The water octopus dissolved and when the massive amount of water touched the ground, it formed a broad staircase that led to the top of the wall.
The Tigris commander, who had hoped on using the wall, couldn't believe his eyes. The mage he was dealing with was definitely above the diamond grade or her elemental control would not be this fluid.
The staircase crystallized and hundreds of Ashbourne soldiers climbed it, rushing towards the Tigirs Footmen, who had prepared their shields and swords.
"Don't let them get to you; move down!"
The Tigris commander bellowed and his men rushed out of the alure, descending towards the ascending Ashbourne soldiers.
Suddenly, a part of the staircase—the part under the Tigris Footman—became water and they fell screaming.
The water became ice again when the Ashbourne soldiers were close.
Bam!
