Dozer chuckled but he didnÆt say anything Still AlanaÆs face wrinkled into a frown It seemed she hadnÆt hidden her disgruntled reaction well enough Something to work on then
After she finally had the chance to enjoy this fight
Behind them a wave of force exploded outward as Glendel revealed his final card the arena was now filled with a towering two headed bear that was Level 70 It was only with an extraordinary amount of effort and AlanaÆs Raid SquadÆs assistance that he had been able to subjugate its soul
Now the foolish beast roared and charged at Randidly directly Around it Kayle and Paolo floated like ghosts ready to strike when Randidly revealed weakness Annie floated above it all her powerful and precise arrows crashing down toward Randidly
Time and time again he used only a single spear strike to smash the shafts of the arrows into splinters AlanaÆs eyes tightened as she spared this move a long glance After having faced Annie in multiple duels she understood the other womanÆs significant power Yet Randidly was now making it look like childÆs play to deal with her attacks
Truly was his improvement after his image shifted so significant DonnyÆs shield already looked badly damaged after only a few exchanges If Alana would head over
No Alana was grinding her teeth as she hopped down off the arena Her gaze was fiery and locked onto HelenÆs rapidly moving back I have a role There is a plan Even if it is not what I would have chosen I have a responsibility
Just donÆt blame me for not being gentle Alana thought bitterly She tried her best to ignore the sounds of rustling leaves and roaring bears behind her as she hurried toward Helen
After all if she did not move Clarissa and her fellow mages would be reduced to meat paste And Helen would thrive on their spilled blood
This was necessary
This is necessary
WeÆre moving Alana growled A chuckling Dozer and the silent Cortez siblings followed her after Helen
Chapter 942
RandidlyÆs eyes burned emerald in the darkening night Around him the battle settled into two main theaters around him and around Helen Around him there was a slight lull as DonnytonÆs forces moved into position Around Helen
Seems like Helen will be able to stabilize now that there is enough blood in the air Randidly reflected as Helen rushed toward Clarissa and her mages Behind Helen Alana Dozer and the Cortez siblings were rapidly gaining ground Even if Helen was likely faster in a direct sprint she had much more going against her
Luckily HelenÆs speed had risen to the point that the Skills thrown out by ClarissaÆs assistant mages werenÆt enough to slow her Only the doubly large and powerful Skills cast by Clarissa herself were enough to give her pause Even with the assistance of her Domain the Skills affected such a large area that it didnÆt matter how much care Helen took she couldnÆt avoid them completely without being caught by Alana and her crew
So Helen forcefully withstood the Skills and rushed forward to try and eliminate the five mages before her pursuers could catch up
Randidly studied the situation carefully Based on their relative speeds it seemed like Helen wouldnÆt be able to do it cleanly Clarissa could delay until HelenÆs pursuers caught up But at the very least it would mean that Clarissa would be forced out of the fight against him for a while
And who knows Helen might surprise me and finish them all
RandidlyÆs gaze shifted to the dozens of individuals that now circled around him like vultures He grinned It seemed that the initial overtures were over It was time to fight with blades barred
Not that he had truly sought to prevent it but now the forces of Donnyton had crossed the sixty or so meters that separated them to begin the match With the remnants of frost and strengthening in the ground RandidlyÆs Infinite Fingers of Yggdrasil were still weakened in the area surrounding him If he wanted to thin their ranks he would need to use other avenues
The next phase then letÆs see how far you can go Donnyton Randidly thought as his Crown began to brighten Above him the image of Yggdrasil became even more distinct A powerful wind swirled around the tree its branches were alive with malice toward these transgressors IÆve harried you with Skills but now you need to truly face the might of two images Are you prepared
Like physical weight Randidly released the last vestiges of restraint he kept over YggdrasilÆs aura The golden letter brightened and the power it released began to climb upward Seeing some of the weaker individuals who remained pale Randidly knew that this would give them a reason to pause their rapid advance
Of the initial fifty or so individuals that had joined the fight against Randidly sixteen had been eliminated With nine moving to handle Helen that meant there were a little less than thirty people gathering around Randidly
Before Yggdrasil that seemed like an incredibly small number
GRaawwhh
Chuckling Randidly considered the two headed bear that was bounding toward him Alright fine thirty people and a bear A bear that doesnÆt know when it is far beyond its depth Tragic creature allow me to teach you fear
But the bearÆs charge seemed to be a signal Donny moved forward his armor glowing with warm energy In their wake the rest of DonnytonÆs forces spun closer Most simply threw ranged Skills at Randidly to distract him but they were steadily increasing the pressure on him Mrs Hamilton and Sam moved forward aiming for RandidlyÆs back while he was forced to face the freight train of a monster that was charging toward his front
Truly all of DonnytonÆs strength was gathered here and they moved like a well oiled ballista to strike Randidly down out of the sky
Above his head the Grim Chimera clicked its tongue it had received this sort of reaction for its entire existence This level of rejection could not shake its foundations To live as the Chimera is to be persecuted It would have been more surprising if they had not moved to kill him and revealing his identity
Baring his teeth Randidly shifted his emphasis from Yggdrasil to the Grim Chimera Using the World Tree let him weaken the projectiles but for what came next he would need the more offensive image Yes this is exactly right Struggle Exhaust yourselves I am no longer your hero my existence has become your Tribulation Despair Donnyton because I do not need blades to strike you down
As the attacks neared Randidly he slowly blinked His heart began to once more pump loudly in his chest The ChimeraÆs grey body twitched and twisted Along its strange limbs the bones popped and fractured Its muscles were flooded with blood and mucus as it shifted morphing into something else The process was painful But since the Chimera was born every breath had been painful to the point that living was a slog through the grey and bleak agony That was the price of its power
Yet despite that grim price the Chimera paid it Because no joy was more intoxicating than the truth of existence To simply revel in the moment was a victory against countless foes that beggared themselves to end the Chimera To spite them all Chimera would continue to savor the sweet nectar of life that it possessed
In the surrounding air grey blades of malice and rejection formed They seemed to absorb the surrounding light able to be seen only in the absence of existence that could be witnessed against the backdrop of the surrounding battle
A thought from Randidly sent them spiraling outward toward the surrounding elites of Donnyton Perhaps due to their darkness some people didnÆt even notice their approach Very quickly those blades ripped through the best armor that Donnyton could forge and brought the victims to a dead stop
For a second no one seemed to have understood what had happened Well no one who had fallen prey to the blades Then Ptolemy hurried forward but too many were hit too quickly Blood sprayed out of a dozen life threatening wounds collapsing the advance toward Randidly
Curse your Fates because I do not need shields to defeat your feeble attacks
There was a sharp uptick in the volume of RandidlyÆs heartbeat and the spasms racking the ChimeraÆs body increased But around it bleak darkness slowly gathered In it were all the frigid images of ash that Randidly had worked so tirelessly to form so he might find balance
