An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

As Dozer dove in, the rolling waves quieted down slowly.

Everyone stood and waited quietly at the shore, each lost in their own thoughts. It was a very quiet lake with emerald water.

The visibility in the lake was very low as no fish were seen. It was obvious that it was a little abnormal.

Time ticked by slowly and very soon, five minutes had passed. The surface of the lake remained calm and there was no movement under the surface as well.

The trio that dove in had disappeared completely and they made no waves.

"It's been five minutes since they dove in, right? Why aren't they surfacing yet? Could there have been an accident?"

"Likely impossible. If there was any monster in the lake, they must have put up a fight with it. However, there isn't any sign of struggle. It's enough to prove that they're alright."

"An undercurrent could have pulled them under and drowned them?"

Looking at the calm surface of the lake, everyone started discussing and guessing. Martial artists might be stronger than ordinary people. However, they could only hold their breath for around five or six minutes.

If they were doing a strenuous activity, they wouldn't be able to hold their breath any longer than that. The trio that dove in earlier had no diving equipment with them except for their goggles.

It was quite strange that none of them had resurfaced after five minutes.

"Captain Wilder, how long can your team members hold their breath underwater?" Grace asked suddenly.

"Under normal circumstances, eight minutes," Garrett replied.

"We've reached the six-minute mark. If they don't resurface soon, I'm afraid that they'd be in real danger." Grace checked the time.
