Chapter 231: The Test of the Prism
"You?!!"Sunny exploded from the water, his frustration a blinding rage. He didn’t think; he just acted, channeling raw power into a brilliant, crackling bolt of lightning aimed squarely at Elemental Prism.
BAM!
The bolt froze in the air, a pathetic meter from her smiling face. Then, to Sunny’s utter shock, it didn’t just dissipate—it shattered like crystalline light, vanishing without a trace.
"How funny," she chirped, the smile never faltering. "I am made up of eight elements, all of which bend to my will. Did you truly believe a simple lightning attack would work on me?"
She idly flicked her wrist, and dozens of razor-sharp water spikes shot from the churning sea toward him.
"You?!" Sunny yelled, his shock quickly morphing into grim determination. He erected a shimmering barrier of concentrated Spirit Energy, deflecting the spikes with a grinding scrape.
"Is that all you can do?" Elemental Prism asked, her voice laced with disappointment, not malice.
"You want to see my strength? Then I will show you!"
A primal torrent of Spirit Energy burst from Sunny, instantly shattering the remaining water spikes.
WHOOSH!
His human form dissolved into a wave of changing scales and fur. In seconds, a colossal Serpentine Hydra—a hybrid manifestation of the four Ancient Bloodlines, red, black, and gold—stood coiled above the ocean, its scales gleaming under the sun.
"Four Ancient bloodlines in one transformation. I’m guessing this is your highest strength. Right?" She asked, her light giggle grating on his nerves.
’She is... laughing? Is she looking down on me, even now?’ He didn’t bother with elements this time. He opened his massive jaws and launched a colossal beam of pure, refined Spirit Energy at her.
"Such a weak attack... Is this really your strongest?" she asked, the curiosity in her voice peaking. A circular, shimmering gateway opened just before the blast, not blocking it, but absorbing it completely.
".....?!!"
Sunny frowned, feeling a profound, terrifying drain as his concentrated energy vanished. He immediately cut the connection, the serpentine glow dimming slightly.
"Your spirit energy just gave the World of Light more vitality," Elemental Prism murmured, a pleased, subtle energy signature radiating from her.
"World of Light?" Sunny was stunned. He was fighting a war against an opponent he can’t even comprehend.
’Is there a way to defeat such an opponent?’ He muttered to himself, the huge serpent form floating heavily in the air. His reliance on the System for quick answers was a dead-end here.
"You are completely clueless..." Elemental Prism shook her head, a clear expression of disappointment marring her features.
"You can’t glean any information about me with that system of yours," she stated, confirming his fear.
"You should stop relying on it for enemies’ weaknesses. You must locate a weakness and use it against your opponent."
’Weakness.’
The word snapped him out of his panic. He forced his massive serpentine head to focus on the small girl, a furrow forming between his large, golden eyes.
’She controls the elements, but her physical profile is low... ten million is nothing to a God Rank. She relies entirely on her elemental control for defense. The physical body itself must be her weak point.’ He nodded in sudden realization, abandoning the thought of elemental or magic-based attacks.
He started growing, increasing the sheer physical mass of his form until he towered over the small island itself.

"Huh?" Ash scrambled to her feet, her mouth agape. She stared at the impossible, monstrous serpent that eclipsed the horizon.
"Is... is that?!" Her voice was a choked whisper.

rable defense, the helm clicking shut, concealing his expression.
He stared at the dragon’s stats and nodded; Sunny strategy would rely on his massive Stamina and Defense, waiting for a chance to break the Elemental Dragon’s cohesion.
"I won’t lose." The declaration was silent, a sacred vow to Eldoria, to his family, and to himself.
