My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 819 I Need Answers

I directed my finger at her and triggered the Law of Polarity. An intense pulling power fixed on her spot, hauling her down like the world below was seizing her. Her wings spread out broadly, activating wind and sound laws at the same time to fight back against the tug. Fierce gusts twisted around her form, resisting the unseen grip aiming to hold her down.

Instead of ramping up the attraction in one go, I built it up slowly, making her burn through more and more energy to hold out. Her figure dropped bit by bit to the broken earth underneath. Annoyance crossed her features as she hurled three keen wind edges right toward me. With an easy twist of my wrist, the edges broke apart before they could get near me.

From my rear, the stone Elemental burst from the debris with a bellow, bits of stone scattering everywhere. Before he could ready a solid strike back, I stomped my foot on the dirt. Essence flowed down, and a huge blast went off right under him, hurling his bulky shape skyward. Out from the blast's cover, another dirt hand emerged, grabbing him while airborne and smashing him back to the earth with brutal power.

BOOM!

Right then, a fierce blast rang out from the flank. I glanced over and spotted the lightning Elemental smashing into the soil as one of the chasing strikes hit her at last. Before she could get her bearings, the other strikes followed in quick bursts.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Every hit dug further into the ruined landscape, creating a huge pit where she lay hurt and fighting to stand.

I shifted my complete focus back to the Feran woman, now floating only a short distance from the surface, trapped in the strengthening grip of polarity.

"It wouldn't look good if I only hurt the other two. Equality for all, you see," I said lightly as I looked at the Feran.

Wind collected at my fingertips as I called upon the element, and slender blades no bigger than a finger started shaping in the air nearby. One turned to ten, ten to hundreds, and in moments, thousands of packed wind pieces floated in a thick array. With a gentle wave of my hand, they rushed ahead in a focused torrent.

She pushed hard against the rising tug of polarity, her wings stretching out as she created a twisting wind barrier around her. The whirlwind coiled snugly over her frame in multiple turns, built to turn aside and disperse assaults coming at her.

Yet, as soon as the barrier was complete, the horde of blades hit. The outer spin crumbled at first, followed by the inner ones breaking under the flood of strikes. The wind blades broke past the remains and ripped into her flesh.

A piercing cry burst from her lips as sprays of blood flew over the split battlefield.

"So loud," I remarked.

I ramped up the gravitational drag suddenly. Her form got yanked down and smashed face-down into the split ground, the crash silencing her cry. Still, she wouldn't give in, shoving against the dirt with shaking arms while trying to reactivate her wind laws to ease the weight.

I boosted the attraction once more, not with one sharp burst but in steady rises, making her muscles and laws stretch under building strain. The soil under her started to crack more as her body sank deeper into it.

From behind, the stone Elemental burst up from the wreckage again, bellowing while pieces of shattered stone dropped from his shoulders.

I pivoted steadily to confront him.

"Tell me," I said, "what happens to stone if you heat it too much?"

I snapped my fingers.

A slim whirlwind of fire sparked up around him, fitted just right to his large build. It didn't spread out chaotically; rather, it twisted closely, trapping him in a managed pillar of climbing blaze. The funnel started to squeeze slowly, and with every turn, the heat rose.

He bellowed once more, pounding both fists out to shatter the barrier. Pieces of melted stone flew against the flame's inner side, but the whirlwind took the blow and kept narrowing. His rocky form started to shine dimly at the borders, the brown lines under his skin flashing wildly as the warmth pierced further.

He tried to bolster himself with his primary law, but I could plainly feel its weakness. His control was basic, hardly at refinement level one. Facing ongoing elemental squeeze, it fell short.

The blaze grew fiercer, changing from orange to searing white at the heart. The surface of his rocky shell started to yield, borders losing firmness as parts split and half-melted under the intense heat. His bellows turned from bold to pained as he fought to keep his shape. At the same time, the lightning Elemental battled in the pit I had made for her. Weak sparks danced around her arms as she sought to regain speed. I sent out a slim thread of spatial squeezing around her, not to smash but to cap the area of her reshaping, stopping her from fully breaking into lightning form again.

Not one of them had died. None came even near.

But every one of the three now grasped the difference.

I glanced among them steadily.

"I asked you for information," I said evenly. "You chose theatrics instead."

The fire funnel kept closing in on the stone Elemental as melted bits fell from his body. The Feran remained pressed and bleeding on the ground, her wings quivering under constant pressure. The lightning Elemental fought to get up in the pit, held back but aware.

I crossed my arms.

"Let's try this again," I said quietly. "Where is the Trunk Gate?"

None replied.

The lightning Elemental kept attempting to build charge even with the spatial limit holding her. The stone Elemental shoved out melting shells to crack the shrinking fire pillar. The Feran, held down by the overwhelming polarity, pushed back against the drag while blood soaked into the broken soil below her.

I released a long sigh.

"Why are you making this difficult for yourselves?" I asked, almost genuinely curious.

I raised my hand a bit.

A fresh bolt of purple lightning appeared right over the lightning Elemental, hanging there for a split second. Her eyes grew wide as she felt the power building above, but the squeeze around her stopped a complete shift into elemental state.

The bolt fell.

It slammed into her dead center, exploding against her with a savage rush of electricity. The scent of scorched skin spread as her right arm got cut off at the shoulder, turned to burned scraps by the hit. Her cry ripped across the battlefield, harsh and unfiltered, but my face stayed unchanged.

I shifted my look to the stone Elemental.

With a quiet urge of intent, the fire whirlwind grew hotter. The flames moved to a dazzling white center as the warmth surged up. The dirt under him started melting, stone becoming a liquid mix that gathered at his base. His surface layers drooped from the blaze, splits growing as inner strain mounted in his form.

He bellowed, but his tone lacked its prior confidence.

The Feran's bones had started snapping under the mounting push grinding her into the soil. She suffered the worst of the trio, her wind law thrown off by the ongoing block.

I tapped my foot once.

The ground under her waved, and sharp points of solid earth thrust up, stabbing through her arms and body in careful spots that spared quick death but locked her in place. Her cry came out choked into the dirt as blood pooled over the split surface.

I moved ahead a step.

"Any answer, friends?"

The Feran cracked first. I sensed the change in her fight before spotting it. The strain in her wind law eased, and the desperate shove against the polarity drag faded. She quit resisting.

With a basic wave of my hand, I lifted her from the soil. The points pulled back and the heavy force lightened just enough for her to dangle in front of me. Her wings hung limp at her back, feathers ripped and drenched in blood, her whole frame covered in cuts from the blades and the crush.

"Yes," I said evenly as I stood in front of her, locking eyes. "I am listening."
