And the time limit of this effect greatly increased with Skill Level
RainaÆs eyes flashed as she considered RandidlyÆs wounded and scowling form Even although they had thrown everything Donnyton possessed at him Randidly still stood tall and proud He had a circlet of emerald fire and a crown of pale metal His wounds were visible but his stance was clear he would be the victor on this day
RainaÆs abilities were strong but overwhelming a rested individualÆs Willpower was almost impossible Only after pushing him to the edge was Mrs Hamilton willing to use this blade against Randidly After all there was a secret fear in her heart that Randidly would have too much left in the tank and the Skill would rebound and injure Raina
RainaÆs smile threw off enough voltage that it was immediately clear why she could become a pop idol Then she spoke her gaze never leaving RandidlyÆs Be Still
Randidly froze his eyes glazing over slightly Mrs HamiltonÆs breath caught in her throat Time stretched as the magic circles continued their glacial revolution around RandidlyÆs head Slowly the Skill came closer to fruition This was the edge they needed the last trick they kept in order to land this blow against Randidly If this failed now
A half second passed before there was any change The Skill was almost entirely done Joy came unbidden to Mrs Hamilton surprising her with its intensity She hadnÆt truly realized how desperately she wanted to win
Then the spell was broken Unfortunately the one to move was Raina
She coughed then collapsed Blood was streaming out of her eyes ears nose and mouth Immediately Mrs Hamilton grimaced Although she caught Randidly by surprise it was clear that his mental strength was still far from something Raina could suppress for long
As RandidlyÆs gaze focused once more his expression had changed to something feral For the third time this match his gaze cut sideways to Mrs Hamilton Fury had housed itself in that emerald gaze with enough intensity that Mrs Hamilton felt a formless pressure against her psyche even from this distance
I know how much you hate mental attacks but that is part of our strength Mrs Hamilton said annoyed at herself at needing to vocalize these reasons when it was only herself she was convincing with the explanation Besides that half second was enough YouÆve lost
Isolate Beryl shouted
There was a flash of light as the magic circle around Randidly erupted with brilliance Almost immediately that light disappeared and revealed a furious Randidly still glaring at Mrs Hamilton The pressure from his eyes smashed into her fresh as a spring dawn Willing her heartbeat to slow down to normal levels Mrs Hamilton stepped to the side so that Randidly was no longer glaring directly at her
RandidlyÆs gaze did not follow her Instead it remaining fixed on the spot where she had just stood Mrs Hamilton released a breath and then sent a message to Alana
ItÆs time
AlanaÆs reply was not what Mrs Hamilton wanted to hear If I leave now Helen will likely overwhelm Dozer
Mrs HamiltonÆs fingers were moving as fast as she could move them gathering a net of strings around Randidly But defeating him is the win condition Regardless if Dozer falls all of this is over if we can hurt Randidly now Hurry before
The ground around Randidly cracked as he threw himself directly up into the air Cursing Mrs Hamilton tightened her net but he had reacted too quickly He shot directly upward escaping her web before it could even be woven
Mrs Hamilton could only stare grimly up at Randidly Then she prepared for his descent
The abrupt return of darkness to RandidlyÆs life was shocking and not what he had expected from the drawn out cast of a Skill He had been curious about the magical formation that they were attempting to work on him but confident that he could it even to the last moment he had been completely surprised by the emergence of Raina from Donny
So that bundle of Aether was another person wrapped in a Skill Randidly thought bitterly Even now he gritted his teeth at the thought of RainaÆs abilities Extremely dangerous will warping abilities That Mrs Hamilton used them against him
But that brought Randidly back to the problem at hand He believed he was gritting his teeth But there was actually no way of knowing whether he was Rather than the previous darkness he had encountered in the prison this new darkness was total It was less darkness and more oblivion Rather than not having access to light Randidly didnÆt have access to the information from his eyes
Or from his hands or ears or nose or skin There was nothing around him The last thing Randidly remembered was the word IsolateÆ and then everything was cut off In this oblivion he was stranded
Alone with his thoughts surrounded by the remnants of his enemies
However he still had access to his inner world which allowed him to see his Stats and Attributes It seemed he wasnÆt affected by any other unusual states or wounds and his Health hadnÆt decreased at all Therefore it seemed likely that he was simply denied access to his senses he hadnÆt actually been hurt or moved
So he immediately leapt upward to buy himself some time to figure out what to do next
Without the feeling of his body or the air touching his skin the sudden series of commands he sent to his unresponsive body felt extraordinarily strange More than that Randidly had to focus his already taxed mind in order to remember how he had been standing exactly before he had been cut off from himself
If his understanding slipped even a little he would just be a sitting duck flailing around on the stage But if his powerful Control could perform perfectly
Randidly grinned A setback sure Long term Randidly would lose if he could not finish this battle quickly Even his Control and Intelligence would slip up eventually But Randidly had already been born again in darkness He did not fear the demons that emerged without the veil of the world
In fact Randidly was now counting on them
What is within without What is without within
Images bloomed around him The sound of the Grim ChimeraÆs heavy breath came from above him From this close proximity Randidly could even feel the immense amount of heat radiating from the ChimeraÆs cursed body and hear the labored breaths that revealed how much pain it endured just to survive
But Randidly also felt something else as the Grim Chimera raised its head in the darkness His grin widened
In the oblivion around him as the Grim ChimeraÆs aura spread outward it eventually encountered obstructions Areas where its aura couldnÆt easily penetrate
Other individuals who resisted
Individuals who used images One in particular was walking directly toward him throwing off the scent of wind and battle and glory and victory A glittering valkyrie riding to slay the monster
Well hello
Chapter 949
As soon as Alana pulled away from the fight Helen loosened the tight control she had kept over her movements Her Tides of Blood Domain spiraled around her dark and thick The pressure it exerted on Helen was enough to make sure she didnÆt forget how deeply she was proceeding into her own image At this depth even she was in danger
Yet she needed to utilize that strength now while she had the chance to make a comeback
DozerÆs roars had slowly fallen away over the course of the fight so that his red eyes were now simply fixed upon her The only noises in their fight were the noises of their breath and the fearsome whispers of their weapons ripping through the air
Even as Dozer brought his huge club across toward Helen she danced backward out of its effective range Which was quite a long dance due to the horrendous size of the thing Then she hopped onto a current of blood and flowed around to the side of Dozer fast enough that she left a series of after images in her wake
