Speaking of mischief, Igor imdiately thought of Kadi. From his interactions with Kadi, it was clear that Kadi was the best suited for causing trouble.
Unfortunately, Kadi couldn't enter the Inner World and couldn't join him here to cause a ruckus. It was a regret for Kadi and a loss for Igor. Igor couldn't help but feel it was a pity.
If Kadi were here, he might really cause a stir, Igor found himself thinking. But now was not the ti to dwell on such things, as ti was pressing. If he didn't seize this opportunity, while the invader was confused, to add to the chaos, who knew what the invader would try next? They had already experienced the invader's strength and knew they couldn't afford to underestimate it.
Thankfully, Igor was a cautious person. If Kadi were here at this mont... Igor's thoughts drifted back to Kadi again. He couldn't help but feel that Kadi would also play a significant part here.
Kadi sneezed for no apparent reason, unaware that Igor was thinking about him at this ti.
"Sol, up ahead is the vast ocean! Through this opening, we can experience its grandeur!" Igor exclaid.
"It's a pity it's dark, pitch-black without a trace of vitality. It's rather discomforting," Stan Sol said. He really didn't want to re-experience the oppressive, helpless, and frustrating feeling of being in that dark ocean; it was truly hard to bear.
"I've always wondered why his ocean can't reach here," Igor mused. "Look, it's simply separated by an opening."
"It appears this ocean is parallel to us," Stan Sol explained. "His realm is the ocean, while ours is the mountains. The sea and mountains et here. We happen to be on the mountain, and looking through this cave opening, we can see the direction of the ocean's currents."
Stan Sol's explanation gave Igor a vivid understanding of their current situation. If the ocean waves were to reach their mountain, various outcos were possible. What they needed to do now was to keep the mountain as far away from those waves as possible.
"Watching the waves splashing everywhere, I guess the Great ntor's plan succeeded. Now he doesn't know where to direct the waves!" Igor said.
"Indeed," Stan Sol agreed. "The chaotic waves are in constant turmoil, looking like an old man at his wit's end, not knowing which way to turn."
"Shouldn't we do sothing?" Igor asked, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"Perhaps I can try to lead him in that direction?" Stan Sol suggested.
"How do you plan to do that?" Igor asked, genuinely curious about Stan Sol's actions, as he didn't have any good ideas himself. His own were too primitive, lacking novelty.
"We just need to get his attention," Stan Sol said simply, simultaneously conjuring seabirds that began to swoop relentlessly over the ocean.
"Great idea!" Igor exclaid in admiration as he saw the flocks of seabirds.
When they were in that ocean before, they had transford into fish to blend in with the dark sea. And seabirds—aren't they natural predators of fish?
Stan Sol used his Spirit Power to control these conjured seabirds, continually having them sweep over the ocean. Whenever they spotted fish in the water, his seabirds would dive swiftly to catch them.
The waves were relentless, sweeping so seabirds into the ocean, yet others managed to bring back a fish or two.
The frenzied waves continuously surged, then crashed down with a BOOM. So seabirds scattered in all directions, but no matter where they fled, a wave would pursue them until it smashed the fleeing bird into the sea.
Igor watched this spectacle with frustration. The power of these waves was imnse and constantly changing. But what was even more terrifying was that the source of these waves seed inexhaustible...
The fish caught by the seabirds were also swept back into the sea, essentially returning to whence they ca.
"My turn!" After Stan Sol paused, Igor stepped forward. Their purpose was to interfere with the invader, so they weren't overly concerned with the imdiate outco.
It was still uncertain who the victor of this initial confrontation would be, so it was best to remain cautious. Both Igor and Stan Sol were sensible individuals and wouldn't make such a rudintary mistake.
"As long as we can divert the flow of his ocean, we can buy more ti for the Great ntor and the others!" Stan Sol pointed out the areas Igor needed to focus on.
Their goal was to fray the invader's nerves. They intended to fully exploit the invader's irritation, pushing him towards utter exasperation.
Judging by the increasing splash and turbulence of the currents, the invader was growing a little impatient.
"That's brilliant, Sol! You've really pinpointed another of his concerns," Igor exclaid, having deduced the main reason for the invader's anxiety. "Those fish are likely his captives, or sothing similar. Whatever they are, they must have transford to appease the invader."
He's the controller; he should have the ability to manage everything. So, when things he has subdued try to escape again, it truly would agitate the captor, Igor explained to himself.
This explanation was quite reasonable and vivid; to a certain extent, it seed to be exactly the case.
It was like you had adopted a pack of unruly wolves and managed to ta them. Then, suddenly, a couple of outside wolves appeared and lured your tad ones away. Wouldn't you feel heartbroken at that mont?
And if you were already troubled at that mont, wouldn't this make you even more so?
If that was the case, then Igor and Stan Sol had taken a small step toward success.
Igor and Stan Sol continuously used the seabirds to try and catch the fish, but the birds were constantly knocked back into the water. Their conjured birds were no match for these waves.
Perhaps it was a stark difference in power. To land a blow on the opponent, they'd need to emulate Yake Chiang, who relied on technique, and devise a clever strategy themselves.
Igor and Stan Sol were keenly aware that an opponent who could conjure such a vast ocean was not to be underestimated. They had barely held on until now. This was firstly because the invader hadn't fully discovered their primary location, and secondly, because the invader was currently being misled by them, leading to a serious misunderstanding of the Great ntor's exact position. This impatience was also clouding the invader's judgnt.
However, Igor and Stan Sol couldn't afford to let their guard down. At the sa ti, they found no room for ease as the waves surged higher and higher, while their conjured seabirds grew smaller and smaller...
