"What's the matter, great giant, why won't you come over?" Nasi looked at him with confusion.
"What is this thing?"
The next second, she noticed something unusual, flapping her wings as she flew perplexed in front of Colin, and carefully stretched out her hand, yet touched nothing.
"Great giant, you scared little Nasi," she exclaimed, "There's clearly nothing here!"
Colin did not respond, furrowing his brow as he watched Nasi go back and forth, seemingly passing through an invisible barrier in front of him as if it were not there.
He subconsciously activated his Supersensitive Vision while releasing the Detecting Three Abilities.
Whoosh~Whoosh!
Nasi kept shuttling back and forth, seemingly to prove that she had seen through his trick.
Colin's brow tightened, as neither Supersensitive Vision nor Detecting Three Abilities provided any useful information.
Apart from the solid sensation in his hand, there was nothing else to prove the existence of the invisible barrier in front of him.
Hoo~hoo——
Just then, Colin suddenly moved his ears and looked behind him.
Dark red, glass-like branches crisscrossed, obscuring the view.
Yet the faint voices were not blocked, coming through every tiny gap.
Behind him, in the distant place, it seemed that a strong wind had arisen...
And then, in an instant, the sound of the wind suddenly became clear!
"Hoo~"
"Hoo hoo hoo~"
The piercing wind first came from one of the gaps, then another!
Breezes came together to form a larger gust, causing Colin's wizard's robe to flutter violently...
"Great giant, stop teasing little Nasi, come inside!" Nasi suddenly called out anxiously, "Little Nasi just remembered the wind is blowing, hurry inside, great giant, it's going to be very hot!"
"The wind... it gets hot?" Colin said in surprise, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be spirits... He had never heard of a wind that got hotter as it blew!
Hiss——!
Just as he was thinking this, an odd rustling suddenly arose from the forest in front of him.
Rustle rustle, as if some cold snake was slithering along.
In the next moment!
The "wind," dark red with hints of purple fragments, drilled out of the gaps in the forest.
Like the previous breeze, initially, it was alone, and then they gathered together, forming a dark red curtain, slowly pressing down on him, covering the sky and land.
"Not good!" Colin's expression changed as he rapidly surveyed his surroundings.
This dark red wind with purple specks had filled the whole world in the blink of an eye!
Whether above his head or beneath his feet, whether to the left or the right, from all around, it was all this strange wind!
"No escape!" Colin's face darkened as he increased the Steel Temperature Resistance Field to its maximum strength, while at the same time, summoning the hidden Elf Armor within his body!
The dark red wind seemed slow but was, in fact, incredibly swift.
By the time he had completed these two actions, the wind had already reached him!
Tss!
As soon as it touched the dark red wind, the Steel Temperature Resistance Field violently fluctuated, and the Magic Power inside his body was rapidly depleted; a sudden hot surge rushed to his head.
Colin turned pale, clenching his teeth as he struggled to hold on.
It was then he understood why the little elf Nasi had said the wind felt hot.
This heat wasn't a heat of temperature but an internal burning heat.
As if immersed in scorching molten rock, a sinister flame suddenly ignited within his heart, spreading rapidly as if to burn him up from the inside out!
At the same time, the annoying, mysterious whispers from nowhere suddenly resounded directly in his mind.
"Amis... Eternal Wind... the magnificent painter..."
It was like being struck on the head with a heavy hammer; Colin's vision blurred for a moment, and his will plummeted like a receding tide.
If one observed in a Supersensitive state, it would be visible that the glow of humanity and knowledge on his body seemed to be under attack, flickering uncertainly...
"No... I can't!"
Colin forcefully shook his head, his gaze momentarily clearing, then his face turned ferocious as he opened his mouth and bit down hard on his tongue.
"Ugh!"
Blood flowed from his tongue, filling his mouth with the taste of iron, making him cry out in pain, but his complexion revived slightly from the shock.
However, pain was just a temporary measure, and the clarity it brought was only short-lived.
Moments later, he fell back into a state of vague consciousness, only aware of desperately maintaining the Steel Defense Field and Elf Armor on his body.
Time ticked by second by second.
Colin's Magic Power gradually decreased.
To maintain the Steel Defense Field, he unconsciously began to withdraw the Soaring and Flying Technique and landed on the ground.
The dark red wind was not only eerie but also extremely powerful.
The strong wind force caused Colin's figure to gradually retreat, leaving a clear trail in the ground with his feet.
But despite the great wind force, the glass-like shrubs and ancient trees seemed utterly unaffected, not even swaying in the slightest.
After some time, his legs seemed to become somewhat weak as well.
Then, in an instant, whoosh, Colin was suddenly swept up and thrown backwards.
Bang!
He fell to the ground like a heavy sack, dirt splashing everywhere!
"Great giant!"
Little elf Nasi quickly flew over.
Ever since the wind started, she had been anxiously calling from behind, even trying to fly towards Colin, but ultimately she was unable to advance an inch because of the powerful wind.
"Cough cough..."
Perhaps it was the impact of falling to the ground, but Colin suddenly regained clarity.
He subconsciously wanted to retrieve the Foolishness Scepter to reapply a stronger Mechanical Mind upon himself, but at that moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
