What do you want? Why are you saying all of this?" Riqo finally squeezed out the words.
He didn't want to admit it, but he didn't have any cards in this situation. The man he was facing was on another level.
The more he stared at Sylas, the more he felt like he was coming to a single conclusion...
He was untouchable in the Mortal Realm.
It was an answer that didn't make any sense to him at all. Logically, Sylas should still be killable. Without the support of those Ancestral Wills and that formation, a B-tier should be able to kill him.
But what Riqo had realized was that even that thought alone, the fact he was hedging so much, adding so many caveats... That was exactly what made Sylas such an anomaly.
A Legend followed after him, waiting on hand and foot as though she had nothing better to do with her time.
This man... he was in the same category as Rhykan. Trying to measure him by a normal set of logic would only lose them their lives and cause them to suffer. There was nothing else here for them other than death.
But... if Sylas really was like Rhykan, then the only reason he could ever have to speak this much was because there was a point to it.
"Let's battle." Sylas declared in reply.
Riqo stiffened.
Had he been wrong? Did he overthink things?
"The two of you. At once."
A retainer took a step forward and Sylas' scythe flickered. A line of blood slipped through reality and the retainer shuddered, coughing once. His nose fell into two pieces, blooming like a flower along with his lips.
But the cut wasn't deep enough to truly bisect him.
Sylas didn't even look at the man, his focus still on both Riqo and Ziel. Then, he tapped a foot.
The world warped and changed.
The pressure of Sylas' Rune Suppression formation vanished and the two Thryskai heirs felt as though they could finally breathe.
Had Sylas just... removed his greatest advantage?
The two of them looked toward one another, not understanding what was happening until they felt a powerful Will descend that ripped them right back into reality.
