Kisaragi's Long-Strange Collection Notes

After that one sentence, the battle began.

After only three moves, both sides realized how troublesome the other was.

Chen Meimei is mysterious and infinite, and her body is currently composed of moonlight specks.

The water arrows, water blades, and giant wave attacks from the [Water Artist] are completely ineffective against him.

The body of the [Water Shape Artist] is made of water.

Chen Meimei's Moon Silk, Moon Blade, and Moonlight Hand struck it, piercing and shattering it, but in the next instant, the water flow replenished its body.

These are two monsters that can elementalize their bodies, thus becoming completely immune to physical damage.

After the first round, neither of them lost a single hair.

The second round begins.

[Water Shape Artist] made a posing gesture similar to taking a photo, with both hands facing Chen Meimei.

The water surrounded Chen Meimei, forming a water coffin.

"I know my attacks are ineffective against you, but if I trap you, seal you at the bottom of the lake, and suppress you with immense water pressure, how long can your light-pointing form last?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Meimei responded.

His voice was muffled by the water and could not be heard, turning into a series of static.

Chen Meimei was somewhat dissatisfied with the result.

So he took two steps forward and walked directly out of the water coffin, his yellow clothes still dry.

[The Water Shape Artist] almost popped his eyes out of their sockets.

The reason it was almost there is mainly because his face was also made of water, and his eyeballs were integrated with his body, so they couldn't fall out.

After re-exposing herself to air, Chen Meimei's voice returned to normal: "Your ability is interesting, but you chose the wrong opponent."

"Really? How about this then?"

Water droplets reappeared around Chen Meimei's body, and this time, as soon as they enveloped him, they immediately turned into solid ice.

"Haha, ice is also a form of water, now you..."

Before it could finish speaking, Chen Meimei emerged from the large block of ice again.

Next, the scalding steam cage had the same effect, unable to trap Chen Meimei at all.

At this point, [The Water Shape Artist] stopped what he was doing.

"I admit, I can't do anything about you. It's your turn to attack. If you can't do anything about me either, then I'm going back into the water."

Instead of attacking immediately, Chen Meimei raised a new question.

"Your attack on me doesn't seem to be out of passivity; do you enjoy attacking others?"

[Water-shaped Artist] is actually a very proud pure elemental weirdo. At this moment, Chen Meimei has gained its recognition with her strength, and it is willing to communicate.

"It's half and half. You actually withstood my first passive attack from the beginning. I like to collect the bodies of the strong. This collecting habit has lasted for so long that I'm not sure if it's my passive or something I've always liked."

"At first, you meant the time you drew my blood, right? What happened after you collected my body?"

"Some were made into ice sculptures, some were vaporized into ash, and some were forever trapped in water and sank to the bottom."

"It seems you've killed countless people."

"No, I don't kill a single creature on average every few years. I'm only interested in the powerful. I generally don't pay much attention to ordinary people or weak mystics who come to the water's edge."

How do you define weakness?

"In the words of the seven major races, anything below [Mystic] 5 is considered weak."

Good heavens, this [Water Artist] is really arrogant. It won't even bother killing anything that isn't [Mysterious] 5 or higher.

"What's the highest rank you've ever killed?"

"In my long life, I have killed [Mystery] 6 three times, and once, I successfully escaped from [Mystery] 7."

Chen Meimei really likes this strangeness; they either completely ignore people, or they'll start chatting if they want to, unlike the mysterious ones who always like to hide things.

"Are you male or female, human-shaped?"

"I have no gender or fixed form; the shape created by the water is merely an image I arbitrarily mold."

The two had a good chat.

Suddenly, the [Water Artist]'s human form scattered into a pile of water droplets.

It reappeared, this time in the middle of the lake.

"I know I'm no match for you, so I'm leaving. You're the second [mysterious] 7 to let me escape."

Chen Meimei retracted her earlier assessment that she thought it was strange but very frank.

This [water-shaped artist] isn't acting like a person; the purpose of chatting is probably to buy time so he can use some kind of mobility ability to escape back into the lake.

The crescent moons in Chen Meimei's eyes gleamed: "You can't escape."

The moonlight shone on the lake, reflecting off its shimmering surface.

The lake's depths, which were originally connected to water sources further away, seemed to be frozen at this moment.

It's not the kind of freezing that involves ice, but a freezing that cuts off the kinetic energy of movement.

The [Water Artist] sensed this immense power and dared not surface in the lake, instead diving deeper into the water.

It disperses itself across the entire body of water, breaking itself down into smaller parts.

Chen Meimei gazed quietly at the small lake, her face expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Not bad ability, you're one with the lake, there aren't many people in this world who can handle you, but you fight against strong people every year, there will come a day like today when you kick a hornet's nest."

Chen Meimei raised her left hand and pointed to the moon in the sky.

"Since you are one with the lake, then I will destroy this lake."

"Moonlight and Tides".

As Chen Meimei's voice came out.

The moon in the sky seemed to be "looking" at this place.

The next moment, the entire lake rose with the tide.

All the lake water defied gravity, as if rain were falling against the sky from the ground.

The lake water, which should have been divided into "pieces," was transformed into scattered droplets by the irresistible force of the tides, slowly rising towards the moon in the sky.

"No!" came the [Water-shaped Artist's] pitiful cry.

It is invincible because it is integrated with the lake, but it is also vulnerable because it is integrated with the lake; if one of them is damaged, the whole lake will be damaged.

How could it have imagined that someone would dare to take action against the entire lake!

Chen Meimei squinted her eyes.

"Have a safe journey. If all goes well, you might fly all the way to Hengyue, but you'll most likely disappear along the way and become part of the world's water cycle."

"Wait, great being, can we still talk?" The entire rising lake seemed to shout loudly downwards.

A fleeting smile crossed Chen Meimei's lips.

He lowered his left hand slightly.

Countless rising water droplets stopped moving and remained still in the air, like a beaded curtain hanging between heaven and earth.

"Great being, I apologize for my rudeness just now. Please put me down so that I can pay tribute to you in a better form."

"What do you want to say?" Chen Meimei completely lowered her hand.

The water curtain, having lost its upward pull, all crashed down.

Because the water droplets scattered and did not completely fall back into the lake, the lake's water level eventually dropped to only two-thirds of its original level.

The [water-shaped artist] had no time to consider the amount of water in the lake.

As soon as it landed, it immediately transformed into a water-like human form and came to Chen Meimei.

"You are a great being I have never seen before, and I would like to exchange my treasure for forgiveness."

Chen Meimei waved her hand, directly refusing.

"I don't need your baby, because everything you have will belong to me."

[The Water Shape Artist] didn't quite understand what Chen Meimei meant.

Chen Meimei then finished speaking:

"Are you willing to follow me forever? Think it through carefully, you only have one chance to choose."
