'Wait he can still talk?'
Alexa looked at Will and saw him get up in a rather unnatural manner, like a puppet being controlled by strings. Will was indeed immobile, but the poison did nothing to his water-related abilities. Will simply controlled the blood in his body to move his body for him. As he was not used to this, his movements seemed unnatural.
Will quickly noticed the poison within his body and expelled it by use of his abilities. At this stage, isolating a weak poison and ejecting through the infected wound was not a problem, as Will had faced a plethora of poisonous creatures in King Yama's Gate. He could have also used Radiant Energy to heal himself, so he wasn't in a bind at all.
As for Nzou's gravity control, Will had to get a bit serious, and he dealt with it in a rather unique matter. He gathered water intent around his body, especially concentrating in the formless aspect, so Nzou's gravity skill passed by Will and completely missed him. If Nzou's targeted gravity was like rain, then Will's formless intent was like an umbrella, keeping him dry.
This all took time to explain but it happened in only a few seconds.
"Karim, fire!" an anxious Merlin shouted. When Will spoke earlier, Merlin felt a chill down her spine. Her primal instincts were telling here to destroy Will down to the last atom, and her teammates felt the same.
Alexa panicked a bit and was about to move to save the young man, as he was wanted alive, after all, they were from the same faction.
'They must be scared and are acting irrationally right now.'
Yet as she was about to move, she froze, because she felt the surrounding World Energy gather towards Will in an instant. It was clear that he was about to do something big. As she was hesitating, Ibrahim put his palm on her shoulder and shook his head, using his chin to gesture toward Will. The meaning was obvious. Alexa stopped moving and observed the battle.
As he spoke, Will had released a small but targeted burst of killing intent at his opponents. He wanted them to be as frightened as possible.
Will spent 5 years away from society, fighting with beasts daily. He rarely had a chance to fight with humans, so he intended to enjoy this experience to the fullest. This was one of the rare moments in the boy's life where he felt like playing the villain.
"Understood!"
Karim let go of the arrow of light, which whizzed past everyone and headed for the somewhat unsteady Will.
Will simply raised his hand, with a large torrent of water gushing out of it. The wall quickly formed a thick wall of water. The arrow of light entered the water wall and exited, but for some reason, it completely missed Will and landed many miles away. A large explosion a few miles in diameter rang out behind the blind Will, who merely smirked. Many buildings nearby were vaporized while the others nearby were blasted apart.
Merlin and her teammates were gobsmacked, with no clue as to what happened, but Alexa had a rough idea.
'Refraction!'
When light enters water, its angle shifts. As the light leaves the water, its angle is returned to normal, but the previous deviation means its pathway has already changed.
'But that wasn't a simple ray of light, which means that that isn't a simple wall of water.'
Ibrahim had the same idea as Alexa and had a grim expression on his face.
The arrow of light had landed on a block with apartments, but now there was only a massive crater with some lava spewed all over. The resulting shockwave from the blast almost blew Letty and Duke off their feet.
'Now it's my turn.'
Before the others could react Will made his move. He turned his Wall of water into 9 different people, each looking like the 9 he was facing. Each person had a bow and an arrow notched at their look alike. Then within seconds, the arrows were released.
Alexa's face turned grim and she shouted, "Ibrahim!"
The man did not need instructions, as his hands were already touching the ground. In an instant, walls of sand appeared in front of his teammates to protect them.
'Ibrahim's sand is a natural counter to water, it will quickly absorb it like it was nothing.'
One of the reasons Ibrahim was chosen to come was his class. It allowed him to use sand-based skills that were the bane of all water users. If one was unfortunate enough to touch the sand, they would get dehydrated in seconds.
Will sensed Ibrahim's energy gather, making the former a bit apprehensive. Ibrahim and Alexa had always been giving him bad vibes. The kind you would get from something that could be a threat to you. Perhaps it was due to the disappearance in disparity in levels, but when Ibrahim's level became 74, his threat level decreased by a bit. Nevertheless, Will was quite weary of these two.
Each of the water copies shot their water arrows at their targets. Ibrahim further fortified his walls, preparing to absorb the attack, when he was stunned speechless. The arrows stopped just before touching the walls while extensions popped out from them, going around the walls. The extension was hand-like with distinct fingers at the tip. The hands grabbed the shoulders of their targets, but before they could do further they started shrinking. Spikes extended from the walls and pierced the water's extensions.
The spikes were like sponges, sucking the water arrows and their hands dry until they were no more. Will smiled but for only a moment. Quickly dispersing his water incarnations. From the clones to the dragons that were in a deadlock with the Woodsy's worms.
Ibrahim stood up and slowly walked toward Will, "You are indeed strong enough to somewhat back up your arrogance, and this could have been a competition, had you faced another. Unfortunately, you met me."
Will crossed his arms, "What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
Ibrahim continued, "My class is a counter to all water type classes, as you just saw. Observe, for even destiny wants me to defeat you."
Will raised a brow and said, "You seem to forget something bro."
Ibrahim stopped a few steps from Will and looked down at him. "oh really, what's that?"
Will looked up defiantly, and put a hand on his sword. After a moment of hesitation he brought out some water, and the blurry shape of a blade was revealing itself. Will then looked at the ever handsome Ibrahim and said, "My name isn't The Solitary Water Sovereign."
