Chapter 766: 'Wind'
Chapter 766: 'Wind'
The rain intensified, and Lindsey's heart grew colder.
In the midst of the storm, his chances of fishing out the box increased significantly, and he even caught a rare fish that could enhance the Will attribute. He prepared a delicacy from it, boosting his Will attribute by 5 points.
But none of this could bring back what was lost.
Every time Lindsey raised his fishing rod, he couldn't help but glance at the eastern sky.
The distance was just too far.
He couldn't even sense the Essence of the Feathered Serpent anymore; everything felt like a mere illusion.
"Sigh..."
Lindsey heaved a sigh and opened his quest list again.
The words 'Storm God Annihilation Quest' still glowed on the list.
This was good news.
The quest icon hadn't dimmed, indicating that the Feathered Serpent hadn't been killed by anyone else and was still waiting for his challenge in the distance.
"The future looks promising."
Lindsey's melancholy infected the blind girl beside him.
"Lord Lindsey, are you feeling so down?" she asked.
"We avoided a dangerous battle by the strong enemy leaving..."
"It's just that if I could eliminate it, I'd gain numerous benefits," Lindsey explained with a crooked smile. "Even when it comes to restoring the spatial distortion in the Central World, I'd have a better chance of success!"
"Oh dear," Arona exclaimed.
Alice suddenly realized what was going on.
Alice: [Wait! Lindsey, you've encountered a monster that's called a deity?! Those things were slaughtered during the Heroic Era, let alone in the vicinity of the City of Law. This is impossible!]
Lindsey: [Well... it's a bit complicated.]
Alice: [Never mind, I understand. It's just your Skills playing tricks on you again. Gamers, sheesh...]
Alice: [Anyway, if you ever come across such a creature, be extremely cautious. Aside from their nature as Seventh Stage Beasts, they sometimes carry the power of their followers, making them far more dangerous than ordinary monsters.]
Alice: [By the way, monsters that are revered as 'gods' are usually not weak either. What level was the one you encountered?]
Lindsey: [Seventh Stage.]
Alice: [A divine beast that disappeared into ancient history, and it’s even at the Seventh Stage. You really can dig up anything, Lindsey!]
Lindsey: [Thank you for the compliment.]
Alice: [You’re welcome!]
After finishing his communication with Alice, the storm around Lindsey gradually weakened.
Lindsey felt it was about time.
He reeled in his fishing rod, dismantled the tent, and then began to break down the cloud island beneath his feet.
This action naturally piqued Arona’s curiosity:
“Lord Lindsey, what are you doing now?”
Lindsey replied calmly:
“I plan to dismantle the cloud layer here.”
Arona was completely baffled:
“Cloud layer? Dismantle?”
Lindsey casually came up with a reason:
“It’s also for the safety of others.”
“Imagine if an Awakened suddenly flew in the sky and accidentally bumped into this place, getting knocked out and falling. They would be directly swallowed by the void of the world.”
“By dismantling the cloud island now, I’m helping to clear the way for them in advance.”
“…” Arona chose to remain silent.
On the other side, Lindsey worked swiftly.
The [Builder's Hand] operated quickly, dismantling two-thirds of the cloud island in just a few minutes.
At this moment, Lindsey’s movements suddenly stopped.
Almost simultaneously, Arona turned and looked toward the distant sky:
“Lord Lindsey, something is coming!”
Both of them looked in the distance.
The area where the clouds met the sky was dark, with only occasional lightning arcs illuminating the air.
But under the eyes of the Awakened,
Lindsey and Arona both sensed a new source of Essence energy.
Before long, in the gloomy clouds, some twisted gases seemed to appear.
Lindsey activated his reconnaissance skill and saw these twisted areas light up with white radiance, moving closer.
“This is….”
Just as Lindsey had a thought, the native Arona reacted:
“Elemental Beings! Lord Lindsey, they’re Elemental Beings!”
Just as they saw,
Above the clouds, several Wind Attribute Elemental Beings were approaching their location!
“…”
Lindsey hadn’t received overly professional mathematical training.
But at that moment, three perfect equations popped into his mind.
[Elemental Being = Elemental Crystal]
[Wind Elemental = Wind Elemental Crystal]
[Wind Elemental Crystal = Magic Rune]
Lindsey almost instinctively reached for his bow and arrow from his backpack.
But as an excellent adventurer, the patience he had developed from fishing reminded him to think calmly and not be clouded by momentary desire.
So Lindsey opened the map and took a look.
“…”
“Ah, what a pity.”
The Wind Attribute Elemental Beings floating toward the cloud island were marked with a yellow symbol of neutrality on the map, unlike the vicious and dangerous Feathered Serpents.
Lindsey made further deductions.
The elemental beings that originally inhabited this area must have left due to the influence of the battlefield. Now, these elemental beings appearing from afar and heading here could only have one reason.
They had detected the Feathered Serpent that had recently passed through the sky.
Knowing something, they came to investigate the place where this terrifying creature appeared!
