Chapter 1158: Pride _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

The voice was so loud it felt like the only thing Sylas could sense. His sense of touch, smell, even sight was blurred by the blaring whining in his ears.

It really did feel like a little girl was crying in the middle of a grocery store and no one could do what they needed to do until she was satiated or satisfied in some way.

BANG!

Sylas landed on the ground, skidding across it and leaving a long trench in his wake. But he couldn’t really feel that either. It was like all his senses were muted.

But then he realized that it wasn’t just because of this voice. It was something else.

The formation of the True Pride Seed.

Whether it was the Lust or Gluttony Seed, both of them felt to Sylas like vague, amorphous concepts in his mind. Even when he focused, he couldn’t quite find their exact locations in his body; he could just feel them out to a minor extent.

But this one—it might as well have been a blaring siren and flashing lights on the highway in the middle of the night. It made itself known, forming at the center of Sylas’ mind and weaving out with its tendrils.

As though it was no longer just a Seed, but the roots and growing ecosystem that came with it, it dug into the folds of Sylas’ brain and into his body in ways he had simply never sensed before.

Sylas was taken aback, not because this was so fresh and unique, but because he could vaguely sense that this was probably why it was so difficult to point out the other Seeds as well.

Even after they took shape, they melded into all the layers of his body, burying themselves deep and whole until they were so ubiquitous with him that he couldn’t sense them clearly at all.

But the Pride Seed was different. Not only was it the Sin Seed that aligned with him the very most, but it was also the one that he had formed through the most unique method.

He didn’t know what the difference between a True Seed and a normal one was… but he could feel the difference.

It took him quite a long time before the Gluttony Seed started manifesting some useful abilities. In fact, even when the Gluttony Seed became quite useful to him, it took a great deal of effort just to use it for more than a few minutes.

The fatigue that came with relying on it was so heavy that Sylas had gotten into the habit of ignoring it.

But this Pride Seed… it was completely different. Not only could he feel it and sense it so completely and wholly, but it almost felt as though using it was akin to breathing for him—so easy and natural that—
