A giant skull shaped purple aura blasted from Ed's sword. It was widening its jaw and approaching the puppet at high speed, a menacing laughter following it.
The skull was trailed by a dark purple mist that had smaller skulls appearing in it like glitter. They would come from the skull and vanish after two seconds, endlessly pouring until the attack hit the puppet.
It created a giant mushroom cloud with a strong force, capable of uprooting the dead trees nearby. Ed knew that Connor couldn't deal effective damage against the earth puppet. It was made mainly of soil, an affinity that overpowers his flames.
"Did we get it?" Connor asked, hovering closer to Ed. "The beetle didn't seem to talk this time. What can that mean?"
"It sacrificed some of its abilities to enhance its power," Ed said. "At least, that's what I think it's doing. This puppet is way more powerful than the last one. Maybe the Earth Master did that. But I don't know."
