Physics The Greatest Magic
Chapter 47 - 48: Wind

John entered the tornado and was swept up in its rotation. Since he wasn't being affected by gravity, it made him a lot lighter and easier to move around.

Using his control over the wind element, John forcefully made the wind go around him. It was hard to do but possible. Using this method, John descended further and further down to where Ariel and Serena were.

"Please be safe..." John muttered as he continued to descend.

The tornado was pushing him back up, and it was hard to gather wind and use Velox inside of it. John instinctively went inside as the tornado lifted people up and rotated them on the inside. Now he was regretting that decision.

"I should have gone from the outside..."

Just as John said that he spotted Serena and Ariel. They were back to back and had their arm stretched out. The tornado was big; they had no space to avoid it, so it looks like they're fighting back.

They were using the same method John did. They were making the wind go around them rather than through them. They were concentrated, but it didn't look like they'll be able to keep it up for long.

"Try to hold on a little longer... I'll go deal with it..." John muttered as he propelled himself out of the tornado and then up.

It was a tornado, but it wasn't as strong as a real one. The reason why he knew this was because the rotation of this one is slower. It isn't going 300 Mph it's a lot slower.

Furthermore, the tornado isn't coming from the ground up like it does naturally. It's coming from the griffin in the ceiling, and it's upside down.

Lastly, to maintain the tornado, the griffin has to keep flapping its wings. John noticed this as he was going up the tornado. 

'It'll be defenceless while it keeps this up... Then…'

As John thought this he arrived at the top. The bird didn't notice him because he had cast furtim beforehand.

Without it noticing, John quietly and hastily approached it using velox. And in seconds was right beside it.

John pulled out his dagger and began supplying magic through it 3 fold more than usual. He then cast 'Tonde flamma". As he swung both daggers diagonally, it noticed and tried to move away. But by then it was too late.

In a swift motion, with the form of a cross as John swung his daggers. He cut off its head from the neck, separating it from the body.

Shortly after that, the tornado dispersed and the griffon's body along with its head fell straight down under the bridge.

John looked over at Serena and Ariel, who laid exhaustively on the ground.

John flew down over to them to check on how they were doing.

"When did you two learn how to do that?" John asked.

"You saw us?" Asked Ariel.

"Yeah." John replied.

"Aw, were you worried about us?" Teased Serena.

"Obviously," John said.

"I-I see... Me too..." Said, Ariel as she blushed.

"Y-Yeah..." John replied as he looked over at Serena's direction.

"I-I was w-worried too..." said Serena who was also blushing.

"T-Thanks... W-Well, I'm going to go pick up that Griffins magic stone and check the door while I'm at it." John said as he got up.

"Y-Yes." Replied Serena.

"Y-Yeah, we'll check out the entrance to the next floor. It opened a while ago." Replied Ariel.

"Alright, are you guys sure you don't need to rest? We're going straight to the 14th floor?" John asked before he went off.

"Yeah, we still have enough power left, and if we spend too much time resting. We'll run out of food... Not to mention, we might end up starving if we don't replace a way back. Our only option is to keep advancing..." Said Ariel.

'So she was thinking that far ahead.' John thought.

"Alright, you guys get ready then, after I check the door and pick up the stone, we're heading straight to the next floor." John said.

The two girls nodded and walked towards the door.

John flew over to the spikes and picked up the magic stone. It was a giant purple stone, at least 1.5x bigger than the spider one. He struggled to put the stone in the toolbox and had to force it inside.

"Looks like I'm running out of space..." John muttered as he flew back up and towards the door, they had come from.

The door was completely shut. John tried opening it and it wouldn't budge.

"As expected. Man... I can't wait to replace out who's responsible for this..." John muttered as he flew over to the entrance of the next floor where Ariel and Serena waited.

"Did it open?" Serena asked.

"No, even if it did, we wouldn't be able to go back through the same route we came either ways. It'd probably just end up being a waste of time. The 11th floor and 12th floor doors are closed after all." John said.

"You're right... anyway, shall we go?" Asked Serena.

"Is everyone ready?" He asked.

The two girls nodded.

"Then let's go." John said as he took the lead.

Just like any other floor, they went down the stairs. Only this time, instead of being hit by a breeze, they were hit by a heat wave.

"Now that I think about it... The 11th floor was water... The 12th floor was Earth... The 13th floor was Air... Then that means the last floor is..." John said.

"Fire." Said Ariel.

They continued to descend, and it started getting hotter and hotter. After they reached the floor, they were greeted by a giant dimly lit hall. What illuminated the hall was fire connected on top of polls.

"Yeah, Now I'm curious as to what we'll see on the 15th floor? A dungeon has 30 floors, so could it be a different element?" John muttered.
