Sylas unceremoniously took the flag on Lady Mov's person and the one they were fighting over, bringing his total up to four. This meant that he just needed one more before he succeeded.
Also, because he had four, the odds that anyone would be able to catch up to him were slim to none. This last one, though, he would have to take from a group as there were no longer any others that were being fought over.
Obviously… Sylas chose to take the easy route.
Why would he fight a battle of life and death if he didn't have to?
His goal here wasn't even the bazaar, as useful as it would be to him. His main goal was drawing out a certain individual. The question was… whether they would appear or not.
'Team Slug it is.'
Sylas pivoted and shot off in that direction.

Jala looked at the screen, his expression placid. He didn't feel surprised at all when Sylas shot up to first in less than half a day. It felt like it was only natural.
This was what he always did.
Sylas might have killed someone very near and important to him, but while that made Jala hate him to the very core, that didn't change his assessment of that man. At that point, that wouldn't be being strong, it would be being foolish.
There was no way that Sylas would suddenly become an incompetent man just because Jala was angry with him. If anything, Jala had to overestimate him now as much as possible.
'I can feel a strong Luck stirring the pot in this world. But strong Lucks, especially in the hands of those that don't fully understand them or how they work, can be manipulated. If you have more information than them, it can even be predicted. He will definitely appear here, and when the fifth flag is claimed, there'll be a chance.'
The words of the figure echoed in Jala's ears as he stood in silence, his eyes slowly shifting to the item in his hand.

[Heaven's Wrath]

That was all he could see even with his Treasures. The figure didn't tell him what it was or what it did, but Jala's eyes hadn't been able to come off of the Heaven part.
He knew what it meant, what it represented.
There were a few words that were never used for items of the current system, words that referred to a world long since passed.
Words like Cultivation… Dao… Heaven.
They were almost taboo to the current system. This Treasure, as a result, could have only come from the Legendary System. But that would only make it all the more difficult to use…
And also make it a ticking time bomb.
Treasures like this had to be used very carefully, especially when the system was literally out hunting for everyone and everything that pissed it off nowadays.
Did Sylas have close relations with a Demon? Was that the reason for his great strength? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
