> Are we aware of how the Buddhist's boat looks like? And if so, does this look anything like it?

>As you understand it, their vessel was converted to a temple before you began to awaken. So you technically have.

>"I would say otherwise, Crown Prince!" Seiga says. "You are in no condition to be pursued at all!"

> Groan, but lean back down and let them do their thing.

>You lean back down. The behemoth descends from above, but not quite so quickly as you're used to; Futo's vessel is definitely faster than you are on your own. The gash you cut around its underbelly and the one you cut along its neck are easily visible, and the energy glowing through them is not longer just bright purple. splotches of darker purple writhe and shift within it. You are certain it wasn't doing that before. In the distance, you think you can see Tojiko, she has been all but left behind. You ache pretty fiercely, particularly along the front of your torso. It feels as though you've been burned as much as impacted.
>"Any orders, Crown Prince?" Seiga says.

>Yes, but the gulf between the boat's speed and your own is notably smaller than the gulf between the behemoth's and your own.
