Even as the water began rising faster below her, Scaly didn't waste any time meaninglessly panicking about her situation and instead just focused on climbing after she stabilized herself on the shaking tunnel walls. Making sure that she didn't end up falling into the water below where the baby kraken lurked. Understanding that it would be a death sentence for her if she did really end up falling into the water.
After all, the baby kraken was already a difficult opponent that seemed to specialize in dealing with small dragons like herself… And together with just how much higher its level was compared to her; she didn't really see any way for her to win in a battle with it. Much less so in the tight underwater environment like the collapsing tunnel network of the now dead mole lord.
Not just would she have to worry about the baby kraken in that kind of environment, but she would also have to worry about drowning or being buried underground without any way out.
