275 Mining for Treasure

|[Wait. Hold on a moment you two.]| I stopped the serpents who were about to drag Arsinoe into the hole. |[Don't enter there for now.]|

I couldn't believe they were travelling to and from the Middle Stratum so easily. What if they encountered a serpent from the snake clan or worse!

What were they even doing there?

And as I approached, Cassio and Andromeda stared at me in confusion, but Arsinoe took that distraction to strike out against Andromeda with a water blade that was enough to push her away, but not enough to cause any real damage.

And with the two now fully drenched, Arsinoe slipped between their curls, quickly making a break for the surface.

Unfortunately, she didn't get very far before tripping over a sudden gust of wind.

Morgana, who positioned herself behind me, shot Arsinoe down rather ruthlessly, enough for Cassio to catch her in a single bound.
