177. Battle at the Depth of Labyrinth

Water began swirling ominously around Tyler and Lily, forming shimmering tendrils that snaked toward them with increasing speed. Lily, ever quick on her feet, snapped her whip at the ground with a fierce crack. The force sent her soaring into the air, allowing her to nimbly dodge the incoming attack.

As she sailed through the air, she glanced down and saw Lutz chanting incantations with his staff pointed directly at Tyler. The water around him morphed and swirled, forming a perfect sphere, trapping him inside.

Water Prison.

Tyler, now fully submerged in the sphere of water, struggled against the pressure and lack of air. His limbs flailed as he tried to swim, but the magic was too strong, holding him fast.
