They all shot up, passing by the reefs, where they had hunted earlier that day and in no ti they were back on the boat. The boat was livelier than before as more people had returned from their hunts and relaxed on deck.
"Holy shit, that was so cool! I want to go again," Annie said, excited, the pain already forgotten. "How often have you defeated that snake?"
"Only once before, and I lost one soldier in the fight," Seraphina said. "I would have never expected to see such a powerful beast so far up."
"Aweso! Can we go again tomorrow?" Annie asked hopefully.
"No, you're strong enough to farm beasts on your own now," Seraphina said calmly. "You’ll progress much faster that way."
"Captain, how many are still in the waters?" Seraphina asked a man lying in the sun.
"We're waiting for two groups. Should I send soone to fetch them?" the captain asked with a small bow.
"No, we can wait. It shouldn't be long anyway," Seraphina said, sitting down and working on her insights.
Thalion used the ti to get back in the water, transforming into the Tidecaller Serpent to test a few things. The speed of the long snake wasn’t as great as the marlin, but the power that coursed through his body was on a different level. With that, it was settled for him, and he transferred the two passive skills his marlin form currently had to the serpent. Imdiately, he glided effortlessly through the water.
There was one more thing he had to do before he could discard the marlin form. The snake didn’t have any fins—not even the end of its tail had a fin or was flattened like most water snakes. To change that, he used Morphic Adaptation and transferred all the marlin’s fins to his snake body. The marlin had two fins on its back: one tall one behind its head and a smaller one near the top of its tail. There were also the two pectoral fins, and behind them were four smaller fins placed in regular intervals until the tail began. At the end of the tail was the caudal fin. Thalion moved them all to his snake body and then discarded the marlin form. It would be useless anyway without any skills or fins.
Thalion tried a few more maneuvers with his altered body, and the difference was like night and day. He could now accelerate at speeds that even surpassed the marlin, and the long body allowed for faster turns. The only issue he had was with the length of his body, it was difficult to keep track of the whole thing.

Thalion reviewed his newly acquired abilities, certain that the serpent's stats were more than sufficient, especially in wisdom. It was ti to read through the skills before testing them.
Aqua Lance (Legendary)
The Tidecaller Serpent focuses its energy, unleashing a concentrated beam of water that slices through the battlefield like a spear. The pressurized water beam is so intense that it can cut through stone and steel, dealing devastating damage to all enemies in a straight line. Anything caught in its path is thrown back by the sheer force.
Water Shield (Exalted)
Summoning the depths to its aid, the serpent forms a spiraling shield of living water around itself. This shield absorbs damage from all sides and pulses with power. The regenerative waters are also healing the serpent.
Waterslash (Exalted)
With a swift flick of its tail, the Tidecaller Serpent summons a cutting wave of water that rushes forward like a blade. The water, sharpened to a lethal edge, slashes through anything in its path, leaving behind a wake of destruction. The force of the slash is strong enough to tear through armor and scales alike.
Tsunami Breaker (Legendary)
The serpent calls forth the force of the ocean itself, creating a shockwave of water that radiates outward in all directions. Everyone caught within the initial impact is not only sent flying but torn apart by the force, sustaining massive damage. The residual energy of the shockwave lingers in the water, slowing the movents of those caught in its wake.
“Damn, those skills are unbelievably strong,” Thalion thought, noticing sothing peculiar about his new body—he couldn’t unlock his jaws like regular snakes. "Yeah, whatever."
"So, how much ti do I possibly have left before the boat leaves?" Thalion wondered while swimming back to the boat.
"Hey, how long until the others return?" Thalion asked the captain as he jumped back on deck in his human form.
"They'll be back any mont," the captain replied.
"So, how's the new form?" Seraphina asked with interest.
"Just amazing. Thank you for the help. I hope I can make it up to you in the future," Thalion said ignoring that the woman probably had enslaved many humans from earth. It was clear to him that the princess didn’t do anything without a plan, but she didn’t have to help them personally today.
"Maybe you'll have that chance in the future. I just wanted to find new allies," Seraphina said calmly.
"On that topic, I’d like to et you two later to speak about so important political figures," Seraphina announced.
Annie and Thalion, of course, accepted. It didn’t take long until the last two groups arrived back on the boat, and they started their journey back to the palace as the sun slowly sank, casting an orange light on the water.
