บท 256: Unnecessary Welcome

A single spell wasn't enough for the current to break. Enveloped by a meager light from the crystals surrounding the crack, Katolin gathered light at the tip of his fingers.

Ned wasn't annoyed every time Katolin looked at him to ask for his permission to release her spell. But Ned thought to talk to her about this kind of attitude later on the surface if they could make it on the surface.

Katolin released the light on the tip of her fingers. Midway after her release, the light exploded into tiny beads then formed an arc of lightning that darted towards the crack.

The crack and her spell made contact which causes a silent roar underwater.

The explosion broke the current, cueing both of them. Katolin jerked a moment before proceeding near to Ned. She held up her hand toward Ned as though waiting to be grabbed by her savior.

Without much of a thought, Ned grabbed her hand. Under the depths and coldness of the lake, her warm hand soothes Ned.
