Talk:Seiko Lake/@comment-47.149.102.17-20180101010939

My impression of the chapter was that the lake wasn't created by the rivers flowing into a crater, but rather by Makoto's magic that dissolved the landscape (and the nearby combatants) and transmuting it into water. The scene where Lancer (who is missing a leg) and Sofia are floating on the lake talking to each other seems to happen immediately after the magic abated, as they are still exhausted after fighting. The line about the rivers suggests to me that the rivers flowing through the region now flowed through the lake, as if it had always been there. The description was not that it was an attack that created a crater which formed a lake, but rather an attack that made a lake.

If it had been the other way around, I think it would take very long to fill the lake up, to the point where Sofia and Lancer would have been long gone otherwise, given the description of the size of the lake. It stated that everything within sight was dyed in blue, and the lake formed slightly smaller than the area dyed in blue.
