Capítulo 1864: Chapter 1865: Storm Pursuit
As Veronia cleverly bought them so ti, by the ti Feng Yuan and his group ran back to the Ferris wheel, the stormcloud had yet to pursue them. However, looking at the stormcloud’s unchanged speed, everyone had a bad premonition.
As the cabin door closed once again, the Ferris wheel began to slowly rotate. This ti Feng Yuan looked at the main structure of the Ferris wheel, estimating their current position. Although the Ferris wheel constantly brought them through different spaces, those spaces seed to be distributed around the Ferris wheel rather than breaking the spatial barrier directly.
Based on the current state of the Ferris wheel cabin, Feng Yuan estimated that they had risen close to the peak, which ant, according to normal distribution, there should be three spaces on each side of the Ferris wheel. It’s uncertain at the top, but the approaching stormcloud seed abnormal.
Moreover, the keys in hand gave Feng Yuan a very unpleasant thought.
Placing his hand on the glass window, watching the cloud paradise being gradually destroyed by the stormcloud, Feng Yuan released the nine small shields from the cabin. Though they had a physical nature, they were essentially energy bodies, and Feng Yuan had tested this cabin, finding that it did not block energy bodies from passing through.
“Are you worried that thing will catch up?”
Veronia guessed what Feng Yuan was thinking as soon as she saw his actions. Feng Yuan nodded, looking at the distant stormcloud pressing closer, and said,
“Don’t you think there’s sothing wrong with this thing? Since we’ve already started leaving this place, why is that thing still moving, and moreover, its speed hasn’t changed at all.”
The bright light seed swallowed by the stormcloud, as its destruction of the cloud layers grew, plunging the entire Cloud Paradise into darkness. As the Ferris wheel rotated again, with the cabin ascending, they could see a hideous black mark extending over the brightly lit Cloud Paradise below.
This ti, the Ferris wheel wasn’t shrouded in thick fog or twisted space, but covered by a thick cloud layer, and while it seed to have pierced through space, the clouds gave an ominous feeling.
The thick cloud obstructed everyone’s vision, and strange noises occasionally ca to their ears, brought by the gales passing over the Ferris wheel’s tal fra.
No matter how thick the clouds were, there would always be a ti to break through. As the cabin pierced through the cloud layer, the blinding dawn sun didn’t put anyone at ease, because they all saw those clusters of black clouds drifting towards their location.
“Seems like it’s trying to stop those things from damaging the Ferris wheel~”
Veronia pointed playfully, generating Crystal Guards in the outside world. As this airspace lacked a no-fly effect, those Crystal Guards floated around, but everyone understood that not having restrictions was actually a big problem because it ant that the enemy on the other side was likely stronger.
“Judging by the previous pattern, it wouldn’t be surprising if that stormcloud chased us.”
Yang Hongzhi said with a sowhat grim expression as he glanced at the small black cloud masses easily destroyed by nine Fire Guns. Those nine Fire Guns transford from nine small shields, and Yang Hongzhi knew their power source was Xiao Ji, so the Fire Guns’ attack power was certainly not very high.
Yet even so, the small black clouds couldn’t withstand the damage, indicating that this space either had a special chanism or those small clouds were just fodder.
The Ferris wheel rotated slowly, never showing signs of stopping this ti. Feng Yuan glanced at the Ferris wheel’s main body, finding it nearing the peak while the front space remained unchanged, suggesting that this space might be the one enveloping the Ferris wheel top. So, after descending, will space change?
While Feng Yuan pondered, Veronia glanced at Yang Hongzhi and said,
“Do you all really want that thing to appear?”
“What do you an we want it to appear? Looking at the current situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if it chased us, since the small monsters don’t have any special chanisms, and here doesn’t require breaking any chanisms. Do you think this place will let us pass peacefully?”
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said irritably. He really didn’t want the stormcloud to chase them, yet judging by its previous peculiar behavior and current developnts, it seed likely that the stormcloud would follow.
Unsurprisingly, just as the Ferris wheel was about to reach the top, a black swirling cloud expanded slowly like ink dropped into clear water over the splendid cloud sea, as the wind blowing across the Ferris wheel intensified, bringing a blasting sound.
“It’s coming after all.”
Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by the stormcloud breaking through the cloud layer, now chasing them. What troubled him now was how to stop it from approaching.
Xiao Ji’s attacks can’t really block it. Typically dealing with such mist-like bodies requires either forcibly controlling each component with telekinesis or using a wind attribute ultimate move to disperse it.
However, the stormcloud itself is abnormal, constructed of wind attribute energy. Telekinesis might still work, but a wind attribute ultimate move would only be devoured, strengthening it further.
“Physical attacks probably won’t work, but I’m still inclined to try~”
With a chilling smile, Veronia placed her hand on the glass window, and a Crystal Rose erged from the void, rushing towards the pitch-black stormcloud. At this mont, the stormcloud was continuously trying to devour nearby small black clouds.
Although Feng Yuan wasn’t sure if devouring small clouds would make it stronger, since it had already shifted its direction towards the stormcloud, he naturally couldn’t let it go unchallenged.
Whether or not it strengthens by devouring small clouds, he couldn’t gamble on that possibility; even if it were to self-destruct upon reaching a certain level of consumption, it wouldn’t do. Considering the stormcloud continuously chased them, Feng Yuan always felt that betting on this probability was more dangerous.
After all, the Ferris wheel wouldn’t stop, and they could only stay in the Ferris wheel cabin. If that thing grew bigger the more it’s fed, protecting the Ferris wheel from being destroyed would beco even more troubleso. As for it chasing us?
Currently, the stormcloud’s speed wasn’t variable. Although faster than the Ferris wheel, they still had ample ti.
As Feng Yuan was montarily distracted, the Crystal Rose touched the stormcloud, and the violent whirlwinds surrounding the stormcloud frantically tore at it. Yet the Crystal Rose’s slender vines rely offered a courteous tremble against the Whirlwind, seemingly like an unbreakable environntal decor in a ga.
Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by this. If Veronia were serious, the power of the Abnormal Space truly wouldn’t significantly interfere with her ultimate moves. The Divine Beasts were wary of the Abnormal Space only because of its lawless nature, where rule-involving powers would be suppressed.
Rather than a display of authority, Veronia’s Crystal Rose was more an embodint of the Divine Beast’s power, and such rule-independent ultimate moves were hardly affected.
The Crystal Rose unapologetically pierced the violent winds guarding the stormcloud, yet it encountered no solid entity within. The entire stormcloud consisted of a chaotic amalgamation of wind attribute energy, rendering physical destruction nearly ineffective against it.
This didn’t phase Veronia; utilizing the Crystal Rose, she transmitted unique crystallized energy inside, causing the stormcloud to undergo yet another transformation. As crystallized cloud forms appeared, offensive capabilities began erging within the stormcloud.
Listening to the sound of the Crystal Rose being bombarded by crystalline debris flows in the stormcloud, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia in astonishnt and said,
“Are you strengthening the stormcloud?”
If previously the stormcloud could only damage with sheer wind power, now with Veronia’s move, using the crystallized debris flow, the stormcloud could pose a threat against even more defensive asures.
Rolling her eyes, Veronia replied with exasperation,
“Not intentionally, but it seems to have so effect.”
Though the appearance of the crystalline debris flow inflicted notable damage within the stormcloud, this was after all an entity composed of energy, needing only a constant injection of energy for repair.
However, Veronia discovered that beyond granting the stormcloud heightened internal destructive power, the crystalline debris seed to be affecting the energy balance within the stormcloud as well.
