Komayla’s gaze hesitated for a long time, as if a conflict was raging within its mind. Finally, it sighed deeply, deciding not to pursue Lobal for now and to return to Kraken instead.
As for Lobal, if "it" truly is Lobal, with Tails acting as the strategist, even when facing the Wind Island’s defenders, there should be a way to escape... Of course, the premise is that the Head is willing to listen to the Tail’s advice.
After making the decision, Komayla immediately turned around, aiming to catch up with Kraken.
However, as it retreated not long after, a vague figure appeared in the Mist ahead.
Komayla stopped, the gaze from the lion’s head serious: "Why are you here? Where is Kraken?"
At this moment, the one appearing before the lion’s head was Angel.
Angel: "Kraken, is it that octopus? I thought you’d ask what happened to the Tri-headed Lionhound first, after all, weren’t you pursuing it initially?"
Komayla immediately caught the implication in Angel’s words: "Was Lobal’s abnormal behavior earlier your doing?"
Angel smiled without answering, but his demeanor made it obvious to Komayla what the answer was.
Komayla’s gaze immediately darkened. Among the four great wind generals under Lord Hurricane, Komayla and Lobal, both being three-headed creatures, shared the closest bond.
Now, Angel’s actions suggested he seemed to have done something to Lobal.
This made Komayla extremely angry.
Emir, one of the four great wind generals, had already self-destructed into oblivion. Would Lobal follow suit? Thinking of this, Komayla’s eyes began to change, the color of the pupils in the lion’s head gradually turning from dark blue to bright red, a sign that its fury was about to erupt.
Komayla forcefully suppressed its rising anger, wanting to continue inquiring Angel about Lobal’s current state.
However, Angel no longer spoke at this time, occasionally raising an eyebrow, adding tension to Komayla’s already taut nerves.
In the end, Komayla didn’t want to ask anymore and roared, "You deserve to die!"
Komayla then transformed into a sharp arrow, carrying immense anger, charging towards Angel, who still had a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Facing Komayla’s fiery assault, Angel did not collide with it directly but instead distanced himself while occasionally throwing some harassing Tricks, constantly stoking Komayla’s rage.
Under such provocation, Komayla’s fury only intensified, but when it reached its peak, it stopped the chase. This didn’t mean Komayla had calmed down but that it realized Angel was far faster than it in terms of speed. Continuing the chase, even if it exhausted the opponent’s energy, who knows how long it would take.
So, Komayla decided to use that move.
Komayla took a deep breath, and from the pitch-black throat of the massive lion’s head, a red glow suddenly emerged.
In Angel’s astonished gaze, a scorching wind column, surpassing everything in speed, shot straight towards him.
Even though Angel tried to evade with all his speed, he was slightly too slow to notice, and his left hand was directly obliterated by the high-temperature wind column.
The disappearance of his left hand caused a look of pain on Angel’s face, his gaze towards Komayla changing from calmness to anger and ferocity.
Upon seeing this, Komayla felt a rush of satisfaction. However, amidst this pleasure, it failed to notice that no blood flowed from Angel’s severed left arm. But even if Komayla did notice, it might not care, as after all, in the Tidal World, elemental creatures wouldn’t bleed even if they lost limbs.
Because of this successful strike, the scales of anger began to change direction. Previously, Komayla was chasing down Angel, but now Angel, in anger, sought opportunities to find Komayla’s weaknesses to settle the score once and for all.
However, amidst the rampant high-temperature wind columns, Angel found it difficult to approach, and even getting a little closer brought significant harm.
Finally, Angel found an opportunity, dodged the high-temperature wind column from the lion’s head, and approached Komayla’s side, launching a Wind Blade straight at Komayla’s waist and abdomen.
At that moment, the lion’s head of Komayla didn’t react angrily but instead smiled, a sense of satisfaction at its plan’s success flashing in its eyes.
In Angel’s horrified eyes, the sheep’s head at the waist, which had remained silent, suddenly opened its mouth, spewing a massive tornado akin to the double-power wind column of the Tri-headed Lionhound!
Angel used every bit of his strength to barely dodge this wind column, ending up behind Komayla.
The python, which Komayla treated as a tail, suddenly raised its snake’s head and transformed into a whip, striking towards Angel.
With a successful strike, several of Angel’s Phantom Limbs were shattered.
As Angel hurriedly retreated, the snake’s head opened its fang-filled mouth, spewing a green, foul-smelling wind column straight at Angel’s face.
Angel’s head exploded instantly, and even his body ceased moving, plummeting stiffly below into the Cloud Sea.
Watching this scene, Komayla couldn’t help but let out an excited roar!
No matter how fast he could run, in the end, he was still brought down by her "strategy"!
Now that Angel is dead, the task given by Lord Hurricane is complete. The next move is to find Kraken and locate Lobal.
Since it encountered Angel first, Kraken is most certainly unharmed. Therefore, retracing the previous route to find Lobal should be the top priority.
Thinking of this, Komayla turned around, intending to seek out Lobal’s whereabouts.
However, at this moment, a voice came from behind.
"The lion’s head is hot wind, the sheep’s head is a hurricane, and the snake’s head is a poisonous wind. So, this is your ability? I must say, it’s quite diverse." A crisp voice reached Komayla’s ears.
Komayla turned its head, shocked to find that the previously exploded-headed Angel was now standing not far away, without a single sign of damage, looking like he had just taken a leisurely stroll.
"How... how are you unscathed?"
Angel didn’t answer, instead continuing, "The winds from your three heads are all wind columns. The energy structure is quite similar to the turbine wind column of the Tri-headed Lionhound... Hmm, or Lobal, as you call it. Did you develop your abilities by borrowing from it?"
Komayla was bewildered at this point, nodding subconsciously.
"Is that so? What a pity. Both yours and Lobal’s abilities are remarkable, but the development is really terrible." Angel sighed. "If Fafnir were here and saw such a crude ability, I imagine he’d beat you back into basic wind elements in anger."
Komayla didn’t know who this Fafnir mentioned by Angel was, but now it only wanted to understand, who was it that had its head blown off earlier?
Komayla asked, and Angel calmly replied, "Do you really think, in battle, that your opponent will tell you what his abilities are? If you really want to know, like I did before, you should find out for yourself."
With these words, a dim light flashed in Angel’s eyes. From behind him emerged dozens of identical ’Angels’, each charging towards Komayla.
