There was the sound of water rushing through the deep cracks. At first glance, it sounded like a waterfall. If they are swept away by that waterway, they would be left behind. Her face hardened because even the veteran guide, Hone, had not even thought of such a situation. It felt like death was approaching.

"Uwaaaa!"

"Hold on!"

The cracked ground rose and twisted here and there. The crew had been swept away by the movement of the ground and had already dispersed naturally. At this rate, the raid team was getting separated. And the scattered people did not know how long they could survive in the dungeon—they might even face death. In particular, no one knew where the river flowing below would lead to.

'Calm down, think calmly!'

Andra looked at her wrist. It wasn't full, but the wrist pattern was shining in a fairly large amount. Wouldn't this be enough to save the crew? Although she will have to go and think about what happened after the light is worn out. But all of a sudden, she got scared. Will she be able to do it by herself?

'I've never done anything like practice before.'

Andra had never experimented with the limits of her power and what kind of magic she could use. Although she refrained from using her powers, she had never lived a life of being a mage. Even if she suddenly became able to do magic, she was extremely limited in the magic that non-mages could implement.

For that reason, the magic that Andra had tried with her Awakened power was usually simple. Pulling objects, or casting a bondage against Dustin. She wanted to try another spell, so she read a spell book that was written as a training book for wizards, but she gave up reading because of the esoteric and incomprehensible explanation.

'I should try, though.'

Andra shook off her uneasiness as she saw the crew barely hanging by. It wasn't the time to be troubled. She had to first rescue the crew. Andra closed her eyes for a moment to concentrate on her best. Soon she could feel a powerful force swirling through her body as the patterns on her wrists began to heat up.

'What are you doing?'

Dustin realized that she was about to do something, as an indescribable aura flowed from Andra, who was hanging on his arm. Unfortunately, however, the ground they were on cracked again, causing Dustin's blade to tremble unsteadily. The ground began to tilt vertically.

"Kugh...!"

The arm that held the handle of the sword trembled as blood vessels popped out. The sword was slipping downwards. They had to move somewhere else before the sword was completely removed. But he couldn't do anything when holding Andra with the other hand.

"Kyaak!"

"Hey, this is...!"

Columns of water spurted out of the cracks in the face of the tumult. They collided with the ceiling and spewed water at random. The crew, who were continuously splashed with water, struggled. Meanwhile, Dustin noticed another column of water rising just below them. If they get hit with that, it would be dangerous.

"Andra!"

Dustin called Andra, who was still concentrating with her eyes closed. Head somewhere else right now! They had to get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will get caught up in a column of water. But Andra didn't answer. She closed her eyes as if immersed, and only frowned.
