While the shade spoke Randidly didnÆt cease his preparations Truly only a thin amount of the Grand Pattern flowed down into the area Without the chaotic ripples Randidly had to generate the storm forcibly on his own However the lashing movements of his tail and the fangs cutting through the air had enough power to quickly accomplish it The wind billowed and seethed at his direction

Congratulations Your Skill Cutting Tide of Amenonuhoko has grown to Level 579

Congratulations Your Skill (Domain) Resonant Fangs of Extinction has grown to Level 414

Once the maelstrom had been established itself Nether began to bubble and twitch branching outward while alternating between preternaturally fast jerks of motion and quivering stillness The Nether foundation soon covered the surrounding ten meters and whipped the winds even more quickly Natural energy surged to follow RandidlyÆs will creating empowered wind blades that shredded the air His storm began to buzz

You The Lizakh goggled Then it hastily took a fighting stance If you think this ostentatious display is enough

Crimson lightning crackled along the edge of the storm Strange radiance began to creep through the middle portions of the storm quickly hidden by the shifting currents The wind howled and the surrounding air shivered before the fearsome weave of energies Almost a third of the step was covered by the grinding maelstrom The shade stood at the edge being forced back just by the pressure the storm released

Randidly took a step forward His eyes blazed So Your palm attack

Chapter 1824

Number One walked forward his back straight and proud Even as he ground his teeth to keep up appearances According to his stated desires the group of four was exactly the sort of thing that infuriated him This outcome would have brought him a great deal of grief

That fool Number Two is dedicated to a fault Since it is his invited he definitely feels responsible for this lucky girl Meanwhile Number Four was clearly the individual who leaked the information that this girl won to Number Two HeÆs here to watch the show only no matter how imperative he suddenly claims that it is he sees Master And I am furious IÆm worried IÆm frustrated And IÆm increasingly desperate

As he thought about each of the emotions he allowed his facial features to change to reflect those emotions His portrayals felt flawless But he suddenly realized the woman behind him was watching him carefully as the emotions passed through the medium of his face

He gave her a tired smile covering everything up He was a great being caught in a moment of weakness by an inferior his embarrassment was understandable But something about her eyes shifted his focus Inwardly Number One reviewed her information Original Planet Expira Hum I havenÆt heard of that Yet it also sounds so familiar When did I become so idle that I recognized minor planets

The group reached the end of the tunnel and arrived at the base of the Path of the Spirit In the middle of the cavern in front of them a massive pillar of white energy blazed upward connecting the powerful energies below with the powerful energies above The Spirit Path was perhaps the most dangerous of the three paths at least in theory It required balance between the inner patterns and outer and punished you for failing at either Only through this connection could they take an elevator up to where the Master spent all of his time training

So long as Master responded Which did give Number One a bit of trepidation

Number One vented that emotion by turning and glaring at Number Two and Number Four They were the true source of the pressure he felt Number Two didnÆt even appear to notice that fool was probably even now practicing the Grand Pattern in his mind Number Four looked hurt as though the child like traitor couldnÆt figure out why Number One would be mad at him

Snorting Number One looked back at the pillar of light Even if they both represented threats he was still Number One Alright we will ascend together then Once we reach the Master Miss Silver it is important that you remain completely respectful

It started small but within only a second the entire cavern around them was shaking The vaulted ceilings trembled and cracked It seemed the area was nearing a collapse Number One frowned upward believing that the Master was just engaging in a particularly destructive training session Yet the rumbling continued to grow worse

Large chunks of stone fell from the ceiling and crashed on the ground

Then he felt pain right above his heart where the connection to his path resided Number One hissed and raised a hand to his chest feeling this disturbance impact the Path of Bone What the hell Is Master losing control of the Path of Spirit Or could something have happened on the Path of Blood IÆve been so careful

A voice blasted out interrupting Number OneÆs wild speculation Elhume you bastard How dare you intrude on my sacred space We had an agreement

The shaking grew worse as the entire group paled If what Master said was correct and Elhume was truly attacking the sacred Mountain

They would be squished to nothing without any tension Number One dared plot but before true power there was little that he could do

Do you think IÆm dead Do you think I donÆt notice how distracted you are ARGGHH You dirty fuck

Influence +7 901

As they walked over toward the stairs to the next step Randidly patted the Lizakh warrior on the back It was very easy to be in a good mood after receiving such a gushing surge of Influence from the shade after his victory DonÆt take the loss to heart If IÆm being honest my method of utilizing the Grand Pattern can be considered cheating The fact that your seven palms was able to penetrate that deeply into my storm is pretty impressive without an image

ItÆs not seven palms its one strike The Lizakh warrior sighed His expression was drooped and exhausted Combined with the insubstantial body the effect was making him look quite pitiable Today for whatever reason I felt especially good I even thought I could push my One Strike Seven Deaths Palm to new heights Perhaps even evolve it entirely To think I ended fully three meters away from touching you and triumphing and the storm only grew more powerful the deeper I penetrated

Well letÆs not get ahead of ourselves I still could have produced Acri Or used one of the Fangs to neutralize the force of your palm Or gathered up a bunch of natural energy and unleashed it in a highly destructive blast Randidly continued to pat the LizakhÆs back However to be able to push five meters into the storm weathering the electromagnetic radiation light radiation Nether and natural energy is pretty impressive

I also appreciate that you directly surrendered after that Probably saved me quite a bit of time

Randidly began to climb the stairs heading to the next opponent Immediately the physical restriction on him increased by another 3% He moved his arms around savoring the restriction it probably hadnÆt been since he had broken past the 1000 Stat barrier that he had felt so stifled But after a few steps he turned and looked at the Lizakh warrior Oh you are coming up with me

The Lizakh warrior regained a small amount of haughtiness Why not Challengers come through here so rarely Besides I might find it mm educational to watch you battle against the other guardians They are all more powerful than me and significantly so

RandidlyÆs turned away to hide a smile You mean you want to see me beaten up huh Well considering how much Influence you gave me I wonÆt hold it against you Plus if you are climbing with me anyway

Would it be possible to see your Skill for utilizing the Grand Pattern again Randidly asked Consider it payment for the entertainment in the other challenges I think IÆd find it highly educational
