Emily's POV
Emily could feel the tension in the air as the group moved deeper through the marshes.
The deeper they went, the quieter the surroundings became.
Even the constant croaking of swamp creatures had faded away. Only the sound of muddy water shifting beneath their feet remained.
The poisonous waters lingering over the marsh had already moved away because of Avery's purification.
Pale streams of clean water spread outward wherever she passed, weakening the corruption in the area. Without that support, moving through this place would have been exhausting even before fighting the monsters hidden inside it.
Emily stayed near the middle of the formation while her summons moved around the group.
The Crimson Sky Wyrm flew above them in wide circles while the Blazing Pterodactyls occasionally descended to tear apart wandering undead creatures hiding inside the fog.
Then they saw it.
The Bone Hydra rested in the center of a giant pool of black water.
