The table went silent for several seconds The distant pressure of the System that they had been aware of for quite some time suddenly loomed over them
Which means Mrs Hamilton finally said That only one more Zone connecting means the First Calamity will descend
Chapter 913
Randidly emerged from his Soulskill with a curse As he had suspected he only had to wander the streets within his Soulskill for a second to hear that a great portion of the mist nearby in his Soulskill had been cleared
And within that new open space there were cities Filled with people With economies and connections to each other as they hadnÆt just emerged from the mist An entire continent with political factions and armies and individuals who would be frankly shocked to be told that they were currently existing within another entities Soulskill
Randidly had rapidly gone to investigate only to confirm that these strangers had never encountered the System before although he did learn that the Class giving Lighthouses had appeared across the land
What was slightly amusing was that these people treated the original denizens of RandidlyÆs Soulskill as the weird ones because their land appeared out of nowhere next to this fully fleshed out world Basically the mist to the South and West was completely gone replaced by this world
A world that had the legends and history referenced in the armor Sam had given Randidly
How did it happen I couldnÆt detect any of the System Aether so these places really were already there although they were dormant until now Could so much information really have been stored in those Blessings
Yet Randidly didnÆt have any real way of investigating what was occurring in his Soulskill For now he simply allowed his people to intermingle with the beings that had appeared in his world and hoped for the best He urged caution from the Monster Prince and Allica
And he promised that when they had more information Randidly would return and investigate as best as he could
Sighing Randidly looked up at the moon It was midnight and Randidly had a little over 32 hours before his challenge against all of Donnyton And there were still so many things to do
After slapping his arms to get some blood flowing through his body Randidly returned to the open training ground and reached with Grasp of the World Seed The ground rumbled and six root avatars straightened out of the soil and looked to Randidly for guidance
With half closed eyes he considered his creations After the exhaustive practice the previous day Randidly had a few ideas for how the Styles could be functionally merged into one It was a matter of maintaining momentum
The Spear Phantom controlled and borrowed momentum The Ashen Kata possessed and created unstoppable momentum If those two powers could be united by focusing on a Style that was completely about momentum and maintaining that power through some very abrupt and sudden movements
But ironing out the details would take some time So Randidly planned on lowering the number of duels going on at once to three so he could give each one a larger portion of his focus With a thought he created a soft disc of grass for himself and sat down cross legged Then his Mana began to burn through the root avatars and push them toward one another to fight
With dispassionate violence battle between the different avatars was joined They struck with brutal efficiency aiming to cut each other down immediately
Something like mixing Wild PhantomÆs Embrace with Frigid Ash Extinguishing Storm is actually quite simple
then Spear Advances Ash Trails would likely go to the Inevitable Phantom Arrives
Clang Clash
A root avatar was split in half and then healed to full within a single second Without missing a beat that avatar leapt forward and sought to avenge its previous loss The bodies blurred together united in a deadly waltz
hum I wonder if As the Sun Stills could become part of Breath of the Spear Phantom
Well then most of the offensive power of as the Sun Stills would be lost
The ground where the duels were occurring slowly began more ripped up and muddy Powerful spear blows left long scars in the earth With the empowerment of RandidlyÆs Mana these root avatars had enough Strength that the stone and dirt couldnÆt keep up with them And as the ground gave out their individual spear moves needed to be sharpened further so they would not slip
A constant refining process Only then could Randidly find the answer he was seeking
Pressing his eyes together Randidly slowly brought his will to bear on the root avatars With Grasp of the World Seed he could sense every inch of their bodies He could control every single twitch They were extensions of his will
As much as possible Randidly kept the root avatars moving in a manner that was similar to humanity There was an increasing sense of unity between the two styles of spear use But that just meant that he found a shape that seemed to fit What became more important from there was to determine whether that shape fucking worked
The main problem with maintaining momentum through such violent movements was that the human body was limited by what it could withstand The System raises those limits but Randidly carefully monitored the body of the root avatars as they experimented with these movements
It couldnÆt just be good enough Otherwise Randidly would just consider this a failure and toss the experiment aside No Randidly wanted to create a new Style for himself that he could perfect as he grew even more powerful
Time lost meaning to Randidly as he allowed the root avatars to strike at each other and counter over and over again It had been a long time since he had thrown himself so wholeheartedly into the spear and so there was a bit of time where Randidly struggled to remain focused
But eventually that overwhelming one mindedness that carried Randidly through his brutal time in the prison with Shal once more reared its head His attention narrowed to a point The moves began to blend together as the strange momentum focused style of fighting took shape Always moving Always seeking more speed
And from speed power
While one root avatar in the duel continued to use the hybrid of the moveset Randidly began to fight with the original movesets with the other avatar Relying on images Randidly was able to reproduce some of the effectiveness of his Skills in the root avatars Most of the time the original movesets dominated But Randidly didnÆt give up hope
The stars slid across the horizon and after a long night of rest the sun yawned and strolled upward into the sky
Sighing Randidly leaned back and cracked his neck There was progress but it wasnÆt enough The combined style was too flawed It certainly combined the offensive power of both Styles but it lost a lot of the defensive capability from both of the originals Although Randidly could still borrow the momentum in a capacity with the new Style it wasnÆt as complete of a feat He could not always avoid harm
Now at this point Randidly had quite a bit of Health so he could create a Style that relied heavily on his high Attributes but
Randidly looked up sharply to see someone was walking up the path toward his hut The figure was cloaked in a heavy coat that seemed to ignore the warm rays of the sun but it only took a small sample of the otherÆs Aether for Randidly to sense who it was Helen
Then his eyebrows rose Holy hell Helen pushed all the way to Level 50 since weÆve arrived in Donnyton And she
There was a clear flavor in the air A Fate hung over Helen RandidlyÆs focus rapidly shifted to the woman slowly walking up the path toward him
This one quite like the one that Alana possessed was formed totally out of energy that she had taken from him And unlike the Fates given by the System it did not bind her Aether in a way that made it entirely unrecognizable to Randidly
Randidly remained silent as Helen moved quickly up the path She clearly had something to say because she trudged up the hill with her head down An aura of contemplation filled the air around her urging silence of the surroundings
