According to the Water Demon Viscount's plan, the opponent's remaining magic power would definitely not be enough to escape from here.
The other side's fate is certain: to die underwater!
Now that Ling has lost her magic, what will the opponent use to defend themselves?
In the vast, dark space, An Yi glanced at her status bar and then continued forward.
Losing all his magic would certainly be troublesome for him, but what's even more troublesome is the reduction in his health.
The annihilation wasn't due to a reduction in his own life points, but rather to the [Hero of Thought], whose resilience was far lower than his own, yet who was also submerged in water!
Sword Hero: Are you still alive? I think I'm almost there.
Hero of Thought: Almost dead...
Paric neither complained of hunger nor paid any attention to the feeling of hunger.
In his heart, there was only endless despair.
Deep in the water dungeon, he remained curled up at the bottom, unable to breathe, his hands plugged with his ears numb.
Even if you asked him to pull his hand out of his ear right now, I doubt he could do it.
The entire space was deathly silent; no sound could be heard. Only endless stinging and coldness enveloped my body, making it impossible to distinguish between having my eyes closed and open.
The system interface in front of him was now blood red, constantly reminding him that his health was below 10%.
He was dying.
Annie said that the brave can neither drown nor suffocate, but Palik felt that he was about to drown in this dark abyss.
He couldn't feel his heartbeat and had stopped breathing for some time.
If it weren't for the constantly decreasing health points on the system and the messages An Yi sent from time to time, he would have felt as good as dead.
Aside from using the system's equipment to give himself +30 resilience, there's nothing else he can do.
The prolonged cold and stinging pain numbed him, and he wondered if death was also this dark and unconscious.

[Thunder Hero: How's the situation? Sword Hero, can you find David?] 5·⊙∶$4『〉
Michaeli stood at the entrance to the water dungeon, tears silently streaming down his face.
The entire castle was covered by the chat group, so he could naturally see the messages in the chat group all the time.
At first, Paric would go crazy, but later the number of words he replied with became less and less. The last sentence, "Almost dead," made Michael clench his fists and tears involuntarily flow from his eyes.
If he could do anything, he would definitely jump into the water prison to help rescue people.
But Annie's advice was for him not to come down.
Because before destroying the water prison, Michael also needs to unleash his magic to attack.
Once the magic is released, it will be absorbed by the environment and become an aid to the Water Demon Viscount.
Below is the domain of the Water Demon Viscount, which is not a simple magical connection like that of a castle.
and so……
There is nothing he can do.
[Thunder Hero: David, hold on! The Sword Hero will find you! Believe in him!]
Let me tell you, Mr. Sword Hero is really amazing. You saw it in the message just now, right?
The Sword Hero alone scared away six demon viscounts, and before he arrived, he had single-handedly defeated a demon lord of viscount rank.
He can definitely get you out of there.
So never give up! Persevere to the very end!
Michael could not imagine the despair Parik was in at this moment, but he could imagine Parik's situation from An's previous descriptions.
He was afraid, afraid that Paric would give up his life out of despair.
It would be easy for Paric to end his life; he only needed to inhale a mouthful of water, and he would die underwater in the darkness.
[Health Points: 3%] Yi
"Don't give up... ah..."
The brave warrior did not respond further.
With health points reduced to this level, even in a normal environment, one would behave like a terminally ill patient on the verge of death.
Paralyzed in bed, unable to move, unable to speak even in pain, the body's organs are trying their best to keep functioning, but can only breathe weakly.
At this point, he was no longer aware that as his health points decreased to this level, his ability to think was also gradually being lost.
He used his last shred of rationality to hold his breath.
Because humans have an innate ability to breathe.
I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief... and then I really died.
It was the very last moment, and he should have said something, but his brain couldn't support him organizing any more words.
[The Hero of Thoughts: ...]
Sword Hero: Don't say your last words before you're dead; it'll be embarrassing if you survive.
In the pitch-black water dungeon, An Yi quickly discovered that it was a cell used to imprison giant demons.
Perhaps because giant demons don't appear in this city often, the prison is basically abandoned.
The reason why Parrick is kept here is probably quite simple.
The environment here is too spacious; compared to a cell where you can check each cell individually, Annie can waste more time here.
Huge iron rods stood like pillars inside the massive hollow, and the exaggeratedly large cells held no giant beasts.
Paric, on the other hand, was left in some corner and wasn't even deliberately hidden.
It's like an ant being thrown into the conference hall, especially since it's pitch black; how easy would it be to find it?
but……
Heroes have health bars!
After circling the cave, Annie immediately found where Paric was.
They didn't even need to damage the cell; they simply squeezed through the iron rods.
Upon landing, Parik was seen curled up in a ball with his ears plugged, lying on his side on the bottom of the water.
"Oh!"
With a thought, An Yi transformed her magic into wind element, creating a cavity around Paric that isolated him from the water.
【HP: 2%】
"Not too extreme," An Yi thought to herself.
Paric could feel the stinging and coldness around him being dispelled, but his numb body prevented him from reacting in time.
I thought I had become completely numb and was really going to die.
That's true, after all, his health points are only 2%.
Until... something with a faint fragrance was placed in front of her mouth.
"Ah...ah..."
Paric instinctively opened his stiff mouth with all his might; his desire for food made him want to bite into it without thinking.
Then, as soon as I opened my mouth, someone shoved a whole piece of food into it.
The hero cannot choke to death; with just a little force, no food can withstand the hero's swallowing power.
The food is crushed and mashed directly in the mouth and then swallowed.
"?!"
Paric suddenly opened his dark eyes, and just moments before he was on the verge of death, he suddenly felt his body filled with power!
The status bar, which was originally blood red, returned to normal, and both health and mana were fully restored!
It's food for the support hero!
Because he returned to normal, Parik's thinking ability also returned to normal.
He reacted almost immediately, and then used his telekinesis to create a hole in the water, enveloping An Yi in front of him.
"Not stupid either." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)
An Yi took out another portion of food made by a support-type hero using a special ability from her pocket, stuffed it into her mouth, and fully recovered her health;
"It seems your magic hasn't been absorbed."
Is it because psychic power is slightly stronger than magical power?
"Well, if I had to explain, it would be that my mental power is wrapped around magic."
"Magic blocks psychic power from the outside; to absorb magic, you must first break through your psychic power," Paric explained quickly.
An Yi was also momentarily surprised when he said that "the strength of psychic power is higher than that of magic power".
After all, he didn't specifically tell anyone about it.
However, considering that An Yi was powerful and had been through countless battles, it seemed normal for him to know, so I didn't think much of it.
What An Yi was thinking was;
Ultimately, what's used to absorb magic power in the domain is actually magic power itself. Psychic power is more stable than magic power, so it can't be broken through.
However, just maintaining the magic shield and resisting external magic attacks requires a continuous consumption of magic power.
“Let’s go, let’s get out of here first,” Annie said.
