The withered wing that was soaked in the water was muttering in the water with a livid face, bubbles constantly coming out of his mouth, a halo of different colors appeared beside him, and a pair of translucent moth wings with countless intricate patterns and colors, slightly incomplete and thin, grew out from his back. A translucent energy body that seemed to be made of the same material as the wings also generated around the withered wing at the same time. This energy body directly isolated the water that trapped the withered wing like a spiritual coat, allowing him to break free from the water prison.
"Disperse..."
All of a sudden, the radiant and colorful translucent spiritual coat surrounding the Withered Wing suddenly expanded and deformed rapidly, transforming into thick translucent tentacles that swept wildly around a large area, directly cutting off and breaking the giant water prison surrounding the Withered Wing, causing it to completely collapse and scatter without being able to form. If Dorothy were here, she would find that the tentacles transformed by the Withered Wing were almost exactly the same as those grown by the pseudo-moth she faced in Navaha.
With the help of countless tentacles transformed from the spiritual coat, Withered Wing broke up the water prison. At this time, Edward's new round of water arrow rain had already been fired. Withered Wing waved its tentacles and continued to disperse all the water arrows attacking him. However, such powerful spiritual tentacles went straight through the ground and solid objects such as electric poles, which proved that these tentacles were not actually solid matter.
The elements created or controlled by the elementalist are very different from the elements in their own world. The spirituality contained in them is much higher. It is because the elements have the high spirituality given by the elementalist that the elements will obey the elementalist's dispatch. And it is because the elements controlled by the elementalist have high spirituality that they can cause damage to non-physical existences such as ghosts and dreams. This is why ordinary fire cannot burn out ghosts but the elementalist's fire can.
However, the effects of things are relative. If the elements of the elementalist can interfere with non-physical existence, then some non-physical things that cannot interfere with material existence can also interfere with the elements of the elementalist. For example, the part of the body of the pseudo-moth that Dead Wing has summoned and coexists with, the dream matter of the pseudo-moth's body can interfere with the elements controlled by Edward and disperse them.
After summoning the body of the pseudo-moth as his armor, Withered Wing also fought back against Edward who refused to communicate. He controlled his countless transparent tentacles to extend in all directions and began to sweep wildly. All of a sudden, a dozen giant transparent tentacles over 30 meters long began to use Withered Wing as the center and scraped the surrounding fog like electric fans. The affected fog broke away from Edward's control and began to dissipate.
At this time, Withered Wing was already aware that the reason why Edward's body could attack him from all directions at all times and make sounds at all positions was most likely because he turned his body elements into water and then dispersed it into mist, hiding in this large area of thick fog, and thus attacked Withered Wing from various directions invisibly. In this case, Edward's body was not only difficult to detect, but also unaffected by most of the attacks. However, for Withered Wing, he was completely unaffected by this.
The tentacle body of the withered-winged pseudo-moth is a dream body. Its attacks can directly act on the spiritual level and are not susceptible to elementalization. A dozen tentacles more than ten meters long madly swept across the surrounding thick fog, hiding in the fog. As long as the water vapor belonging to Edward's body was swept away a little, Edward would suffer mental damage. The wider his body was spread, the easier it was to be swept away.
“Ugh!!”
Finally, accompanied by a dull cry of pain, Edward, who had a small part of his body attacked by the Withered Wings, felt a strong mental pain, so he immediately adjusted his strategy and quickly gathered his scattered gaseous body to avoid the sweeping of the Withered Wings. All of a sudden, not far from the Withered Wings, a human-shaped body made purely of water emerged, and Edward's face appeared on it.
Seeing that Edward had finally condensed a visible entity for himself, Withered Wing was not idle either. It immediately waved countless tentacles to whip Edward's water body violently. Seeing this, Edward condensed a water-shaped sword in his hand. The sword immediately grew about ten meters after it condensed. Facing the countless giant tentacles that were attacking, Edward waved the long water sword to cut off these spiritual dream entities one by one. At one moment, seven or eight tentacles of Withered Wing had been chopped off. After the tentacles were chopped off, Withered Wing immediately used his spiritual power to quickly regenerate them, and then continued to attack. In this way, the two sides attacked and defended, and temporarily fell into a stalemate.
Faced with this situation, Withered Wing frowned, then perked up, radiating a powerful hypnotic wave in the surroundings. Anyone affected by this wave would immediately fall into a deep sleep, and this wave spread very quickly, with Withered Wing as the center of the circle, there was no dead angle, and it was almost impossible to defend against.
As the hypnotic wave spread, all life within two or three kilometers around Withered Wing fell into a deep sleep in an instant. Those who were still functioning normally fell to the ground unconscious in an instant. However, after such a powerful hypnotic wave spread to Edward, it only made his whole body pause slightly, and then he moved again without any hindrance, and then cut off the attacking tentacles. Withered Wing frowned at this scene.
Edward had made full preparations before coming to face the extraordinary people of the Black Dream Hunters. Since sleep is essentially a process of the spirit entering the dream world, he used some extraordinary rituals to link his spirit with other realms to avoid being attracted by the dream world. At this moment, Edward bound his spirit to a certain extraordinary item, and then sent the item to the water world, allowing the extraordinary item to serve as an anchor point. Now Edward's spirit has been extended and anchored in the water world, and it is difficult for the dream world to attract it. As long as Edward's spirit does not enter the dream world, he will not be forced to sleep.
After resisting the hypnosis and cutting off another tentacle of the pseudo-moth, Edward began to fight back. He stared at the Withered Wing protected by the dream body armor in the distance, as if he wanted to launch an attack. Seeing this, the Withered Wing also surrounded itself with several newly grown tentacles and prepared to step up defense to deal with Edward's attack.
At this moment, Ku Chi suddenly felt a piercing pain inside his body. He covered his chest with his hands, stared with his eyes wide open and spat out a mouthful of blood, then staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"When...how could it be..."
Looking at the blood he spat out on the ground, Ku Chi murmured in disbelief. At this moment, he clearly felt that his physical strength had been attacked just now, and his chest, lungs and internal organs were severely damaged for a while, but he didn't quite know why?
On the other side, Edward looked at the withered wings vomiting blood, and a smug smile appeared on his face. The foreshadowing he had laid before the battle even started finally took effect.
The reason for the matter started with Edward's extraordinary silver basin. The function of the silver basin was to dilute Edward's own spirituality to an extremely small degree at a moment and spread it throughout the entire island, so that the water vapor in the air would be stained with a trace of Edward's spirituality. These spiritualities were diluted to a very thin level, almost the same as the subtle spirituality existing in one's own body. Therefore, unless one had a strong "lamp" and "cup" spiritual perception, one would not be able to detect the subtle changes in the spirituality in the air.
Elementalists manipulate elements by adding spirits to them. But generally speaking, when spirits are diluted to this extent and spread over such a vast space, even Edward, a waterbender, will lose his connection with spirits. These spirits attached to ordinary water vapor will become natural spirits. But this is Mon Carlo, and Edward has a special arrangement in his lair. In Mon Carlo, he can maintain a stronger connection with the spirits in the water vapor through the silver basin.
The connection was very weak, so weak that Edward couldn't even control the thin spirituality spread through the silver basin, and then use this spirituality to manipulate the water vapor they were attached to, but Edward could still use them to perceive things, especially when someone inhaled the water vapor carrying Edward's spirituality into their body through breathing.
It is extremely difficult for "Shadow" Extraordinary people like Ku Chi, who are at the Red Cheng level, to use their extraordinary powers to force their way in from the outside, but the situation is different if it comes from the inside.
When Withered Wing inadvertently inhaled the water vapor with Edward's spirituality, the water vapor entered his body and bypassed Withered Wing's anti-Extraordinary detection defense from the inside. Edward could sense Withered Wing's existence through his spirituality in Withered Wing's body and know what kind of Extraordinary he was. Similarly, as long as they were within the range of the main island of Mon Carlo and inhaled the water vapor attached to Edward's spirituality, Edward would know where they were? Whether they were Extraordinary, and what kind of Extraordinary they were? Edward found Withered Wing through this trick.
What's more, although Edward cannot directly control the extremely thin spiritualities in the air, during the process of breathing, those spiritualities will be attracted by the human body after entering the human body and will not be exhaled. They will slowly accumulate in the human body. After breathing enough times, Edward's spirituality in a person's body will slowly accumulate to a sufficient density until it can be controlled by Edward.
Withered Wing thought that only ordinary fog contained Edward's spirituality, so he used his tentacles to disperse it, but who knew that it was also in ordinary air, and he could not sense it at all.
And now Ku Chi is facing such a situation. During the continuous journey and battle, he has breathed too much Moncarlo air. The spirituality of Edward accumulated in his physical strength has reached the point where Edward can manipulate it. Facing the dream body defense that his attack could hardly break through, Edward chose to drag out the time until the spirituality in Ku Chi's body reached the standard, and then he made a move in one fell swoop, controlling the water in his body and destroying his internal organs, while Ku Chi was completely unaware of this.
