Chapter 1806
Randidly staggered and coughed up a mouthful of blood But in the next second his eyes flashed and he shuffled to the side in a sharp movement The giant wind blade orb ground against the side of the mountain skimming tiny slivers of stone off and slicing several cuts across RandidlyÆs cheek as the orb spun toward him
His natural energy had been spent handling the triple wind blades that arrived as a prelude His body was nearing his limits considering how densely packed his wounds were from the first two wind blade orbs that he had fought against today However this time Randidly had an idea
Maybe itÆs just the concussion IÆm nursing but I think IÆve been going about this all wrong
His emerald eyes flashed as he stepped underneath one of the wind blades that formed a cage on the orb and hopped into the middle of the churning winds Behind him the orb snapped shut as another wind blade cut savagely across but he was already inside of it He took several short steps following the grinding movement of the wind blade orb as it drifted to the left He could feel it turning sluggish as it struggled to understand how to strike at him The other triple wind blades spiraled around above him also halted by this movement
Randidly grinned and grasped with his hands pulling a few thin tendrils of natural energy out of the surroundings Then he inserted them into the cage around him that managed the ten wind blades trying to influence it

He tumbled forward propelled by the implosion as the orb tried to contract and crush him at the same moment he tried to infiltrate its natural energy flows The result was a total collapse The other blades from the orb dispersed harmlessly but the waiting triple wind blades instantly cut down toward the off balance Randidly
Cursing he flared as much of his image physicalizations as he could manage and stepped forward to meet the attacks His feet blurred and he weaved his head in a figure eight If nothing else his physical evasiveness that didnÆt rely on Chimeric Impunity had been transformed by this experience

The onslaught of triple wind blades lasted a long time before the storm eased back down to single wind blades He could almost feel the storm reprimanding him for making such a foolish mistake as trying to step into the orb Randidly stumbled and shook his head his body buzzing and muscles numb Small motes of blue light furiously gathered across his body and remade his image physicalizations in an even more substantive form However RandidlyÆs eyes remained bright as he looked up at the sky ThatÆs definitely an answer I just handled it poorly Next time
He dodged casually through the single wind blades studying the storm above As he expected the process continued to the next stage where it began to send triple wind blades down to harass him Randidly skipped up the stone path dodging and dismantling them with natural energy with marked cheer As though tired of his behavior the storm spat out a wind blade orb
It rolled through the air his punishmentÆ for his developing capability to handle triple wind blades
Randidly grinned His steps quickened as he tried to keep himself in the best shape possible for the orb to arrive Once again he dodged sideways when it smashed onto his position on the path Then just like before he hopped for the middle
The cage of wind blades snapped closed more quickly than previously but Randidly happily used Sulfur to deflect the force closing in around him He slipped through The potent natural energy of the Grand Pattern buzzed as it once more sought a method to hurt him The grey clouds above rumbled
Randidly couldnÆt help but chuckle Oh I finally have your attention But itÆs too late for this to be handled easily giving me that grace period was a mistake
RandidlyÆs hands and tail flowed through the air gathering up the dispersing ripples from the wind blade impacts He carefully wound the natural energy and kept it within the condensed ring that the storm had made for this wind blade orb It was a profound exercise in restriction but Randidly could help but chuckle as he felt the increasingly violent pulses from above
The triple wind blades arrived and howled toward his hamster ball a dozen at a time Randidly raised his hands and guided streams of energy to join the cage around him empowering his own defenses

The outside of RandidlyÆs wind blade orb began to slow its roll up the mountain and warp underneath the pressure Randidly quickly urged more of his gathered natural energy on new looping patterns through the interior Just like Nether flowed through his body and empowered him without trying to manipulate his limbs so too did this natural energy just form a support system beneath the premade cage of force He insulted the core flows of energy from outside attacks continuing to stroll forward
A triple wind blade wedged its way into RandidlyÆs orb prying open the cage and damaging some of the frame More surged toward that weakness but Randidly spun in place and dragged the orb with him shielding the weakness with natural energy
IÆm getting better at managing the natural energy without it intruding on the Grand Pattern but I let this wind blade orb take too much damage in those first hits Despite his confident expression Randidly was very realistic about his outlook A few more bombardments and this will collapse on top of me The downside of using these cages is my mobility is restricted when everything goes to shit But so long as I keep moving unpredictably
The sky shuddered under the force of the consciousnessÆs decision The grey clouds spat out three more wind blade orbs that rushed down toward Randidly On their heels a thousand triple wind blades screamed their support
His lips twitched even as he continued to gather and release natural energy against the constant barrage from the triple wind blades He also began pushing the damaged cage to ascend more quickly It acquiesced begrudgingly at this point the wind blade orb was like a horse too exhausted to even buck and try and throw him off
And when the three new wind blade orbs slammed into the ground to his front back left and back right
Randidly twisted his hand and the framework that had supported his little defensive vehicle turned into a weapon to tear it apart While most of the wind blades and gathered force careened forward to smash the orb blocking his path Randidly accelerated toward one of the ones behind him
Why refuse such a generous offer of a new ride
Chapter 1807
The group was an awkward one as they stood in a loose jumble and considered one another While Edraine and Velio Dunn had struggled to pry open first the Patron of Blades and then AbyssÆs cells the Patron of the Sun and the Patron of Blooms both returned They seemed to slip easily back into the Sanctum However their expressions were unreadable as they watched the two other Patrons being liberated
Neither offered any explanation of where they had gone or what they had done
Despite how brutal the work was to release the Patrons Edraine felt a sense of disappointment as they finished It was still far away from becoming anything concrete but she began to feel the tantalizing sensation of a new method of leveraging her image To her surprise her time in the Sanctum had been a great benefit to her personally Having a barrier with sufficient strength allowed her to test out a lot of methods she had only theorized in the past
Now it just remains to be seen whether anything good will come from liberating these thankless Patrons Edraine thought as she examined them The Patron of Blades a remarkably mild older man with grey hair and a slender build turned to Edraine and cocked an eyebrow From his expression he had read her thoughts and mocked her gently for her skepticism
