His eyes immediately locked onto the sharp dagger like protrusions that grew along the edge of the forearm each a few inches apart down from the rest As the tingling sensation spread along it concentrated around those three locations They seemed to glitter slightly revealing small motes of crimson within the metal of these extensions A notification popped up in front of Randidly

His fingers tightened on the Fatepiece He looked down at his new arm LetÆs go show her how much weÆve improved
A ringing chime sounded out from the Fatepiece and his consciousness slipped into the inner world With an explosive sigh Randidly found himself in the massive crater on the Fifth Cohort Rally Station before that last spar against Helen She was already raising her spear ready to attack but Randidly raised his hand Wait
Tsk you better not be trying to weasel way out of this spar Helen eyed Randidly warily tossing her braid back over her shoulder But even if she spoke harshly she still lowered her spear
If he really didnÆt have his heart in it she wouldnÆt force him to fight Because that was the sort of friend she had always been to him
For several seconds Randidly just stared at her He had obviously spent a lot of time grieving Helen which made him believe that he would be able to handle this But immediately he felt himself trembling as he looked at her
She practically burned in his vision With the context of her absence aiding his awareness the significance of her existence to Randidly Ghosthound was nearly blinding He felt tears forming in the corners of his eyes and sucked in a shaky breath
Of course Helen greeted this display with a grumble Something wrong Why are you looking at me like that
nothing Randidly said slowly as he steeled himself then he raised his new left arm and clenched a fist The effect of boosting the Rarities of his Stats was hard to get a read on but Randidly definitely enjoyed being free of the physical restriction from the mountain His images all started to billow out as well impressing themselves on the space outside of his body But I want your help with something a bit special
Hm Helen raised an eyebrow
Hiding his sorrow in his heart Randidly flashed an almost malicious smile at Helen IÆve been watching your Domain And honestly it seems super useful So IÆve made my own version Why donÆt we check how well it compares to the original
HelenÆs nostrils flared outward You fucking did what
Randidly stretched out his arm and the three fangs happily buzzed out into the air They cut wide troughs through the air currents leaving ample natural energy in their wake Then those ripples were gathered into a tide that spun around him The influence Randidly possessed slowly stretched into a maelstrom HelenÆs scowl deepened and she raised her spear once more The air around her darkened and four undulating wicker arrowheads formed around
Are you trying to piss me off on purpose Helen muttered right before she accelerated forward her Domain spreading out to oppress RandidlyÆs
Congratulations Your Skill (Domain) The Resonant Fangs of Extinction has grown to Level 303
No But if I say anything else IÆm going to start crying again Randidly whispered in his heart Then he mobilized his Skills and images to meet her directly A black wicker and smoky arrow had tore forward aiming for RandidlyÆs chest A fang slid down to meet it
Chapter 1816
Congratulations Your Skill Cutting Tide of Amenonuhoko has grown to Level 555
Congratulations Your Skill (Domain) The Resonant Fangs of Extinction has grown to Level 349
The two fighters bounced backward both of their feet carving small ditches in the dirt ground as they steadily dispersed the force from their collision Due to the restrictions he placed on himself Randidly ended up losing out in the final clash but both of them knew that his improvement speed meant that wouldnÆt be the case for long His three fangs were smoking as they returned and reattached themselves to his left arm
He raised his head and looked at the panting Helen feeling quite a bit chagrined A sizzling black mark remained on his chest from where HelenÆs attack had landed A good reminder not to rely too much on the impact reduction ability of the fangs They will knock away all the force for a single strike yes but powerful images pretty constantly reinforce attacks So in truth it only provides a momentary stall in an assault
Although if I do ever run into someone else who uses the image physicalization method I have a pretty hard counter to them
Bah fighting you is so aggravating Helen muttered Then she aimed another glare at Randidly Alright you made a shitty copy of my Domain It even has some interesting parts that I have no doubt will grow fucking strong The foundation is solid Happy now
Randidly shook his head helplessly No not really But I do want to say thank you I would never well Sulfur and I would never have been able to accomplish this is not for you So anything that I manage has your hand on it You will always be a part of me I hope you know that
Of course Helen snorted You arenÆt alone in this you know Besides why are you being so emotional You donÆt need to pour so much of yourself into protecting us We manage quite well without your fussing
RandidlyÆs smile grew strained HelenÆs eyes narrowed with suspicion and for a second and he understood that she might realize something So he pulled himself out of the Dreamcatcher of the Long Night The sunlight waiting for him on the mountain was blinding He blinked several times while letting out a hissing breath between his teeth
He allowed himself a few minutes of melancholy musings staring out over the shifting mists Then he patted his legs and straightened
Stayed in there longer than I thought Almost time to move forward Randidly said to himself He raised his new arm and flexed the fingers Then he nodded Alright Alright LetÆs get to the summit For all the people that have helped me get here
The group moved quickly through the dark underbelly of the Nexus All of them possessed plenty of methods to move extremely fast so they ghosted through locations so quickly that even if a group was warned of their coming they would miss them The Patron of the Sun led the way blazing forward with Velio Dunn right on his heels In the middle was the Patron of Blades and the Patron of Blooms who craned their necks during the journey like they wanted nothing more than a vacation after being stuck in the Sanctum for so long
