Chapter 1953: The Will of Lightning [Bonus]

Chapter 1953

[Bonus chapter thanks to Abda :)]

Sylas was a live target every soul on the battlefield could see. Not only that, but everything about him seemed to paint him out to be an easy target.

Yet, there was something about the Oath that gave them pause.

An undying momentum wafted from Sylas, and even when he closed his eyes, his palm almost loosely closing over the polearm of his scythe, it felt as though he had not a single opening to exploit.

The Sanctum was on their back foot. The geniuses they had that should have been able to fight the current invaders were almost entirely in the Mancer Scape, while those that remained had been injured or had their Wills cracked by their earlier confrontation with Sylas. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Not only had they been caught off guard, they were functioning at less than full capacity. And yet, too many of the attackers made the same exact decision... Someone else would do it.

Someone else would do it.

... Someone else would do it...

Sylas didn't seem to mind it a single bit. He stood there with the patience of a monk, a sea of flat land around him and a tall golden temple standing as his backdrop.

Every calm breath he took seemed to vanish into the winds as though he was binding himself closer and closer with the world.

"[Glassvolt Throne]..." he whispered.

Chi. Chi. Chi.

Right behind Sylas, floating just a little bit, an illusory throne appeared. It seemed formed entirely of Glass, giving off sparks of lightning from time to time.

However, this lightning was no longer just emerald. Strands of a beautiful amethyst weaved into it, and every time it cracked and whipped, it felt like fissures and fine cracks appeared in the world.

Sylas took another subtle breath and his Glassvolt Throne breathed along with him.

The World Serpent was a creature that could digest anything, incorporate any understanding into itself and project

it as its own power... What better aspect could there possibly be to add to [Glassvolt Throne]?

In the past, Sylas was limited by his Gene Class Skill's tier and the world around him. But now, he had evolved [Glassvolt Throne] once more.

It could break down Runes of a much higher level into their smaller parts and then digest them, giving Sylas a better chance at comprehending higher level worlds.

And the best part?

Sylas' eyes snapped open.

He was doing it with Demi-God Will now. There were simply very few worlds on the Mortal Plane that could block Sylas from understanding them not only thoroughly, but very quickly.

Reaching out a hand, Sylas could practically feel the skies above him rumble.

Since they were too cowardly to come...

He would do the work for them.

'Die.' Sylas thought calmly.

Chi.

The first bolt of lightning fell from the skies almost like a drizzle. The line was so thin one could have easily mistaken it for a trick of the light, or maybe the residue of a real lightning attack from a long distance away.
