"Help us! Please!"


    One of the women holding the railing started to cry as she begged Jane to do something, but Jane''s confidence was already dwindling as she got a full look at the monsters in front of her. Jane ran in here thinking she was going to be the hero and save them, but faced with the reality of how strong the monster she was facing was, she almost froze up!


    But Luna''s face passed across Jane''s mind again, and Jane felt an unbearable amount of anger fill her up as she realized that Luna wouldn''t freeze up. Luna would charge forward with that stupid stoic look she always had!


    ROARRRR!


    Jane put her hand up as the Eldritch roared and she called on all the water she could! The water in the ocean immediately responded to her call as it surged towards the boat! It grabbed the people leaning against the railing and brought them close to Jane before the water surrounded all of them in a cocoon that swirled and flowed constantly!


    Jane grit her teeth and forced her hands together, and the water ball started to reduce in size as the water inside it was forcefullypressed!


    Water was not meant to bepressed, and any scientist out there would tell you that water was an ipressible form of matter. But Jane found out that water was capable ofpression as long as you did not give it any other choice. Normal methods were not capable of forcing water topress itself, but magic was.


    With her mana infused in the water, Jane forced the water toe together and fill in whatever gaps it could find, forming a super-hard ball of water around them that blocked out anything from entering! And at the next moment, the Eldritch struck!


    KA-BOOM!!!


    "Kya!"


    "Ah!"


    "SHIT!"


    The people in the water ball were all thrown about as the Eldritch mmed its hand into the boat and sunk it into the ocean! They plunged underwater, but Jane''s water ball held strong, preventing any water from getting through the wall!


    The Eldritch noticed that Jane and the humans were unharmed inside the ball, and it roared in anger once more as it reached out with a tentacle and grabbed the water ball! Jane grunted as she felt the immense pressure squeezing down on her, and she had to brace herself as the Eldritch reached back with its tentacle and mmed the ball into the ocean again!


    BOOM!


    At the speed they were traveling, it almost felt like the Eldritch just mmed them into concrete! Jane felt a line of blood leaking from her nose as she struggled to keep the ball intact! If she drops this ball or releases the pressure holding it together, then they were all going to die to that Eldritch!


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    The people in the ball were screaming as the Eldritch continued mming them into the water over and over again! But Jane just tuned them out as she tried her best to stay strong! Her eyes were bloodshot, and her teeth were almost chipping from how much force she was exerting just to keep that ball intact!


    Luna wouldn''t feel the strain here.


    Luna would be able to keep this ball intact.


    Luna would be able to win against this monster.


    Like hell am I going to give up here! I''m not going to lose to that fucking bitch!


    Jane''s mind was a tsunami of thoughts as she boosted her own confidence with her words! Jane could feel her mana slipping. She barely had any at all, and the only thing keeping her standing was her stamina and her sheer stubbornness! But then, Jane''s eyes widened as she felt the Eldritch stop its attacks.


    It brought them up and close to its eyes, and Jane''s heartbeat elerated to an unhealthy pace as she looked into the red, ring eyes of the Eldritch ss monster. Jane''s water ball twitched as some of her confidence started to run away from her.


    The eldritch opened its mouth to reveal the multiple rows of jagged teeth everyone in the ball started to shout as they knew what was about to happen!


    "It''s going to eat us!"


    "No! I don''t wanna die! No!"


    "Help! Somebody help us!"


    Jane''s eyes were wide as she stared down into the wide, jagged mouth of the Eldritch ss monster. Was it really going to eat them? Was this really it? All that hard work. All that stress. For what?


    Just to get eaten by an Eldritch ss monster?

    I… I don''t even have a family. I''ve been so focused on surpassing Luna that I haven''t even gotten a fucking boyfriend yet! I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die here! A red line of tears fell from Jane''s bloodshot eyes. Please...


    somebody save me.


    The Eldritch ss monster released its tentacle and allowed the ball to fall freely into its mouth, and Jane felt herself giving up all hope as she thought this was the end, but at the next moment, her control over her water ball was forcefully stolen away from her as the waterball strengthened!


    "What?"


    Jane was shocked when she felt the water under her control getting yanked away from her! It was like she was a child whose candy was just taken away, and she stared down at her hand in shock as she wondered what just happened! The water all around them suddenly solidified into a much stronger ball as the bond between the molecules of the water was strengthened to an almost ungodly level!


    One side of the ball froze up into solid ice, and the other side began to release smoke as the water there started to evaporate!


    Jane''s eyes widened as she saw the impossible feat! What the hell was this? Someone was making water freeze and boil at the same time? Jane didn''t need to think long before she knew exactly who it was that was doing this! There was only one person who could handle water to this degree!


    Luna is here!


    Someone shouted in fear from behind Jane as the side of the ball that was boiling suddenly started releasingrge jets of steam until it transformed into a propulsion system that sted the ball away from the Eldritch!


    PHWOOM!


    SLAM!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The Eldritch mmed its mouth closed, but the ball just managed to clear away from its range at thest moment, and it was sted towards the beach! It mmed into the ground with intense force and the side of the ball that was frozen absorbed most of the impact, and protected the people inside from dying from the force!


    The water ball broke, and all the people inside fell to the ground in pain and relief as they cried out happily! They couldn''t believe they made it out alive! They really thought they were going to die!


    Jane didn''t care to cry out at all. She was on her hands and knees, and she coughed a few times and cleaned the blood on her nose before she looked up to try and find Luna. Jane knew that Luna was the only one that could have done this! No one else had this level ofmand over water!


    And Jane didn''t have to look far before she saw her standing there. The goddess of moonlight looked as beautiful as ever. With her white hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head and her slightly narrowed eyes staring at everyone as though they were beneath her. Luna turned to look at Jane when she noticed Jane staring at her, and Jane could immediately see it in Luna''s eyes.


    From the way Luna was looking at her, Jane knew that Luna didn''t recognize her. Jane was painfully reminded at that moment just how much she hated Luna.
