Chapter 1798 1798. Extreme Winds

The buffeting wind was picking up while more monsters appeared around the soldiers. But with the wind came the pressure increasing. Walker sensed that Ventus had begun to ignore the control over her natural dragon pressure that she released. Many of the monsters could sense it just by instinct. They could tell that there was a powerful monster here ready to attack them and defeat them in a single move. Especially one that was well higher on the food chain. 

What Walker didn't notice was that the storms had seemingly been caught up even more. The storms were pulling at one another. This sight of nature fighting itself was off. Naturally, the same elemental mana would not fight against itself. That was why some people would use their skills and meld them together. Mages of the same type would work together. 

Yet, when Walker looked and sensed the air, he could feel the opposing wind currents grinding against one another. This was similar to the light skill that he had just seen. The skill that caused heat to be generated as the light blades would grind against one another. That was already unnatural since it was a forced creation of a skill made by a living being. It wasn't a naturally occurring event. 

When Walker saw that the wind was colliding and causing chaos right in front of him, he began to understand how some of the other forces of nature came together. Lighting had already been proven to be an odd melding within a storm. The manas came together and created a high amount of energy that showed itself in the form of lighting. But even that was balanced. 

The idea of a tornado was easily understood too. The warm air and the cold air chasing one another within a perfect balance. The two sets of wind manas coming back together as they changed their forms. However, this was two of the same high temperature wind manas hitting one another in opposition. 

The currents had carried the two storms together at a much faster pace than many of the group had understood. The sands had been heated by the sun for days and days before this happened. Now everyone was witnessing the heated sands in the air which allowed for even more opposition from the two separate storms. 

Everyone with the ability to see could tell that the sands carried by each storm were colliding. It just added to the fact that the wind currents naturally collided here. That was the key. Physical collision pushed the storms to collide even more dramatically. It also forced the currents to alter themselves. "This is natural!" 

Walker's understanding blossomed after a moment. "The extreme conditions here make the entire area shift, right? That means the wind currents are never settled down due to the high heat and expansion of the desert. That means these storms collide, the wind currents collide, and the sands collide. Once that happens, natural mana is able to settle down again. That's why it happens. There is nothing to cool the sands. If the sands weren't so dry then the sand storms would be rarer." 

The idea had come to Walker as he watched the storms with awe. He had been trying to learn what he could, but now he was able to understand nature a little more. It was unexpected but also very useful. However, the earth mana was also at odds with itself, which created the rain of sand that was forced away from the storm and carried by other wind currents. That brought about the growth of new dunes, expansion of the desert, and caused the nutrients that might be in the sand to spread elsewhere. 

"So if we manage to figure out the mystery of this heat filled desert we could fix it all?" Gil looked at Walker with a curious expression before refocusing on another target. He saw a spiny mantis heading toward one of the soldiers and knew it had to be dealt with. Gil's arrows had been used over and over, sadly disappearing under the sands before anyone could get near the sniped targets. 

"I think so, if that all stops we will get this back to a natural flow everything. The wind mana, the earth mana, and the natural mana. Let's just watch Ventus manipulate nature a little here." Walker smiled as he used all his mental strength to bring in more natural mana. The chaos making it infinitely harder for him. 

As he did so, Walker started to send it toward the wind mana that Ventus had gathered. The sudden burst of wind that attracted to Ventus made everyone feel an even greater pressure. However, it was necessary. They would feel pressure but it was just for now. The winds would alter the storms that were beginning to collide in even more dangerous chaos. 

As the storms pushed closer, the sand rain suddenly stopped and a pulling force appeared. The wind currents had broken and were now trying to find a new path. The resulting change was in the flow of the storms. They had too much energy and force to be stopped, therefore, they began rotating around themselves to become one storm. To become the distant sand tornado that had been expected. 

The distance that they were from the storm, the devastating sand tornado that appeared to be growing as the wind and earth mana found their flow, was enough to cause everyone to step back. The monsters around even halted knowing that running was no longer an option. The monster, no matter the species, began to dig themselves in to the sand. Even if they were able to fly, they forced themselves as deep in to the sand dunes that they could. 

The only hope for the monsters in this situation would be for them to dig and hope that the storm did not pass above them. That the sand tornado would not cross their sand dune and pull them in to the twisting mass of sand. If it did, they would be sliced apart by the extremely fast moving sand, the intense wind blades that pushed it all along. 

The group of soldiers almost wanted to follow this as well, but when they were about to ask for orders and they were going to act a single roar burst around them. The royal dragons looked up with gleeful smiles. Their understanding of Ventus was that she was normally peaceful, however, they had seen her strength. It was rare for her or Current to fight or act out with their power. Water and wind could maintain a calm that was unlike any other. Even Rise was unable to match it. 

Yet, as Ventus roared out, everyone could hear a deeper storm within. A storm of pure wind that could slice through the world easily. This just went to speak to the depths that Ventus understood the ways of wind. The level she was at where she could easily step in to the wind elemental plane if she were to force herself. 

The insane amount of wind mana that she gathered around herself was forced forward in an extreme gust. The air around everyone seemed to shift as well, trying to follow the sudden new current of wind that made the sands shift in a new way. 

The earth mages, Alice, and anyone else with the ability to make shields did so. They used their skills in a sudden burst to hold them all in place. Walker found that Midnight and Su moved to hold him in place since he had been feeding Ventus natural mana. He had not properly secured himself in place before he had acted. But they had been there to help him. Likewise, Remey was holding some of the mages that were making shields in place. She had a hand on Alice and an earth mage to keep them safe. 

The wind current created screamed through the sky causing the sand tornado to halt and begin pushing back. This was the key moment before a new current of air was formed. The force used had altered the natural formation pushing the sand tornado away. But it was not just pushed away. Ventus had more than just planned to push the sand tornado away from them. 

Without letting anyone know, Ventus had carefully looked at the direction of the ruins on the map. She had also been sensing the wind carefully. She knew if she sent the tornado to the ruins, she could alter the path enough not to hit the camps where the Fel empire soldiers were. She had used this all to hurt and bury the ruins even more. It was an incredible show of power and genius. The wisdom of a wind dragon that had lived for years and years to reach the pinnacle of what she was now.
