Speaking under the water was no issue for Leon but he knew that his friends would have a hard time understanding him. He pulled them all close and spoke as clearly as he could. "I will wait for an hour. Mus skill causes a massive wave of water that pushes everything away. It's a defensive skill I learned that allows me to protect many people at once with my spear. I can't use it often because it uses a lot of mana and pushes everything around me away. Just keep track of time and escape when I use it. Hold on to stone walls and make sure you are defended from the debris."

His plan was simple. When Walker was about to start the battle with Lust and the others, Leon would use his skill. That would mean that Neil would only need to deal with the remaining demons and controlled elves making it easier. It did put Leon at a risk but that was already accepted. 

The seeds scattered around Leon as Alma opened the vials. She was able to easily grow the razor whip weed due to her recent training and learning about it. The reason the blue ivy had grown so well was because she had spent years learning about how it grew, absorbed mana, and crossbred. The razor whip weed was the same. Alma had gone to the herbalists and found every piece of information about it she could. It was a major jump in understanding so that she was able to properly use the razor whip weed to battle and protect others while not hurting them or herself. 

The mass amount of razor whip weed surrounded Leon leaving space for him to use his skills and only a small hole in the top to worry about. But it was just enough for him to leave without being hurt. If anything tried to come at him they would be hurt before they got to him. The group moved away and prepared themselves for more sneaking. They would have to avoid anything they saw as they went toward the island castle. 

Gil made a move forward motion and let Neil and Midnight take the lead. They would be the best suited to fighting in the front now that Leon was waiting for the right time. Walker felt that he could make a skill similar to Leon's mastery skill with his spear. But what Walker caught on to was that it was a defensive mastery skill. In his mind this meant that Leon had more than one mastery skill. This one was just a defensive one. It only made Walker believe that there could be multiple forms of the spear mastery skills. However, this was thinking for another time. 

The group moved forward and found that the deeper the water got the easier it was to see. They could still see the shadows of floating platforms and boats on the surface but the signs that the water elves had abandoned the lake bottom was gut wrenching. There were parts of what should have been resting areas and training places broken to pieces. They had been torn apart for their materials. They could only hope that the castle wasn't the same so that when the water elves were set free they could have something familiar to hold on to. 

Walker felt a hand hold him back. Both Alma and Gil had stopped him since Neil and Midnight had stopped. They could see the large shadow of a giant fish swimming through the water around a floating platform. 

The large fins they could see above the water were nothing compared to what they could see here. Walker immediately used his all around appraisal on the brown and green spike fish. The jagged teeth made him wonder if this was something brought from the demon lands so that they could more easily control the water elves, nymphs, and sprites.

'Demonic hagfish- tamed 

This is a monstrous fish that requires only mana to survive. They would normally survive on darkness and water elemental mana in most water sources. However, they possess a brutal urge to kill and eat. They attract prey by spreading poison in the water they have absorbed through time. Then they viciously tear and consume whatever is affected by the poison. These demonic hagfish can be used for a myriad of materials but are best used for warding off water monsters. Their spines are known for making amazing underwater arrows.'

It was just as Walker had thought. The hagfish were demonic and had been tamed. Now they would need to be dealt with once Lust was defeated. It was certain that if a hagfish was killed then the tamer would alert Lust. As much as Walker wanted to get rid of these brutal monsters he had to wait. But they were all sure that these monsters were the reasons for the water elves to be removed from the water. It was also why the water sprites and nymphs would not be in the water either.
