Physics The Greatest Magic

The sword gave off a blinding glow as he swung it down onto the water. The whole water started to glow and as john cast deprehendre 

He noticed that the number of fallen mermaids who were within the glow's radius, were dropping. The 8 mermaids that charged straight at them disappeared. 

Almost as if they were evaporated, John could no longer feel their presence. 

As for the other fallen mermaids, they were keeping away from the light. John who noticed this quickly asked 

"How long can you last?" 

"I'm not exactly sure, but I'd say 2 more minutes." Richart replied 

"Please hold out for that long." 

"Understood, I'll do everything in my power to meet your expectations." Said Richart 

"Thank you." Said john 

He then turned towards those who were supporting the swimmers and shouted 

"QUICK! GET AS MANY PEOPLE OUT OF THE WATER AS YOU CAN DON'T WORRY ABOUT SUPPORT! EVERYONE CHARGE IN!" Shouted John before jumping into the water 

"YES SIR!!!" They all replied before jumping in 

As john floated under water with an air bubble on his head, he cast deprehendre to see what was happening. 

The lights belonging to the people were being dragged onto the platform of ice. Everyone was working at full throttle, john couldn't find anyone who wasn't being pulled in. 

And then after looking around for long enough, he noticed that there was a person, who somehow managed to pass off from the near-shore to the off-shore where all the mermaids were. 

She must've been a good swimmer as she hadn't drowned yet. 

"To be able to swim at that level when you're hypnotised..." John muttered 

Without waiting long, john propelled himself straight into that area. Even if it was just one person, every life should be valued 

After all, he knows what it's like to lose someone important to him 

As he reached the person, he noticed that he wasn't within the knight's purfication move, and he was floating inside of enemy's territory. 

Now that he was finally there he could see it. Fallen mermaids submerged in deep depths, circling around in an area a bit far from where he stood. Along with a few fallen mermaids keeping guard as if they didn't want them to be interrupted. 

[What are they doing?] John asked as he propelled himself over to the girl who seemed to be swimming towards them. 

[Most likely a spell, we should stop them before it's too late.] Said Zestari 

When he finally got to her, he noticed that she really was hypnotised. Her eyes were closed and she was aimlessly swimming towards her. 

But that put the question in his mind, how much stamina would she have to have, to keep swimming for that long without drowning. 

Without wasting anymore time, john grabbed onto her and was about to propel himself straight out of there, when both he and zestari noticed something 

[We have company] Said Zestari 

John was complete surrounded by fallen mermaids, who had started to circle him. Although he already knew they were hiding, way before they started to show themselves. 

[So they decided to show themselves huh...] John thought to himself 

"Well it's fine, Glacio." John muttered 

John created a small ice platform and propelled himself on to it with the girl on his hand as the fallen mermaids charged at him. 

Some seemed to be screeching something, but john couldn't hear it, as he had silentium activated. 

As they charged at the platform, John increased the platforms size by freezing more of the water around. 

Seeing this, they backed away, thinking that he was trying to freeze them. 

And before they could attack again, the ice suddenly rose a few feet at high speed, and catapulted John and the girl, all the way to the near-shore. 

[Although I mainly had to use levite to get this far] John thought to himself while he was in the air , slowly falling over to his platform of ice 

While airborne, john could see that everyone had done their job successfully. There were no more people in the waters on the near-shore. 

Only a few people who got around the wall or were already around the wall, on the beach, but they were near the sand area of the water. They wouldn't be able to drown from there, not with all the guards there. 

As john looked closely at the beach, he noticed that there was some sort of group entering the beach. They wore white painted armour like richart but had a different crest on their armour. 

There were around 50 of them, and one with golden painted armour leading them. 

"Who are they?" John asked 

[Most likely, this country's royal knights.] 

"Is there anything you don't know?" 

[…] 

As john started to descend on to the platform he noticed that all of the adventurer magicians were looking at him with amazement, as if they never saw someone catapult themselves before. 

"They don't think I'm flying do they?" John asked as he started to quickly descend on to the water beside the platform 

[…] 

*Splash* 

As john crashed face first into the water with the girl on his back, splashes of water were sent everywhere.

"What's up?" John asked as he climbed on the platform 

His face was red, and he seemed to have a bit of blood coming out of his nose 

"You were up, if that's what you're asking." Richart replied 

"I didn't mean it like that" Said john as he let out a chuckle 

"I have a few questions about what you did" Said Richart 

"So do I" Said another adventurer 

"And I" Said Watlon 

More and more adventurers also joined in, saying they were curious. And after everything they did to help, john couldn't say no 

"Alright, I'll tell you guys after we deal with everything." Said john 

[I'll just explained that I catapulted myself, nothing else.] John thought to himself 

They seemed very happy with the result, but there was still something john had to do 

[Zestari are you ready?] John asked 

[Of course] Zestari replied 

"I wonder how serena and Ariel are doing... Hopefully they're not mad at me for giving them another job...." John muttered
