The water droplets were like moths flying into a flame, striking the shockwave before being cleaved in two, turning back into ordinary water and falling to the ground.
This time, although the sword energy barely paused and suffered almost no significant energy loss, its momentum had clearly been weakened slightly.
Whoosh!
As the sword energy continued to slice through them, a droplet fell, shot forward, and struck the sword energy!
The result was the same, yet also different. The moth-like droplets continued to "fire" from the Water Curtain, attacking the radiant shockwave.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The density and speed of the droplets' attacks gradually increased, until they were like a machine gun, flashing with blue light as they hammered at the sword energy.
The silent night...
At first, the shockwave had sliced through the droplets as easily as cutting paper. But as their density and speed increased, the shockwave finally began to falter. It was like trying to cut through a river—though it could still cut, it truly could not advance another step.
But as long as the water kept flowing, even if one used a sword to cut it apart!
The current situation was that the radiant shockwave could not even hold out for ten breaths under the barrage projected by the droplets before losing power and shattering.
The shockwave in Mirai's hand vanished, but the droplets' assault did not. They continued surging forward.
And ahead of them, naturally, was Mirai, whom they attacked with sword energy!
"Damn it!"
Mirai cursed inwardly, but he did not dare dwell on it. With a firm yet gentle force, he shook free of the earlier attack and blocked the water's assault.
After all, although the droplets' attacks were not especially powerful, and hitting Mirai's body—which was immune to most gentle attacks—would at
