Chapter 2458
“Oh? You are quite sturdy, aren’t you?” The blindfolded woman tilted her head to the side as she considered the devastating fallout of her strike.
Randidly Ghosthound felt like the part of his torso not immediately annihilated had been repeatedly run over by a planet-sized chariot, reversing and jerking forward across his ribs. Calling his current mangled condition ‘abandoned roadkill’ would elicit judgmental sniffs from half-smashed squirrels everywhere.
Blood filled Randidly’s mouth. He trembled, willing his abused body not to collapse. The sheer force of the woman’s attack had caught him by surprise. One part of him shivered in anticipation; there were even taller mountains for him to climb in the future.
A more practical part sent pangs of agony through his body, reminding him to remain focused. His images had been pressed out of existence and struggled to reform. Even as his cells began to regenerate, his own significance trembled and sloshed in his body, multiple inefficiencies created when she had torn through the patterns maintaining the connection between physique and images.
But each remaking of his interior vein patterns streamlined them slightly. His Nether evolved, to be more resilient for the next time.
Yet his attention fixated on a notification that had popped up in front of him. The last piece he needed.
Congratulations! For surviving the strike of a powerful Entity from outside the Nexus, Muse’s Reverie +1! Muses Reverie: 8/8
“Guess it’s my turn to seize the initiative.” Randidly grunted out the response as his organs reformed. He took a breath as he forced back the lingering pressure of this blindfolded woman’s power. His images blazed in his body as they manifested again, screaming for vengeance. From the depths of his Nether Core he plucked out Acri, with the new portion that had been slowly assimilated into the spear over the last twenty minutes.
Time to work a little bit of magic. Look, I’ve got nothing up my sleeves…
