"It’s him. He is here!"

"Send out the—."

"What vehicle did you use to get here?" Sylas asked calmly. "Vessels or teleportation?"

At first, the few of them down below found the question ridiculous. Why would they even bother to answer this?

Until one of them was suddenly compelled to. There was only the slightest flash in Sylas’ gaze as he borrowed an ability from Nosphaleen. The target’s Will was crushed before they could even understand what was happening.

"Vessels…" Malik answered in a trance.

"How fast?"

"… Using transport channels, we can travel to any point in Skai Galaxy within three days."

"Send me a map of the transport channels."

Sylas no longer needed to ask about these sorts of details. He knew that transport channels were akin to wormholes connecting two points like a highway.

"Yes, right—."

Malik shook awake, his eyes widening as his third eye opened up on his forehead.

"You…"

Sylas’ figure flashed, Runes dancing around him. One magic circle after another formed as a streak of emerald lightning tore a path forward. Every time it passed through one, it somehow became even faster.

Everything happened so fast that Malik, who had just snapped awake, couldn’t even react before a fist landed on his chest.

The crackling of bone echoed, the man’s eyes bulging before he was sent flying back with such shocking speed that the air around him exploded into concentric circles.

Sylas looked down at his fist and shook his head. That one blow should have killed him immediately, but he was wearing armor. Now his fist was broken.

He hardly reacted to it, clenching his fist and snapping the bones back into place. His healing factor kicked in, and just as attacks came in from all sides, he had already recovered completely. It wasn’t even necessary to cast any Healing Runes.

He took a step forward, but found himself trapped in some sort of odd quagmire. Three of the Thryskai had activated the same Skill all at once while the remaining two pincered him from the left and right, slashing down toward his head with their polearm weapons.

[Unbridled Counter].

Sylas was patient, waiting until just before the attacks hit him to activate his Skill, following up with [Glassvolt Shift] once again.
