The blue-ranked recruit didn't waste any time, sending a torrent of water towards the trio. Kai met the attack with a fiery shield, the water hissing and evaporating upon contact. The air grew thick with steam as the recruit's water skill collided with Kai's flames.
Ingrid took the opportunity to unleash a barrage of sonic waves, aiming for the water node bearer's ears. The sound was deafening, and the recruit staggered, his concentration momentarily broken. Frode, seeing his opening, sent a series of illusionary clones rushing towards the enemy, confusing him further.
The water node bearer roared in frustration and sent a geyser of water shooting skyward, the pressure so intense it sent the ground beneath them cracking. Frode's clones scattered, and Ingrid had to dodge the spray of shrapnel that resulted from the collision of water and stone.
