Mitsuki continued to weigh the Wraiths and Serpents underwater.
"The air in the Weaver Of Calamity's Zone is becoming purer" Arlene informed everyone.
"So now it's the Water and the Whirlpool we need to be concerned about huh?" Saito said.
"The Whirlpool appears to be caused by those currents from which the Water is streaming into the Weaver Of Calamity's Zone. It's at the point where the two currents intersect. If we want to stop the Whirlpool, we're going to have to seal off the flow of the currents" Concordia noted.
"Think you can handle it?" Ariel asked in concern.
"Yeah, with a little help from the rest of you. If the Serpents are flowing in with the currents as well, they should stop increasing in number the moment we seal off the flow of the currents" Concordia said.
"Then let's get to work" Keiran said.
Keiran, Concordia, Ariel, Saito and I got to work plugging off the openings in the Walls from which the Toxifying Currents were flowing in from. This sealed off the Serpents that had been streaming into the pool via the flow of the currents.
When we were finally done, the Whirlpool gradually began to lose strength and dissipated.
"The Toxicity of the Water is gradually assuming a stable figure. It hasn't been neutralized but it isn't increasing in concentration either" Arlene informed us.
We sighed.
"That's because we've sealed off the currents and any Serpents that might have flowed into the pool via these currents. The only Serpents and Wraiths left are the ones that were already in here" Concordia said with a smirk.
"And how do you propose we deal with them?" Ariel asked.
"We do that by distilling the pool. It's about time we tried out what we learnt in the Hall Of Time. It's time to use some Solar Death Rays" I said with a sinister grin.
"You mean a Purifying Blaze. If we're going to rid this pool of the Nightmares within it, that's what we need" Ariel said with a laugh.
"That's true" I said as Keiran, Ariel and I stretched our hands towards the pool.
In an instant, the surface of the pool was engulfed in a bright golden blaze.
"Look how far we've come already. And we didn't even need to cross over into the Weaver Of Calamity's Zone" I teased.
"That would have triggered a Death Flag" Keiran said.
"Yeah, with all the Toxicity circling about the whole place" Mitsuki said.
"Mitsuki, you're still weighing down the Wraiths aren't you?" I asked.
"Of course or they'd surface and toxify the air again" Mitsuki said.
As time passed, the pool gradually began to vapourize and as the pool gradually vapourized, the Purifying Blaze penetrated even deeper into its depths. The Air in the Weaver Of Calamity's Zone began to get more and more misty. When the Purifying Blaze finally evaporated the entire pool, the Serpents and Wraiths disappeared completely.
We rested for a bit while Arlene checked the readings on her Sensors. Over time, all the mist in the Weaver Of Calamity's Zone reassumed its liquid form and the pool began to fill up once more.
"The Toxicity's gone" Arlene informed everyone.
"There are no Nightmares at the other side of the Wall either" Mitsuki added and finally let down her arms.
"Let's cross over now" Ciella suggested.
Concordia generated platforms with her arrows on which we stood. She guided these platforms across the Wall Of Water. We noticed that the Pool Of Water in the Weaver Of Calamity's Zone was now pure and clear.
