The wind sprang out of nowhere!
The moment it appeared, it was a tornado the diameter of a basketball. Then it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Ran did not hesitate. He unleashed Demon Flame with a flick of his hand.
The scorching Demon Flame collided with the howling tornado, and the wind fanned the flames. An instant later, the tornado became a three-meter-high fire tornado.

Mimosa still "hugged" two scrolls.
They were different from ordinary scrolls.
