The destruction of Wilhelm Liqua took place over three separate stages.
The first stage was physical. His body was beaten and bruised by the fists of another until even his mind could no longer function properly.
The second stage was energy. August took Wilhelm into the seas and used their sheer power to once again mutilate the body of his enemy.
All of the surrounding water was under his control. Even if Wilhelm was able to find the mind to counterattack, he would not be able to wrestle control away from August.
This was an environment filled with his element. However, it was an environment where he had no access to mana whatsoever.
In this place, water invaded his veins and polluted his blood. It went up his nostrils and into his brain, turning into multiple tiny blades that cut into the fleshy interior of that organ, slowly taking away its ability to function.
