The Weirdo Maker who appeared before us seemed to have already convinced himself of his victory.
Just like the Undying Monster and the Shadow Swapping Monster had described, amidst such a bizarre environment, facing three enemies restrained by his own hands, he carried himself with an ostentatious and composed manner, his tone affected and pompous, subtly revealing an air of arrogance.
However, this could all be an act. If anyone were fooled by such a superficial performance, mistaking him for a person with a façade of strength but weak inside, they would likely stumble in his presence. The real him, I surmised, was probably a person both calm and cautious.
It seemed he had anticipated our attack and had set an ambush for our own. On top of that, he was prepared for me. As soon as I began to gesture for Elementalization, he controlled my right hand very precisely, preventing me from igniting myself with a Fireball.
