Alex clapped his hands, and the four little creatures were easily dealt with. The elemental reactions were great! These three Whopperflowers kept triggering them with their attacks.
Alex beckoned to Rhodeia of Loch in the sky: "Again!"
Provoked, Rhodeia was annoyed and decided to stop toying with him. She would let him witness her true power!
"Those who do not understand the preciousness of 'water' naturally do not understand its terror!"
As she spoke, Rhodeia, after a longer period of charging, manifested a larger water sphere in front of her chest.
The next moment, the large water sphere split into eight smaller water spheres.
Small monsters appeared on each platform.
Ducks, Finches, Cranes.
Chipmunks, Boars, Crabs.
Finally, two Flying Eels were also soaring in the sky.
After unleashing this wave, Rhodeia of Loch clearly looked like she was about to be drained dry.
She no longer floated in the sky but landed on the water's surface!
"No way! This isn't like the game!" Alex exclaimed, startled, and immediately summoned his Baron Bunny, activating its ultimate.
He tanked the DMG with the heavy armor bunny puppet's shields, but his three Whopperflowers suffered.
Alas, they couldn't withstand the furious onslaught.
Blaming himself, Alex silently mourned the deceased Whopperflowers. He automatically collected the Nectar they dropped.
Good! They'll become my ascend materials! They've become a part of me!
It seems that only after ascending to level 40 can one be considered a true Summoner.
Next time I encounter this, I can recall them.
It wasn't over yet! Rhodeia, the next moment, connected four platforms: "Experience the feeling of your 'foothold' being 'stripped away'."
The issue with the ground was minor; even if all of it was stripped away, it wouldn't affect him, as his Baron Bunny could pass through unhindered!
While his summoned creatures had just died, this period offered a revenge buff. He could only focus on dealing as much DMG as possible, and then deal with Rhodeia's inhuman, cheating behavior later.
Rhodeia then submerged another platform, realizing it seemed useless against the person in front of her.
So she lifted the control, and all platforms returned to the water's surface. Then, she used all her strength to summon, even relying on the water source to continuously replenish her lost energy.
Spin, spin, spin, create, create, create! This was Alex's only attack method at the moment, followed by the heavy armor bunny puppet's weak DMG.
Five minutes, ten minutes, he even fought for half an hour without realizing it.
"#" Alex got angry directly; there were too many Hydro Mimic monsters, he couldn't finish them all!
Someone come and stop this, someone's hacking!
Alex glared at Rhodeia with fury, why was it so hard for him to just farm materials!
Well, why was this person looking at her like that? He was the one who trespassed into her territory without stating his intentions, and then immediately provoked her.
She would show him a lesson, make him retreat in the face of difficulty! Don't come again... "Alright, alright!" Enraged, Alex instead calmed down. Since you're not following the game's procedure, don't blame me for not being human either.
As he spoke, Alex directly ignored her summoned creatures' attacks. The Baron Bunny drifted, its front aimed at Rhodeia.
"Baron Bunny, accelerate and charge!" Alex twisted the throttle, not going too fast, as an extreme collision might injure her.
He might even charge to his death against Rhodeia.
Just enough to teach her a lesson, that's enough!
Then, Alex, driving at over 200 speed, crashed into the unprepared Rhodeia, who hadn't even expected to be attacked.
"Poof~~~" "Poof!" "Poof..." All the small Hydro Mimic animals on the platforms instantly burst open, re-materializing into water and returning to the pool.
And Rhodeia, the Oceanid Summoner, lay somewhat weakly on the water's surface.
It was fortunate that where there was water, it was her home ground, almost invincible!
Otherwise, with that last crash from him, she would have long since returned to the water and re-formed.
"You, what exactly is your intention?" Lying on the water's surface, the defeated Rhodeia of Loch blinked her single, bright white oval eye.
At this moment, Rhodeia's appearance also seemed pitiful.
Rhodeia looked pitiful on the outside now, but inside, she had noted down the person in front of her.
Damn it, although she wasn't that strong, among the Oceanid's combat power, taking second place wasn't an exaggeration, right?
This person had no martial ethics, he ambushed her!
A righteous duelist, Rhodeia of Loch, thought so.
Alex put away his Baron Bunny, and then his Combat Skill surprisingly turned into a round, rolling Hydro Slime again.
Then Alex sat directly on it: "I, want your... product."
He deliberately paused, he really wanted it! He had one contract slot, after all.
"Ah!!!" As expected, Rhodeia of Loch in front of him let out a delicate cry.
Whether he paused the sentence or not, it was still very ambiguous, wasn't it? In summary, this person wanted to obtain her?
So, Rhodeia began to seriously observe the person in front of her. And indeed, this human's appearance was quite outstanding.
Then she looked again, and this look made Rhodeia exclaim in surprise, while her mood index plummeted.
Who was this? Not a familiar face, but his body was full of a familiar aura.
Recalling carefully, that aura, wasn't it the new Hydro Archon, what was his name again?
Oh, she remembered, that Oceanid named Focalors.
Rhodeia of Loch turned her head away: "Hmph, so you're his person! You still found this place, didn't you? I've already defected from Fontaine, and it's impossible for me to go back."
"Ah, that..." Alex felt that Rhodeia had misunderstood something about him, and even more seriously, her relationship with the current Hydro Archon seemed very bad.
Recalling this relationship, Alex vaguely remembered it being mentioned in a very old version, that she was a familiar of the first Hydro Archon, Egeria. Later, the Hydro Archon changed, which was Focalors.
Many Oceanids, yearning for the first Hydro Archon, fled Fontaine, and Rhodeia was one of them.
"Even if I'm killed by you, die in the Sumeru desert, or jump into the Natlan volcanic magma, I will not go back with you and become a familiar of the new Hydro Archon!" Rhodeia, at this moment, folded her wings in front of her body, like a human sulking with arms crossed.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Alex covered his mouth with one hand, noting her resolute tone and phrasing.
Alex decided, he had to get this Rhodeia, no matter how long it took!
If she didn't like him as a master, having her sign a contract with Furina would be great too!
After all, what's his is Furina's, and Furina is... his!
And Furina had it so tough; letting her witness Focalors and Furina finally saving all of Fontaine... perhaps she could understand this new Hydro Archon more and resolve the misunderstanding.
Rhodeia had already triggered the law, how could he not let her achieve it... So good!
