Everyone nodded sharply as an air of determination spread over the gathering The easy sense of what she was saying was enough to guide most away from their earlier worries In its place a steely fortitude settled over the group
and then was promptly destroyed as Annie stretched and yawned Hopefully this at least last long enough for that dumb kid to fall asleep Then IÆll get a night alone in our bed
And I Dozer rumbled
Annie shooed him away We have a couch donÆt we Do you know how fucking long itÆs been since IÆve been able to chug a barrel of wine and just burp without worrying that little terror would start mimicking my gas for the next week So stressful ItÆs very possible I might fall prey to wrinkles soon
As Annie and Dozer continued their strange version of flirting and walked out onto the arena most of the other assembled people followed Then all it took was a sharp gesture from Mrs Hamilton for Stan to hurry away and she and Donny were alone
Are you prepared She asked shortly
Donny just nodded
She tapped her cheek with her long fingers considering him And the time limit
We tested it up to thirty minutes and there were no permanent side effects Donny grunted Then he scratched the back of his neck Although he suspected it wasnÆt a comfortable thing at all to endure for the other party
Good Then I have no doubt we will win Donnyton will remain as the unshakable power on Earth despite RandidlyÆs best efforts
Donny looked at Mrs Hamilton He supposed that she was trying to sound encouraging but she just sounded tired At that moment she looked how Donny felt That made him grimace The weight the two of them had borne together for so long was finally starting to take its toll on both of them Yet he had no small amount of sympathy for Mrs Hamilton
Donny supposed that the antics of Stan had hit her harder than he had expected
It was good to know that sometimes Mrs Hamilton was just as shocked by some things as the rest of them were
Paolo and KayleÆs healing took much longer than anticipated Donny said lightly to change the subject Regina informed me that some strange energy was present in their wounds it took a repeated Revitalizes in order to remove the lingering damage and only after that energy was gone would the healing begin
Mrs Hamilton just twisted her lips The two looked out at the arena All of DonnytonÆs strength was gathered here This was the best they had Both understood that the last rung would be pointless They would either win here or lose
Did you see it Donny asked simply
Nodding Mrs Hamilton seemed someone helpless The most powerful Raid Boss that the Earth has ever faced
And it’s the man that saved all our lives Donny murmured
Both looked over at the sitting form of Randidly Neither spoke for several seconds
LetÆs have fun Donny said as he looked out toward the unadorned silhouette of Randidly
You sound like Alana Mrs Hamilton replied her lips curling upward Today letÆs just avoid the loss shall we
Chapter 938
RandidlyÆs gaze scanned through the people who began to filter up onto the stage Truly Donnyton was sparing no expense to fight against him
Alana Dozer Annie Sam Mrs Hamilton and Donny all were present slowly stretching their limbs With them was a sea of familiar faces that were all powerful in their own right Glendel Ptolemy the Cortez Siblings Clarissa as well as the hale and healthy looking Paolo and Kayle were checking their weapons
When he saw RandidlyÆs gaze Paolo offered a large thumbs up forcing Randidly to chuckle Truly that man was one who cared for nothing but fighting Even after that last strike none of his good cheer had been smashed out of him
In addition to the powerhouses there were also were a group of thirty or so members that felt like they were extremely powerful but not as poignant or individual as the leaders These then would be those members that were only present in the Raid Groups It seemed they had noticed his ability to steal a small amount of Stamina and Mana because they had selected only the most powerful to participate in the challenge
More annoying was the fact that almost all possessed Fates With them they would have some inherent resistance against RandidlyÆs images
Yet Randidly was also pleased to see that Eli Iron would not be present for this challenge if he had been Randidly might have lost his temper again
You know Randidly finally said Mrs Hamilton who was closest to him on the arena looked up sharply If Decklan were here it would be a reunion Most of the people who founded Donnyton would be gathered
Mrs Hamilton smirked Ha Decklan missing this well can you imagine the look on his face I have no doubt that when you see him next he will be extremely
She trailed off as though unsure of how to proceed Inwardly Randidly winced
Honestly he hadnÆt thought about it but perhaps the problems with the frogpeople were growing more pronounced and Neveah couldnÆt afford to let him go even for a brief period of time Decklan was running constant damage control on a vast area After all even after removing Roy the ripples that idiot had created would take some time to disperse
However Randidly was confident after seeing Neveah that she could handle it And if she couldnÆt she wouldnÆt hesitate to reach out to him After all Earth was a special place to her Her small crush and that stupid garden were here And Randidly himself although he had never really felt anything like protective feelings from Neveah Although that might be his own fault His level of capability meant very few people had the nerve to try and care for him
IÆm too strong even my home town has to come together in order to rival me Randidly thought with only a small amount of bitterness From the people arrayed before him that would actually be fighting Randidly looked up into the sea of faces looking down at him from the stands
We are ready to begin Mrs Hamilton said quietly Behind her Donny began to speak to the crowd speaking warmly about all Donnyton had accomplished About how it was only possible because of teamwork How everything in the System was achievable with hard work and determination which Donnyton possessed in droves
Just like with Paolo and Kayle the audience came slowly alive under his careful ministrations Their spirit was roused to fight once more Their cheers slowly increased in volume There wonÆt be any coming back after this Are you sure this is necessary
Randidly looked at Mrs Hamilton and sighed Yes itÆs necessary This is only the beginning of what the System will throw at us IÆve experienced the best that Donnyton has It isnÆt enough
Although it looked like Mrs Hamilton wanted to say something else Randidly spoke before she could Besides Stan burned my path to retreat So we fight
So we fight To RandidlyÆs surprise Mrs Hamilton smiled even as Donny continued to whip the spirit of the crowd into a weapon to use against him Honestly IÆm excited
Grinning Randidly studied Mrs Hamilton The middle aged woman seemed outwardly so well safe and conservative Like she was the sort you could trust to watch your back or protect your bag in a crowded restaurant Yet right now the smallest spark of battle lust could be seen in her eyes DonÆt tell me while I was away did you spend too much time around Alana
No but capability brings with it a certain amount of joy Mrs Hamilton said while chuckling Then her face turned serious This doesnÆt mean that you cannot return to Donnyton you know Even if
No it doesnÆt Randidly said But his voice was no longer soft It just means that I cannot pretend that IÆm like everyone else So IÆll no longer be a guide IÆll be the goal IÆll be a self righteous villain Come at me Miranda And experience personally why I believe Donnyton is too weak to save the Earth without me
When he spoke her name her eyes just widened Then Mrs Hamilton watched Randidly as he turned and walked toward Helen Around them Donny had finished his work with the crowd and the cheers were causing the entire area to hum Unlike the previous weight generated by Paolo these cheers were filled with faith and confidence
