BXBX NOVEL Chapter 430 - Sylphis
Vayu started moving in speeds that even Adrian could bare catch but that also meant the was losing stamina at a fast pace. Although the lost of stamina is halved foe half elementals, it is still significant as his enemy does not lose stamina.
"What is he battling?" Anastacia stated as he commanded everyone to huddle. She also told the assassins and Alder to catch the enemy off guard.
"He is fighting an elemental that is one step away from being an elemental king." Alder stated as he could see the fight thanks to his Elemental Sight that could see the forms of elementals.
"It is a named elemental so we should expect that it is in the level of a boss." Adrian added.
Monster: Sylphis
Type: Higher Elemental
Tier: Epic
Level: 200
Description: A wind elemental said to be the bringer of harsh wind and storms. It can come and go as it pleases as its body is purely made of magic particles consisting of the wind element. It is extremely fast and difficult to deal with in open areas. This higher elemental has been captured for hundreds of years and warped by the Mad Warlock.
The end of the exchange between Vayu and Sylphis came to an end when the former was sent flying to the group. Even the assassins that were told to assist him could only watch as their attacks pass right through the body of the higher elemental.
"Why are you doing this?" Vayu asked and the form of the high elemental could be seen by everyone.
The higher elemental looked like a teenager with clothes almost like Vayu. The hair of this higher elemental is ash gray with a length of two meters. The most distinguishable part of it would be the freely flowing hair and clothes in the wind. It even floated about two feet above the floor.
"Why? Nothing big because it is fun!" Syplhis answered as its eyes became black.
Adrian used his evil eye to see if the high elemental is controlled. Upon activating his evil eye, he could see that the high elemental is covered in two different energies. One of the energies is the wind element while the other is corrupted energy that is only found in followers of the dark gods.
The high elemental is also exuding unclean air which meant that it is no longer normal. Adrian is rather regretting in meeting this high elemental. A higher leveled opponent with intelligence is never a great sign.
"The high elemental might look normal, but it is no longer a pure elemental. It has been tainted by the corrupted energies. The only way to save it is to vanquish it." Adrian stated.
Vayu and Soleil frowned as they considered the elementals as family. They knew that they have to vanquish one of their own in order for its soul to reincarnate. Elementals are mostly spiritual creatures but that does not mean they cannot die.
Elementals are reincarnated through the Will of the World. It is often referred to as the Great Cycle by the elementals. Once an elemental die, it scatters its essence in the area and reincarnate as a lower elemental.
"Any idea how to fight a wind elemental?" Mariposa asked as her soulbounds are not fast enough to fight with it. Even her praying mantis could do nothing and got killed.
"Why not ask one?" Levin Cloud replied as they waited for Vayu to explain. Surprisingly, it was Alder who answered.
"Elementals follow the rule of the elements. Water beats fire, fire beats earth, earth beats wind, and wind beats water. Of course, the elemental advantages can only apply in fair matchups." Alder answered as he is an Elemental Sniper who has contracted four greater elementals.
"Power of the Earth! Grace my arrows!" Alder stated as he buffed his bow. It became covered with a green sheen.
"Sirius, play with the elemental." Adrian commanded as he judged that Sirius could go toe to toe with the Higher Elemental.
"Well, you guys are no fun." Sylphis pouted as it snapped its fingers.
Upon the snap of the higher elemental\'s fingers, numerous small dark misty beings appeared. They were humanoid in shape but only had the height of one meter.
Monster: Greater Wind Elemental Abomination
Tier: Rare
Level: 190
Description: Tormented wind elementals that have been twisted by the Mad Warlock. They now propagate deadly fumes rather than cleaning the air that they inhabit. If they come in contact to flames, they will spontaneously combust.
"Combust!" Soleil stated as a torrent of flames.
"Fudge." Adrian released as a loud explosion covered the area that they are in.

The top guilds except for the Evergreen gathered in a kingdom. The heads of the guilds are now planning to join the coalition of the human kingdoms. They are waiting for the broadcast of the holy kingdom so that they could join the group.
"You know that we have better chances of winning if we joined the side of the demons. They have a whole group of other races that the continent has not even seen. Heck, I want to be in that group." Ain stated.
"You are not the only one but even we are not sure where they are having their meetings. A demon is leading them so they could be in another dimension for all we know. Even scouts for every top guild have no idea where the meeting is taking place." Faust stated.
"The undead seemed to be in that faction and I believe that they have a better chance of succeeding. The Church of Light is making it difficult for other to rely on races which are not considered as \'human\'. I can even say that their hatred comes from inferiority." Faust added.
"I do not know about you, but I find it odd that the Evergreen guild is not here with us. Even your guild master is absent." Ain questioned Faust.
"Our guild master is doing a quest relevant to this dark god. Do not worry as we told you that we will be in need of your help in the quest. We were going to ask the Evergreen guild to help us as well, but it seems the higher ups in their organization is out of commission at the moment." Faust stated.
"I do not blame though as their power decreased when Neo Alfheim got destroyed. Elves got their strengths reduced as the world tree died. Every elf in the continent even got the quest to restore the world tree. They are basically trying to climb back up." Ain stated.
"I believe it is different from what you might think." Faust stated as he saw that Anastacia, Mariposa and Equinox\' name were grayed out which means they are unreachable.
