One-Eyed Monster-Chapter 493 - 490: Confrontation (II)

In fact, Stan Sol's thinking was correct; it was just that Igor hadn't figured it out yet.

Kadi couldn't hear what Stan Sol was saying. He just stood there, perplexed, watching Igor scratch his head in confusion.

The Great Mentor observed this and chuckled grimly to himself. Igor could be very clever at times but also incredibly foolish. He had not yet experienced the true warmth and cold of the world… The scariest part of the Inner World was this: losing control of oneself. If that happened, everything would become meaningless. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Great Mentor felt Stan Sol's intentions were quite clear, but sadly, Igor didn't understand them. Perhaps it was because Stan Sol needed to exert a lot of energy to control the Ghostly Flame and didn't have the capacity to properly explain what he meant. The Great Mentor analyzed it this way. He felt he might need to help these young people. Although their thinking might be far beyond his own, their combat experience showed their rashness, and the invader was clearly a reckless individual.

"If we could control these Water Folk, the transparent beings might be able to fight back," Kadi suddenly blurted out. After his initial puzzlement, Kadi too began to ponder. He had always been reluctant to use his brain, but now, feeling helpless and alone, his mind started working involuntarily. He had to think of a solution, or they would be captured by these Water Folk.

Kadi's idea was rather distinctive. His suggestion even made the Great Mentor marvel. Of course, the Great Mentor didn't think Kadi's method was necessarily better; rather, Kadi's words had aptly reminded Igor.

This was Igor's Inner World, after all, where Igor had free reign. He could control everything here. Therefore, controlling these Water Folk depended entirely on his will. Now, it all depended on whether Igor could realize this.

Igor looked around. He was still controlling the moon, but his thoughts were imprisoned at that moment. He could only watch as the Water Folk constantly changed shape—sometimes large, sometimes lean and agile—gliding continuously on the sea surface. In an instant, they dispersed the numerous Malice Spirit Entities.

The Water Folk were swift, and their watery forms were extremely flexible. Igor didn't think he could possibly catch them. He could only let them roam freely here.

Is that all I'm capable of? Or is the opponent simply disdainful?

Wizard Reed, the mastermind behind the Dark Sea, had not felt any significant retaliation. This made him feel somewhat humiliated. He had slightly increased his power level, but the opponent showed no reaction at all. The Malice Spirit Entities were constantly being devoured, which seemed to indicate the opponent had no solution. However, who knew if this was another trap laid by the opponent?

Wizard Reed's mindset was complicated at that moment. What was happening in reality differed greatly from what he expected. This was an entirely abnormal phenomenon. It was very possible that the opponent didn't care at all, or perhaps a trap had been set…

Should I charge in or observe for now…?

Who would have thought Igor's slow reaction would have such a great impact on Wizard Reed? It was very hard to tell. At that moment, both parties were in a state of cluelessness, hesitating and not knowing what to do next.

Igor, who had been lagging several beats behind, finally realized what he should have done from the very beginning. At that moment, he finally acted like the master of his Inner World should: "Ah, this is my Inner World! I can control the moon as I wish, so I can change this place into something else too!"

PHEW—Stan Sol let out a long sigh of relief. He finally understood. It hadn't been easy! At that moment, he was still using the Ghostly Flame to direct the Malice Spirit Entities. Those entities were just too dim-witted; they couldn't even dodge the Water Folk. To preserve their power, Stan Sol was doing everything he could. This was, in a way, his indirect struggle with the Water Folk, a battle between fire and water.

"What do you want to change this place into?" Kadi asked, very curious about Igor's next move.

"Didn't you say you wanted all these Water Folk to stop? How can you stop running water? It's actually simple. All we need to do is freeze them," Igor said casually. After all, this was his Inner World; he could do whatever he wanted.

A world of ice and snow. Everything was frozen. The Water Folk, who had been galloping on the water's surface, were instantly fixed in place, turning into lifelike ice sculptures in various poses.

"It's the dead of winter now, so it should look like it!" Igor declared. He could summon the moon whenever he wanted, let alone control the weather. Moreover, as he said, it was now the dead of winter.

Igor's counterattack naturally reached Wizard Reed. Although the sensation came late, Wizard Reed still felt the strong hostility.

For the first time, his sea was being interfered with by someone else. It seemed the opponent had come prepared… Then let's see who the true master of this world is. In the extreme cold of winter, the water is indeed frozen. But that doesn't mean the water has stopped flowing. Similarly, this ice can also be a potent weapon; it all depends on how you use it. As for those Malice Spirit Entities, those who are meant to return will still return. As for those who don't want to, well, they can just disappear along with these ice peaks!

Wizard Reed began to chant. He didn't know about the concept of an Inner World; he relied on this magical Mantra to support this Dark Sea.

After his Mantra changed, the Water Folk who had been sealed in ice began to shatter with a CRUNCHING sound. Shortly after, the fragments of the shattered, icy Water Folk turned into numerous Ice Blades. These Ice Blades hovered in the air, constantly moving. Their target was clear: the Malice Spirit Entities.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! These Ice Blades flew directly towards the Malice Spirit Entities, their speed so fast it was hard to react in time.

"My heavens! This guy completely misunderstands the situation," Kadi suddenly blurted out. Actually, Kadi's meaning was simple: he thought the opponent was idiotic for not seeing the clear reality that Igor could control everything here, except for the direction of this sea!

So, what was the use of these Ice Blades being fast? They melted into puddles of icy water before they even reached the Malice Spirit Entities.

A large sun hung in the sky, emitting brilliant rays. This was the true power to combat darkness!
