When he awoke he had received a reply from Patron of the Sun Unfortunately it didnÆt contain any useful information
As I explained previously none of us were included on the expedition to slay the ordained being of karma But considering the context it is very likely that black haired young man is exactly that intimidating individuals The three scenes you saw were also unfamiliar to me none of the other Patrons recognized the locations you described or who might be speaking based on the words
However I might be able to provide some insight into the behavior of that ordained being of karma who assisted you This is a being that exists by deserving everything it receives This provides them with domineering power but there are also esoteric restrictions on their actions Consider their behavior as perhaps a way to lay the foundation for their eventual escape
Especially after having so many complex and confusing interactions with Don BeigonÆs system of favors this possibility made Randidly shiver He pushed himself up in the sand and hoped that the Don was able to remove the rebels from his Skull of Truth and he wouldnÆt have one more bad guy to handle in order to keep Expira safe from dangerous influences
Just as he was going to head back over to Claudette a familiar feeling rose in his chest Reign of the Eidolon Crucible activated Shrugging to himself resigning himself to another instance of him sleeping in and making Claudette wait Randidly laid himself down and let the Skill carry him away
Very quickly he felt a sense of relief that he could find no traces of DevickÆs madness amongst the images of Kharon Of course it was possible that her lingering parasites were waiting in his current form for his return to his body but that meant he had time to prepare
At the very least his mind was clear
He soon arrived on the streets of Kharon standing tall and proud on the grand steps in front of City Hall The thoroughfares around him were packed with insubstantial bodies of the population He sensed confusion from many of them truthfully it had been quite some time since the last Eidolon Crucible Quite a few new arrivals marveled at this strange mass dream However he once more felt a steel core that formed the spine of their resistance
A group of specter people with the distinct tang of Tatiana and Derek Moss at their head marched forward through the crowd and pointed at Randidly They released a silent roar and suddenly Kharon mobilized both its collective image and its individual ones aiming to attack Randidly and shred him to pieces
This time The powerful roar of the populace said This time we shall overcome you We have grown
Randidly smiled considering for several seconds which of his recently learned lessons to teach the people of Expira Then he shook his shoulders to rouse himself and began to weave a storm around him
This was not his usual storm of natural force but instead Randidly tugged at the emotional energy in the surrounding dream After dealing with Devick and Don Beigon who both wielded emotional force effortlessly he understood how surprisingly practical the hidden half of Aether truly was It drew less attention than shape but its flexibility and adaptability more than made up for that
The attacks rushed toward Randidly but he was in no hurry He traced the lines of emotional resonance and used his insight from Synechdochence to create a proper environment Then just as the strikes were about to land he used his superior emotional leverage to rip away the emotion leaving them as unmoored shapes
Congratulations Your Skill Reign of the Eidolon Crucible has grown to Level 402
Congratulations Your Skill Conviction of the Celestial Cataclysm has grown to Level 605
The insubstantial building projections began to sway as Randidly stole away emotional force and became the center of a monstrous force of nature The image attacks slowed as they were buffeted by the flows of emotion and they bounced harmlessly away when they reached the core area Without emotion steadying them they couldnÆt even touch him
Randidly grinned Then he unleashed the building emotional force tearing down the buildings and blasting away the spectral population

However just as he felt himself relaxing he received a message from Commandant Wick
Considering your recent actions in this Beigon debacle I am initiating a formal disciplinary inquiry against you Mr Ghosthound Please report to my office in the next six hours so you might be judged
Chapter 1876
Congratulations Your Skill Cursed Fate of the Unborn Duo has grown to Level 887
Randidly spared a wry glance for the notification that popped up in front of him as he read Commandant WickÆs message A vicious smile warped his face as he focused down on the dirty knuckles of his hands In the end this is definitely more complicated than just a disciplinary hearing if the Skill relating to Devick activated in response to a message from Wick But even if this matter isnÆt simple
