Ordinary Superpower Users would be instantly killed by a Shadow Demon, without even having a chance to react.
Therefore, when Sona controlled the water flow to attack Helmer, Helmer transformed into a shadow circling around at incredible speeds, almost unaffected by the resistance of seawater.
This is another characteristic of Shadow Demons; due to the unique body structure of Shadow Demons, composed of both material and energy structures.
This makes their body mass very low, reducing resistance caused by air and seawater alike.
However, this Great Demon of the Shadow Race, Helmer, clearly has other abilities to reduce medium resistance, making him astonishingly fast when flying through the seawater.
There was no way for Sona's controlled water flow to catch up with Helmer's speed.
If it were on land, Lu Heng might be able to compare speeds with him, but in the seawater, it's completely impossible.
