Randidly looked up at the sky and heaved a breath out of his chest The ground around him was the damp black unearthed loam that represented a hundred years’ worth of fallen leaves and small animals decomposing on the forest floor With the grey clouds above the flickering points of Nether and the black dirt below he lived in a world of monochrome
Finally returned to consciousness his tail began to flick purposefully gathering natural energy and recreating his storm
That black and pockmarked desolation spread around him for about a kilometer in every direction Small sparks of Nether still intermittently flickered in the air around him but they silently chomped out clumps of dirt without fanfare Other than that the surrounding area had been abandoned
About ten minutes after Randidly had unleashed himself even the mosquitos had learned their lesson and fled the surrounding area As he had said when he started he taught them to fear humanity He now had an entire stretch just to himself
Steam hissed out his nose The heat had spread from his head where a remnant inferno still bogged down his thoughts and spread slowly down his spine A needle of lava dripped slowly down inflaming his nerves and leaving him feeling extremely overexposed As Randidly had expected overtaxing his brain and nervous system led to an increased acuity of sensation The evolution of his Stat was just a happy accident The cascading interaction of patterns because easier for Randidly to follow
His Willpower flexed and spun Gushing rivers of Nether wormed their way through the storm around him darkening the winds and thickening the air With the topsoil annihilated the heavy stone bedrock was steadily unearthed below And before RandidlyÆs rapidly growing power that dense stone was scoured away
Randidly flared his Nether again and again in powerful flashes His eyes grew bloodshot as he kept tracking the patterns as they mixed and combined As soon as the Nether ripples were created he gobbled them up and strengthened his influence in the air He did his best to smooth everything down back to normal
However the more he looked the more he realized how difficult it was to remove the minute fluctuations in power Pain made his mind fuzzy but his stubbornness meant that he didnÆt waver He exploded his pinches of Nether examined the surroundings tightened his control then tried again The oppression of the storm climbed
Congratulations Your Skill Nether Sensation has grown to Level 551
Congratulations Your Skill Cutting Tide of Amenonuhoko has grown to Level 605
His senses grew more acute and he found the small mistakes in adjustments he had made Randidly corrected them even as his brain began to vibrate itself apart He could feel his body trembling in response Unnatural Capacity could transform his ability to recognize and respond to information but he just approached Nether with even more greed Randidly groped around with his awareness attempting to perfect the flared power of Nether
Just a little more Randidly sucked away all the reverberations pulling the Nether energy into the storm Lightning cracked up and down around his body due to the strange electromagnetic field conjured by the churning storm The winds were dark and shadowy an ominous cloud over this destroyed land
Congratulations Your Skill Left Hand of the Nether Oracle has grown to Level 530
A pinch of Nether ballooned outward in the air in front of Randidly devouring the nearby atmosphere with fangs of Nether Weight Randidly grinned
Achievement recognized Synechdochence increased to 65%
This feel as long as I push it RandidlyÆs eyes burned He created two hundred more flared bursts of Nether that were almost as effective as the first He gathered the remnant bits of Nether into the storm Plus I have another way to cheat Synechdochence now that I know these mechanisms
Congratulations Your Skill Motif of the Hungry Deep has grown to Level 415
Randidly looked up at the storm swirling around him He licked his lips his tongue tingling with heat up and down the fleshy appendage as all the nerve endings were remade You cannot add your NetherÆs force together through Synechdochence but I can manifest my Nether in a hundred different spots at once Those activations create ripples And from there
Randidly sucked in a breath pulling in all the kinetic energy of the storm into his limbs The winds and lightning vanished leaving only the unnatural darkness of Nether His muscles were already warmed based on the shift in RandidlyÆs nerves but suddenly they too sizzled with heat He felt the strain of containing this much energy but RandidlyÆs abilities to manipulate force had been honed to a razorÆs edge on the Mountain
Above him thick coiling tentacles of Nether spun around a dense core of significance that clustered around his body Heatwaves demolished what little visibility remained in that air He clenched his fists
The kinetic force sang in RandidlyÆs body He lifted his head and yelled with all his might
An enormous beam of raw power shot upward ripping through the Nether and obliterating the low hanging cloud cover Air along the edge of the blast was so superheated that it became plasma burning and sizzling away the atmosphere and spreading outward growing in size until the sky above Randidly seemed to become a sea of flames
His eyes glittered A little rough in the execution but this is exactly what I need ItÆs nowhere near as consistent as being able to manifest a super powerful image but for a brief moment hopefully I can flare brightly enough to make a difference
Chapter 1852
Tatiana raised a cup of tea to her lips and sipped the liquid Beside her Naffur rubbed his chin as he stared at the darkness staining the horizon Even from here both could feel the hairs on their arms standing on end as they looked at the display So letÆs adjust our heading
Yes I suppose we will have to Tatiana sighed because they were already behind schedule Below them the tireless legs of Kharon carried the Wandering City forward across the dense rain forest This area bristled with high Level monsters so several powerful Order Ducis agents were on high alert constantly reading to prevent any from flying up around and attacking the meandering trail of skyislands that followed the city
And the journey South had been rather difficult for the first part of their journey that was why all of TatianaÆs carefully arranged timetables were currently thrown in disarray Yet not everyone shared he anxiousness Even as fire breathing toucans and gem scaled boas managed to infiltrate the city the students of Kharon Academy were extremely carefree They used Scrawl covered bits of wood to whip through the air whooping and laughing right above some of the brutal defensive battles that were being fought both by the Order Ducis and the cityÆs other brass defenders
A group even went exploring the surrounding jungle and returned several hours late wandering back to the city gearing up for search and rescue wondering what everyone was doing
Yet several days ago the situation had changed Dark clouds arrived on the horizon and her instincts were quite sure that Randidly was responsible Immediately afterward a flood of monsters rushed for them not to attack Kharon but to get as far as possible from that growing maelstrom of oblivion Then after several hours of watching the monsters rush away the exodus had stopped
Now the jungle was ominously silent More appropriate for exploration but even the students seemed unnerved by those massive black clouds churning in the distance
Circle further West then Naffur grunted
Tatiana opened her mouth to respond in the affirmative but a brilliant lime green beam of energy ripped up from the storm clouds in the distance The beam released so much light that it carved a place on TatianaÆs retinas for several blink filled seconds The clouds were obliterated and the beam expanded to become a sea of golden green flames that raced across the sky
quite a bit further West I think Tatiana shook her head even while she was inwardly quite impressed by how much power Randidly wielded
