Ice shards and sharp winds intertwined in a deadly dance, threatening to tear anything that ended up in between them to shreds. In the middle of this mayhem, Roley and Jerigh were using most of their power to avoid being dragged out the storm’s power. Unfortunately, their power was not enough, and after one or two minutes, they were ultimately pushed out with heavy injuries.
Der, which had now put the body of the grey condor into his spatial ring, imdiately dashed towards the two falling young n, grabbing Jerigh before he could hit the rocky ground.
After Daniel noticed that one of his two friends was safe, he opened a portal right under the falling Roley, which after crossing through, teleported him directly in front of him. He then moved his arm forward, and grabbed Roley’s clothes with ease, before injecting powerful waves of healing essence into him.
Locked in the middle of the storm, were the Ancient Red Carp, and the Rainbow-Plud Hawk, which sent powerful attacks against each other, and barely left any ti for their opponent to react. The powerful winds, ice shards, and droplets of water were starting to rge into a massive world-ending hurricane.
While Daniel observed the fight, he quickly ca to the realization that, sooner or later, the red carp would end up losing. Aside from the power that it needed to use to keep itself high up in the air, the water which the mid level water spheres were providing for it to fight with, were not as devastating as the wind that the perfect wind sphere was sending in the hawk’s way. Therefore, the longer the fight dragged on, the more the hawk-like beast would gain an edge over it.
Daniel was considering whether he should help or not, but then, he turned to look at the massive tree from which the oppressive winds were generated. An idea quickly ca to his mind, and after finishing to heal Roley, he turned towards him and said "Roley, go take Buriath, Leffe, and Wolfie.. Co out the mont I unlock the pocket dinsion."
Roley nodded in confirmation, and teleported into the ring that he was wearing in his ring finger, which then Daniel grabbed in mid air, and put on his own finger before turning towards the large tree, and flying in its direction at full speed.
The closer Daniel got to this three, the more he felt the wind push him back. He quickly ca to the realization of how powerful a non-controlled perfect sphere could be. The high-level water and wind spheres which he had created were powerful enough to create a small sea, and fill the sky with breathable air, and at the sa ti, while also heavily controlled, the wood and earth spheres had changed the entire layout of his small world, filling it with dirt, soil, and trees. Even the tal and fire spheres, which were the most heavily suppressed, had turned a massive cave into a tallic den, and a mountain into a volcano.
At just a hundred ters of distance from the origin of these winds, Daniel was unable to deviate the powerful gales, and his clothes ended up being turned into tatters. Small cuts had started to form on his skin, which quickly shone with dull white lights before closing back up.
ter by ter Daniel kept advancing, feeling the blades of wind beco sharper, and cutting deeper. He felt as if he had dived directly into a pool filled with knives, and yet, he kept going.
At fifty ters, he had to cover his throat with his hand in order to avoid having it slit by a random gust of wind, and at forty ters, he was forced to shield his stomach with a tallic plaque that he had created out of his own immortal essence, in order to avoid damages to his organs.
When he reached the twenty ters of distance, he was finally able to see the wind sphere, as well as two small beings which looked like two chicks halfway to their adult stage, but that were completely made out of wind. There was no doubt in Daniel’s mind that these two beings were newly born wind elental.
So scholars from Daniel’s world of origin had hypothesized that the reason why elentals were animal-shaped at the mont of their birth, was because of an ethereal consciousness that mana possessed, which registered the shape and type of beasts that road their domain, and when elentals were born, this information would be added to the comprehension of their elent as added information.
So others had claid that it was the elentals themselves that, after obtaining a certain level of consciousness, would observe and gather information about the types of beings that lived the world, and would take their shape in order to fit in more easily.
Daniel was not sure of why the elentals took the shapes that they did, but he was sure that the latter example was untrue, as he had spectated to the birth of an elental of tal essence, and there was no doubt that Wolfie hadn’t had the chance to observe a wolf before forming.
Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that there was so sort of information passed down along with the comprehension of the essence, the mont the elentals ford.
Despite the reason why, Daniel had finally managed to approach the two chicks, which looked at him with suspicion. The surrounding winds had started to focus more on Daniel’s position than ever before, indication that he wasn’t welco by the two elentals. The only difference between these winds and the previous ones, was that these ones were not sharp, and instead only tried to push him off of the imnse tree.
These two chicks were nowhere near powerful enough to injure Daniel, so, he ejected a large amount of immortal essence from his hand, and sent it to encase the perfect wind sphere, which looked like a gaseous planet that spun in place at a speed so fast, that made it look almost still.
The mont the immortal essence covered the sphere, the winds suddenly stopped being generated. The wind sphere had been suppressed, and yet Daniel had not taken it. Instead, he removed the spatial block on his pocket dinsion, and allowed Roley to co out along with the three elentals Buriath, Leffe, and wolfie.
As soon as the three elentals appeared, the two previously alert chicks cald down significantly. There was sothing within elentals that told them not to feel fear amongst themselves. It was like finding soone from your own country while traveling far away from ho.. Not bounding was almost impossible.

At the sa ti, the hawk-like beast had lost its edge completely, and now needed to use a much larger amount of power to create his own winds to attack, rendering it unable to use its sheer speed to avoid the oppressive attacks of the red carp.
Inside the body of the hurricane, winds had diminished significantly, and most of what remained, was a two kiloters thick, columnar vortex of water, which fell right under the control of the red carp.
Bit by bit, this column compacted around the red carp, decreasing in size more and more, until finally, its shape replicated the very sa red carp that it was encasing. This massive watery fish floated in the air, fully under the carp’s control.
The hawk-like beast tried to break the water construct created by the red carp, but it was useless, as the blades of wind that it created by waving its powerful and large wings were only able to pierced through a few ters of water, before being ejected out of it in the shape of bubbles.
The fight went on for a few more minutes, until finally, exhausted by the constant fighting, and from being unable to escape due to the relentless water attacks of the red carp, the hawk-like beast was ultimately encased in a thick layer of water.
It desperately tried more than once to escape from it just like it had done two weeks earlier. Unfortunately, this ti the hawk-like beast lacked the support of the powerful winds, which along with the oppressive tiredness that was growing in his body, and the lack of space of maneuver, had forced it to a state where he could only watch as the thick encasing of water closed in on it..
In just a minute, the hawk-like beast was stuck into a massive globe of water from which it could not escape, and after five more minutes, it drowned.

Back on the tree, Leffe observed the two young chicks for a few seconds, then said "They are really the age they look.. That’s odd. If the sphere has been here for a thousand years, there should be a few fully grown wind elentals around."
"The three flying beasts must have killed them.." Said Buriath while Wolfie approached the two chicks, and started to sniff them out. There was no reason for Wolfie to do that, as it wasn’t a real wolf, but that sort of behaviour was also part of what was passed down when it had beco conscious, just like the slithering of the earth elentals when in their snake form.
Daniel looked at Buriath, and said with curiosity "Why would they do that?"
"It’s actually easy to guess." Interjected Leffe before Buriath could respond. The two had beco great friends now, and Leffe was aware that Buriath didn’t like to talk as much as he did, so he would often take his place in explaining when possible. "Were the beasts friendly with each other?"
"Not really." Responded Daniel plainly.
"They must have known that the body of an elental can sotis turn into a treasure during the mont of their death, and were likely hoping to produce more perfect treasures to split amongst them before separating.. That must have been why only the fastest one dared to move away from the tree." Said Leffe with a matter-of-fact tone. "How foolish of them.. In order to obtain that level of sphere from an elental’s corpse, they would have had to wait tens of thousands of years."
Unable to know if that was the case, Daniel turned to look at the two wind elentals. He could see that they were now more curious than scared, so, he activated ’Ti is Precious’, and pushed all of his immortal essence out of his body.
The invisible immortal essence slowly moved towards the mountain like three, and after it touched its bark, it used it to spread all over it. It took more than an hour before the imnse tree was fully surrounded by Daniel’s immortal essence.
"Dan, what are you-" Said Roley before being interrupted by a shocking sight.
A powerful shockwave had suddenly spread from the point where the mountain-sized tree previously was, caused by the sudden switching of its area, with an identical empty area which ca directly from inside the pocket dinsion.
In a mont, Daniel had teleported the imnse tree, the wind sphere, and the two wind elentals on an extrely large island which was near the coast of the mainland, within his pocket dinsion.
"Why did you take the tree?" asked Roley in confusion.
"That tree resisted the full power of a perfect wind essence sphere.. Why not." Responded Daniel casually before turning back to look at the red carp which quietly floated in the distance next to a massive water sphere which contained the corpse of the hawk-like beast.
Daniel approached the red carp, and the mont he was in earshot, he said while pointing at the lifeless body of the flying beast "I figured you would have wanted to take a revenge on it.. After all the ti he spent tornting you"
The red carp was feeling a lot of emotions, which had caused it to be unable to respond to Daniel’s words right away. It was only after a good minute, that it said "Thank you."
