Sylas really had tried to use his time efficiently and find a moment to return to the Scorpion Warlord Inheritance, but there was simply too much going on all the time.
Now, there was no other choice.
If his Scorpion Warlord Armor worked properly in this world, he would instantly gain +6 in Physical the instant he used it for Essence Mastery.
Honestly speaking, that should be enough to steamroll things. The only reason he hadn’t was because he wanted to understand more about what he was facing, and also because he didn’t want to use his Will too freely since it was his best trump card.
He had only just recovered from terrible injuries. If he ended up in that state again, there wouldn’t be a chance to be healed.
Now, however, he knew he couldn’t waste any time at all. The trouble was that finding these enemies would take too long. It only took a second for Lorien to leapfrog him by a factor of three, and Ulrik might have already surpassed him in the time it took him to enter this place.
If he wasted all his effort finding them, he would end up facing off against enemies he couldn’t even begin to battle.
There was only one way forward.
His original plan was to gather up enough Genes to unlock Progenitor Professional. This way, he could activate his Professions without paying millions of Silver Genes.
Of course, it would be unlikely to allow him to use them at their full power, but he didn’t need to. Just being able to summon Gogo would be a huge deal. If he could fuse with him, even better.
Matching his contracts with his Scorpion Warlord Armor would be a game-changer. Even if he couldn’t fuse and use the armor at the same time, using Gogo and the others as a spearhead would make things far more efficient.
It was just that he needed 50,000 Silver Genes to unlock Progenitor Professional. Which, quite frankly, was actually far less than he expected, but still a substantial tally nonetheless.
While this plan would work, it was no longer efficient enough for Sylas’ taste. So he chose to gamble… gamble on the one thing that hadn’t been able to be sealed or locked away.
His Rune Mastery.
And now, he was in a world without the same restrictions as Earth. Now, he would finally be able to feel the truest extent of prowess a Spark Mastery had to offer.
"You returned sooner this time than I expected," Gralith said lightly.
"I need to learn the second and third layers of the Warlord Armor," Sylas said, getting right to the point.
Gralith raised an eyebrow and then looked off into the distance before looking back at Sylas.
"Interesting, you’ve been suppressed quite considerably. This is rare, and there are only a few events that could trigger something like this. World War, is it?"
Sylas nodded.
"Fascinating. I didn’t expect that you would turn out to be a Progenitor. But in the end, this sort of thing is far less shocking than reaching Spark Mastery."
Sylas didn’t reply this time.
Before, Gralith had thought that his Progenitor Flame Abilities were Will Abilities. But now… he seemed to know the truth.
