Agatha instantly retracted her wand and then stared wide-eyed, astonished and vigilant, at the "counterfeit" monster that was slowly raising its head before her. In that instant, she realized... the monster, composed of Prime Element "mud," had undergone a transformation.
Some force or will had descended into its body and instantly changed its essence—it had turned into a medium, continuously releasing terrifying power in the dim sewer.
Layers of noise emerged, turning in her mind into countless incomprehensible murmurs and roars. Agatha felt her peripheral vision blurring with trembling shadows, which seemed to blink open countless eyes in an instant. This was a sign that her spirit was being contaminated—continuous fighting had accumulated exhaustion and mental injuries, weakening her defenses and leaving her almost unable to resist.
