Chapter 352 — The Second Life
Undertow is stretched to its limit.
The chain locked to Veric's shield disappears into the water and runs to Rhayne, who's trying to find footing while the pull of the ducts drags her legs the other way. Veric reels it in with both hands, putting almost all his weight on his good leg, but the other one still gives every time he has to push.
Rhayne manages to lift her face.
"I'm fine!"
She isn't.
I trigger Pressure Step three times.
The first burst detonates against the surface and throws me up before the current can grab my legs. The second one carries me over one of the worst stretches of the flow, and the third launches me across to Veric, dropping me beside him.
I grab Undertow's chain.
"Pull!"
We both haul at the same time.
