139 Fallen mermaids spell (1/2)

The sword gave off a blinding glow as he swung it down onto the water. The whole water started to glow and as john cast deprehendre

He noticed that the number of fallen mermaids who were within the glow's radius, were dropping. The 8 mermaids that charged straight at them disappeared.

Almost as if they were evaporated, John could no longer feel their presence.

As for the other fallen mermaids, they were keeping away from the light. John who noticed this quickly asked

”How long can you last?”

”I'm not exactly sure, but I'd say 2 more minutes.” Richart replied

”Please hold out for that long.”

”Understood, I'll do everything in my power to meet your expectations.” Said Richart

”Thank you.” Said john

He then turned towards those who were supporting the swimmers and shouted

”QUICK! GET AS MANY PEOPLE OUT OF THE WATER AS YOU CAN DON'T WORRY ABOUT SUPPORT! EVERYONE CHARGE IN!” Shouted John before jumping into the water

”YES SIR!!!” They all replied before jumping in

As john floated under water with an air bubble on his head, he cast deprehendre to see what was happening.

The lights belonging to the people were being dragged onto the platform of ice. Everyone was working at full throttle, john couldn't find anyone who wasn't being pulled in.

And then after looking around for long enough, he noticed that there was a person, who somehow managed to pass off from the near-shore to the off-shore where all the mermaids were.

She must've been a good swimmer as she hadn't drowned yet.

”To be able to swim at that level when you're hypnotised...” John muttered

Without waiting long, john propelled himself straight into that area. Even if it was just one person, every life should be valued

After all, he knows what it's like to lose someone important to him

As he reached the person, he noticed that he wasn't within the knight's purfication move, and he was floating inside of enemy's territory.

Now that he was finally there he could see it. Fallen mermaids submerged in deep depths, circling around in an area a bit far from where he stood. Along with a few fallen mermaids keeping guard as if they didn't want them to be interrupted.

[What are they doing?] John asked as he propelled himself over to the girl who seemed to be swimming towards them.

[Most likely a spell, we should stop them before it's too late.] Said Zestari

When he finally got to her, he noticed that she really was hypnotised. Her eyes were closed and she was aimlessly swimming towards her.

But that put the question in his mind, how much stamina would she have to have, to keep swimming for that long without drowning.

[We have company] Said Zestari

John was complete surrounded by fallen mermaids, who had started to circle him. Although he already knew they were hiding, way before they started to show themselves.

[So they decided to show themselves huh...] John thought to himself

”Well it's fine, Glacio.” John muttered

John created a small ice platform and propelled himself on to it with the girl on his hand as the fallen mermaids charged at him.

Some seemed to be screeching something, but john couldn't hear it, as he had silentium activated.

As they charged at the platform, John increased the platforms size by freezing more of the water around.
