[Alhaitham had kind of assumed that the keyblade was a conduit for his magic, but in retrospect it probably should've been obvious that isn't the case seeing as he could use multiple elements with little issue. It's certainly something to think about, on how people from various other worlds are capable of a feat that should be impossible in Teyvat...
But that's something to dwell upon later, when he's not smack in the middle of a fight. Xehanort's electro spell strikes true, and Alhaitham can see the twitches happening even as the beat remains cloaked in shadow, green sparks fliting across its form as the electricity from Xehanort's spell reacts with the Dendro it'd already been affected with from Alhaitham's initial strike.]
Yeah. [He simply says as Xehanort comes to his side, quickly cutting him off before he can start explaining what happened; no point dwelling on such things right now when they have the monster right before them. Doubly so when everything that Alhaitham has seen thus far points to one particular thing.] It was most likely a deliberate move to lure us over. Whatever method that was used to create this beast must have nurtured some form of intelligence in it at the same time.
[The ball made of sand and sap, the bent tree, the dead gulls... as far as he can tell, such things all point to some level of basic intelligence rather than some mindless, hulking beast that's gone wild. Hard to say if that's better or worse for them, however, though it doesn't change what they have to do—putting it down before it can go elsewhere to cause even more damage.
With that in mind, Alhaitham doesn't let himself waste any more time; he summons out his actual sword this time and activates his flicker, teleporting ahead and landing a strike with his now Dendro-infused blade which in turn causes another swarm of energy roiling through. The result is a loud trashing roar as the beast flails, trying to shake off the hurt but to no avail, since most of it is all internal.]
