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

I directed my finger at her, triggering the Law of Polarity. An intense drawing force targeted her spot, hauling her down like the world below was seizing her. Her wings spread out broadly, laws of wind and sound firing up together as she fought back against the tug. Fierce gusts whirled about her, resisting the unseen power aiming to hold her down.

Instead of ramping up the pull suddenly, I built it up slowly, making her burn through greater amounts of energy to fight it off. Her form dropped bit by bit toward the split earth underneath. Annoyance crossed her features as she fired off three keen-edged wind cutters right at me. With an easy twist of my hand, the cutters 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 steady for a solid retaliation, I stomped my foot on the earth. Power flowed down, and a huge blast went off right under him, hurling his bulky shape skyward. Out from the blast's rear, another dirt hand emerged, grabbing him in the air and then smashing him back down with devastating might.

BOOM!

Right then, a fierce blast rang out from the flank. I glanced sideways and spotted the lightning Elemental slamming into the dirt as one of the chasing strikes hit her at last. Before she could bounce back, the other strikes followed quickly one after another.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

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

I shifted my complete focus to the Feran woman, now floating only meters from the soil, gripped tightly by the strengthening grip of polarity.

"It wouldn't look good if I only hurt the other two. Equality for all, you see," I said casually while eyeing the Feran.

Wind collected at my finger ends as I called upon the element, and slim blades shorter than a digit started shaping in the sky nearby. One turned to ten, ten to hundreds, and in moments, thousands of packed wind fragments floated in a thick cluster. With a gentle wave of my hand, they rushed ahead in a focused barrage.

She pushed hard against the rising draw of polarity, wings stretching out as she created a twisting wind barrier over herself. The whirlwind coiled snugly around her form in multiple spins, built to repel and disperse approaching assaults.

Yet, as soon as the barrier took full shape, the horde of blades hit. The outside spin fell apart first, followed by the inner ones breaking beneath the flood of strikes. The wind blades broke past the remains and ripped into her flesh.

A piercing cry burst from her mouth as blood sprayed over the broken battleground.

"So loud," I commented.

I ramped up the gravity tug abruptly. Her body got pulled down hard and smashed front-first into the broken terrain, the crash silencing her cry. Still, she wouldn't give in, shoving against the dirt with shaking arms while attempting to reactivate her wind laws to ease the weight.

I boosted the pull once more, not in one big jump but bit by bit, making her muscles and laws work under building strain. The surface under her started to crack more as her form sank deeper into it.

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

I pivoted smoothly to confront him.

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

I clicked my fingers.

A slim whirlwind of fire sparked around him, tailored exactly to his huge build. It didn't flare out chaotically; rather, it twisted narrowly, trapping him in a managed pillar of climbing blaze. The twister started to squeeze slowly, and with every turn the heat rose.

He bellowed once more, pounding both fists out to smash free. Lumps of melted stone shot against the flame's inside, but the twister took the hit and kept closing in. His rocky form started to shine dimly at the borders, the dark lines under his skin flashing wildly as the warmth soaked in deeper.

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 fire grew fiercer, changing from orange to searing white at the heart. The surface of his rock body softened, borders losing firmness as parts split and partly melted under the intense warmth. His bellows turned from bold to pained as he fought to hold his shape. At the same time, the lightning Elemental battled inside the pit I'd made for her. Weak flashes danced around her arms as she tried to regain speed. I stretched a slim thread of space squeeze around her, not to smash but to cap the scope of her reshapings, stopping her from scattering totally into lightning once more.

None of them had died. None were anywhere near it.

But all three now grasped the difference.

I gazed among them steadily.

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

The fire twister kept closing on the stone Elemental while melted bits fell from his body. The Feran remained held down and oozing blood on the ground, wings quivering under constant pressure. The lightning Elemental fought to get up in the pit, restricted yet aware.

I crossed my arms.

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

They stayed silent.

The lightning Elemental kept trying to build energy despite the space limit on her. The stone Elemental shoved melted shells out to escape the shrinking fire pillar. The Feran, crushed to the dirt by overpowering polarity, fought the pull even with blood leaking into the split soil below her.

I exhaled slowly.

"Why are you making this difficult for yourselves?" I asked, truly wondering.

I raised my hand a bit.

A fresh violet lightning strike appeared right over the lightning Elemental, hanging for a brief instant. Her eyes grew wide as she felt the power buildup above, but the squeeze around her blocked a complete shift to elemental state.

The strike fell.

It hit her dead on, exploding against her form with a savage rush of electricity. The scent of scorched meat spread as her right arm got cut off at the joint, turned to burned bits by the blow. Her wail cut across the field, sharp and brutal, but my face didn't change.

I shifted my stare to the stone Elemental.

With a light mental nudge, the fire twister grew hotter. The blaze moved to a dazzling white center as the heat soared. The earth under him started to melt, stone becoming gooey liquid that gathered at his base. His surface layers drooped in the warmth, splits growing as inner strain swelled in his build.

He bellowed, but his tone had shed its prior confidence.

The Feran's bones were starting to snap under the mounting push into the soil. She was the worst hurt of the trio, her wind law thrown off by the ongoing hold-down.

I tapped my foot once.

The ground under her waved, and sharp points of solid earth jutted up, stabbing through her arms and chest in careful spots that dodged instant death but locked her in place. Her cry came out stifled into the dirt as blood fanned over the split area.

I moved ahead a step.

"Any answer, friends?"

The Feran cracked first. I sensed the change in her fight before spotting it. The pull in her wind law eased, and the desperate resistance to the polarity tug faded. She quit pushing.

With an easy hand gesture, I drew her up from the dirt. The points pulled back and the smashing force dropped just enough for her to dangle in front of me. Her wings sagged at her back, plumes ripped and drenched in blood, her whole body covered in cuts from the blades and squeeze.

"Yes," I said steadily as I faced her, locking eyes. "I am listening."
