This trap may not seem like much, but that's only to Kain.
With his destructive magic skills, destroying a bunch of monsters blocking his way was relatively simple. But with a team of Adventurers who mastered melee combat, possibly with additional magic support, wanting to fight and deal with many monsters in such a narrow terrain was extremely difficult.
In that case, the adventurer team, after having slain the monsters, thought that they could quickly retreat safely. But all would soon become hopeless when they were blocked once again, and the path behind was sealed by the monsters that rose from under the water.
