At a speed visible to the naked eye thin tendrils of the mist snaked outward Toward the many Skills that were shooting toward Randidly these tendrils seemed disdainful They reared upward and forcefully smashed that attacks to nothing A shower of bright sparks was the only gravestone to the defeated volley

Fall silent because your champions will be slaughtered

The ChimeraÆs terrible mouth opened revealing a dark funnel to a perpetually empty stomach RandidlyÆs gaze was locked upon the two headed bear

Man is Proud but the Chimera Takes

RandidlyÆs body blurred forward shooting toward the spectral creature summoned by Glendel As Randidly raised his spear all the terrible fury he held in his chest spiraled toward the tip of Acri That horrible darkness condensed into an infinitely small and sharp point with an intensity that set the air humming as he thrust forward

Its eyes dazed the two headed bear staggered backward two steps The flesh of its shoulder was mangled with a hole in its side that seemed to indicate that the bear had been struck by a howitzer rather than a spear

With glowing eyes Randidly set his feet and thrust Acri quickly upward toward the bearÆs face Around him those struck by his grim blades hadnÆt even hit the ground yet Their bodies were still buckling under the force of the attack Those that threw projectiles watched wide eyed as their attacks were dissipated and Randidly teleported to rip a hole through the two headed bear

As one the arena held its breath

The Grim Chimera raised its open mouth to heaven and cackled Without an image Randidly was completely unmatched as he romped among them After he struck down this bear

Donny wielding a golden shield that illuminated the surrounding twenty meters with light interposed himself between Randidly and the bear Very quickly Randidly switched his target and slammed his spear against DonnyÆs shield knocking the man backward

But that second of stillness was enough for Donnyton to make its decision it would fight Around Randidly the elite of Donnyton struck Randidly couldnÆt help but grin If you hadnÆt chosen this I would have been disappointed

Sam reached Randidly first His azure hammer smashed toward RandidlyÆs back But rather than the blow the real damage came in the form of the aura of cold that blasted outward Very quickly Randidly could see that this weapon of SamÆs was extremely powerful Although the materials probably werenÆt superior to RandidlyÆs new items this was the true masterwork of Sam This was what he had poured himself into

In the area around the freezing aura RandidlyÆs body simply shifted Like a ghost he floated through the area affected by the aura without being afflicted by its chilling cold Slowly RandidlyÆs grin widened So it really could be used like this too

Molten Fang of the Pariah ripped forward in a counter forcing Sam to bring his buckler shield around to deflect RandidlyÆs attack But Sam wasn’t prepared for close combat It had been too long since he practiced against real enemies with any consistency With brutal efficiency Randidly adjusted the trajectory of his thrust The blow skittered upward across the shield and laid open SamÆs forearm the burning heat cauterizing the wound painfully just as quickly as the gash had been opened

Cursing Sam stumbled backward and almost lost his grip on his hammer But before Randidly could follow up Paolo and Kayle struck one high and one low

Snorting Randidly activated ReaperÆs Mantle of CatastropheÆs The dark grey aura blasted outward hitting both Paolo Kayle and the surrounding people who moved in to follow up while Randidly was distracted Adding to that Randidly pressed his Willpower against the image rapidly raising the efficacy of the restrictive effect the Skill possessed

The air chilled as an effect much more poignant and immediate than the cold provided by SamÆs hammer gathered More than that the real advantage that RandidlyÆs Skill possessed was that the cold wasnÆt strictly spiritual it would also directly affect an individualÆs ability to use Skills Such was the chilling despair that Randidly wielded

He felt both Paolo and KayleÆs nascent images struggle to resist the frigid touch but soon RandidlyÆs gaze filled with emerald fire This isnÆt nearly enough The Chimera Weeps as Man Mourns

Dozens of blows shot outward inflicting several deep wounds on both Paolo and Kayle But neither flinched in fact both pressed forward With a flick of the wrist Acri smashed outward Both men were sent tumbling away

Curse of Weakness Mrs Hamilton shouted There was a stinging on RandidlyÆs right arm and he looked down to see a tattoo slowly spreading outward Immediately he felt Stamina begin to drain away

Chapter 943

Rather than getting upset Randidly simply used Aether Detection to inspect it for a split second Unfortunately it was not something that he could simply unravel with his understanding of Skills not without a great deal of time And for all that Randidly had an advantage that wouldnÆt last if he had to let this Curse of Weakness continue its effect on him Even now its influence was rapidly growing

Truly Mrs HamiltonÆs Skills were more dangerous than he expected There was an immediate noticeable debuff to his Physical Stats If this kept up even Randidly would be worried that Donnyton could catch him even through the veil of his image

As they say Quantity has a Quality all its own Fighting this many people who are above my Level and have a Fate is difficult But I still think

Donny had regained his footing and dashed back toward him attempting to hit Randidly with a Shield Bash Shaking his head Randidly simply raised his left arm and used Raucous PhantomÆs Finale He could feel that the energy within the arm was running low but that didnÆt matter right now

RandidlyÆs physical stats were simply too high He didnÆt need the Skill to add any extra oomph

The punch to his shield stopped Donny dead In fact the young man stumbled a half step backward trying to regain his balance after abruptly having his momentum dispersed Instead of following up Randidly simply looked down at the growing tattoo on his arm

Before his very eyes RandidlyÆs flesh rippled like the surface of a pond in a rainstorm Slowly the speed that the tattoo was spreading slowed Then as the ripples concentrated around the tattoo on his arm the black lines slowly shrunk

Three seconds later the Curse of Weakness was gone Acri struck left and right smashing arrows and mage Skills out of the air He had made it through the process whole and swore to himself not to allow the Curse to happen again

Unfortunately Randidly had ripped through a huge chunk of Stamina in order to utilize Chimeric Avoidance in that way But with the tools at his disposal that wasnÆt nearly as debilitating as it used to be

Cursed Appetite of the Wraith

The Grim Chimera hovering over Randidly opened its mouth and a huge wind sprang up The armor of the wounded around Randidly rattled as he pulled Stamina and Mana toward himself in a huge wave Empowered by the oppressive image that was surrounding the Donnyton forces this time he absorbed almost four hundred of both Attributes in a split second gulp While this amount was relatively small compared to the size of his pools it did give him enough capital to play with for now

After all his monstrous regenerations would take care of the rest from here Provided of course that he wouldnÆt blow through his Stamina in the next few minutes

Seeing her curse disappear and feeling the strength pulled her body Mrs HamiltonÆs expression darkened No more holding back Hit him with everything weÆve got

Instantly the expressions of DonnytonÆs elite hardened Sam raised his arm and simply threw his hammer toward Randidly The air around it began to slowly spin as the strange energy contained in the hammer exploded outward Very quickly it became clear why Sam had taken that course of action the energy released by the hammer interfered with RandidlyÆs images
