Chapter 779: The Wind of Destruction
Chapter 779: The Wind of Destruction
In an instant, an endless tempest erupted from the core pillar, a force so powerful that even the Feathered Serpent and the Deviator, who were about to reach their target, couldn't resist, and were blown away, their bodies tumbling uncontrollably through the air.
The other Awakened ones behind them suffered the same fate.
The fierce hurricane brought with it a non-discriminatory attack, and wherever this terrifying force touched, people lost their balance and could only protect themselves, allowing themselves to be blown about.
"..."
Only one person within the Will Barrier remained unaffected.
Lindsey.
As the indiscriminate gust of wind reached Lindsey, it seemed to have gained self-awareness, swirling around him without affecting his body.
"It can bring a refreshing breeze or unleash a hurricane that destroys everything."
"As expected, it's Clearsky's backup!"
Lindsey couldn't help but feel amused.
It was fortunate that the hurricane avoided him, but those around him couldn't ignore this reality.
The Seventh Stage Awakened ones, even when assaulted by the powerful wind and losing control of their bodies, still had enough awareness to observe their surroundings.
Many of the powerful beings noticed Lindsey standing firm amidst the wind.
"Sigh..."
Lindsey sighed, his gaze fixed on the distance.
The sudden hurricane was undoubtedly Clearsky's backup.
According to the Nature Spirit herself, she was in seclusion, healing her injuries, and wouldn't leave that airspace.
Therefore, the source of this power could only be the anomaly that had once been in Clearsky's possession and later caused spatial chaos.
"..."
Lindsey's gaze quickly scanned the air.
With his enhanced perception, stacked with equipment attributes, he found the origin of it all while the other Seventh Stage Awakened ones were still being tossed about by the hurricane.
It was located at 4/5 of the height of the core pillar.
A seemingly ordinary patch of air was marked by a white light from the Scout Skill.
In fact, not only was this a clue, but all the origins of the hurricanes in the air were erupting from this very spot.
[Singularity Hurricane - The powerful Nature Spirit's Wind Seed. Depending on the target's proximity, the Singularity Hurricane exhibits vastly different powers.]
"..."
"That's the key to resolving the spatial chaos."
Lindsey took a deep breath.
Between maintaining his hidden identity and restoring stability to the world, he decisively chose the latter.
Reactivating the recently cooled Freedom Seal, Lindsey surged forward, flying directly towards the core pillar.
The raging hurricane around him didn't hinder Lindsey.
At times, it even blew beside him, aiding his flight and increasing his speed!
"What's going on with that kid?"
"The Elemental Lord's wind is helping him! Why?"
"..."
Lindsey's actions caught the attention of the other Awakened ones, and various voices rang out.
However, the attack Lindsey anticipated never came.
The reason for this also lay with the surrounding hurricane.
Clearsky was an Eighth Stage being, and these Seventh Stage Awakened ones had been cautious after initiating combat, showing restraint.
This restraint was now transferred to Lindsey.
Clearsky's hurricane was intentionally shielding this young man, which meant he was an affiliate of an Eighth Stage being! The Awakened ones were hesitant to act.
Many chose to watch as Lindsey continued to approach the Core Pillar, but only Leafaya and Alice, with their unique perspectives, observed this scene differently.
"...”
"I can't reach it, and neither can you!"
As the battle's objective was about to be achieved, someone finally lost their patience.
When Lindsey was still hundreds of meters away from the Core Pillar, a loud shout suddenly rang out in the air.
He turned his head to see the Deviator roaring.
In an instant, a vibrant stream of life force erupted from the sky.
Before Lindsey could react, the Sky Compass in his accessory slot, equipped with danger-alerting abilities, emitted a sharp alarm.
"Death is imminent!"
"We must dodge it at all costs!"
Lindsey swiftly switched to the Athletic Sprint module.
He first entered Focus Mode, and under the protection of slowed time, he activated all his skills to enhance his physical attributes.
But within this fraction of a millisecond, the Deviator's released radiance had already reached Lindsey's eyes, resembling natural light about to shine upon his face.
Lindsey's Puzzle Game was not yet switched out.
The power of the light was reflected.
[Life Overload Ray—Whether organic or inorganic, upon being exposed to this ray, life forces go out of control, leading to a completely chaotic and disordered state.]
"It's indeed the Deviator's skill."
"The stronger the ability, the more astonishing the life force it unleashes, but it brings not a thriving life but rather more disorder and terrifying consequences."
Lindsey desperately dodged, barely managing to avoid this attack.
Boom—
He turned his head to see something unexpected happening right before his eyes.
The Deviator's attack had two targets.
One was to shoot Lindsey down as he approached the Core Pillar, and the other was to attack the hidden Spatial Anomaly using Lindsey's position, a path that would not be defended by the Singularity Hurricane.
At this very moment, distorted and swollen flesh began to grow from the Endless Void.
Lindsey, having dodged the Life Overload Ray, was now unleashing its power onto the strange anomaly.
The power of the Seventh Stage Deviator was fully unleashed, and an almost limitless life force began to erupt.
A large, bloody, and foul-smelling tumor appeared in the air.
It was like an out-of-control Hele cell, greedily extending its tentacles to transform everything around it into its own likeness.
[Anomaly Tumor (Space-Time)—A powerful space-time anomaly, eroded by the Deviator's fleshly rule, gives birth to a bizarre 'life form' that unconsciously devours everything around it.]
"Ah?!"
Lindsey shuddered.
He realized what was about to happen next.
Without hesitation, Lindsey drew the Sunflame Archer and shouted to the other Awakened behind him:
"Destroy it immediately!"
"If the Core Pillar, the guardian of the Dust Path World, is destroyed, we're finished!"
Boom—
Lindsey, with all his might, fired an arrow.
The other Awakened, who had just stabilized themselves in the air, heard Lindsey's warning and also realized the urgency of the situation.
Their decisive mindset allowed them to quickly mobilize their Essence.
Rules, control, destruction...
The radiance of skills flashed in the air.
Then, like a dense flood of annihilation, it rushed towards the swollen flesh in the sky.
