Congratulations Your Skill Cursed Fates of the Unborn has grown to Level 53

How the hell am I gaining Skill Levels so quickly Hopefully its not because the curse on my body is growing stronger

He ignored the continued stream of notifications and pushed upward through the mist Pebbles skittered underneath his feet tiny kickballs knocked around by the slug like haunts that now played in the corners of his vision The gradient grew steeper as he continued too so Randidly grunted with the exertion of proceeding

His Grim Intuition sometimes caught the briefest hint of the other shades creeping behind him including the short and long haired Devick But then the Unborn swarmed back and the shades could only retreat leaving Randidly alone in the mist

RandidlyÆs jaw briefly dropped He couldnÆt suppress the impulse to look at Unborn which made them melt and recede The quivering carp heaved a sigh of relief But then Randidly raised his gaze toward the vast blue sky and the feeding frenzy continued with renewed enthusiasm These Unborn can devour other significance and turn it into my Influence

Influence +14 993

Congratulations Your Skill Cursed Fates of the Unborn has grown to Level 150

By now Randidly was only a few Influence short of five hundred thousand Which meant he could either choose to upgrade his Nether Core or weaponize these Unborn to absorb an obscene amount of Influence thereby increasing his Weight permanently

But as soon as that thought occurred to Randidly his expression grew cloudy He pursed his lips Ideally I could allow these strange spirits to develop but there are two problems First there is the matter of Devick If she still exists somewhere in the Nexus would she have some power over me if I keep these as part of my Aether and significance And secondly thereÆs the matter of the curse Devick left Devouring this strange carp which seems to be the controller of this Path is one thing but if I donÆt find and slay the Master of the entire Mountain

A pop pulled RandidlyÆs attention to the side The familiar figure of the bearded man who had introduced Randidly to the Grand Pattern suddenly appeared on the summit next to him In the pond the Unborn reacted to the arrival of this strange by furiously swallowing the few remaining tidbits of the carp However they didnÆt eat its flesh just sapped something vital from it A ghastly depleted grey carp remained as they retreated

Influence +2 101

The bearded man looked around and then boomed out a laugh Ha Ahaahaha You made it to the summit This is better than I could have hoped for You

RandidlyÆs leg twitched as the Unborn scurried up the back of his calf congregating in a massive spectral mass behind his lower back Their small fingers tickled his sides as they peeked out around to view this interloper with suspicion

However what had interrupted the bearded man was the arrival of another bearded individual this one looking like he had used a few more years cultivating his facial hair and his dignified aura In addition to his leonine visage his presence immediately affected the patterns on the summit

The UnbornÆs fingers sharpened and dug into RandidlyÆs side as they looked at that man

The newest arrival surveyed the summit in but a moment before snorting powerfully and unleashed a blast of the Grand Pattern His furious eyes turned to the first arrival If you think that this strange helper will be able to eh

The new man blinked at Randidly who waved a hand and used ripples to weaken the Grand Pattern blast until it lapped harmlessly against him His eyes narrowed as he studied this powerful figure So considering the reaction of the Unborn you are the Master huh

Perfect The man with the lesser beard grinned Then he gestured grandly No reason to delay I officially contest the Path of Blood

His shout echoed across the summit with a surging momentum but otherwise nothing happened Randidly was unsure of what he was supposed to witness but both of the bearded individuals seemed stunned by this lack of development

You The bearded man looked up toward the sky How my remnant consciousness has been devoured Impossible

As surreptitiously as possible Randidly reached down into the pond and grabbed the carp no matter what was going on he needed to draw the Master out into a fight in order to confront the curse Devick had created It only took a glance to note that both were similarly restricted by this are they could utilize the Grand Pattern but couldnÆt manifest their own images And under those circumstances Randidly was very confident in his ability to endure and survive

Plus based on how antagonistic the two seemed to each other so long as Randidly had some leverage

As soon as he touched the carp Randidly realized he had made a mistake Just like with DevickÆs shades a large portion of his Nether unspooled and flew up to fill the sky The dizzying rush made him sway and almost collapse He was unsure of the details but Randidly surmised that he had now somehow claimed ownership of the Path of Blood

Both of the bearded men swung to face Randidly in the very next moment From their expressions they had sensed the same thing he did Neither seemed very pleased with this development

Chapter 1839

The strained moment of indecision endured for several seconds as the three individuals on the summit of the Path of Blood considered how to proceed The Master eyed both of the challengers to his authority suspiciously The man who had invited RandidlyÆs mouth worked without sound hinting at the chaotic mess of his mind

And Randidly watched them both his attention split equally between figuring out what sort of power he had obtained by grabbing the carp and estimating his own chances of surviving in a conflict with both of them The lines around his eyes tightened as he admitted to himself it would be difficult Even if IÆm quite sturdy and their images are limited by the Mountain and even if I have so many new abilities that I canÆt figure them all out they are both old figures in the Nexus Against both of them

Randidly kept his gaze focused and intense hiding the unease he felt Showing weakness now would be a very bad idea

Luckily when someone finally broke the silence Randidly wasnÆt the chosen target

The Master snorted with even more gusto than he had previously stirring complex patterns into being around his body They gathered especially closely around his left arm His narrowed eyes regarded the other man Number One Even I must admit that IÆm surprised by what you have accomplished Who knew that you had created a piece that could climb the Path of Blood under his own power But even so your rebellion was poorly conceived

For a brief moment Number OneÆs face flickered with indecision He glanced at Randidly clearly weighing his options On the one hand he could agree with the MasterÆs incorrect read that this was all his plan Yet it was clear he saw Randidly as a rogue element From Number OneÆs response when he first appeared he definitely didnÆt expect him to climb this high Combined with the fact that even now RandidlyÆs consciousness continued to spread across the sky Upstodatee from

the more RandidlyÆs consciousness spread the more the lingering clouds and remnant breezes above took on a particular flavor Because of his inexperience with whatever ability he had just gained the patterns on the whole of the Path of Blood began to take on the organization he had invented to become the Moirae of Ripples He tried to slow that transition but his attempts of were understandably rough it was like acquiring a new and unfamiliar limb His first few experiments resulted in little more than flailing And flying with this broad power

The clouds darkened above them The winds hadnÆt yet coalesced to become a maelstrom yet but RandidlyÆs attempts to control his ability seemed to just hasten the process The consciousness in the sky based on him seemed to take his movements as prodding to accelerate its efforts to overwhelm the surroundings
