Chapter 341: The Raging Storm (2)
The storm raged.
The waves rose up to the skies, threatening to destroy everything below them when they slammed back onto the surface of the sea. Yet the two groups facing each other didn’t heed the fury of nature around them.
Althea’s comprehension of elements and Laws surpassed that of those at Enlightened Stage, but her actual stage was still limited to the Refined Stage.
Tinkering with Strings of Fate took its toll on her body. Her fingers wilted at a visible rate, and she felt her body’s temperature rising to dangerous levels. But it didn’t deter her.
She continued to pluck and push the strings. Her five opponents suffered tremendously. Her relentless attacks prevented them from mounting a counterattack. But the five weren’t easily defeated.
Caw.
Suddenly, a bird’s cry erupted, piercing through the noise of the howling winds. Althea watched as the one who had stood on top of the mainsail cried out and tore through the winds. Ethereal wings appeared on his back, pushing the turbulent winds aside.
The distance between them and Althea wasn’t great to begin with. His burst speed brought him up close to her. She saw the grin on his face as he flapped his wings, creating wind-sickles. She held his gaze. In the split second before the sickles were about to fly towards her, she released one of the Strings in her hand.
A wave behind her crashed down, sending her ship upward. At the same time, the crash blasted the air outward, causing the wind-sickles to be blown to smithereens. Not only that, the blast threw the bird-like man back.
