Could it still be that through cutting through its skin with the most weapons that you "force" water into its body and bloodstream? I mean, when you hit a monster, there is usually a bigger or smaller fountain of blood coming out, suggesting you penetrate its flesh so much that it bleeds. Together with that most elemental weapons release their element on every hit, couldn't it be possible? But yeah, the breathing through its skin thing is most likely more the case.
