Chapter 244

Sylas jumped down directly from its back, curled up her body, and rolled on the blue water sphere that appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly, she was bounced into the sky, did a somersault, and in her hands that were engulfed by golden light, a milky white wind shield opened, the wind shield opened too fast, and there was too much wind inside, so much so that you could hear a "bang".

Under Pegasus’s watchful eyes, the miraculous girl ascended straight into the air along the colorful river. But unlike before, this "river" no longer accelerated towards the place with dragon bones. These mischievous winds all obediently flowed into the west wind.

The sky was much sunnier and colder than imagined. This wind vein seemed endless, Sylas looked down and it was almost opaque. She didn’t know how wide it was, in short, she couldn’t see the end at a glance. The wind here was wilder than elsewhere, and it no longer politely communicated with her, always suddenly rushing up to push her. If she hadn’t been skilled in the technique of gliding with the wind shield, she would have already been overturned in the "river". And because her physical body was much heavier than the wind, she would immediately fall to the ground.

According to Xerath, falling from the top of the tower to the sand was no different from crashing directly onto concrete ground, and from such a high altitude… it must be twice as high, no, ten times as high as the top of the tower!

She carefully balanced and tried to lower her center of gravity by crouching. After being blown off course, she could immediately readjust. There were many turbulence and whirlpools in the wind. During the glide, she tried to change the wind shield from its previous circular shape to an elongated shape. On this strong West Wind Vein, being able to navigate through the turbulence and survive was the main focus, rather than using the wind to stay afloat.

The closer she got to the center of the Elemental Gate, the more amazing things she could see. These were things that couldn’t be seen on the ground: cracks in space constantly tearing and disappearing, flames appearing out of nowhere and being extinguished by water, rock children rolling out of cracks and falling into another, whirlwinds wandering around and coming together to form a larger one, and soon a tornado tail reached the ground, sucking up a heap of sand and spraying it into the air, only to be scattered far away by the wind.

Sylas had no protection on the West Wind Vein, and right from the start, she was hit in the face with sand. It really hurt to be hit by solid objects at such high speeds. And that’s not all, because she was in the "river" at the top, caught between two different wind speeds, her own speed was greatly weakened, and her body had to bear a great air pressure. Her eyes could hardly stay open, let alone her mouth.

In addition, the intense light became unbearable. She couldn’t see ahead and couldn’t avoid the various sudden attacks of elements. Several times, she was almost burned by flames jumping out of the river, but Leunen protected her (with its tentacles).

"Leunen! Aren’t you planning to come out?"

"If I come out, won’t that be an additional burden on you?" the fawning water lord said in a low voice. Its exposed tentacles were all hidden behind Sylas, so they wouldn’t accidentally be blown away by the wind.

"Can you leave the main part in the Elemental Realm and give me some pure water? I need your protection."

"Oh, yes, of course. What kind of protection do you want from me?"

"I want you to form this shape in front of me, to protect my body, like this." She bent down and gestured a sharp shape. She seemed fearless in the air, with only a barely visible wind shield beneath her feet.

Leunen cautiously crawled up to Sylas and said, "I think I’ll need your support at the beginning. You have to push me."

Sylas pushed Leunen and held it with her open, golden hands to prevent it from being blown away. One of the water lord’s tentacles slowly unfolded in front of Sylas, while another reminded her from behind, "You have to hold on to me, or else we’ll be blown away."

"Of course, if you don’t hurry, I’ll be blown away too! The wind shield is heavily worn, and I can’t maintain the protection in front of us."

"Then you have to support my body, I can’t do it myself."

"Of course, you parasite."

"We have a mutually beneficial relationship!" the water lord retorted defiantly. Then, with a "whoosh," it expanded in the turbulent flow. Sylas quickly used her magic to control its position, as the powerful pressure almost caused the water film to slip away.

"You have to adjust its shape according to the direction of the wind! It should be like an umbrella," Sylas gestured.

Leunen carefully felt the pressure from the wind, allowing its umbrella to receive a more even and gentle push. However, the more it expanded, the smaller the angle became, forming a rounded and blunt tip on its head. "I think this is the best shape. Oh, I feel much more comfortable now."

Just as it finished speaking, a stone flew towards them. It was Earth Child’s fist that had dropped from a crack somewhere. Leunen’s surface was dented by the impact, and it took a while for it to fix itself.

Moving through the wind is different from moving through water. In the vast expanse of the West Wind Vein, the wind gradually weakens layer by layer. There may even be vortices between the layers. The chaotic elements created a surreal sight for Sylas. If your speed decreases, you sink to a faster layer, propelled by the wind and the wind shield. But the faster you go, the greater the wind pressure, lifting the slanted wind shield. Compared to the slower wind in the upper layers, Sylas is essentially flying in the opposite direction. Her position in the West Wind Vein is determined by her weight and the resistance she encounters.

Leunen’s trembling shell greatly reduced the resistance on her body, and her speed reached a new balance. Maybe she didn’t even know how fast she was, so fast that she could hardly dodge the changing crack of elements.

"We really shouldn’t have left that Pegasus behind!" Leunen shouted in her ear, as her owner just leaped over a cluster of leaping flames.

"Why?"

"Only Pegasus can see the Lucky Point! You can’t be as amazing as Pegasus, can you?"

"I can see the Lucky Point too!" Sylas said.

"Forgive me for being straightforward, but you’re just a human. Where would you have seen a Lucky Point?"

Sylas suddenly jumped, and her wind shield bounced along. Leunen had to follow her owner, but in doing so, they managed to avoid a huge Earth Child crawling out of a crack. Its elemental vision made it easy for it to see that the Earth Child was about to fall halfway and didn’t know who it would land on.

"Huh? The dangers in this river are mainly elemental ripples and spewing cracks. The fluctuations from the cracks are so strong. Can’t you feel them?"

"I…I might be able to…" But as a water lord, its perception of other elements might not be as strong as Sylas’s.

"In short, I can do it. The ripples of elements won’t cause fatal harm, only cracks are deadly. But if we sense the cracks in advance, we’ll have enough time to avoid them. Let’s go, move forward! How much longer do you think it will take for us to arrive?"

The water lord sadly shook its tendrils and said, "I truly don’t know, my little master. We don’t have any measuring tools, but I can only say that we are already moving fast."

"Don’t worry, these winds can tell us."

Yes, these winds are all going on a "pilgrimage" to "witness the true appearance of the king."

"I really want to stand up straight, it’s so sunny." Luckily, the sun was shining from behind, but even so, she felt the scorching heat. There was no way to summon dark clouds in the sky. She just tried to call forth a dark cloud, but it was immediately carried away by the gusty wind, disappearing into the roaring winds.

She couldn’t see the ground, only the edge of the massive storm. The sand beneath her feet had turned into gray clouds that were very close. The top of the clouds reflected light, making her feel even sunnier.

The dark clouds that were very close to them gave her a feeling of darting through the air. The positions of the clouds and her changed rapidly. Sinister cloud formations took shape, some seeming to reach out to grab her, but most of them ignoring her presence. Thunderstorms occasionally occurred within the cloud layer, caused by… caused by… she couldn’t explain what triggered them. But almost all elements were being drawn down by its core.

Golden, silver, orange, bright blue.

The four elements intertwined and clashed within the core, pulling at each other. More elements wanted to descend and join in the commotion, causing even the eternal wind currents to deform rarely.

The clouds were very, very thick, but they left a lot of calm space for the core to fight, probably because they didn’t want to get hurt by accident.

The core erupted with strong lightning, each time weaving a net in the sky, almost completely filling the entire hole.

What was terrifying was that she saw a gray-white tall tower just below the hole.

"We have to… we have to go down!"

"Please don’t say silly things, how can we go down?"

"Of course… by jumping!"

"What if we get electrocuted?! What if?! It doesn’t matter if you die, but I would have to go back to fight! I don’t want to! I don’t want to! I… mmm…"

Its noisy mouth was banished by Sylas alone, and then it felt its body suddenly sink, as Sylas dispersed the feathers that had remained on her body for a long time, falling straight down from the hole.

If the water lord still had its mouth, it would have let out a piercing cry that would cut through the sky.

Sylas spread her limbs, and the apprentice robe made her look like a flying squirrel. Leunen, tightly wrapped around her arm, noticed that her eyes were not only staring at the ground but also looking behind.

"My master, what are you looking at?" It pulled its mouth out of the void interface, of course, it required some extra magical power expenditure.

"Something is flying over."

This is an unusual phenomenon. The Elemental Gate has no plants, no flying birds above, no walking animals below, only things that fall and things that float, but nothing that can fly.

Sylas suddenly opened her wind shield, and they flew smoothly for a long distance. The high deceleration made her temporarily black out. The water lord’s size suddenly increased greatly and coiled like a python around Sylas.
