”Darn! Where did he go?” Serena asked
”...”
”What's wrong, Ariel?”
”John... Didn't feel like himself, but felt familiar...”
”I know, it's just like that time.”
”Do we go after him?”
”Can you propel yourself underwater, with wind magic and create an air bubble underwater?”
”Yeah”
”Really? Then, let's go.”
----------------------------------
John who had suddenly vanished, reappeared inside of water where Rikirin was currently rampaging.
He watched as the electric beast devoured mermaids and fried those in the vicinity, one by one.
The circle of mermaids which john had seen earlier, was already gone. Instead, all that was left was a pitch-Black sphere
John muttered a few words underwater before saying
”Quaerere” Translation: Search
He then looked around as if he had noticed something, he hadn't noticed earlier. From behind came a fallen mermaid who seemed to have been hiding itself throughout this whole time.
As it was about to reach john, he raised his hand muttered 3 words before saying
”prohibere” Translation: Stop
The mermaid completely froze, and instead slowly floated towards john, due to the moment from charging at him.
As it reached john, he muttered another 5 words before saying
”Advanced Lightning Magic: fulgur Forum”
Lightning began to circulate around the water slightly over John's hand, before he extended it towards the mermaid, and it collided straight with it.
The fallen mermaid was hit by so many volts underwater, that it turned to ash
”Now... What am I going to do with you?” John asked as he looked at the pitch-black sphere
John then propelled himself closer to it, he looked completely unaffected by the electricity which was being conducted around the water in that area, or the fact that he was underwater with no air bubbles on his head.
As if he had some other method, to freely breathe and talk underwater.
The lightning beast, seemed to have finished its job as it just circulated the black sphere, seeing this. John decided to withdraw it.
”Rikirin, disperse.”
The lightning beast, dispersed and suddenly vanished. After that, John slowly propelled himself towards the Sphere as he muttered a few words
When he finally reached it he placed his hands on it and a smile formed on his face
”A forbidden spell... What a lucky find...” John muttered
[By gathering enough magic power, they planned to unleash this upon the city... John would want me to leave things like this so...]
John started to mutter a few more words, before saying
”hauriendum” Translation: Absorb
It's size which was nearly 10x the size of john, was slowly decreasing.
And in a short while, it was completed absorbed. Seeing this, Zestari made a small smile.
”I see... it really was a forbidden spell... Aurora somnum exterreri solebat” Translation: Nightmare Dawn
Satisfied and somewhat happy, john turned back towards the shore, and as he was about to teleport back there, he noticed 2 familiar faces in the water, propelling themselves towards him at high speeds.
