Chapter 728: Tired [Top 5 in Golden Tickets Bonus]

'Dammit.'

Sylas looked down at the woman in his arms and made a decision.

He held Vesta up, brazenly using her as a shield.

The Professor's eyes could only open wide. She tried to scream, but with her jaw fused shut under the effects of the poison, she couldn't even do that much. All that came out was a strained shriek locked away in her throat.

BANG!

The arrow pierced into her body, but only by a small measure.

Sylas was so confident in it that he didn't even spare her a glance, his palm having stretched out toward the ball of flames flying toward him.

A strong pulse of telekinesis came from him, diverting it just enough that it felt beneath his feet.

'Not good.'

Sylas felt the Scorned Wraps stir and he hurriedly threw Vesta into the air before she was scorched to ash.

It seemed that they wouldn't even let him use a defensive item. If not for his sharp control of his intentions, Vesta would have already crumbled to ash.

But who said that he had to carry her around.

His telekinesis caught Vesta and he swung her down toward the second arrow. This time, because he added quite some force behind Vesta, he shattered it to pieces.

BOOM!

Molten rock fell from the skies as Sylas was surrounded by enemies.

One after another government officials shot out from the portal, half chasing after him, and another half trying to escape from a sure death.

The random pulses of the Portal separated them through the air, while the eagle riders had no shot at making it to the Portal in time, so they were likely stranded in the Ruby Territory for the time being.

Sylas' gaze flashed and he reached out with his intention toward three figures within his telekinetic range.

With a violent tug, he sent them crashing into the rain of molten rock. None of them even had a chance to scream before they were torn to pieces. Their weapons, however, were another matter entirely.

With part of his mind using Vesta as a shield, and the other portions holding up rifles, he faced off against the world with a rain of fire as his backdrop.

...

In the far-off distance, Vaekra felt danger lock onto her. Her eyes widened and Runes immediately lit up across her body as she dove to the side.

PUCH. PUCH. PUCH.

Three bullets appeared, one ripping through her leg and shattering the Runes there.

As good as the special ops were at aiming, Sylas was even better.

...

'Too far.' Sylas thought to himself.

<Maddened Enlightenment> activated, causing a large amount of Aether to surge toward himself. He layered Hibernation Halo on top of it as he thought about his next move.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much of a choice.

No matter what, Vaekra had to die.

Now.

He was certain that she was the one who had his Overlord Quest and he couldn't allow that to keep looming over his head.

BANG!

A bullet shot through the air and ripped a hole through the forehead of a special op setting up a shot.

Sylas pierced through the air.

He hadn't been able to truly bask in the feeling before, but flying through the air under his own power...

It was truly freeing.

Arrows pierced through the air toward him, their bodies ripping through the skies with far more Aether than ever before.

Danger signs blared in Sylas' mind, but he knew that it wasn't coming from the arrows.

'Distraction.'

Sylas came to an abrupt stop, his eyes releasing a pulse of light. Soon, a net of Runes appeared right before his eyes.

'Trap.'

BANG! _{freewebnøvel.com}

Sylas cast <Ice Banned Shield> with a thought, his speed so fast that it was near

instantaneous.

A bullet ripped through it, but by the time it had, it had slowed enough for Sylas' tail to slap out, knocking it out of the air.
