Burning Fumes

"It's below us!"

Everyone jumped back except for Rune and Shiro. Shiro aimed her twin magic pistols at the ground and fired a barrage of shots into the toxic water. Rune stepped in to take her place soon after while adding in a barrage of his own with his fists. He cast his sword aside and punched down with tremendous force and his muscular arms pummeled deep beneath the surface.

They jumped back to join the others soon after as a muffled cry reached their ears from somewhere below. The catfish breached the surface and flopped over on its side. It was stunned and it's sturdy flesh was now cracked in several places. It looked like arid dirt that had hardened and dried out from too many seasons without rain. The tough outer layer on its back was much sturdier than its softer belly.
