Every well aboveground overflowed wildly, and the clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker.
Rumble!
After another thunderclap, heavy rain fell from the sky.
Splash, splash, splash...
The raindrops were large and densely packed, a true downpour that soon drenched all of Longwind Prefecture.
The abnormal increase in moisture grew ever more apparent, naturally alarming all the ghosts and gods of Longwind Prefecture. They appeared and searched in every direction, but for the moment, none could tell what had happened.
"What divine being is working magic in my Longwind Prefecture? Please show yourself!"
In the south of the city, the City God of Longwind Prefecture manifested his divine form, hovering in midair as he shouted his challenge toward the sky.
The overflowing moisture rose into the air first, creating the impression of dark clouds bearing down overhead. It certainly carried the oppressive weight of someone casting a spell.
But the ghosts and gods had clearly focused on the wrong place.
Bang!
Water shot straight out of the Octagonal Well beneath Lakeview Tower in the north of the city. Immediately afterward, numerous wells throughout the city erupted, disgorging great quantities of water from underground.
Roar!
The dragon's cry beneath the earth also rose in pitch.
"It's below!" "Dragonkind?" "That Flood Dragon?"
Only then did the ghosts and gods realize that the problem lay underground. Perhaps that Flood Dragon had gone mad.
As the columns of water erupted from below, Yi Shuyuan, who had been on guard for some time, finally realized something as well. The Flood Dragon had not charged out immediately, so he must have been trying to stabilize the waters below.
In other words, the Flood Dragon hadn't caused this flood?
Then that was even more terrifying. It meant even that Flood Dragon couldn't hold it back!
