The Merfolk pirates were still swarming the ship as the ones that were approaching from the front dove deep into the water to get out of sight.
They would undoubtedly try to climb up the ship once they get closer but we should first deal with the ones climbing up the rear of the ship first.
At least… That was what I thought before an explosion of spray suddenly erupted from the side of the ship.
All of us turned to watch an entire galleon rise up from the sea, water spewing out from its portholes and deck as it floated itself on top of the sea.
Several of the deckhands gaped at the ship that was more than twice the size of ours and any hope that this was a friendly ship disappeared when we saw the pirate flag being flown at the top of the mast.
I realised that the Merfolk that had dove down into the waters below were also on board the ship and the ones that had been hit by our spells earlier were also no doubt on board, having already been healed up.
