But would it be in time
In the end I can always pull Yggdrasil out if I need it And the power Level of the fill in Skillset has really improved Randidly allowed his awareness to leave his Soulspace and return to his body He blinked several times looking at the tense faces of those around him Soldiers hurried back and forth their expressions twisted into scowls Over by the grand array the mood had clearly chilled
Randidlys gaze immediately snapped to Neveah What is it Did something happen
honestly no we just have a bit more context Neveah clenched her hands and then forced them to relax Reports are coming in from across the Nexus Not that they are killed by the process but having the Actus Suprem rip out all of the power gifted through Grand Fates knocks the victim into a coma As of yet we havent found anyone who has recovered from this state Even with healers encouraging them
Randidly shivered he hadnt really considered the smaller consequences of Devicks actions just the monstrous amount of image power she would extract
Thats the problem of reaching the heights of power Randidlys thoughts darkened A lot of the advantages that Ive used to climb up to this position you miss them from above Details pass beneath you And just as inevitably weaker individuals die because those details are vital for their survival
Without the nudge of necessity its very easy to become blind
Orders Raymund Ballast brought his fist to his chest as Randidlys expression changed
His emerald eyes gleaming Randidly stood and rolled his shoulders His gaze went from Neveah to Alana to the nervous representative from the Upper Sonara Society to Charlotte Wick and DiOrtho Vant toying with their weapons Finally Randidly Ghosthound looked at the leader of his Vulpis Squad Fury made his voice smolder Prepare to move We are going to kick down Elhumes door and stop the Actus Suprem as quickly as possible
Yes The soldiers roared back up at him The significance shivered in pleasure
Randidly slipped the key through existence following the source of all dread in the Nexus He didnt attempt to drill through everything and arrive at the final result Just by peering through existence at the halos he could tell defenses had been erected Even to his extremely meticulous mind the layers and folding of space around Elhumes main base left him somewhat lightheaded
He ripped open a portal wide enough to hover in front of them like a lake And then he led the way to stand right outside their final destination Randidlys skin prickled as he looked up at the mountains that sealed away Elhumes physical body He suppressed the impulse to swear
At the very least I now understand why it fucking shattered my Class just to have this being look at me
Even though they came with intentions of violence the entire group paused and looked up at the glittering crystal majesty in front of them The peaks rose high enough that even Randidlys powerful vision couldnt reach them The jagged peaks seemed to stretch out endlessly to the left and right the concentrated energy as large as a country
Randidly wondered if this was what it was like for travelers to come up to the highlands and raise their heads to the Himalayas on his old planet A row of twisted and flawed protrusions of crystal filled the area directly ahead of them almost resembling pearly teeth The Aether around them was so dense that a misty half formed shroud of energy covered their bases And the raw power radiating off of their presence
And the jagged maw of mountains was only a fraction of the whole
Even from this distance the oppressive energy of the crystal mountains sizzled against his skin He breathed out and unleashed the Dread Homunculus A vast darkness spread out from him wrapping himself and his people in a protective barrier
Congratulations Your Skill Ghosthounds Cloak of a Thousand Lightless Horizons has grown to Level 1143
Almost makes us seem like the bad guys Approaching under the cover of darkness DiOrtho Vant observed
Randidly shrugged while tugging on a string given to him by Solomon Rex Isnt that the conceit That if you stay around long enough eventually you become the villain Some young upstart leads a revolution to tear everything youve built down
Neveah shot Randidly a warning look but Solomon Rex already materialized next to him The slim humanoid looked up at the mountain range of crystalized Aether with his violet eyes His presence added a stream of significance to the growing cataclysm above their heads Ah So I see its time to finally slay this beast
How do we get in Randidly said annoyed at having to rely on this very unreliable ally so soon His eyes scanned the fault lines of the energy monolith in front of them There were definitely a few avenues of ingress but the final hurdle rose very very high into the sky in front of them
You choose Solomon Rex gestured broadly Waves of dense Aether by product curled like beckoning hands in front of them
Randidly narrowed his eyes He felt a sinking feeling in his gut as though he should have expected an answer like this Choose
There are seven entrances to Elhumes castle Solomons expression turned serious Wave by wave the dense mountain range of Nether punished them for their continued presence with its dense energy In the end while there is probably one answer that leads more efficiently toward the critical area where the Actus Suprem yanks on Grand Fates Ive been unable to penetrate the outer barrier I recommend just selecting one and starting a blitzkrieg
Just Select One Randidly clenched his jaws In front of his awareness a massive beachhead of significance rumbled Below that he witnessed the dense halos of all the energy produced by the mountain range Beneath that he scoured the threads of Grand Fate connection for lines leading to the source of the ritual But those System apparatus connections seemed to drill directly through the side of the mountain range caring not at all for the mundane concerns of body possessing individuals
He pivoted and looked at his assembled army Any ideas
After a few seconds of silence Neveah sighed and rubbed the back of your neck Well yes But its not my idea and you wont like it
Chapter 2366
Devick raised her chin and endured his sharp gaze Now more than ever she refused to take a step back
You dont know what you are suggesting Nether King Hungry Eye or Randidly Ghosthound as he was known in his main universe practically blazed with power as he glowered at her If he could reach into her mouth and rip out her suggestion before she offered it he probably would have
His jaw clenched and unclenched His emerald eyes seemed to seethe with a whirlwind of energies hovering just beneath the surface He could crush her with either his Nether or his images even after she had vastly improved relying on a knock off version of his Fatepiece It is far to say that you and this woman had the same starting point But the Actus Suprem has had a thousand years to stew and twist herself into a monster Just establishing a small connection would be disastrous
Even the fact she stood in front of him right now was only because he protected her from the oppressive force of Elhumes crystalized Aether above them
And maybe because she had to rely on him even to stand next to him here Devick refused to abandon the thought without a fight This was a way that she could be useful Would you rather just pick one of those ravines and march forward You asked for ideas This is an idea Dont be petty about it If you think its bad just say so But we both know it isnt
Randidly reached up and rubbed the bridge of his nose She could practically see the thoughts crashing into one another inside of his head a thousand a second a million impacts and redirections She wanted so badly to reach out and touch his shoulders to rub out the tension But she could only watch as he sighed and spoke Im not hah Look the Actus Suprems image is one of madness Even a brush can be destabilizing
Im not particularly stable to begin with Devick added A little more unpredictability couldnt hurt
