"If you want." she replies, snapping her fingers and creating two dozen of her Warding Eyes around herself. Which somehow alerts the aquatic creatures, who all stop stabbing the corpse simultaneously and turn their gazes up towards her. Spotted, you act quickly raising your hands and focusing your own ki into your two index fingertips. "Back me up, in case any get away."
Then without another word you fire, two Death Beams aimed directly at the closest two's heads. Before they can react, your fast, narrow beams pierce directly through their heads. Your twin beams drop the first two instantly, the third of the creatures immediately begins trying to swim away. But Meloka doesn't let it escape, sending a single Warding Eye down at the beast. But as you drop down towards the slain creatures, suddenly you sense more than twenty powerlevels suddenly shoot up all around you as four of the creatures leap out of the water at you, spears drawn! It was a trap?!

And far better with your energy as well, snapping your Energy Body back up to full power around you in a blink. Their stone spearheads shatter against your hardened ki, the creatures making confused noises at their attack failing.
“My turn.” you say, and attack. With a right backhanded blow you decapitate one, and using the momentum twist into a left turning kick that bisects another. You then throw your left hand forward, jamming a knife hand directly through the third's face before grabbing the fourth around the head, snapping it's jaws shut and with a bit of effort crush it's head. Then the water sprayed up from their charge begins dropping back towards the sea, along with the bodies that disturbed it. The beasts in the sea see you, and to your surprise don't immediately back down.
“HAAAA!” you hear Meloka shout, and from what you can sense is battling a swarm of these things herself. But you can't focus on that, as this time twelve of the creatures leap out of the water at you. But as they do, you notice something different. Planted in the sand by one of the creatures is another spear of sort, but it's glowing with an unfamiliar energy you can't sense. The attacking creatures shout again, and once more swing. But it doesn't go quite like the first one. Three weapons still shatter against your ki, but the rest actually manage to pierce your Energy Body! Not deep enough to actually cut you, but the fact that they're doing better means you can't afford to take any risk here. You have to end this, quick!
