Three warriors blazed through the wall.
Three skeletons came out.
By the time they hit the ground, they were nothing but ash.
Sylas raised an eyebrow. Those Runes… were far more powerful than they should have been.
'That wasn't all me.' Sylas thought, his eyes narrowed.
The truth of the matter was that the world itself was involved. Those Runes weren't perfect. At best, they were probably drawn to around Essence Mastery.
Of course, this was ridiculous for Runes Sylas had never personally drawn before. However, for Sylas, this was little more than a test round. He was a Rune Creator, he had long stopped caring about anything drawn beneath Spark Mastery.
But the way the world reacted just now, it was like he had drawn it to Spark Mastery. Not only that, but it fueled the Runes a lot more than it would have too.
Sylas couldn't help but smile.
It seemed that his sister hadn't picked this world because there was some great secret. No, maybe there was one. But he had a feeling that this was the real reason.
She knew that he could take advantage of this world.
The World Spirit hated the Race that had taken it over, and because of that, should one have the skill, it would do its utmost to help.
What was all the more amusing was just how much Elara understood her elder brother.
The World Spirit could only help this much because Sylas had used Death Runes. This was because at this point, that was the only energy it had left.
Elara would have had to know that Sylas would be in such an experimental mood the moment he came to the Demi-God Plane. She had truly done a great job in laying out a path for them.
If the World Spirit was going to help this much despite Sylas not being its Progenitor…
He might as well be its Progenitor in name.
But this might also be another interesting opportunity.
'The way you think is truly interesting, Elara.'
Sylas clenched his fists, cyclones of death energy rotating around his wrists and spontaneously forming Runes in a cascade of unbridled violence.
He could hear the emotion of the World Spirit in ways that he had almost never heard Earth's before. It was howling with maddening fury. Realizing that it was on its last legs, it wanted nothing more than to wipe out those that had done this to it.
And Sylas didn't mind obliging.

Elara exhaled a breath, taking a bite out of a large leg of meat larger than even her body. There was a slight look of annoyance in her eyes. Usually, food could make her feel better.
This time, though, it wasn't.
Well, if Elara was fair, this was partially her fault.
She miiiiight have agreed to marry someone and then vanished before the wedding after taking just a small little betrothal gift. Nothing big… just about enough to buy the entire Skai Heaven Mortal Plane 10x over.
As far as she was concerned, that wasn't nearly enough to buy her love and loyalty. Did they know how much the Grimblade family bloodline was worth? Did this womb look like it was available for just anybody?
Well, she also might have made them make a mortal enemy of a pretty powerful clan just for her hand too… but that was beside the point.
What happened to chivalry and dying on a sword for your wife?
Elara scoffed. "And you wanted me to marry you?"
