Angel: "Just wait a little longer, and you’ll see."
Dumatin looked over with confusion. Angel’s answer wasn’t the problem; it was his tone that was strange, as if he was holding back some emotion that was about to burst forth.
Dumatin noticed that Angel wasn’t looking in his direction but was staring straight ahead, his eyes seemingly glowing.
Angel’s expression and tone were telling Dumatin that he was very excited at that moment.
Why was he excited? What was he expecting? Dumatin, who originally had doubts in his heart, was now replaced by curiosity.
The "wait" that Angel mentioned didn’t take too long.
A dozen seconds later, Dumatin witnessed an astonishing scene!
A dim blue light flashed within the dark clouds, and immediately, the already torrential rain became even more violent.
Familiar energies emerged from the dark clouds and descended from the sky.
Shock flashed in Dumatin’s eyes, and with a thought, the surrounding rainwater coalesced into a floating water snake flying around him.
"Such intense water elemental energy, just a bit of magic power from a purification spell can trigger this gathering and shaping of water elemental energy!" Dumatin exclaimed.
This level of water energy intensity was comparable to the concentration near some lakes and seas in the Mirror World.
Though it could only be compared to the lakes and seas of the Mirror World, remember, this was the Wilderness of Dreams, where achieving such a high concentration of water energy was extremely rare!
During Dumatin’s time in the Wilderness of Dreams, he only experienced similar water power at the core of the Tide Wave Garden, which showed its uniqueness.
"Why is the water power here so dense?" Dumatin was puzzled when suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. He slowly lifted his head and looked at Angel.
Since arriving in the Wilderness of Dreams, including today, he had only interacted with Angel twice.
Angel wouldn’t bring him here for no reason, and thinking back to their last meeting, Dumatin seemed to understand a bit more.
"Did you encounter a water elemental creature?"
The clamor of the rain didn’t drown out Dumatin’s voice.
Angel didn’t speak because he could tell that although Dumatin phrased it as a question, his tone was very certain.
Dumatin didn’t mind Angel’s response because the current situation already indirectly confirmed his answer—
The concentration of water elemental energy in the distance suddenly doubled, the blue light shone brightly, and finally solidified into the outline of a figure.
Initially, it was just a water shadow, but as more light bands appeared seemingly from nowhere and infused into the water shadow, its outline became increasingly real.
"Node of the Law?" Dumatin remarked, surprised, as he observed the spontaneously appearing light bands, "Why would a node of the Law appear here?"
Angel was unsure as well, but he didn’t delve into it since the water shadow nearby had fully materialized into its true form.
A cat with interwoven light and dark blue fur.
"A water elemental creature, it truly is a water elemental creature!" Dumatin murmured with a look of fascination as he observed the blue cat in the distance.
At this moment, Angel let out a long sigh of relief. He had been wondering whether a water elemental creature that entered the Wilderness of Dreams would appear with a physical body or an elemental body, and now it was confirmed to be an elemental body.
However, judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from the cat, it didn’t seem to possess its usual level of power as it did in the outside world; its strength likely exceeded that of the elf stage a bit.
This was to be expected, given that the energy level within the Wilderness of Dreams was still restricted.
After the cat appeared, it stayed still with its eyes closed. Angel sensed that the cat was absorbing the remaining node of the Law in the surroundings.
This had to be greatly beneficial for it; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so eager to absorb the node of the Law without first confirming the safety of its environment.
Angel didn’t disturb the cat; instead, he turned to look at the newcomers behind him.
—Lord Rhein and Ironclad Granny.
When the water shadow of the cat initially appeared, they had already flown over from the direction of New City. However, Angel, at that time, was too engrossed in witnessing the cat’s emergence to greet them immediately. Only now did he turn to salute.
After the salute, Angel curiously asked, "Granny and Lord Rhein, what brings you here?"
Although the dark clouds rolled in and the rain fell in torrents, it wasn’t considered extreme weather, as this was commonplace. Moreover, the water elemental energy here appeared dense but not significant enough to be sensed from New City.
Given the current energy level of the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel didn’t believe that Lord Rhein and Ironclad Granny could perceive the changes in water energy from such a distance.
Therefore, Angel was also quite curious about their appearance.
Since Rhein’s gaze remained fixed on the distant cat, Angel first turned his attention to Ironclad Granny.
Ironclad Granny smiled kindly, "I’ll let Rhein explain that question to you later."
After a pause, Ironclad Granny pointed at the distant cat, "Is that a water elemental creature?"
Angel nodded.
"The little fellow looks so charming and adorable," Ironclad Granny remarked fondly, observing the cat with evident affection. "Where did you coax it from?"
Angel: "I encountered a water elemental creature during my travels and decided to try bringing it into the Wilderness of Dreams."
A glint appeared in Ironclad Granny’s eyes, "Elemental creatures can also be brought into the Wilderness of Dreams?"
Angel: "It’s my first experiment as well, and I didn’t expect it to actually succeed."
As they chatted casually, Rhein also returned from his trance-like state of observing the cat. Having heard Angel’s explanation, he laughed, "You’re lucky to encounter a water elemental creature even halfway through."
"But come to think of it, it does make sense. You should currently be near Edge Island, an area surrounded by ocean and adjacent to the Demon Sea Area, so it’s not unusual to occasionally encounter a couple of water elemental creatures."
Rhein continued speculating to himself, and after hearing him out, Angel simply smiled without responding.
