Physics The Greatest Magic 39 Chapter 39: Regre

As we descended, the amount of light the was passing through the water, decreased. It was getting darker, at times like these night vision would be useful.

"John, it's been 3 minutes since we've started going down how much longer?" Serena asked

"I'm not sure, would you rather us go faster?" I asked

We might as well speed up and head straight into the monster's mouth if she'd like.

"T-This speed is good." She replied

"Do you have any illuminations spells? If the monster gets through our perception we'll be in trouble." Ariel said

"The one we've been using so far, the dungeon doesn't work in water," Serena replied

"lux" I muttered

A bright ball of light was formed outside of the Air bubble and illuminated inside of the water making it easier for us to see. We looked around and didn't see any monsters

"Looks like we're approaching the ground." Said Serena as she pointed down

I looked down to see what the ground was like and froze

"Serena... That's not-"

Before I could finish, the dark figure underneath us moved, and we still could barely make out the bottom under it. The dark figure moved around in the water.

"Deprehendre didn't detect it..?" I said

"What's that?" Serena Asked

The figure approached the radius of the area illuminated and I was starting to make out what it looked like a giant eel. It's length looked to be around 18 meters long and it looked angry at us.

An eel can produce electricity. This water isn't pure so electricity can pass through it,

"Stick together. If that's the same monster I know, then no matter what, stay in the air bub-" I said

Before I could finish the Eel rushed at us. It was fast, a lot faster than you'd expect from its size.

"Glacio!" I shouted as I stretched out my right hand

From the tip of my palm, the water began to freeze and in an instant, in seconds it formed an ice wall. The eel charged straight at the ice and hit it head one, but it didn't break.

While the monster was occupied with the wall, I Grabbed on the ariel and Serena and created small Air bubbles around our head so that we could breathe. I then gathered the water on my back and used it to propel us downwards to the floor like a jet canon

Once we reached the floor I noticed on the wall that there was a door to another room. I froze the water and created an Ice cube around us. I made sure that it was durable.

"You two, Stay in here, on my signal I want you both to cast your strongest wind spell," I said as I looked over at them

"But-"

Ariel was interrupted by Serena who said, "This is the best option, otherwise, we'll only slow him down..."

"O-Okay... John, I'll do my best to back you up so don't die!"

"I'll be back," I said as I made a small hole in the ice cube and left.

I made sure to remove close the hole and remove the water inside so that they'd be able to concentrate.

"Lux."

I cast another illumination spell and left it by the ice cube so that they would be able to aim their spell.

I then propelled myself back to where I had formed my ice wall and noticed that it had been broken. I looked around but couldn't find the eel, I also couldn't sense it.

"Is the water messing up my detection?" I muttered in the small air bubble I had formed

I still had an air bubble formed around my head so that I could breathe but the rest of my body wasn't covered so I had to find a way to insulate my body.

As I thought that, I felt a chill go down my spine and propelled myself forward as fast as I could. A split second later, the giant eel, from above, charged straight down at the area I was.

Sixth sense and rose, thank you.

The eel looked at me and then disappeared again into the darkness

The eel was strong, big, can probably use magic and is inside his territory. But...

"Looks like we're playing hide and seek. I wonder who will find who first? Furtim" I said

After that traces of my location disappeared, I formed an air bubble in a different location from me and began to move it around. As expected, the Eel went out of hiding and charged at the bubbles thinking that it was me.

"Checkmate."

I cast magnum Glacies and propelled it at the Eel, I used water to propel the spike so it was much faster than when it's in the air. The eel was too focused on the bubble and didn't notice the glacies.

On impact... Nothing happened, The ice slipped right through the eel's skin.

While I was surprised at the sudden turn of events, The eel's head moved from the bubble I had formed and faced my direction as if it had noticed my presence.

As I was about to propel myself backwards I was hit by a shockwave which paralyzed me and caused my furtim to deactivate.

I knew I should have found a way to defend against that lightning earlier...

The eel who could finally see me, charged straight at me

We should have turned back when we had the chance... If I die what's going to happen to them?

"Ariel... Serena... I'm sorry..." I said as I looked over at them

As they watched me float motionlessly on the water, they noticed that i was in trouble and with tears on their faces they began to charge up their wind spell

"Stop... If you cast that the ice will bre-"

Before I could finish I was gobbled up by the Eel
