The tornado just landed!
Arthur finished his arrangements and deployments of tasks for Gege before that monstrous tornado hit him.
The first thing he felt was a big bang, like a loud explosion that erupted just meters away from his head.
The entire world rumbled next, before Arthur’s vision went blank. He couldn’t see anything, couldn’t feel anything other than intense trembling of the shield covering him up.
At the moment of contact, his dragonair energy became like a burnt candle, getting sucked away at a terrifying rate that made him worry.
‘Trying to consume my energy? Not a chance!’
Arthur was ready for that. Inside his garden world, tens of thousands of chefs worked hard during the past hours to cook tons of monster meat for him.
He only needed to cancel his technique to be able to replenish his expenditure, but at least he got a way for that.
The violent clash between the two sides continued for long minutes that seemed like a century. Just as the friction calmed down, Arthur finally heaved a silent sigh of relief.
His dragonair energy was consumed at least for one third, making him realize how brutal that tornado was.
But in the end nothing else happened. The tornado’s ferocity declined and kept only hammering over his shield without any more risk over him.
At this point, his energy consumption was balanced with his energy generation rate, making him more confident in replenishing the dragonair energy consumed in the next five minutes.
‘Gege, how are things outside my shield?’ Despite winning in this brutal clash, he didn’t lower his guard yet. He knew the danger was still present and that tornado would target everyone around at any moment.
‘Nothing new, the tornado is fixing on you,’ she knew what he wanted and feared so she gave him the answer he desired.
But that didn’t make him feel any relief at all. ‘Keep watching until the tornado is gone,’ he said while watching the world turn from blankness into a world of intense green.
He knew he was engulfed inside a massive tornado of green fire at the moment. However his defensive technique was surrounding his body from all sides, with no weak spots to be spotted at all.
What he cared about now was studying this clash, how long it would last and how much energy it would consume.
Luckily the fierceness of that tornado was only at the start. Within the next minutes, the dragonair energy production rate kicked in to fill in the consumed energy from before.
In five minutes, as he predicted, his dragonair energy returned to the peak level again. However, that tornado didn’t show any sign of stopping. It looked like it would continue for much longer than he expected.
But he wasn’t willing to waste more time here.
‘Gege, send Amera back through the same way.’
‘Now?’ Gege was taken aback. From her view, Arthur was doing great just now. Yet it seemed risky to trigger the tornado once again.
But Arthur knew better. He didn’t want to be trapped here, wasting more time in waiting for the tornado to cool down.
If this continued, then the time needed to get everyone out would take days, even weeks. This wasn’t wise or practical. There was only way for him to add more risk in the equation and see if he could handle this.
‘Just do it,’ he firmly gave the order and waited for Amera to leave.
‘Ding! Why not send those inside the garden world first?’ the system saw this risk unneeded.
‘The number of those people are huge! If you want, you can send them now and see if they’ll affect that damn tornado,’ the golden dragon agreed.
But Arthur had another point in doing so. He didn’t want to let this chance pass without experimenting. He knew they got a point here. After all, the number of forces stationed inside the garden world was in millions, reaching a terrifying figure of tens of millions.
Compared to them, getting one more powerhouse outside was more worthy in his eyes. Even if he managed to get the tens of millions outside before the enemy attacked, they wouldn’t do well against the real powerhouses of the enemy side.
If the enemies started to deploy their elites and grandmasters early on, then even using tens of millions to stop them would become a suicide.
Only powerhouses of equivalent level or higher were able to contend against his enemies, not mere soldiers.
So he persisted in his opinion.
‘Just take her outside and let’s talk later.’
‘Fine,’ Gege complied. The next minute Arthur felt a new change in the atmosphere around. The tornado that was now being pressed down by his defensive technique flared up again.
It was like a dying fire got sprayed upon using a tank of gasoline! The green fire escalated all of sudden and got more intense, turning the entire world into blankness again.
This time it was destined to be different. The tornado continued to rage havoc at his shield for ten long minutes. During which his dragonair energy consumption jumped to cross even half of his total amount.
That was unbelievable! However he expected that to happen. After all, he didn’t wait for the tornado to die down before sending Amera out.
Adding one more triggering action to the raging tornado added more ferocity to it. Arthur didn’t know how much green fire his enemies prepared here in this world. He didn’t know if his actions here would consume this energy in return as it consumed his energy.
But he hoped for that to happen.
After the end of ten minutes, the tornado died down again and returned to its passive state. Arthur glanced around to see the entire world becoming pitch green without anything else to see.
‘Anything new?’ he calmly asked.
‘Nothing other than the tornado,’ Gege said, ‘but I felt a strange presence in the other world.’
‘Really? What happened?’ Arthur’s eyes shone in bright blue light while knowing what Gege meant.. His empire world had a new change, meaning his enemies were about to move.
