"If she was using an amplifier, I think I could trace it out but the latter would be helpful too,"

Making good on his statement, Travis casted a projection spell used earlier to decipher Seidon's runic lock. As how the lock was holographical disassembled so did the rifle as well. Aside from the obvious mechanical workings, he quickly narrowed down a number of systematic spells and runes put in place. The multiple characters installed into the inner framework alluded to the weaponizing of an offered mana amount before being fired by the rifle's own mechanical physics in conjunction with the main casting rune. Travis marveled at the design and was pleased at the intrical working of how the weapon worked. While he morally didn't support it, he could not deny it's splendid composition of magic and mechanisms. 

Sure enough, Nemo was right about the amplifying portion of the rifle that made it deadly. He soon found the verse section that helped magnify the shot's power as it was casted. Without it, the ensuing discharge would have had little kick to it and if anything, only carried enough punch to perhaps knock someone down but not actually injure them in the process. Luckily, the amplifier was integrated with the rifle but its considerable complexity made the weapon difficult to use if one didn't properly know how it worked. But for Travis, seeing the artificial blueprint was the same as reading an instruction manual.

It was then that Zoey finally reappeared with his mana crystals seemingly filled and recharged, "Thanks, Zoey. I owe ya," said Travis as he retrieved the crystals back from her.

Per Nemo's orders, Zoey was already on the move again and engaged into a diversionary tactic while Nemo and Raiya began planning and processing their next moves. While having figured the mana-empowered flintlock out, Travis soon came upon a strange realization of the maan crystals he had received back from Zoey. They felt much colder than he had anticipated and gave off an unusual aura that he hadn't anticipated on encountering. It was clear her method of recharging the receptacles was much different than how he had done so previously. However whether they were any more effective than before was unknown to him. Unfortunately he quickly realized that he had no time to inquire Zoey of her handiwork as Seidon as another, much larger tidal wave than before came barreling down on top them.

"Oh, here we go again." Travis growled as he reactively summoned up several cryo runes and casted them.

As like last time, the cryogenic vapors spewed forth from their runes and melded with the crashing water, effectively freezing it. However Seidon's wave held more momentum than he expected and preventing Travis' spell from stopping the attack entirely. Instead, the attack caused the frozen portions of the wave to loom over he and Zoey like an arch as the surge of water harried over. The attack eventually passed harmlessly but not before mutating Travis' efforts from stopping Seidon's attack in to consuming a portions of the containers into a mass of ice and this limited their options and assuming new cover.

"Time to go!" Travis openly declared as he broke cover from the frozen containers.

For the moment, Seidon's attention was back on Nemo and soon Raiya as Travis caught her preparing a new and powerful spell. Seeing an opportunity before him, Travis slid in to a small gathering of box before scrambling to aim the Lori's former rifle at Seidon. Having stowed the crystals Zoey had recharged away, Travis decided to bring one of them out to replenish his reserves.

"Alright, just line 'er up...channel the mana" Travis spoke aloud has he been beginning drawing from the sliver-shining mana crystal supply. As he anticipated, the crystal's strange aura over took him briefly and carried an almost alien sensation. It felt empowering but didn't radiate any sense of rushing strength, instead it felt cool and calm. He momentarily thought if this was a bad idea to utilize a crystal bearing unfamiliar qualities but Travis soon disregarded his worries having confirm the rifle was now priming and was ready to fre, "now, cast the spell and let it fly."

Travis felt the stock of the rifle into his right shoulder as the weapon discharged, shooting a sizable beam of light unseen from its previous use against them. The pronounced shot sped forth and was already upon Seidon's mass. Travis was unsure how effective his shot was but he hopped his intention was knocking out Seidon's defenses would come through, leaving him open for Raiya's own attack.
