Did no one hear me I have plenty of gas Annie said sourly Then she threw up her hands Dozer would have laughed

Then Randidly hit the ground like a comet and everyone pounced forward

Chapter 947

Kayle controlled his body as well as he could considering that cloud of dust and shattered arena that was produced by RandidlyÆs arrival Yet he did not dare hesitate Randidly had proven himself too powerful a foe to give him more than a second to prepare

Even with the rapid advance Kayle felt that deathly sucking gather toward Randidly once more stealing a small fraction of KayleÆs Mana and Stamina as well as his breath Kayle grimaced The actual amount stolen from me is small but considering he is stealing from all of us he will not run out of Attributes before we do Combine that with the mental pressure of having your breath stolen

Before Kayle arrived GlendelÆs two werewolf specters crashed into RandidlyÆs body Bits of spectral gore flew in every direction as Acri took its due but the specters did not have the power to resist the geass that Glendel placed upon them They cast themselves forward physically using their bodies to hold Randidly down for a short amount of time

Kayle didnÆt hesitate to cut through one to strike at Randidly But as he struck vines immediately sprung out of the ground to tangle up KayleÆs feet Kayle grinned Although his right arm was still hanging uselessly at his side his left arm activated Dance of Blades instinctively Very quickly slashes rained outward and cleared a path through the roots that his strike could follow

But the resistance in cutting through the roots Kayle felt set his teeth on edge If his slashes had this much difficulty cutting through the plant matter then some of the others

Before Kayle could finish that thought before he had even struck the werewolf in front of him sighed and dissipated There was abruptly a space where there had once been a screening body Randidly glanced slowly to the side his emerald gaze holding Kayle captive for a split second once they locked eyes

RandidlyÆs black hair was short but it was difficult to see where it began due to the spray of gore and dried blood across his face No part of Randidly was unscathed after the battles he had participated in today A trail of fresh blood dripped out of his right nostril and six large gashes stood as a testament to the many attempts to inflict a deadly blow on his neck that he had stoically endured

He glowed slightly in three places one of the gems on his belt was golden the strange runes that covered his left shoulder rippled with light and also the flaming circlet he wore around his forehead released a steady green illumination Long open wounds covered his arms There were also small gashes that could be partially seen under his grey armor but they were smaller and less serious

He was the pillar of Donnyton come to force them to evolve or die He was wounded

Kayle cut aiming for RandidlyÆs throat like so many before him

With a clap of thunder the monstrous image that Randidly created reappeared above him and howled Kayle could quickly feel a creeping chill spread up his limbs Due to their close proximity the spread of it was immediate Worse Kayle already only had a single limb

Slashing its claws without a care for its life the surviving werewolf managed to draw RandidlyÆs attention It was only for a split second but that was all Kayle needed

Clink

Kayle blinked as his attack was stopped RandidlyÆs spear had twisted mid air like a snake and smashed away his strike Turns out this one wouldnÆt even earn a gash across his face Then Randidly followed up with a brutal punch that was aimed at KayleÆs head

Curse of Weakness

As Mrs Hamilton cast her spell Randidly spun away His body rippled to avoid the curse and his spear ripped the werewolf to shreds Even before he set his stance RandidlyÆs emerald eyes were scanning for threats

But Donny was there immediately aiming to hit him with a Shield Bash Just one successful hit would give them a moment to breathe as Randidly was stunned Yet Randidly didnÆt even blink as the Skill approached Once more he aimed to grab the lip of DonnyÆs shield At the last moment Donny scowled disengaged the Skill and instead cast Aegis A blast of golden light hit Randidly full in the face But he still leaned back to avoid the blast of cold that Sam produced from his hammer

In addition the area around Sam exploded with sharp vines in retaliation As Kayle was already too chilled to face Randidly directly he moved wordlessly to SamÆs assistance But before he could arrive a wave of mental agony swept across the arena Everyone rocked on their feet struggling to remain standing Grimacing Kayle straightened out of the way of a root that aimed for his throat in that moment of weakness

Seems like Randidly finally is taking off the kid gloves Attack like this might kill Kayle shivered as he watched a roots slice through the muscles around SamÆs knee Breathing heavily he continued over to Sam to try and salvage the situation

As Donny yanked his shield backward to avoid the grab Randidly settled on smashing Donny backward with a kick Paolo arrived behind Donny to slap his back and disperse the momentum and then charged directly toward Randidly From the spot that Paolo and Donny touched a golden fire began to spread across Paolo

Narrowing his eyes Randidly avoided two of AnnieÆs arrows and raised his spear toward Paolo Paolo grinned like a maniac and dived forward

From below Kayle yelled but it didnÆt matter Paolo likely knew It was because his body could be of use this way that he had thrown himself forward with DonnyÆs Skill blazing around him

But like Paolo would never stop throwing himself into danger Kayle would never stop warning him of his foolishness That was just their way Which was why what followed was extremely painful to watch even for Kayle

A dozen roots ripped upward and punctured PaoloÆs stomach Blood and stomach acid spurted out hitting the ground with an audible cascade of thwaps Even that tank of the man went pale Immediately the roots wrapped themselves around PaoloÆs torso Rather than squeezing they simply dragged themselves across his flesh leaving deep furrows in his muscled limbs Paolo groaned collapsing almost immediately and sliding along the thick roots

Blessing of the Wanderer Healing Ptolemy yelled A beam of light shot downward causing a ripple to pass through the giant tree above them When the beam hit Paolo his flesh began to knit back together at a speed visible to the naked eye Very soon Paolo straightened and began to rip at the roots penetrating him

After clearing the roots attacking Sam Kayle drew and threw three knives in quick succession toward RandidlyÆs back Before they could cross half the distance a root slithered out of the ground and slapped them all out of the air Grimacing Kayle looked down at his vest

Three knives left

Mercilessly the roots riggled and continued their grim work before Paolo had managed to even get through half of them They ripped PaoloÆs flesh off in long strips that fell to the ground like apple shavings Donny arrived in a concussive blast of golden power cutting Paolo free in a single brilliant stroke But Randidly was there as though he had been waiting for Donny to move Quick as a flash he used the Skill that struck out a dozen times In order to protect Paolo Donny had no choice but to endure the strikes with his shield and armor

Or at least he attempted to But RandidlyÆs strikes were fast and accurate

There was a series of sparks as every edge of DonnyÆs armor was tested But before RandidlyÆs Skill ended there was a long moment as Donny was knocked sideways looked wonderingly toward the perpetrator

Even if this will help us did you need to go this far Kayle ground his teeth together

A Paolo illuminated by golden fire had shoved Donny out of the way RandidlyÆs spear was now in his chest even as blood pumped out onto the ground from the deep wound in his stomach Both of PaoloÆs calloused hands wrapped around the shaft of the spear
