Chapter 1584 The Gnomes Breakthrough (Part One) (1/2)

”Alright,” Austin finally relented, sighing. ”I'll give you everything you want.”

Since the gnome was a huge help to him, Austin would satisfy all his demands. He supposed it was the least he could do to repay the gnome for all the assistance he was giving.

Suddenly, with a stirring in the air, the gnome materialized in the empty land.

He stretched out his paws, suspending them in the air as though he was preparing for something to come.

He then waved them and sent out a gentle energy. Over three hundred spatio-temporal crystals wrapped by the energy flew away from Austin's side and surrounded the gnome.

”I'm going to practice for the breakthrough,” said the gnome to Austin, ”so please guard me as I do so.”

As he looked right into Austin's eyes, his gaze was full of determination. The gnome knew perfectly well that he really should achieve the breakthrough this time. With the spatio-temporal crystal, he knew he could do it.

At his words, Austin nodded his head and stepped aside. He then fled away, immediately appearing in an empty clearing off the wood, protecting the gnome from afar.

Of course, he had to leave enough space for the gnome to practice, as the breakthrough had to be done in a completely quiet environment.

For a while, the wood was completely silent. Not a single sound could be heard, and it was so quiet that one could hear even a pin drop.

Then, all of a sudden, the wood began to stir—the trees waved and rolled as a powerful force began to emerge from within. Like an unseen dragon, it coursed through the wood so strongly that all the nearby rocks and hills began to quake.

The dramatic movement made the air whirl, creating storms of sand and rocks. Overhead, the sky darkened as though night had fallen.
