Sss—Crash!
The whizzing of the water gun piercing the air rose with the rumbling of the cave's collapse, echoing continuously underground.
For a moment, everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the incoming water flow, but they could only catch a glimpse of a fleeting glint of water!
Clang!
The knight, as if facing a formidable enemy, raised his shield, and immediately heard a crisp sound of a heavy object striking!
Strangely, though the water gun seemed quite stable, the force of the final burst of water was several times stronger than the initial impact.
The knight took a half step back, and his sturdy bronze shield, capable of withstanding the simultaneous fire of alchemical firearms, shockingly now had a deep dent in it.
—But that was just a stream of water?!
"Who is it?!"
The leading knight bellowed, both as a question and to pass the alarm to their headquarters nearby.
Nobody answered him.
But the sword had something to say.
