Chapter 1823 Eye of the Storm
"We must help Kimat so that he does not get interrupted while he is devouring the Eye of the Storm." Adrian stated as he suddenly dodged an incoming stone traveling at a high speed.
He was not yet inside the actual storm yet there are already lots of things flying about that could potentially take him out if he was not present minded. Kimat would be descending at the very center which is not the most dangerous area but there are so many variables that can happen. Just because the center of the storm is considered the safest does not mean that it is safe.
"I could technically freeze the storm in time but that will not take us anywhere but only by a couple of seconds of time. I should reserve that when it will be a crisis as that should be a saving grace." Adrian muttered as he looked at Kimat who was beside him.
Kimat is now showing one of the qualitative changes that happened to his body. Kimat could now basically fly in the sky as sparks of lightning could be seen on his paws. The fur on his body is also flowing with lightning which made him almost weightless. If one had a fear of flying tigers, then Kimat would be the best example of that.
"Are you ready?" Adrian asked.
"I shall not make master be too burdened. I shall make sure to quickly devour it." Kimat stated.
"Do not worry about the burden part as your safety is a better priority. Any danger to you will affect your entire body. Pull back if you know that you cannot handle it as we will think of other ways. Even if you do not evolve when the battle comes, we will think of a way to increase our combat capacity." Adrian stated as he was also looking at other alternatives in increasing his fighting capacity.
"I also wish for this kind of strength, master. I am a bit jealous of my older siblings." Kimat stated.
Adrian did not know when the hierarchy between the soulbounds started but they referred to themselves as brothers and sisters even though they are not the same species. Adrian asked Old Man Pann about such interaction and even he was shocked since monsters of the same species tend to not talk with one another as much. This is the case for the different monsters that Old Man Pann is taking care of.
A number of large trees that were uprooted by the thrashing Eye of the Storm. Those large trees often travelled to Kimat's location, but Kanlaon shot it down with light or darkness spells that is not hindered by the immense wind pressure. The reason why Adrian did not want to use any fire, water, wind or earth spells is that they could all influence each other greatly.
If Kanlaon used a fire spell, he could inadvertently create a fire storm. If he used water, then he could also create a waterspout. If he used wind, then he might counter the flow of the storm and disperse it along with the Eye of the Storm. If it is earth, then he just might add more flying debris that are dangerous.
When it would get dangerous enough that Kimat could not defend against it or Kanlaon cannot deflect it, Adrian started to move as well. As if he trained for this or rather used this as a training opportunity, Adrian used Time Stop for only one second intervals. When time is stopped Adrian would immediately create a small space rift that would suck in the debris that should hit Kimat.
Adrian's first attempts were not as great, but he could now accurately do it by his fourth attempt. Kimat could be seen to have some bruises on his body, but his health was still great overall. Adrian partially summoned Saena to heal Kimat as he cannot fully summon her since the wind was too great for her to bear.
After minutes of not knowing how long it was, Adrian noticed that the winds next to him started to subside. He thought that Kimat was failing but he was actually succeeding. The energy avatar of Kimat is now bigger than the Eye of the Storm itself. Adrian also noticed that the Eye of the Storm was smaller in size as it was not Kimat's energy avatar that grew bigger.
A few seconds later, the entire storm crashed into nothing as if it was never there, but the signs of devastation could be clearly seen in the surroundings. Adrian summoned Saena to heal of his wounds along with Kimat and Kanlaon. Adrian clearly looked at the area of devastation and the surrounding was totally wrecked.
Even the earth itself was carved by the immense storm that they have experienced. The mountain area that there were in no longer looked like a mountain since part of it was destroyed. Adrian did not notice it entirely as his focus was on Kimat, but the storm might have been rougher than he though.
[Your soulbound, Kimat, has successfully devoured an Eye of the Storm.]
[The Gods of Wind have their interests piqued by the display that Kimat has shown.]Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
