Chapter 170
Flowua, upon learning of this, wanted to oppose the water resistance. In her mind, she is the daughter of the sea, so being obstructed while in the sea is a sign of disrespect to her. That was her subconscious response, to which the elements responded, and so she broke through to the demigod stage.
In this stage, Flowua can proudly state that no one is faster than her when in a body of water. Gaining control of fluid friction gave Flowua the ability to ignore the opposition from the water when she was moving, meaning she could push her speed further with no limit in water. All that limits her is the amount her own body could take.
Unlike other demigods with a field limit, as long as there is water around Flowua, her abilities can exert their effect. Going fast in a body of water wasn’t the only thing this stage granted her; she was able to affect the fluid friction of others who are in a body of water.
The ability shows itself in a scene where something moving towards her comes to a near complete stop, and the more you try to fight the force holding you back, the stronger the opposition. Another part of this ability is how it affects the viscosity of water. This part is a bit more complicated that Flowua herself can’t even explain, but she understands it as how the nature of fluid changes when it opposes an object.
This part allows her to change the nature of water, making it become thick like honey or even making water feel like slime, which was how she was able to get her hand free as the water surrounding her fist was turned to slime, making it harder for the mouth to swallow.
After Flowua sent the demon flying away, she looked at the harpoon in her hand, her eyes flashed like she was in deep thought before throwing the harpoon away.
The demon, flying away, solidified the water around it, using it as a foothold to catch itself. Looking at Flowua a bit far away from him, the demon’s body began liquefying into a dark-colored slimy substance and took hold of the surrounding water around them.
The area Flowua was in wasn’t spared, as she soon found her eyesight limited, being surrounded by the dark water. Soon she heard the demon’s voice, "It’s too bad you don’t want to talk, your highness. I know your ability can’t work if there is no water around."
Flowua frowned upon hearing that; her sight had adjusted to the low visibility by now, and she could feel the water surrounding her being drained away. Next thing she knew, her feet touched solid ground, but unlike the normal solid feeling of a wet floor, this one was freezing to the bone.
