When they opened the door they found Kraig chained to a chair barely conscious Even Constance moved to his side his face concerned
Lyra removed a mana potion and a health potion from her pocket drinking the former and passing the latter to Vivian who began dripping it into Kraig’s lips
Princess number 4 get Lyra said in a pleased tone
Chapter 92
Randidly stepped gracefully forward weaving in between two of the mini yetis Their faces contorted in fury they shaped their mouths into an O and blew producing a cone of frost Grimacing Randidly used Phantom Half step on a distant mini yeti to dodge the skills aimed at him and then used Ghastly Slash whipping the head of his spear downward toward the back of one of the offending mini yetis
Truly as he slashed the air howled with the passage of his spear and when the skill struck it the monster was split in half Randidly gained a skill level in Ghastly Slash and continued turning slashing again taking another mini yeti in the waist cutting it in half
But unfortunately before Randidly’s slaughter of the mini yeti’s continued their Yeti leader arrived furious
Roaring it smashed its fist downward towards Randidly aiming to crush him Which considering that the Yeti’s arm was the size of Randidly’s entire body was possible if he were hit The Yeti produced a frost aura as well that slowed enemies when it neared making it very difficult to battle
But Randidly still had few tricks up his sleeve Randidly activated Pierce the Heavens Shatter the Earth leaping upward in a blur led by the sharp tip of his spear Somehow the Yeti had the Perception to see the attack coming and leaned its head backwards out of the way As opposed to ripping a large gash in its throat Randidly’s spear only traced a thin line of blood up its hairy cheek
Chiding himself on failing to use Haste and Empower prior to the move Randidly began to fall spear pointing at the ground He smashed into the earth with a huge crack between several mini yetis The ground cracked and buckled and a shockwave exploded outward knocking the mini yetis away like they were made of paper
As the Shockwave dispersed Randidly dismissed the notification for gaining a level in the skill and downed a stamina potion preparing for an extended battle But instead of an attack from the Yeti he only found it kneeling next to its fallen little children keening in a soft voice
Then its eyes narrowed it looked up at him with naked hatred
Don’t go soft on me now You came here to kill me did you not If you weren’t willing to risk being devoured why have you come
Vibrating with barely controlled fury the Yeti stood Then it raised its hands and a vortex of ice formed swirling downwards After several seconds of this a giant blue hammer made entirely of ice was formed and the Yeti snatched it out of the air After spinning it expertly as if it was made of nothing the yeti bellowed a challenge and rushed towards Randidly
The hammer of ice swept sideways towards Randidly but he did not retreat No with the increase in stats gained from Equiping the Spine Spear Randidly wanted to know just what the limit of his strength was
He Hasted himself and Empowered himself and used Sweep the huge bone spear and ice hammer swinging towards one another They met was a loud boom both weapons vibrating uncontrollable
Unfortunately Randidly stumbled back the webbing between his thumb and forefinger torn by the impact
Just a little short huh He mumbled his eyes burning The Yeti seemed slightly shocked by this too and changed his stance preparing to attack more seriously
Grinning wildly Randidly beckoned the Yeti imitating its haughty air from earlier
They hurried through the darkened streets heading for the edge of town Lyra’s powerful mana sense could detect anyone with even a thread of mana so they easily avoided all the patrols It wasn’t until an explosion occured to the south where Lyra sensed the Randidly projection had gone before the alarm was really raised and it didn’t seem like it was related to them escaping
Large booms continued to echo outward from the area and their group used this cover to escape After downing one of Randidly’s signature health potion Kraig had recovered most of his usual vigor and was able to jog along with the rest of them
However after a particularly loud boom the party was forced to stop as Constance fell to his knees A low groan escaped from his mouth unable to be shaped by a tongue and soundly oddly animalistic
Lyra frowned down at him What
But just then she heard a gasp and tuned Kraig was staggering holding his chest Both Kal and Vivian looked decidedly uncomfortable What’s wrong
It feels Kraig gasped his lungs heaving Like something is being ripped out of me
Vivian winced Mine’s not so bad as that Just a weird grinding LIke I can feel myself developing high blood pressure
Her frown deepening Lyra activated her skill Eyes of Wonder the skill that had lead to everything else The skill she had gained from looking at Randidly
She could now see the utmost details in the flow of energy in their bodies The swirl of mana the pulse of Stamina But beyond that she saw the thin veins of that insidious addicting violet energy that people gathered ambiently Based on its significant presence in all of their bodies they all had obtained classes
Lyra had noticed that obtaining classes gave people another source for this violet energy which had both simultaneously made her want to get one immediately and never get one ever Her use of it already felt dangerous If she had access to more
As her attention sharpened on these veins of violet energy thin and weak in Kal and Vivian much thicker and more prevalent in Kraig Lyra could make out several small rough looking black particles flowing along from whatever source the violet energy came from depositing themselves in the people’s bodies
But when Lyra turned to Constance the blood drained from her face He had two veins one so thick it had blossomed into a whirlpool in his chest In his body those small black particles flowed outward more and more and more At this point those violet veins were only half energy and the other half this strange substance
Lyra turned back to Kal and Vivian You two have classes
Vivian blushed looking at the ground Yes
What are they
Vivian’s blush deepened her gaze still on the ground mine’s Consort
Lyra snorted and turned to Kal And you
mine’s also consort He said all the while meeting her gaze defiantly
Lyra burst out laughing Then she shook herself refocusing Unfortunately there wasn’t time to mock these two arrogant individuals Although the idea of the two of them engaging in activities with Constance
She spared Constance a glance He was without a doubt the most vanilla person she had ever seen in terms of appearance If this were the world prior to the system Hollywood would have given him work as a background extra as long as he wanted it
Sighing Lyra reached out with her perception towards the true body of Kim Lath When she felt its rising energies her worst fears were confirmed
I think Lyra said hesitating I think your VIllage Spirit got eaten
She didn’t feel guilt per se even though this was her fault No what she felt was responsibility Because although Turtletown had lost its spirit Donnyton had gained the location of their tribulation And with that
Lyra’s eyes blazed azure and violet the energies within her twining together
With that she would exact swift revenge
Nul gasped and stood knocking over the table that he and Daniel had been playing chess on
Prepare for battle He whispered looking wide eyed at Daniel
As Daniel opened his mouth to reply Glendel rushed in looking flustered Daniel There are monsters everywhere
Call the Council Daniel said grimly his voice only trembling slightly with fear Had it been Daniel from a month ago he would have panicked But now he had grown accustomed to such emergencies Is anyone out on Patrol
Decklan is Glendel whispered And his squad was right where the monster’s appeared His squad has already suffered 2 casualties I’ve guided him towards an area to escape but
