The first ball of pure water reaches Rihalzam’s slime body.
I cut off the flow of magic elements that kept the water one hundred percent pure.
It returns to our world’s laws of physics and under the control of entropy. The logic of this world is enforced on it.
The entropy of the perfectly pure water was as low as can be. The world looks for balance, and the pure water finds a balance of entropy by eroding whatever is closest to it.
Rihalzam’s slime body is gradually shaved away, and shows signs of inflammation as liquid runs down from it.
A foul smell fills the air, and poisonous looking puddles start to form on the ground. I can see them foaming, and I think it’s safe to assume I shouldn’t touch them.
If I keep scraping him with perfectly pure water, that dirty water won’t eventually reach me, right?
I observe Rihalzam carefully to see how he’ll deal with this, but something is weird.
He was laughing loudly while ranting something I didn’t understand, but now he’s suddenly quiet.
No, he’s muttering something, and his voice is getting progressively louder.
“Smell? Bad smell? I don’t smell bad! I don’t! A master rank alchemist, like me, doesn’t smell. It’s all his fault. Ru, st. All his fault. Don’t smell! Don’t, smell! I, don’t, smell!”
He keeps ranting about how he doesn’t smell, like he’s traumatized.
I tilt my head in confusion, but figure this is a great opportunity to send more balls of perfectly pure water.
Rihalzam’s whole body looks inflamed as it keeps being scraped, and the smell is getting even worse. The dirty water under him keeps spreading too.
His whole body is being whittled away, but he doesn’t seem to care. In fact, he creates noses with mushrooms inside his body. Noses that look like Rihalzam’s nose. They create bodies with slime, and detach from the main body.
But wait, that’s a bad move on his part. He’s making things easier for me. Is his power of reasoning and decision making just completely gone?
The bodies with only noses attacked don’t seem like they’re coming to attack either. They just run around and look like they’re smelling things.
“See see see!? I’ don’t smell! Nothing smells! Nothing! I knew it! I don’t smell! Fugu! Gufuafoh! Gufuafua!”
Rihalzam lets out a loud, satisfied laughter, and at this point I’ve fired almost every water ball from this pot.
Rihalzam’s body is now about the size it was when he was human. It was pretty much just slime when he was giant, but after so much slime has been scraped off, it resembles more or less the shape of a human.
“Master Rust! I see it! The magic stone is in his right thigh!”
