Honestly just remembering the second made Randidly grimace He had truly failed had Neveah not been there to intervene and wrap the memory in the trappings of a Dungeon everything would have fallen apart
Luckily for him she had been ready And now a deeper pattern had begun to form in the memory Deep barely perceptible currents brushed the significance into monstrous patterns that could change the world Looming before him was his third attempt the endeavor to create enough energy to heal his Class by trigger the reach of a Pinnacle
Even now Randidly felt annoyed by the inert Attribute MuseÆs Reverie the one he had worked so hard to obtain He remembered those moments of inflection over the past week which should have earned him additional MuseÆs Reverie Which would have unlocked that powerful Reverie mode
And let me preserve this version of you maybe Randidly glanced sideways at Devick
The red haired woman flinched almost defensive at his sudden movement They had simply been standing here for the last ten minutes as Randidly looked up at the sky and considered What Did you really need to consider for so long Leave a little girl a bit of mystery IÆm not going to tell you about my Class
Randidly blinked having completely forgotten what they had been talking about Her Grand Fate had sounded rather impressive although the word PerditionÆ came along with rather unfortunate connotations A smile quirked the edge of his mouth amusement cutting through his concern for the next attempt You win this round Devick But donÆt let this victory get to your head
If nothing else IÆm very confident of remaining untainted by vanity Devick batted her eyelashes at him earning a full laugh
A few more bits of the crumpled mental soreness eased out of RandidlyÆs forehead The small joy of laughter couldnÆt completely make up for the exhaustion he had built up this far but it was at least a start
However he didnÆt have much time Can you help me IÆd like you to draw a pattern on the ground here
He pulled a scroll out of an interspatial ring and held up his right hand For a few seconds a bead of Mana burned on the tip of his finger Then it hopped off onto the scroll and began to spiral outward in gorgeous patterns Even while the Mana bead finished the drawing he tossed it DevickÆs way
He flickered out of existence just as she caught the scroll and opened her mouth to reply As much as Randidly could use whatever nonsense she would likely throw his way he also needed to be somewhere else very soon
As he streaked across the battlefield he glanced up at the sky one more time But this glance caught a new detail from beyond the limits of the memory Randidly could feel Aether constructs gathering into a bunch He bit his lip The time difference meant he had the advantage but he definitely needed to hurry if Elhume was trying to make trouble for him
He was a whisper moving through the Aether soldiers and Nether warriors After her time bridging between two Aether Systems the Songstress of Absence made him practically undetectable as he crossed the battlefield Of the two threats Deganawidah only observed his movements and the Prophet was too intent on settling up his circle around the core of the Nether camp to stop his movements
So with a soft tap Randidly put his bare foot down against the dirt in the middle of the Nether power and grinned around Deganawidah Enmya What a pleasant surprise to find you all gathered here
Enmya bristled at RandidlyÆs presence but Deganawidah just seemed tired You truly have no respect for anything even yourself Your existence frays and for what
Ignoring that annoyingly accurate comment Randidly looked past them to the woman with black wicker handcuffs Nether Arbiter I believe it is about time we spoke
Chapter 2310
Lowanna the Nether Arbiter felt exhausted Doubly so as Nether King Hungry Eye appeared before her with deep bags under his eyes but a wild grin like the two of them were committing some eldritch taboo together by labeling Nether connections
And what made her heart ache was he was probably correct
Before she could respond Enmya snorted He had been releasing heavy sighs and pacing for a while now waiting for an opportunity to vent some of his frustrations Hungry EyeÆs presence was exactly the excuse he needed Leave untethered Nether King Before my patience comes to an end Your interference will no longerù
Enmya Lowanna huffed out her words Her long time companion might want to lash out but they couldnÆt afford the distraction Her fingers twitched like the legs of an idle centipede Do not interfere It is true that Nether King Hungry Eye and I have much to discuss for example why he has so thoroughly tried to mar this world with his energies In addition what thickening barrier have you erected around us
LowannaÆs eyes flicked to patterns in the sky that arced toward the horizon She could see them replicating and strengthening themselves even as she watched Beyond them parts of the Nexus suddenly lay dangerously Of course she also sensed the strange presence of another reality creeping closer So much of the bedrock of existence that she had taken for granted now seemed in flux The efforts of Hungry Eye appeared to be foiling that encroaching force but she wished to understand why one third of the Nexus needed to be tossed away
I mean you have to admit all my tempestuous capabilities really were much ado about nothing Hungry Eye shrugged still with that crooked grin on his face But that new barrier well We started a process to turn this into a Dungeon The very same sort of zone that Westrisser constructs Only this new Dungeon is attached to my reality Congratulations you will soon experience the distant and modern reverberations from this war if you wish to know your fate
LowannaÆs extremities felt cold Both the strange disapproving gaze of Deganawidah and the open hostility and worry from Enmya weighed heavily on her She wanted to be able to physically pick up their attentions and shred them into little scraps of paper Because she could not she focused all of her antagonism on Hungry Eye YouÆve made so many claims YouÆve shown me much and I can feel your belief in what you say but youÆve also asked me for a monstrous sin against my people Against all the innocents Iù those I spend every second of my days trying to protectù
For a moment the mundane acidic emotions that she couldnÆt avoid developing choked Lowanna to silence Into that opening Hungry Eye spoke with a soft voice We discussed a balance a return to the true equilibrium of utilizing all three bonds across a single people Without this unity
Sacrilege and stupidity Deganawidah hissed
Hungry Eye shook his head even while the sounds of fighting behind him grew louder the agents of the Cult of the Savior drew closer to their location I know what IÆm asking of you But there is no other choice Specificity brings with it drawbacks but also great strengths
How convenient for you that you stand to benefit so much from these strengths while you bare so little of the drawbacks Her fingers twitched Lowanna found she didnÆt really care anymore Too much buzzed around her head Too many emotions clouded her vision She had held back for so long
And against this man she need not pull her punches
So she raised her hands a grin similar to Hungry EyeÆs own springing into existence across her face I do have an answer for you Nether King But I will not give it freely Show me you truly understand Nether well enough to best me One last duel with everything on the line If you win I will provide your answer If you do not
Randidly glanced behind him Then he looked forward In real time Lowanna could see his aura sharpening Despite how meager the reserves Nether King possessed based on the strain wrapped around his body he whittled that down to a razor point He hefted that mental blade with its edge aimed at her heart His smile widened A challenge it is
Her significance roared and pounced once it found that point The gleaming woven core to Hungry EyeÆs assault which allowed him to achieve so much more success than he had in the past couldnÆt be repositioned If he attempted to dodge her attack his whole offensive would collapse and the Nether King would have failed She wouldnÆt need to vocalize and name this horrid truth she had encountered
