Xavier had depleted his ntal energy. Before Xavier and Eulene could even venture into the haunted gallery, Xavier had used a lion's share of his ntal energy on preparing that devastating move—'Death of a Star.'
Then, in the room full of paintings, the trick he pulled off against Walpurgis depleted the scarce ntal energy even further. He barely used any energy in the chanical room, but the library was like a black hole to his ntal energy.
His mind had beco utterly exhausted after rembering the exact page, line, and word from seventeen thousand of the books he had morised. The internal competition against Eulene only added to the depletion.
Xavier had entered the core of the haunted house, the 'boss room', with the bare minimum of his ntal energy. He had no choice but to use an external weapon to conserve his energy.
But sharpshooting happened to be a Bobby of his, an activity that replenished his ntal energy instead of depleting it. After the thirteen minute shooting session, he was back at his full strength.
Now, all hell was about to break loose.
The entire white space began to shake. The possessed hunchback, sensing the danger from Xavier began to use its powers on him.
But Xavier easily avoided all the of the monster's attempts to steal his space.
"Just because we are in a parallel space doesn't an that I lost my control over the elents in the principal space," Xavier declared. The red smile on his mask widened and glowed.
While the monster was focusing on Xavier, Eulene remained dormant. She knew that the creature was still capable of redirecting her attacks to Xavier. Disturbing the crazy bastard was the last thing she wanted to do right now.
And clearly, that bastard had a plan.
Xavier swiftly dodged all of the possessed psychiatrist's invisible attacks. The space kept quaking and soon, the gushing sound of water reached everyone's ears.
The slender monster screeched and disappeared from his spot. For the first ti since the possession, the combined monster moved from its spot. It teleported a few dozen ters away, high in the air.
A powerful geyser of water shot out from the ground underneath where the creature just had been. The pillar of gushing water did not show any signs of slowing down as it reached dozens of ters high in the air.
After reaching a certain altitude, it bent in the air like a slithering snake and shot towards the monster. Water was still gushing out from the spot as liquid snake elongated further and further. The head of the bending water took the shape of a drill and twisted at breakneck speed as it headed towards the monster.
The slender hunchback screeched again, as it teleported away from its spot. It appeared beside the body of the humongous water python, but away from the drill-like head.
But Xavier was already expecting that. Another drilling head branched out of the body part closest to the possessed doctor and shot towards it.
It used its power to steal the space, the drill head of the new branch of water was gone. But tip of the remaining part of the new water branch spiralled into a new drill. It remained its trajectory.
The monster screeched. The stolen water drill shot towards the new spiralling head. The two bodies of water collided and caused a huge splash in the air. But the splash turned into many small pythons and flanked at the monster from all directions.
In the anti, the original tip of the live geyser had already made its way towards the being.
The monster screeched again. It had no choice but to warp away, and warp away it did.
The powerful monster that was once in the offensive, was now in the defensive, using all its powers and abilities to avoid Xavier's attack.
Water kept endlessly streaming out of the hole Xavier had originally tore open. The huge body of water slithered in the air, changing directions, growing out new branches, surrounding the monster, attacking it.
The creature could not have a mont of peace. But nevertheless, it was still unscathed.
Eulene was observing the battle from below. She figured out the pattern of its teleportation movent, and also the maximum volu of space it could steal at once.
After sending a transmission to Xavier, she began her own barrage of attacks. The new strikes of hers were totally different from her prior attacks. The small slashes she had been using against the monster earlier in the battle was simply following Xavier's request—buying ti for him.
Now, she was going for the kill.
Sword intent surged from her very being as she sent multiple slashes in the air. All the translucent sword waves flew through the air following their own trajectory, avoiding their fellow watery attacks and charging at the escaping monster from different directions.
As before, the intelligent creature redirected the attacks. So were redirected without delay against other sword waves, and so were sent against the watery attacks and Xavier. It tried to store one but-
The slender monster scread as a gaping wound appeared on its chest.
"Heh!" Eulene scoffed. "Do you think you are worthy of containing this seat's sword?"
The barrage of water and sword waves continues. Steam, water, sword Qi and sword intent filled the white space.
There was barely any spot in the space to teleport to. Attacks began to connect to the monster's body, tearing through the deford suit it was wearing. Bloodless black wounds opened on all parts of its deford body.
It screeched constantly in pain as its white eyes began to turn bloodshot.
"Move away!" Xavier shouted as he dashed as far away from the monster as possible.
Eulene did not doubt Xavier's warning even by a bit as she subconsciously flashed away from her spot.
All the whiteness in the sight turned black in an instant.
And everything other than Xavier, Eulene, and the tall deford monster disappeared—be it water, or sword Qi.
All that remained was absolute darkness, and an overwhelming devilish aura that pressed on the duo.
"Die…"
