Chapter 19: Unlimited wind technique!!!
Back at the Air nation—
Lord Paige Kalliester and his soldiers had returned from their massacre of the water nation.
They felt quite satisfied this time.
There were no jubilant scenes as they had lost about one-third of their soldiers but they had dealt a hard blow where necessary.
Lord Paige Kalliester entered a particular building, which was the holy temple of the Air nation.
Only exulted 'priests' and someone with high authority such as himself was permitted to enter.
The temple signified the presence of gods in every nation.
Many of the other nations had lost their gods to war as they fought one another, however, some gods managed to stay alive through cunning means and seize power at the very end.
One of such gods is that of the air nation.
As Lord Paige Kalliester entered the temple, he saw all the high priests bowing and retreating as if noticing an unapproachable beast coming in they were worshipping.
A cool breeze blew into the temple, and immediately Lord Paige Kalliester bowed in front of the altar;
"My Lord..."
He said with a trembling voice.
A voice rang out that made the very air split as if meeting a colossal, unmovable air wall;
"Paige, my servant, you've not done me proud this time, I asked you to get rid of that one person who could challenge my authority, yet you're going around killing other nation members if you kill them all, who would be left to serve under my rule?"
Paige gritted his teeth as anger seeped into him.
At this time, he remembered all the sacrifices he had made over the years. He decided to ignore his kowtow nature and he spoke without fear;
"You made me ignore the love of my life and even attack her people, for years, she felt I turned against her and attacked her for nothing all these were to prove to you that I was not blinded by love."
"The very thing I asked for in exchange was the Air nation unlimited wind technique, the highest power that can be used by a level 4 air elemental."
"Till today you've just been telling me if I complete this mission or that mission you would give it to me. Right now I don't care anymore, I've lost just too much in such a short window of time."
"l quit being the vanguard and leader of this ridiculous nation that knows only killing as their major resource"
Paige Kalliester spoke with so much venom and anger. He couldn't bear to hide the frustration he felt.
The wind god blew hot air and forcibly threw Kalliester at a wall with such a speed that his back made a crack and a dent at the point where he collided with the wall.
Suddenly, the wind came together to form the silhouette of a man walking like the very extension of the wind.
"You dare talk to me in such a manner, boy, do you have a death wish?"
The voice came with a force that pushed Lord Paige further into the wall.
Lord Paige Kalliester was bleeding from all his orifices as the intense wind was cutting into him, the back of his head was drenched.
'l could eliminate you with a single thought. You are brazen to challenge me in this manner."
The wind god bellowed.
Lord Paige was silent but there was a rage about him that he could not conceal.
He managed to bow while being impaled on the wall with the fierce wind that held on to him firmly.
"l am sorry master!" He managed to say with gritted teeth.
"l will give you another chance this time but if you manage to challenge me once more boy, you'd be dead before you got to finish your sentence."
"This time, go and kill that boy and subdue other nations rather than a needless massacre, I need their submission and not their dead bodies."
"l still have two more gods to kill before I reign supreme as the only existing god of all nations, here is the power I promised you, now go before I change my mind" the wind god completed.
A scroll carried by wind dropped to the floor and the forceful air dispersed without a trace.
Lord Paige Kalliester dropped to the floor with a thud and managed to regain his breath.
He looked at the scroll and every ounce of dissatisfaction he felt disappeared.
He had wanted that scroll since a millennium and a half years ago.
He had searched and demanded of the god of the air nation, who saw through his ambition and decided to use it for his selfish interest.
Promoting Lord Paige to the highest rank in the realm and wielding him like a sword to fight all the battles he needed to fight without making an appearance.
After fighting for so long and not getting what he truly wanted, even betraying his lover in the process, he felt it was unfair.
But now, as he held on to the scroll in his hands he felt every sacrifice worth it.
Immediately after that, the scroll merged with him, the scroll of power contains a technique called the unlimited wind technique.
This ability makes an air elemental bearer ascend in abilities similar to a rank 5 air elemental control.
Its power could cause a wind tsunami to blow through a nation and destroy everything in its path.
It is called unlimited because nothing else can stop it when it starts and its power is not limited to the strength of the user.
Just after merging, a surge of strength flowed through Lord Paige Kalliester's body.
He felt like he was one with the wind.
Without even trying, his body was floating. It felt as light as feather.
He had been stuck at level 4 for quite some time and had gotten frustrated, but with the argument of the scroll, he ascended into level 5 without an itch.
He could feel his power rising.
Every single part of him could feel the air.
His aura extended throughout the air nation.
At this level, every bearer around would feel an insurmountable presence, one whose command of the air element was almost godlike.
He walked with a confidence that could rival a god, every step he took pushed his feet off the ground like the earth's gravitation pull had little effect on him.
He floated out with a smile as he snickered,
'Foolish god" and he flew away...
