Devick felt strange moving in a world given to her A moment plucked and presented by Hungry Eye Her image the accumulation of all the experiences she had in her life And finally the foundation
It was the memory itself the identity and regret founded before it had become a pseudo Dungeon ThatÆs why it had to be someone from within the memory who struck this blow and could not be Hungry Eye himself Because she needed to believe in the place of her birth But also in the possibility of another existence
Devick raised the temporal dagger/fell scythe She didnÆt forget HankÆs advice Wake up LetÆs stop dreaming And start advancing
She cut her weapon at the blazing energy form of Pine who was the obvious choice for the Dungeon boss when Neveah had adjusted the environment and completed the barrier Even the universe soulÆs rippling energies were frozen due to the immense Nether wielded by Hungry Eye The weapon cut through the energy and struck at the core of its being
The dagger unraveled in DevickÆs numbed hands All the twisted waves ripped outward The corrosion of her image spread black corruption bubbling up the veins of MaliceÆs right arm to the shoulder Her lovely crimson furr rotted away But for the backlash to be this strong Pine absorbed an even more ominous amount of dangerously jagged time
Perhaps even then Pine could have endured it If he had wanted to But from the beginning Hungry Eye had made his plea plainly and Pine had agreed to put his thumb on the scales just slightly to help that result occur Put another way Devick herself wasnÆt truly important for the foundation that Neveah and Hungry Eye envisioned She was just an appropriate ambassador to send to the real target
Just like Hungry Eye said Devick felt surprised A shape individually the requirements didnÆt necessarily point to me But in conjunction
Pine did not resist her strike His consciousness was obliterated His body began to unravel the dangerous explosion of his ruptured existence still held at bay for the moment due to the absolute power Devick wielded in this moment

Chapter 2331
Randidly grimaced as he fought against existence for the second time today The pulse of time grew stronger with each wave he resisted and kept his Seize activated His Nether Core churned and chugged revving against the resistance But this time he had the weight of Lowanna and the memory behind him
He endured He grinned He triumphed for a single moment All fell within his palm
With all the power coursing through his body and his Nether Core he set the stage for another to shine And at that moment Devick answered his expectations She flew up and unleashed the horrid weapon made by Westrisser slashing the Pine the Dungeon Boss
For a few moments after the strike Randidly kept his grip on the moment absolute Devick slowly began to fall away from the location of the impact exhausted from the ordeal Her weapon flaked right out of her hands grey petals drifting away from a dying rose And when she had fallen far enough Randidly allowed the grand Nether Ritual around him to release
Neveah instantly exploded into motion flitting up grabbing Devick and escaping the area with the AlchemistÆs Passport Because when the moment passed and PineÆs body began to fail dangerous forces that Randidly had never witnessed before ripped outward from the corpse A neon orange energy that smelled sweet but shredded space images and significance like paper began ripping open the memory with jagged wires Randidly had difficulty believing what his senses told him fabricated existence was wet paper and these new forces were butcherÆs knives
Against this raw and unstable form of destruction Randidly released a low breath He gathered himself and considered He had only used about a third of LowannaÆs significance to give Devick her platform but surviving the fallout was just as important Now was not a time to skimp on energy He spoke again a different pillar burning with meaning The Fourth Authority Animation Nova
He had been planning to use Intangible Burial to clean up the apocalypse level fallout but just a single look at those bright orange waves made him understand it wouldnÆt be such a pretty clean up A burial might even be impossible Instead he poured out wave after wave of pure green life generating a dome of well being that simply existed as fodder for this rampaging destruction
The sky became a hurricane aurora as neon orange battled against the soft green of fresh cut grass Above them the burning gold eye of Pine completely closed eaten away by the lingering notes of grey
Unfortunately PineÆs complete collapse only released a nova of those frazzled orange energy waves The added pressure made his Nether Core begin to struggle
Sweat began to pour down his brow as Randidly channeled energy through his body to the limit The orange energy burned through all of the significance that Lowanna gathered leaving almost nothing behind All of the Nether people here little skimmed moments of their lives were devoured to sate the hunger of this exodus event The energy hacked downward radiating out from PineÆs position overhead and heading toward the ground
Remnant images and clouds were annihilated in searing series of expanding sweeps Even with all the significance donated to him the Animation Nova grew thin
But just barely they made it The orange energy turned sluggish and tapered away The destructive forces faded
For a moment the colors in the sky began to settle The Dungeon Barrier shivered as though balking at the prospect of what came next Aether constructs triggered and began to hum across the whole of the memory
Randidly wiped his lips with his hands And now for my final trick
The eye of Pine opened once more
After all in the Dungeons with a designated boss it needed to be revived for the next set of challengers to escape
And the birth of Pine even if just an echo of a memory flooded the air with such rich vibrant and chaotic energy that Randidly couldnÆt believe it He let out a shocked laughù exactly this result had been what he had aimed for the whole time but it was another thing entirely to experience it Especially after being denied repeatedly in his attempts He breathed in and all of the accumulated weariness the small wounds the strain on his images and Nether Core healed He felt cleansed and purified
He had failed three times today But the results of those failures had changed the environment enough to make the final result a resounding success They might not have been able to cause a Pinnacle event to occur in the present but they managed to create an echo of the original Pinnacle event that created the Nexus
Perhaps too that was an important symbol A new future could be opened reframed from a repeated beginning
The Second Authority Hollow Needle Randidly whispered drawing on the fumes of his Nether Core But he shouldnÆt need much energy for this last part He raised the implement dipped it into the thick rivers of energy flowing around in the area and began to sew his Class back together
Neveah I picked this path Randidly closed his eyes IÆm not scared of where it leads
I wish you would be She sighed The notifications for his Class evolutions finally arrived
