Waking Up Shocked

Han Sen knew that he had shot himself in the foot. That King guard was aligned with the element of water, but that didn't imply affiliation with cold and yin force powers.

The fire element was known to restrict the water element, but under the right conditions, they could actually make each other more dangerous.

Like a steam machine: with the aid of fire, water could be turned into high-pressure steam. Then it could apply a force of pressure. The guard attacking Han Sen obviously had that skill and power. The lava sea's temperature increased the power of the water AoE, making Han Sen's situation all the direr.

The water around Han Sen heated up and turned into high-pressure steam, restricting Han Sen's body all the more. And the heat was growing unbearable. It was like he had been thrown into a super high-pressure cauldron.

If Han Sen hadn't been running his powerful Jadeskin geno art, he would have been easily cooked by the King's area-of-effect.
