“It’s… it’s charging at us!” Dangros was filled with terror while exclaiming as it hastily leaping behind Angel for cover.
“Be cautious!” Jack shouted, as his slender bean vines rapidly elongated, encircling everyone on board, including Arnoldo and the other elemental sprites, shielding them with his own body as a protective barrier.
The tornado approached rapidly, its massive suction making it difficult for the Gondola to retreat. Fear was evident in the eyes of all elemental creatures on board, even Arnoldo, a wind sprite, trembled before the terrifying tornado.
Just as everyone felt the powerful drag of the tornado about to engulf the Gondola, a sharp cry pierced through the howling winds.
Dangros looked up, puzzled, to see Toby, who had been perched on Angel’s shoulder, suddenly flying out towards the tornado. As Toby passed through the wind barrier and exposed himself to the storm, he let out a cry towards the heavens and transformed into a massive fire griffin. With flaming wings beating, he surged towards the tornado, his fiery and gravity power combined into a piercing arrow through the clouds, directly boring a fiery hole through the center of the terrifying tornado.
As Toby passed through, the light of the fire illuminated the world, dispersing the clouds and turning night into day. The once rapidly spinning tornado began to slow, with the punctured hole causing numerous cracks to spread, dissipating the surrounding storm.
In mere seconds, the terrifying tornado, which Dangros thought could tear it apart countless times, completely dispersed with just one strike.
The fear in Dangros’ eyes vanished, replaced by ecstasy and admiration, “This is the strength of our ancestral lineage!” Dangros thought, imagining itself one day possessing such power, its mind wandering with aspirations.
While Dangros dreamed, Jack, the bean vine, also showed joy, though with a hint of confusion. The form Toby had taken seemed familiar, reminiscent of something the sage had mentioned before.
As Jack tried to recall, the mountainous shadow opposite them also expressed surprise at Toby’s form, though Toby did not allow any time for reminiscences. Breaking free from the tornado, it once again wrapped itself in flames and mist.
The shadow, always vigilant of Toby’s movements, saw its aura intensify again and prepared defensively, sensing the surrounding winds to predict Toby’s actions. Unexpectedly, Toby vanished without a trace, leaving no hint of his direction in the wind or sight, baffling the shadow.
As it wondered, the winds around it began to stir more violently.
It suddenly lowered its head, and a blazing flame had already appeared in front of it.
“How is this possible, how did you appear here?” the shadow spoke for the first time, its tone filled with disbelief. It felt nothing, not even the air stirred, how did it move?
Toby did not respond to its words. His wings, like blades of flowing fire, transformed into a spiral and charged directly into the shadow’s body.
The speed was still too fast to catch, the shadow had no time to react before its body was torn open by a hole.
However, this hole was not like the previous tornado-like wound that could not heal; the shadow’s body began to absorb a large amount of wind elements around it, quickly starting to recover, and in an instant, it healed completely.
Toby was also stunned, not understanding what had happened.
The shadow did not explain, but since a conflict had been initiated, it naturally went all out.
The wind of the shadow and Toby’s fire quickly began to clash.
As they fought, the crowd on the Gondola finally saw the true face of that shadow.
It was a tornado very similar in appearance to Arnoldo, also shaped like an inverted triangle with a “big head, thin body, and slender legs.” However, this tornado was countless times larger than Arnoldo, like a real mountain. Arnoldo, in front of this Big Tornado, was comparable to an ant or dust.
Although it resembled Arnoldo in appearance, the color of this Big Tornado was completely different from Arnoldo’s.
Arnoldo was overall a light cyan, while the Big Tornado was entirely dark.
Although wind is inherently formless and colorless, creatures of the wind element are different from pure wind. The color of wind elemental creatures, to some extent, also reflects some unique properties, internal attributes, and structure of the wind element.
Arnoldo is closer to pure wind, while this Big Tornado might lean more towards the turbulent nature, like a furious wind.
In just a few seconds, the clash between Toby and the Big Tornado reached dozens of times. So far, even though Toby was much smaller than the Big Tornado, its momentum was overwhelming, pressing down on the Big Tornado. However, the Big Tornado, despite creature repeatedly torn with holes, healed quickly every time.
Seeing this, Jack couldn’t help saying, “That… flame…”
“Do not be disrespectful, that is Lord Toby!” Dangros said displeased.
Jack: “I just wanted to ask, can Lord Toby defeat that Big Tornado? It looks like the Big Tornado is always unharmed.”
Dangros was very confident: “Definitely, Lord Toby is the same lineage as my ancestor, unbeatable.”
Angel, although he also thought Toby could win, considered the claim of creature unbeatable as unnecessary.
Jack also realized that Dangros was just blindly praising, and he turned the Magic Vine towards Angel, hoping to get an answer from him. However, Angel did not say much, only suggesting Jack to keep watching.
Jack calmed down and continued to watch the distant battle, feeling more and more that although Toby’s strength was undoubtedly powerful, if the situation of the Big Tornado continuously healing was not broken, it would be very difficult to win.
Angel saw the situation on the battlefield very clearly. Although he did not join the fight, he had a more comprehensive and clear grasp of the situation than Toby. The current situation was mainly because the opponent was a wind elemental creature, capable of completely transforming into wind. When it became wind, physical damage was basically of no value, and the battle could only rely on the clash of elemental energy.
In the elemental confrontation, a stronger energy level could quickly destroy the opponent’s energy balance, achieving a critical victory.
Although Toby possessed the ability of fire, his flames were not pure, and his energy level was probably similar to that of the Big Tornado, making it difficult to quickly break the energy balance. Moreover, the Big Tornado was currently in this sea of wild winds, with an abundant supply of wind power. Even if a portion of its internal power was scorched, it could quickly replenish, hence the saying, “One can never defeat the wind within wind,” revealing the truth behind its body healing time and again.
Although the Big Tornado seemed to have ample advantages, Angel still believed that it wouldn’t be difficult for Toby to achieve victory. Even if Toby hadn’t discovered the truth behind the Big Tornado’s healing, he could rely on his own strength to thoroughly defeat the Big Tornado.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that Toby’s strength wasn’t solely based on fire.
Many who first saw Toby in his griffin form would mistakenly refer to him as the “Flame Griffin,” but this was incorrect. For Toby, the power of flame was the least significant; his griffin form’s true name was the Griffin of Fury.
It was the erosion of emotions that was Toby’s powerful method.
For instance, although the Big Tornado seemed to heal time and again, its behavior became increasingly irritable, and its combat thinking more and more mindless.
It’s important to note that Toby was not an elemental creature; he had a real flesh and blood body. Despite the Big Tornado’s long assault, which had pierced its body with countless holes, Toby remained unscathed, not even losing a single feather.
This clearly indicated that Toby’s strength was superior to the Big Tornado’s, but not to the extent of complete domination. The situation had developed as it did because the Big Tornado was infected by the rage dispersed within the flames.
When rationality began to wane and anger took the driver’s seat, an initial burst of power might occur, but once this explosive phase was endured, one would become vulnerable to the opponent.
Clearly, the Big Tornado had entered the stage where it was at Toby’s mercy.
Although Toby had not yet found a way to deal with the Big Tornado’s frenzied healing, Angel believed that Toby would soon find a countermeasure.
After battling the Big Tornado for several minutes,
Toby noticed that its continuous healing meant that previous tactics were ineffective. Upon closer observation, he sensed the flow of wind.
Whenever the Big Tornado created a hole, the surrounding wind would quickly gather to fill it.
Toby was not foolish; upon realizing the truth, he immediately changed his approach.
This time, Toby didn’t recklessly unleash the power of flame but flapped his wings, and in his energy vision, a dense gray fog began to envelop the surroundings.
When the gray fog formed a circle, completely enclosing the Big Tornado, Toby let out a loud cry.
Centered on the Big Tornado, an empty and silent domain was instantly formed.
At this point, the Big Tornado was still in its explosive phase, unaware of its surroundings, feeling only a heaviness and a rapid loss of energy. It sought the wind’s power from the outside world as usual, but… this time it failed.
The surrounding wind power seemed to have vanished entirely.
Unable to replenish its strength from the outside, the Big Tornado’s own energy began to deplete rapidly. As layers of wind power were dispelled, its seemingly thick exterior finally showed frail cracks.
A blue light appeared at its brow center.
This was… the elemental core!
Toby’s eyes lit up; his continuous attacks were aimed at finding the Big Tornado’s elemental core, and now, the elemental core was exposed!
Without hesitation, Toby opened his mouth and spat out a stream of molten fire towards the glowing elemental core.
With a crack.
The elemental core fractured, exposing the blue light, and a vast amount of wind power began to leak out.
At this moment, the Big Tornado, which had been engulfed in anger, finally gained a moment of clarity, but it was too late.
It looked at Toby resentfully and said, “The wind will carry away my memories, and I will witness your demise within Highness Harlequin’s body.”
As the sound of his voice fell, the power of wind within him quickly expanded.
Elemental self-destruction!
Toby immediately reacted, but he was not too panicked. If the opponent had exploded while still at full power, it might have shaken heaven and earth, but now that its energy was nearly depleted and a great part had leaked out, the explosion did not possess its former power.
Gray mist swirled around Toby’s feet, and with a light tap, he appeared near the Gondola.
Then, he directly used his back to press down on the Gondola and, with a flash, appeared dozens of miles away.
At the same time, the explosive power of the Big Tornado finally manifested.
Although its internal energy was not much, the self-destruction still created a significant force, directly breaking the connection between the sea of clouds and the night sky, forming a void about a kilometer wide.
However, after the violent wind passed, it had no effect on the Gondola, which was far away.
Looking at the distant devastation, Toby transformed into a small seabird, proudly standing on Angel’s shoulder, chirping a few times to declare the victory belonged to him.
“Too amazing!” Dangros excitedly tried to climb onto Angel’s shoulder, but Toby kicked him down with a claw. Dangros wasn’t annoyed and kept hopping on the table, shouting Toby’s name.
“So powerful, to win so easily…” Jack was stunned. In a world full of wind, defeating a powerful wind elemental creature, how did he do it?
And… “What was that strange barrier that blocked the wind just now?”
Jack’s question was also the curiosity of the other elemental sprites. They vaguely felt a grand power, as if carrying some property of the Voice of the World, yet entirely different from the power of the Voice of the World.
Faced with Jack’s question, Toby did not hide it and chirped a few times.
However, they didn’t understand what Toby was saying. Now, without Lorca to translate, they could only look at each other.
“A power of law.” Angel spoke on behalf of Toby.
A power of law? It sounds like something very high-end… Jack wanted to ask more, but Angel changed the subject.
“Do you know who Highness Harlequin, mentioned by that Big Tornado, is?”
Angel’s gaze shifted to Jack, and seeing Jack’s clueless expression, he then turned to Arnoldo, who was imprisoned in the sand cage.
However, Arnoldo did not speak. Upon closer inspection, Arnoldo was silently crying.
After some inquiry, it was learned that Arnoldo was grieving over the death of the Big Tornado.
Arnoldo did not know the Big Tornado; his sorrow was simply from seeing a fellow creature die. However, Arnoldo was not unreasonable; he understood that if the Big Tornado had not died, they might have, so it was better for the Big Tornado to have perished.
After the grief, Arnoldo also pondered Angel’s question.
“Highness Harlequin? I have never heard of him.”
