Chapter 520: Volume 12: The Burning Demon Flame, Chapter 11: Tornado Storm

The pursuers’ discernment was undoubtedly keen, for they realized from Komer’s casual display of power that today’s battle would be anything but easy to conclude. While one of the pursuers continued to monitor the Elf Thief from afar, the other two, almost simultaneously, formed a strange triangular pyramid formation with the leader, who had deftly dodged backward. They pointed their hands toward the sky, and their clear chanting suddenly echoed in front of the clifftop.

"Oh vast heavens, divine gift to all life, Tornado Wind, arise!" The combined incantation of the three was exceptionally practiced. Repeating it three times in succession, increasing in pace and pitch with each iteration, it transformed into a massive wave of energy that formed in front of the precipice.

"Tornado Storm!" The Elf Thief, who had until then maintained a relaxed demeanor, couldn’t help but turn pale with terror. This was a special kind of Wind Magic Array, activated in such a brief time without the use of any Magic tools or Divine Artifacts, which meant employing the Mage’s own Saint Yuan Power for support. This was the main reason why any Mage would hesitate to attempt it.

Komer realized the gravity of the situation; the group before him was clearly on a secret mission, and it seemed vital that their actions remain concealed, or they would not have unleashed such a fierce offensive against him, leaving little room for maneuver.

Although Komer had never witnessed a Tornado Storm, that particular Wind Magic Array, before, he could tell by the way the Wind Element around him was rapidly condensing that the power of this Wind Magic would truly be formidable.

In the blink of an eye, the massive wave of Wind Magic completed its assembly, rapidly forming a huge swirling undercurrent shield that sucked in all the surrounding trees and mud. Like a true gigantic tornado, it charged toward Komer with a whoosh.

The poor Mud Giant Demon hadn’t even had the chance to demonstrate its power before it was shredded to pieces by the approaching Tornado Storm. The great Magic Power of the Earth Magic was penetrated, and the Mud Giant Demon’s vast, fractured body danced through the center of the Tornado Storm, turning into countless particles of mud and dust, disappearing without a trace.

Komer subtly shifted his body, trying to dodge the raging winds of the tornado, but he soon realized he had miscalculated.

The three pursuers’ piercing gaze had firmly locked onto Komer, continuously driving the Tornado Pillar to adjust its direction. Wherever Komer moved—the Tornado Pillar followed. Its speed and power were increasing, its range expanding. Komer felt as though he was trapped in the eye of a hurricane, with crazy winds whirling around him, and he knew today he would have to confront his opponent’s powerful Wind Magic head-on.

The massive Tornado Storm had already swept up the surrounding mud and dust, creating a spiraling column of earth, with a roaring sound that threatened to burst one’s eardrums. The ground itself trembled as the unimpeded force hurtled toward him.

Komer had silently recited the spell three times in his heart. It was his first time casting this Dark Magic defensive shield. Normally, the Magic Shield from the Light Magic series would have been the most appropriate, but the Light Magic Power was not the source of Komer’s own Magic Power. Although Komer had successfully exchanged a portion of his Dark Magic Power with Light Magic Power, it was just a preliminary experiment.

Simple Light Series Magic might suffice, but facing such a potent Wind Magic Array, Komer dared not risk his own life. Seeing the Mud Giant Demon was torn into dust in an instant, Komer preferred to spend more Yuan Force rather than take that risk.

A series of diamond-shaped shields formed softly as Komer uttered the last word of the spell, one after another converging in front of him. A crystalline shield was established in the shortest time, just before the Tornado Storm hit, shaping a giant semi-elliptical barrier. The surface of the shield sparkled with stars, as if the power of the stars above had been cast upon it.

However, had there been a Mage skilled in Star Magic present, they would have noticed that the twinkling starlight on the shield’s surface could not hide the underlying flow of a dark gray luster. That tinge of dark light circled within the diamond shields, quickly connecting the entire array, forming a seamless whole.

"Star Magic?!" Both the pursuers and the Elf Thief couldn’t help but exclaim. As a counter to Elemental Magic, Star Magic was undoubtedly most effective. The essence of Elemental Magic came from elemental transformation, and all elements originated from nature. Nature and the cosmos are inherently a unity, merely focusing on specifics for Elemental Magic while Star Magic embraces comprehensiveness.

A graceful smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Komer swung his hands gently, fusing the massive array of diamond-shaped shields into a single semi-elliptical one. Steadily and firmly, it advanced to meet the rapidly charging Tornado Pillar.

The massive air currents collided and compressed against each other, instantly causing the entire space to begin to twist and warp. Komer could even clearly see the black light within his Sky Demon Cover flowing at an abruptly accelerated pace, forming a magnificent dark curtain. The encroaching Wind Element was almost instantly devoured by the dark sky curtain, and the piercing screech became even sharper at this moment.

With the thunderous bangs, Komer only felt as though his wholeheartedly maintained Sky Demon Cover had been struck by a hammer weighing tens of thousands of tons, suddenly fissuring his mind and unleashing an infinite murderous intent from the cracks of his soul.

At that moment, Komer could also clearly see the shimmering lines in the air before him, like ripples on water, slowly expanding outward. Sensing trouble, Komer did not hesitate to retreat with a swift backward leap.

The massive energy variations produced by the collision of the two powerful magics immediately caused the spatial distortions to ripple, and any nearby substance disappeared within these spatial twists. Had Komer not withdrawn in time upon realizing the peril, the immense spatial distortion could have possibly thrown him into another Different World. Finding his way back to this space might then be an ordeal with no end in sight.

The shockwave stirred up by the magic collision spread out like a mushroom cloud, with the three pursuers all avoiding the wave of magic energy in the nick of time. However, the tremendous consumption of Magic Power left them too drained to engage in another round of confrontation. Such ferocious Wind Magic Array had actually been disrupted by Star Magic, and aside from silently cursing their bad luck, they could find no suitable reason to explain it.

The three pale-faced pursuers widened their eyes at the dissipating mushroom cloud. As the dust raised by the magic collision finally cleared, they wanted to see if the one who withstood their Tornado Storm could still stand firm. However, when the dust settled and Komer’s eyes, cold with killing intent, swept over the three of them, they realized they had indeed met their match today.

Komer, by contrast, was desperately trying to suppress the violent killing intent in his chest. The immense impact of the Tornado Storm, a Wind System Magic Array, was unimaginable for common people, and in a situation with no retreat, Komer had no choice but to resort to the most clumsy method of brute resistance.

Although he successfully used the Sky Demon Cover to withstand the opposing magic’s impact, the powerful backlash almost instantly cracked open a fissure through the well-suppressed Dark Magic Power within him. An endless murderous intent threatened to burst out from the well-hidden depths of his spirit. At this moment, all Komer wanted was to rush forward and slaughter everyone in sight with the most brutal means possible.

Komer was aware that his Dark Magic Power was not solely cultivated step by step by himself; forcefully accepting the power of Kennifer III meant that although he suddenly possessed immense Magic Power, he could not use it freely. Instead, he had to gradually adapt these powers for his own use through personal training, a process that would be exceedingly long.

If the Magic Power that he possessed ever exceeded his control, or was subjected to a powerful blow during a contest, causing a loss of control, various negative emotions brought about by the powerful Dark Magic Power could erupt in an instant. And if an outburst occurred and he couldn’t control himself, he might risk falling into madness and plunging into the abyss.

Komer had no choice but to muster all his strength to suppress the killing intent churning within, like the undulating sea waves ceaselessly battering his mental defenses. He knew this was a test of his will. The faint fishy taste in the depths of his mouth didn’t bring clarity to Komer; instead, it gave him a bloodthirsty thrill, a sign of impending madness. He kept taking deep breaths in an attempt to control his emotions.

At that time, Komer could only pray silently that his adversaries would not provoke him. Otherwise, the rage and killing intent in his chest might breach his limits, vanishing them into thin air, and he might also end up in a tragic state of madness.

In fact, when Komer’s icy gaze swept over the Dark Elf pursuers with waves of chill, the leading pursuer already prudently realized that today’s mission would be extremely difficult to accomplish. Worse still, they might end up lying here themselves.

The Dark Elves are one of the seven great Elf Clans that interact most with Mortals and have the deepest understanding of them. Merely from Komer’s gaze, the leading pursuer realized that the best chance to escape alive might be when this individual was still adjusting his breath. Once Komer regained his composure, it was likely that none of the four would escape.

Making a subtle hand signal to the three behind him, without any forewarning, four figures shot away like swallows skimming through the air, and in an instant, they had drifted dozens of meters away, leaving only the shocked cry of the Elf Thief echoing through the air.
