At the same time, the Thousand-Faced Beast controlled the Giant Soul Whale, summoning one high-pressure water column after another throughout the surrounding waters.
Every Soul Beast that failed to dodge in time was pierced through by the water columns and killed instantly.
Bell, meanwhile, relied on his nimble movements to continuously evade the water columns, narrowly avoiding them each time.
Then, he suddenly removed the top hat from his head and summoned a gigantic paper crane wreathed in flames, sending it charging toward the Giant Soul Whale's forehead.

The flaming paper crane crashed down with a deafening boom. The dark-red tentacles merely swayed from the blast before continuing their assault on Bell.
"Damn it, has this thing been parasitized by the Thousand-Faced Beast?!"
"My flames are completely useless against them. In that case, let's try this."

Long Yao, beside him, looked puzzled, not understanding exactly what Tang Lan meant.
