As the whole group continued to descend down the stairs, John felt a familiar vibe which he was sure he had forgotten.
Yes, there was no way he could forget, the change in the moisture in the air and the amount of water in the steps
"God... I hate this part." John muttered as they were about to reach the bottom
Ariel also seed to have notice what the 2nd floor was going to be and looked a bit troubled, but she let out a sigh in regards to this and gripped her staff.
Ariel's staff wasn't the sa as the one of the past, she changed it half a year ago, or rather, she the changed the magic stone to upgrade it.
John suggested that it would be better to change the whole thing, but she was insistent on keeping by claiming that it was precious to her.
Eventually John gave up and just upgraded it, but he never got to know why it was that precious.
Serena's Staff was also upgraded rather than changed saying that it was precious, when John saw this, he assud that magician's staff were probably precious due to all of the adventures they've survived with it.
But in the end, John never got to hear the true reason out of either Serena or Ariel's Mouth and he also didn't change his gloves.
As the group reached the 2nd floor, the amount of sorrow on John's face was completely visible to everyone else
"Alright, another water floor" John muttered as he let out a sigh
They were standing on an edge after reaching the bottom of the stairs, and in front of the edge were large pillars with surfaces on them.
Underneath the pillars were was water, and under that was...
[John.] Zestari called out
[You don't have to tell ]
"Silentium" John muttered after fake chanting
Everyone looked a little confused by John's recent action
"Eh, didn't the boy just cast a spell?"
"I Wonder what it was for"
"John, what spell did you cast just now?" Azure asked as he walked up towards the edge where john stood
"Hm, look down there."
Those who weren't at the edge walked over and along with Azure, everyone looked down. Under the pillars there was water and if you looked closer, you could see the monsters which were down there Fallen rmaids.
[Hm... could these rmaids have sothing to do with the event outside?]
[It's unusual but not entirely impossible, that being said, they'd have a ti limit if they were to leave the Dungeon which created them.]
[So it's possible...]
"There are fallen rmaids, Quick! Everyone use the noise-cancelling ear plugs" Said the lady
[Noise cancelling ear plugs? Ah... So that's how so adventurers avoided getting caught in the hypnotic sound attack]
If they tried to raise a wall like john did, then the sound could just go around or over it and they'd still hear it. Sound works by vibrating the particles in the air after all. It so cases it can pass through or around walls.
[But why would so people have the noise-cancelling ear plugs on stand-by at a beach? I doubt the adventurers that helped were evil people that could have planned the attack... Could there be more to this than I thought?]
[You might be on to sothing, but many adventurers bring those ear plugs to the beaches for all sort of reasons. Relaxing is one of them.]
[Hm...]
Once everyone had put in the air plugs john decided to tell everyone sothing just in case
"Ah, by the way, I forgot to ntion this earlier, but within all these pillars, so of them are unstable, you could end up falling to your death."
However, there was no reply, everyone had started to communicate by gestures amongst their party mbers
"We don't have any noise cancelling ear plugs, so we'll have to go together" John suggested to his party
"Wasn't that the plan from the beginning? More importantly, you're not babysitting them, they should know that so paths are irregular. The fact that they even brought ear plugs in the first place, shows us that they've been to this floor." Said Serena
"She's right john, you don't have to feel responsible for them, and Ms Sylvia, since you've been here before, do you know the right path or does it reset?" Ariel asked
"It resets."
"I-I see... I can use my wind searching spell to see one which is most likely to fall or whichever one looks unstable. What about you john?"
"I can use deprehendre to see the right path, if you look carefully, all the paths look unstable, however, so have more mana imbued in them than others to reinforce them. In other words, If we jump on to the reinforced path, we should be fine."
Once john finished both Serena and Ariel gave him an amazed look which quickly changed into a sad look of defeat from both.
"That's not fair..."Ariel muttered
"Stop cheating..." Added Serena
"Haha, alright, but we should probably get going, Azure's party seed to have already planned sothing."
Ayda had started to chant sothing and it looked like she didn't have her ear plugs on. Azure also took his ear plugs off before saying.
"See you at the finish line."
"Saint-Class Wind Magic: Griffins emulation." Ayda muttered
Suddenly, Large gusts of wind began to gather in front of their party which stood at the edge, before taking the form of a big griffin twice the normal size.
When azure saw this, he put his ear plug back on and waved at john before jumping on to the griffin.
Everyone watched as the whole party jumped on to the griffin and mounted on it. When it was Ayda's turn to jump, she nearly fell off, but the purple lady which was in front of her, managed to grab her in ti
Since everyone had ear plugs on, they couldn't talk to each other, but I'm sure they knew that they all had a common goal
To make it there first, but at the sa ti, no one was aimlessly charging in because they didn't want to beco rmaid food.
Once everyone was mounted, The griffin began to flap it's wings sending gusts of wind everywhere, before heading straight to the door which led to the boss room.
"If it's a race you want.... Then it's one you'll get." John muttered with a grin
