Allen Lee's Point Of View
" Glub! Blub!"
Can't breathe... Need to get to air... Swim up... Swim up...
/ Swoosh! Swoosh!/
It's so dark... I can't find the surface... Which way is up?... Going to drown... FUCK THIS!
/ SWOOSH!/
" Haaahhhhh!"
I was able to breathe again... Thank the Gods... I used a wind spell to force the water to split apart around me... To cause this much water to split, of course it was an advanced Wind Spell... But it was needed,
" Lieutenant Colonel... Thank you! Hyack!"
A random solider that was close to me thanked me for the help... He must've sensed me using my mana since it was so dark in here... Speaking of which.
/ Fwoosh!/
" Ah... We can see again... What the hell happe- NO!"
He looked around... It was easy to guess what he saw.
/ THUMP!SPLAT!/
And one of the causes just landed in front of me and exploded into a burst of blood. It was a dead Elf. He drowned... No doubt like the others that are still trapped in the waters around us...
/ FWOOSH!/
Not being able to see anything... This is annoying, so I quickly cast a small Fire Spell to give me some light to look around... Good, I can see the split waters, Elves have drowned, but a good amount have their heads out of the water in random places and are catching their breaths... That's good... This situation isn't hopeless... I thought it was a trap... And I was right... I was worried about my men, but it's good that I'm here, I can save them... After calming down for a moment, now that I have my wits about me, I could think... First and foremost, this Wind Spell, Tornado Burst... I need to continually drain my mana to maintain it... I need to do something else... The ceiling is obviously above us...
" !"
" What Sir!?"
" Nothing, help the survivors that are still struggling, more and more are breaking out of the water with their own Earth, Air and Water Magic, my Spell can keep the water at bay, but they're weak and lack oxygen grab them from the water if you need to! Use some of your Wind or Earth Magic to do it! Go!"
" A... Yes, Sir!"
I tried to hide my surprise with an order... I don't think it worked too well judging by the surprise on his face... it doesn't matter, he's doing what he needs to now... This place... It's not a regular hole in the ground... I bent down to look at the black rock that surrounded us...
/ Knock! Knock!/
It's hard... Not like regular stone... What is this?
/ Splash!/
" Hm?"
" Not good! BURST!"
More water had come from somewhere, the hole we were in was still dark... I quickly poured more mana into Tornado Burst to keep the water at bay... Along with that.
/ Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!/
I lit several more balls of fire to light this hole up... I can see it now... Multiple small holes in the walls of this place... They must be connected to underground streams... That way this hole would continue to fill with water after that initial explosion of water from the sky... How the hell did they even do that? I've never come across that kind of spell in a Grimoire before... Perhaps there's a powerful Magic User with the Demons? Would they have brought their queen into play just for a little scrap at a border? It seems unlikely... That means this entity is an unknown, I'll need to deal with him when I get the chance... But the holes... How hard the black stone that surrounds all around us, that's entrapped us here in this hole...
