Splash—
Patricia's conversation ended.
Ronald twisted his body and leaped into the water, causing a splash to follow.
Due to the uniqueness of the underwater environment, Patricia did not accompany him, leaving Ronald to explore the potential issues alone.
So...
What exactly was the monster lurking beneath the waters?
Given what he saw in the labyrinth picture book, could this creature, akin to a sea monster, have ties to the heretical magicians? And if it indeed was a product of the mystical side, why could he not sense its magic fluctuations on land?
Ronald's experiences in the "Infinite Negative Domain" were still fresh in his memory.
Under the Complete Technique, Bapulor, transformed into a colossal monster, emitted such vast and sinister magic power that it could be felt from a great distance away. If there were a similar entity beneath the seas surrounding Springs...
Not to mention a perceptive powerhouse like Ronald.
