The Borders
Section 122 – Water Trap
"It's best that Kashel, because this ritual will attract your magic energy, and will drain it if it doesn't have much magic energy." The Guardian explained, Dirga did not immediately withdraw his hand.
"I'm again." Kashel grumbled, but then he immediately gave his palm and Liam injured Kashel's finger to draw some of his blood.
Lyam has no blood of living beings. It has blood but its blood is more concentrated and black than any other living thing. To be safe, so the Guardians keep using purer original human blood only, because native humans like their mermaids are living beings as well. It's not like the Guardian is an artificial being.
Luan and Anna were guarding around fearing if there was an impromptu attack towards them.
As his blood fused with the seal gate, Kashel felt in his body there was a very strong whirlpool. Kashel covered her mouth feeling nauseous, her magic energy sucked she felt dizzy.
The ground shook at that moment, and a true whirlpool appeared powerfully. Anna used her wind power to try to dissipate the whirlpool from dragging them. Until the gate to the ruins was perfectly opened and immediately led them into it.

They all fell on small stones that had been grown by moss. A place that seems to have been untouched for a very long time by living beings.
Not like the ruins in the desert. This place produces a fairly bright blue light. But no one knew where the blue light came from. Perhaps that blue light was the effect of the magic stone affecting the place thus giving rise to its own light.
"What other traps does the mermaids provide." Kashel Mumbled.
"Huh?! There's traps!" surprised Anna.
"You think it's that easy to get a magic stone?" ask Kashel.
"It's fair that Kyler and Freda don't want to do it anymore." Luan said, Luan did not really listen to the talk of Freda who said he was still traumatized and tired.
"It looks like we'll both experience the same thing as well, after returning later." Anna Timpal. They also continued the journey not wanting to mince words.
Anna and Luan remained wearing their diving equipment. Not daring to take it off was afraid that the place would suddenly sink.
Kashel's body cannot be dry due to the effects of her water element magic. Luckily though always soaking wet Kashel did not feel the cold.
Then with his magic the Guardian changed all of his friends clothes, the anti-damage magic clothes he created from his own magic energy.
"Well this is cool, the Guardian can really magic magic." Amazed Luan.
Dirga just kept quiet while watching the robe he was wearing.
Ever since finding out who Kashel was, Dirga's dislike gaze slowly disappeared. Dirga began to feel he was no longer alone to protect ordinary people from the Spirit of Darkness.

"So the point is I used to hate my own power too." Kashel said to Dirga as they walked side by side, "But there is no other way but to accept it in my own way." Kashel explained as he walked looking straight ahead.
"You must have a hard time trying to accept it. I'm sorry, for thinking only of myself." Dirga felt guilty.
"It's okay, we need to focus on moving forward. In a place like this there will be many deadly traps." Kashel.
"You've been broken before?" dirga asked, seeing that Kashel looked mediocre upon entering a place like this.
"What kind of troublesome task will you continue to do Kashel, I'm concerned for you." Dirga said no.
"How else, it has become my duty, if I do not want to, there will be many casualties. I can't let that happen." Kashel breathed a long sigh but he looked mediocre.
"You don't want to enjoy your life well?" Dirga spoke while bowed down sadly.
"Let's just say this is a job, I'm still living my life well like everyone else." Kashel said he was relaxed.
"Are people like us able to live happily too." Dirga is not sure.
"Although it's difficult, if you look for it you can definitely." Kashel smiled at Dirga.
"Did you find your happiness?"
"For now, yes, just so you know I already have a wife." Kashel was leisurely showing off. Dirga looked at him surprised.
"You're not afraid it'll end tragically." Said Dirga directly.
"I don't want to think about it, I don't know what it's going to be like. But I will keep this happiness in my own way." Kashel said confidently.
Just as their conversation was over, Liam who was walking in front of Kashel stopped, everyone behind him followed him.
Kashel sat down holding her stomach shaking.
"What's Kashel?" Dirga surprised.
Anna and Luan who were walking behind Lyam were shocked when they saw Liam's stomach being pierced by a sharp chunk of ice.
Lyam then casually danced into a sharp chunk of ice that pierced her stomach, as the magic of Kashel and Lyam was now connected to each other. At this time Kashel shared the pain with Liam.
"We have to be careful I'll walk in front." Lyam turned to check on Kashel. The wound in Liam's abdomen looked so open but slowly it closed again.
Everyone who saw him panicked, how could Kashel possibly withstand such a huge wound.
"You shouldn't be okay, you don't have to behave like that Kashel. My wound's influence on you won't have a big impact." Lyam stood before Kashel.
"Even though it hurts, my stomach feels smashed until it breaks, who wouldn't be surprised. Even if it doesn't hurt that much, it still does." Kashel stood back up he was completely fine.
"I didn't expect that the Guardian contractor was such a strong person." Dirga was amazed even Anna and Luan were equally amazed.
"That's why he was chosen to be the owner of the power of the Border Dragon." Kashel was silent when Lyam said that.
"There's started to be a lot of traps around here." Kashel.
"The traps around here are made of water. This would be very dangerous, because water is very flexible." Lyam tried to explain. Even water under their feet can be enemies.
"You guys, can everyone use a protective spell?" Kashel asked, everyone nods, they have prepared all the necessary items to get here, even the empty spell paper they have provided.
"I feel that even the water around me can at any time turn attacking." Kashel said he felt a dark air in the water that covered his body.
"Protective spell." Kashel activated his protective spell, making the water around him beyond his protective spell. Liam also activated a protective spell.
So does the others. Because there was nothing effective in dispelling the water that could suddenly change shape in an instant except for the protective spell.
