The crack had to be widened somewhat with mana to allow entrance through it. There was a level of care that had to be taken, as if it was widened too much, the water on the other side would flood this cave system and create problems.
August had to do it himself, using the natural water supply to create pressure and cut the crack just slightly wider so that they could fit their bodies through it.
At most, the incoming water could create a tiny waterfall, but it wasn't enough to stop their group's progress.
Once again with August's help, the other geniuses were able to quickly adapt to the change in pressure as they squeezed through the opening and made it to the other side.
Everything relied on the young Azure Dragon now.
Other than August, the rest had no power in an environment like this. For people like Iridia or Valerie, it was worse than most as their elements didn't exist in the ocean.
