BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93: Chapter93-Master of the Wind!
A thunderous roar erupted beneath John\'s feet as a figure shot into the sky at incredible speed!
[Master of the Wind]!
The violent, chaotic air currents responded to Exiled Immortal\'s summons, gradually becoming gentle and calm.
The green wind gathered beneath Exiled Immortal\'s feet, intertwining to form emerald wings that spread open from his back!
Yes, it was a new storm!
A storm under the control of Exiled Immortal, a green storm!
The immense suction power seemed to pull everything around it, like a giant mouth wanting to swallow everything and still yearning for more!
So, Exiled Immortal set his sights on the sandstorm!
In just a few breaths, Exiled Immortal seemed to become the eye of the storm, letting the green wind tear through everything in the world, rapidly expanding!
"Is... is that the kid Exiled Immortal?"
Seeing this, Old Mac was almost too shocked to speak.
Looking at the enormous tornado nearly level with the sandstorm, Old Mac instinctively stepped back a few paces, stumbling and collapsing to the ground.
"This is a miracle!"
Old Mac was right; it was a miracle!
The SSS-level ability [Master of the Wind] was a miracle itself!
As the green tornado\'s scale nearly surpassed the sandstorm, Exiled Immortal raised his arm and shouted!
"Smash it for me!"
With his command, the green tornado let out a deafening roar and actually began to charge toward the sandstorm!
In the distance, beyond the storm, Lily suddenly noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Shocked, she nudged Helena beside her.
"He-Helena, look..."
Helena, puzzled, followed Lily\'s pointing finger, and the sight before her was something she would never forget.
There, above the mine, two storms that seemed to connect heaven and earth were slowly colliding.
The turbulent crosswinds threatened to tear everything around them to shreds.
Even from over ten kilometers away, Helena could feel the terrifying impact, with sand flying wildly!
"What on earth... is happening?"
"Come on! Is that all you\'ve got! Hahahaha!"
At the center of the tornado!
Exiled Immortal\'s clothes flapped wildly, his hair seemingly dyed green by the tornado, dancing in the wind!
At this moment, he looked like a deity from Mount Olympus, controlling all the storms in the world.
In John\'s witness, Exiled Immortal manipulated the tornado, forcefully tearing a gap in the sandstorm, forcing it to a halt!
"Run? You still think you can run? Get back here!"
Seeing Shadows of the Past attempting to escape, Exiled Immortal casually waved his hand, and the green wind instantly swept over, binding Shadows of the Past tightly and hurling it heavily towards the mine where John and Old Mac were!
Witnessing this, John grabbed Old Mac by the collar and threw him deeper into the mine, using the recoil to leap out himself and cling to the scaffolding, barely avoiding the impact!
It wouldn\'t be an exaggeration to say that if he had been hit directly by such a terrifying force, John would be heading to the Abyss to drink with Deception right now.
"Sorry, slipped..."
Seeing John in such a sorry state, Exiled Immortal stuck out his tongue, about to say something when his face suddenly turned pale!
"Damn... overdid it..."
With those words, the green wind around Exiled Immortal instantly disappeared. He felt his vision go black and completely lost consciousness.
Fortunately, Exiled Immortal\'s fall was not too far from John. This time, John didn\'t miss that crucial centimeter and grabbed Exiled Immortal\'s ankle firmly.
"What a damn lunatic..."
Breathing a sigh of relief, John hauled Exiled Immortal back into the mine, then climbed back up the scaffolding himself.
By now, Old Mac was already in tears.
He knelt silently beside the tattered and barely alive Shadows of the Past, who had been ravaged by Exiled Immortal.
"So, this is Shadows of the Past..."
A complete monster, its level 55 signified its formidable strength.
Unfortunately, Shadows of the Past didn\'t have the chance to demonstrate its might before being almost instantly annihilated by Exiled Immortal.
But... how could this be?
Even though his century-long wish had finally been fulfilled, Old Mac didn\'t seem happy.
"Is it just... over like this? So what exactly is Shadows of the Past? Why did it appear, and why did it haunt me for so many years? It had countless opportunities to kill me, yet it never did?"
Shadows of the Past was dead, but Old Mac\'s questions remained unanswered.
In fact, there was a high probability these questions would never be answered in his lifetime.
"John, is the kid Exiled Immortal alright?"
Old Mac turned to look at the unconscious Exiled Immortal, smiling bitterly. "I even said I would protect you all, but now it seems utterly ridiculous."
"He\'s passed out from overexertion, but overall, he doesn\'t have any serious injuries. He\'ll be fine after a few days of rest. As for that storm... Honestly, you\'re not the only one shocked. It\'s the first time I\'ve seen Exiled Immortal display such terrifying power. As you can see, it took a toll on him too."
"Regardless, thank you, both of you. If it weren\'t for you and Exiled Immortal, I probably would never have been able to kill Shadows of the Past in my lifetime."
Old Mac struggled to his feet.
After a moment of silence, he began dragging the body of Shadows of the Past towards the entrance of the mine.
Seeing this, John quickly asked, "Mac, are you taking its body back?"
"No, taking it back is pointless. Just leave it here, let it continue being a terrifying creature that only exists in rumors."
"But this way, no one will believe that Shadows of the Past really existed. If you bring it back, you can silence those people, can\'t you?"
"There\'s no need for that. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, people won\'t believe what they don\'t want to believe.
Besides, if I took it back, I would always be tempted to dwell on it. It\'s better to end it here. Shadows of the Past is dead, and my questions and doubts should disappear with it."
With that, Old Mac grunted and with great effort, threw the body of Shadows of the Past off the cliff.
At that moment, a notification of a successfully completed side quest popped up before John\'s eyes, and the rewards were granted.
John\'s level increased to 57, making him the undisputed top player on the server, surpassing even Helena by five levels!
As John opened his inventory to check the quest rewards, he could hardly believe his eyes.
[Echo of Shadows of the Past] (One-time Use Item)
Quality: [Legendary]
Effect: [Once used, summons Shadows of the Past (Level 55) to fight for two hours. During this period, Shadows of the Past will be absolutely obedient.]
Description: [What is remembered lives on.]
Even though it was a one-time-use item, it was incredibly valuable!
After all, this was the first [Legendary] item John had obtained since his rebirth, and it was just from completing a side quest!
However, there was a slight disappointment: it seemed that Exiled Immortal, Helena, and the others did not receive any rewards, as their levels remained unchanged.
It made sense though; Exiled Immortal was unconscious when the quest was completed, and Helena and Lily were out of the quest range.
If everyone had been present, they would have each received a [Legendary] item or equipment, which was quite a pity.
Lost in thought, John heard someone calling his name.
He looked up and saw Helena leaning over the top of the mine, waving at him.
"John! Mac! Are you okay?"
"We\'re fine! What about Lily? Is she hurt?"
"I\'m not hurt, Johnny!"
Hearing this, John finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then turned to Old Mac, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "Mac, do you remember what Exiled Immortal said earlier?"
"Wh-what did he say?"
"He said that once this is over, you need to forge twenty longswords as a reward. You might not have heard it clearly, but I did.
So, don\'t think you can get out of it! Exiled Immortal fought so hard; he deserves that reward."
