The environment is barely acceptable but there isnÆt any choice Randidly pressed his lips together Already he gathered the ripples that Devick created in her charge but there wouldnÆt be enough time to draw them into his storm Each moment saw a new surge of Nether spreading out from him but this also would take a few more seconds before it reached the levels he wanted Alright Devick LetÆs see how my Nether measures up
A pinch of Nether flared to life in front of Devick rapidly inflating to become a barn sized explosion of force Devick reacted quickly raising her arms and tearing the wave of rejection apart but she stumbled and slowed from the impact almost dropping into the water
Maybe 65% I can do better than that Randidly reached out and seized upon the energy released by the impact pulling it all together around him Winds brushed at his hair as the storm began to accumulate The air darkened and mist began to gather around his person
A slow and genuine smile spread across DevickÆs face Randidly Ghosthound are you dabbling with a Nether Core when they are forbidden within the Nexus Haha I knew I liked you even if you continue to house those two irritating maggots And more than dabbling that was Synechdochence wasnÆt it Well well well How immense is your potential I wonder And how long will you be able to handle me right now Ha
And with that Devick blurred into motion once more faster than before Randidly narrowed his eyes just like he improved from their brief clashes so too did Devick adapt and improve constantly The constant race for an edge was quite terrifying
But those few seconds of speech from Devick allowed Randidly to strengthen his grip on the surrounding space Nether and natural force gushed in thick rivers around him quickly creating visual distortions through the mist The beginnings of electromagnet discharge began to crackle When Devick accelerated Randidly already reached out and gripped several pinches of Nether that popped around her aiming to crunch her from several directions at once
Devick reacted Her legs flexed out and she bounced herself downward avoiding the crush Then she stepped forming a foothold midair with pure emotional force and streaked the last forty meters to arrive before Randidly
Now what Devick cackled triumph clear on her face She raised a fist
Randidly opened his right hand and unleashed a concentrated burst of natural energy He could only gather energy from her movements and the few pinches of Nether he unleashed but it was still a potent attack that made his wrist ache
The blast of pure force struck Devick in the gut even as she was a few meters away from Randidly A look of genuine surprise crossed her face and she reeled backward and crashed down onto the shattered stone by the lakeshore
RandidlyÆs eyes blazed emerald as he mobilized his Nether and ripped several large holes in the lakeshore where she had landed It was a carpet bombardment Unfortunately there was something about the lake that drained away ambient natural force however
Grimacing Randidly scrambled back Devick erupted from the ground beneath him her hand curled into a claw she had used her crash landing as a cover to dig through the ground and approach him
Even this didnÆt work Devick pouted Then she blurred again becoming a deadly dervish that lashed out several times in quick succession at Randidly Her limbs seemed to bend like whips as they lashed him He tried to grip her with Cutting Tides of Amenonuhoko to restrict her movements but she tore right through his restrictions He dodged sideways and she followed
Her fist blurred upward and Randidly jerked his head back She twisted into a heel kick and he stepped forward under the typhoon like strike His palm strike she deflected almost thoughtlessly Randidly unleashed a flaring burst of Nether that impacted her back but she didnÆt flinch With RandidlyÆs body she became a titan of aggression Her limbs lashed outward forcing him back directly toward the edge of the lake
Are you afraid of swimming Devick grinned at him Why donÆt you and I take a dip IÆm sure it will be quite refreshing
Chapter 1865
Devick accelerated further growing increasingly proficient with creating her own emotional footholds Randidly distantly wanted to use this opportunity to copy the capability she demonstrated but he had already set himself on the path of using his Nether and his brain was already so consumed with those subtle calculations that he needed to allow that improvement to wait until later
Plus he hadnÆt realized how much difference the emotional holds would make he could do something similar by relying on images and Skills but the combination of unpredictability and absolute force of his body made a difference
When Randidly had made footholds of roots in the past he had moved in much the same way that he had on physical land Light touches from hid prodigious physique to annihilate distance But Devick threw her everything into every movement Randidly would need a bit of practice just to make sure his roots could handle the amount of force she exerted
But then her attack continued and he let all those thoughts drop away
He swayed past a brutal punch gathering all the natural force Devick generated into his veins The tendons of his body thrummed with the contained power However whenever Randidly made a move to unleash the blast Devick retreated After seeing it once she understood his trick and would happily allow him to discharge his built up force harmlessly into the air
So Randidly could only grit his teeth and continue to accumulate They fought on the shattered stones of the lakeÆs beach Devick utilizing the fullest potential of RandidlyÆs body and suppressing him while Randidly used intermittent blasts of Nether to slow her down long enough to impact the surroundings with his storm
He smashed her leg with a blast of force and Devick stumbled but she somehow transitioned smoothly into a roll that brought her a few inches closer to Randidly When she erupted from the ground he was forced to adjust his footing and sway around her haymaker Then she stepped bolding forward and aimed a kick at his chest
This he slipped under and whipped his fist against her side burning with flames of Nether Weight Just like he had absorbed her scratches she shrugged off his attack with a grunt Then she pivoted and wrapped a leg around her waist
The move was so unexpected that Randidly was a fraction of a second slow in reacting Then he unleashed a bombardment of Nether that staggered Devick but she was already so close to him She would definitely
The natural energy surged through RandidlyÆs limbs crackling with potent force But Devick stepped backward and pirouetted winking at him as she spun His muscles burned as he pulled that ready to explode energy and pressurized it back within his body His hand flexed and he grabbed up the surrounding ripples
Just you wait Randidly used the space to unleash more flares of Nether around Devick His adjustments in the environment were steadily improving meaning that his true Synechdochence was probably closer to 80% Soon IÆll have enough natural energy that I can blast this entire lake off the face of this desert
However while Randidly did his best to keep from retreating Devick was relentless Her strikes were sharp and incisive And if nothing else she had quickly mastered his bodyÆs ability to shrug off damage and push through pain Step by step he was being forced back toward the lake RandidlyÆs strikes were deflected and her staggered him His stomach continued to flip back and forth unnerved by its proximity of the queer sapphire water
Randidly ground his teeth together frustrated He was losing ground and he knew it Devick was too quick in her improvements She adjusted the vector of her attacks and began to anticipate his possessing a preternatural sort of memory that reminded Randidly of his early days on Tellus fighting against the nearly prescient Azriel
She stomped the ground and crack the stone destabilizing his footing He resolved himself to try his own hand at absorbing punishment but he couldnÆt just base himself and absorb force like she could When she chopped toward Randidly with her hand he had to avoid it or risk being blown backward
