"Brother!"
"Oh, my!"
The Big Heads screamed and rushed to the ones who were blown away.
One of them checked their bodies. "Don't worry, it's nothing. Some of my bones are broken but I'll recover."
Rosie slowly calmed down. She stood up and bowed to the Second Elder.
"Thank you, Master."
"It's fine, just make sure that you guide us to the right path. We need the safest route to the tornado. You can do that, right?"
"Of course." Rosie nodded. "I think you only need one of us to guide you. Can you let my friends go? Their wounds need to be taken care of."
"Sure." The Second Elder nodded.
Angele listened to their conversation quietly. He was surprised that the Big Head named Rosie could still interact with the Second Elder in a reasonable way after the fight.
"People like her will become leaders. She was trying to find the best solution for the team while protecting her friends. Although she's weak, her team will be stronger with her in it. Wizards need someone like her in their teams," he muttered.
Vivian nodded after hearing these words. "You're right. Just like Suman from Thousand Waterfall City of White City Alliance. He could sacrifice himself for his teammates. Also, the current Mirror Lord has the same personality."
Angele smiled. "Sadly, I'm nothing like them."
The other Big Heads started leaving. They had to leave Rosie to the wizards. They slowly disappeared from the plain with the ones who were injured and the wizards started moving again.
The team returned to the carriages. Angele returned to his carriage and started modifying the potion he created earlier.
Everything went smoothly with the help of the biochip. Angele successfully limited the consequences by the night. He handed the potions to the wizards and the caravan started advancing. Rosie pointed out the direction for them and led them to the right side of the tornado.
The green and gray grass on the plain looked a bit strange on the ground. After around 10 days later, the grass turned blue.
Ten more days later, the grass on the plain turned pure blue and looked a bit translucent for some reason. The tornado was getting larger and larger in the wizards' sight, it looked endless.
Another five days passed…
*BAM*
Angele was meditating in the carriage when it suddenly shook and stopped.
Opening his eyes, he looked to the left. Fir also opened her eyes slowly, she was sitting was her legs crossed and was impacted by the carriage's stop as well.
"I'll go take a look outside." Angele stood up and opened the door. The chilling wind blew into the carriage right away and the only thing he could hear was the noise made by it.
He lowered his body and jumped out. Raising his head, Angele looked at the sky.
The sky was dark; there were no clouds, but the sun was surrounded by strong air flow—it was the source of the furious wind. Some ice shards in the wind were hitting the surface of the carriages and the noise was quite loud.
Besides the blue grass on the ground, the only color in his sight was gray. It felt like he was in thick fog.
*CHI*
Angele created a red barrier with a diameter of around 30 meters; he wanted to prepare for any possible threats.
He walked to the bull in front of the carriage and started checking.
The bull lowered its head; it seemed like something it feared stopped it from advancing.
Angele tapped on the bull's head with his brow furrowed.
*MOO*
The bull's muscles tightened, it seemed like the bull was getting more and more scared.
"What happened, Master Green?" Fir questioned from behind. "The elders are asking about the situation." The door opened. Fir jumped off the carriage as well. She was wearing a purple dress and the wind was blowing her blonde hair in the air. She was moving to Angele slowly.
"The bull stopped moving. I think the environment ahead scared it," Angele responded. "I'm still trying to figure out a way."
Fir's brow furrowed as well. "There are mortals in the caravan; without the carriages, we won't be able to travel too far." White light was flashing on the back of her hands.
"The elders said that we should use the method we talked about."
"That's all we can do now." Angele nodded and looked at the bull.
With a flick of his finger.
*CHI*
A ray of red light was released from his finger. The ray separated into four smaller rays, then entered the bull's ears and eyes.
*MOO*
The bull groaned in pain and tried to charge forward like crazy but Angele stopped it from moving. The only thing it could do was screaming in pain.
Blood spurted out of its eyes and ears.
"We have damaged all the bulls' eyes and ears. They won't feel scared if they can't hear or see the tornado." Angele sent the words to fir through energy particles. "Ask the elders to do the same thing."
"Sure." Fir nodded and she sent the words to the elders using communication runes.
Seconds later, Angele heard that other bulls were also groaning in pain.
Angele used his hands to stop the bull from moving and checked the surroundings.
There was sand in the wind; Angele could barely see the things ten meters away from him. Several black robes from other carriages approached him.
Rosie was in front of the black robes and quickly took off her hood. "Master, we're almost at the edge of the tornado, we should stop. There should be a wall ahead and the tornado is right behind that wall."
"Alright, did the elders say anything?" Angele did not look at Rosie, he was still checking the humongous tornado with his brow furrowed.
"The elders said that they would let you decide everything since you were the one made the plan," Fir interrupted.
Angele thought for a while and responded, "Alright, you can go back to your people now, Rosie."
Rosie bowed to Angele politely and left the caravan. She ran to the right side of the carriage and disappeared into the sandstorm.
Angele opened his mouth again after Rosie left. "I approached the tornado from a different angle the last time I was here so I need to check the situation. Please just wait here."
He did not send the words through energy particles, he just said it using his mouth. Fir could easily deliver the message to the elders.
Fir did not respond, she just nodded slightly.
"It'll take me a day or two so just stay alert. There should be no threat inside the tornado, but I'm not sure about its edges," Angele advised.
"Sure."
Angele tightened his black robe and started advancing. The carriages quickly disappeared from his sight.
All the objects around were blocked by the sand in the wind. The blue grass on the ground was surrounded by a red glow; it was the only colorful thing here.
'I made the plan but it's actually my first time here… Let me check if the path is safe or not. The legendary wizard lords decided to stay away from this area. I want to know what the reason is.'
Angele waved his right hand and released a ball of red flames. The red flames turned into a lion man.
*Roar*
The lion man roared and released some red light from his wings. He stopped moving and released numerous energy waves. His power level was close to a rank 4 wizard.
Red light surrounded Angele's eyes as well. The mentality waves Angele released surrounded the lion man and started modifying the energy waves the lion man was releasing.
Seconds later, the energy waves released by the lion man were identical to the energy waves released by Angele.
*PA*
Angele flicked his finger; the lion man's body and face started changing. He turned into another Angele quickly.
"Walk around the area, don't do anything else," Angele ordered in a light tone.
*Roar*
The lion man nodded.
Angele's eyes flashed and his body started transforming. He turned into an enormous scorpion monster seconds later. The scorpion was covered with dark-red shell and the red light around its body got intense.
Angele jumped into the air.
*CHI*
He charged to the tornado like an arrow and entered it right away.
All he could see was the sand, the further he advanced, the lower the visibility was.
Angele advanced for around two hours at full speed in the wind. The sand turned from gray to black and he could no longer see the blue grass on the ground.
A strong force was drawing Angele to the right; without the single-eyed giant's bloodline in his body, his direction would already be changed. It was hard to find the direction in the wind.
'Let me land on the ground and double-check the direction.' Angele started landing.
Strangely, he noticed that there was nothing under his feet after flying for a while. He spent several minutes in the air but he still could not reach the ground.
Still, the only thing he could see was the black sand and Angele wondered if he was heading in the wrong direction.
Angele overlooked the area ahead. The red light around his eyes got intense and he asked the biochip for help. He could finally see the humongous tornado ahead, it was still spinning slowly.
'I thought I was getting closer to the tornado…' Angele kept flying down. Several minutes later, he finally landed on the ground and felt relieved.
'The wind is so strong that its power level is the same as a damage spell casted by a rank 3 apprentice. Also, the wind never stops and I'm still at the edge of the tornado…'
He stomped the ground and made sure that the land could handle his weight. Angele lowered his body and started running.
A tall gray wall appeared in the area ahead; it was the only thing blocking the path to the tornado.
