His eyes opened and he viewed Neshamah with the whole of his senses Nether glittered in the air around her definitely thinner than his own but also possessing an impressive fineness to its flow If Randidly sat in the middle of a maelstrom of Nether that constantly churned the Nether Core of Neshamah Rex was as light and airy as a circus tent held aloft by a playful breeze The construction possessed simplicity and grace that demonstrated an entirely different understanding of Nether
Out of curiosity Randidly manipulated a pinch of his Nether to flow toward NeshamahÆs graceful arrangement When the two interacted Randidly half heartedly demonstrated his newly acquired Synechdochence with an implosion of physical force That pinch flared and Neshamah grinned a swirling mote of her own Nether moving to meet the challenge
A ripple ran through the sapphire water that surrounded them all as the two forces met Nether crackled and spat unleash a gasp of bubbles Neshamah laughed out loud at the result the sound completely clear despite the water Impressive as always Mr Ghosthound Not only have you successfully created a Legendary Nether Core since we last met but based on the Weight you have likely accumulated is your Synechdochence already past 50% Honestly excellence seems to be the norm for you
Randidly gave her a slow nod of acknowledgment he filed away the fact that his 29% effort registered as almost 50% for Neshamah In addition it was difficult to say whether that attempt truly represented what he could accomplish at the moment
But even as he felt a rush of confidence RandidlyÆs expression hardened The emotional intensity from his memory seemed to have grown even stronger swirling in his subconscious a constant reminder of the danger If I were to compare this Nether trick to the solidity of the look the Don gave me
He shook himself to push that brief flared emotional power away and looked at the stranger the man with a tiger head And who are you
Pinnacle Seeker Moonlight Blade stroked the bracer on his left arm savoring the sensation of his claws running through the furr Even now he felt the intoxicating potential waiting within the equipment only needing some time to blossom A small wind rustled across the clearing winding its way through the stone pillars carved with the names of powerful foes that Moonlight Blade slew in the past
The two individuals in front of him continued to kneel waiting for the pleasure of his permission before they spoke Moonlight Blade appreciated the fact that they understood their position Many of his other subordinates let their accomplishments get to their head in situations like this
Yet these two continue to kneel Moonlight BladeÆs lip curled upward Then he forced it down Although his instincts screamed that these two were weak and he could easily rip out their throats and lap up their blood he suppressed it These two remained useful so long as they could provide him with similar equipment
Besides neither of them would be worthy of a stone pillar He might sate his aggression but he would find no honor in hunting them
Moonlight Blade lowered his head and rubbed his nose against the bracer mixing his scent with the equipmentÆs Already he could feel some small budding image beginning to form His heartbeat quickened at the possibility of growing stronger even while he avoided stepping into the image fulfillment stage
This was the key he had been waiting for And then
Moonlight Blade raised his head They had proven their patience So The rest of the equipment
The minor Pinnacle Seeker pressed his forehead against the ground with additional force To avoid the artisan taking advantage of us we have provided him with various random ingredients and asked him to generate similar results to make sure that bracer wasnÆt a fluke About 50% of the time he succeeds
Why bother Moonlight Blade sniffed Capture the artisan and his family I shall give you a thousand winged wolves capture his entire people If he refuses to work with us we will teach him the meaning of fear
Of course that was my first thought as well The Pinnacle Seeker replied quickly into the grass However there is something strange about his home planet Expira Based on System records its clearly in the Seventh Cohort However all attempts to locate the planet have failed Unfortunately due to the recent destruction of the record keeping
Amateurs This time Moonlight Blade didnÆt bother to hide his bloodlust Both shivered and cowered on the ground which did a little to alleviate Moonlight BladeÆs annoyance He suppressed the impulse to howl upward calling his endless wolf horde to devour their flesh and leave him the bones to gnaw to alleviate his boredom Despite the failure he knew this Pinnacle Seeker was competent if he could not find the planet the issue wasnÆt simple
However Moonlight Blade instead turned to the smaller figure And you Why are you here I do not know you
I am Ozark Great One the individual was so fearful that his words came out in pants partially muffled by the grassy ground The obvious show of submission at least was the proper respect Moonlight Blade deserved I am the one who discovered the bracer Immediately I thought of you Great One and
You are a poor storyteller Moonlight Blade said sharply He shifted on his throne But apparently you are a talented porter For your contributions you will be my servant when I attend that foolish DonÆs party Heh and if you do well there IÆll even let you watch as I win the rights to his daughter and devour her
Chapter 1850
Randidly looked around at the rainforest surrounding him Already moisture clung to his skin and made him uncomfortable He had chosen one of the completely abandoned portions in ExpiraÆs Southern hemisphere a vast monster wonderland that even Kharon and the Order Ducis was having trouble clearing enough to make a safe road North
With this much space I can go wild to my heartÆs content Randidly felt his blood pumping through his body He clenched his fists No regrets I need to make sure Nether is an area in which no one can rival me Right now IÆm probably a little less sophisticated than Neshamah even if my usage of Nether is more geared toward power But I know I can be better than that
I need to be better than that
His Nether Core swirled with gathering momentum as he floated in the sky But Randidly couldnÆt help but grin around him because he wasnÆt alone in this humid jungle Looks like youÆve been breeding out here without any supervision Are your lives so short and your minds so small that youÆve forgotten how dangerous humans can be
Shadows flitted up out of the trees and moved to surround him
Calamitous Bloodsuckers Lvl 85
As soon as the first ones saw him more came flooding out Nearly a hundred horse sized mosquitos had flown out of the dense tree cover with scores more streaming out every second Likely soon so many would appear that Kharon would see them and assume it was just a large storm cloud on the horizon
RandidlyÆs expression became increasingly brittle as the chorus of buzzes increased in volume Since I founded Kharon and it will be down this way in a few days I donÆt mind reeducating some dumb insects Especially when youÆve so generously offered to help me with my Nether Core training
A wave of Nether exploded out of Randidly as the first Bloodsuckers zipped toward him with their sharp tube like mouths Instantly Motif of the Hungry Deep guided the Nether into specific patterns As he spread out his awareness Synechdochence became a double edge sword Miniature cascading arrangements made and remade themselves separating into a thousand propagating pinches of Nether
Theoretically he could generate a certain percentage of his actual force an infinite number of times However in practice each time he split his attention required an extra bit of process power Perhaps it would have been more intelligent for him to instead work at perfecting his Synechdochence by practicing only a few pinches to perfection
