Sylas coughed up a mouthful of blood. At that very moment, in a furious tirade, the Crimson Eye appeared. It looked over Sylas, tall and strong.
The surrounding region was immediately blocked as the beam passed right through them all, eviscerating Santz and Eloise down to their very last. Not even ashes were left of them.
But Sylas, on the other hand, was locked under the oppressive might of the impotent system. In fact… ...
Gentrixaul retreated from light years away, his eyes bulging with fury as he realized his target was still alive. He roared, surging forward.
He was too far away to fight against the system at this distance. If he could just get closer… ...
Sylas buckled beneath the pressure, but he was ready. He forcefully tore his Will in half with a roar, shattering his demonic form.
So many times before, he had let enemies go because they managed to slip away from the ire of the system. Now… It was his turn.
Chi.
Space was torn apart as Gentrixaul appeared. He crossed the universe so fast it felt like he had always been there. But even so… He was still a step too late.
Sylas ripped himself free and he, his ship, and everyone else within it was torn out of the God Plane.
...
Sylas collapsed to a knee, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His mind was hazy, crimson liquids seeping out between his teeth. His body felt like it had been torn inside out, inverted, and then worn as someone else's skin.
The feeling was entirely too uncomfortable. However…
The S-tiers were dead.
He took deep, heaving breaths.
His parents rushed over, his father propping him up as his mother checked on his condition. They were having a hard time hiding the worry in their eyes, and it left Cheri baffled.
Maybe if she had had a family in her life she would have immediately understood the sort of relationship Sylas had with these two. But even now, she was a bit lost. She could only watch as the people who hadn't reacted very much as S-tiers chased after them, peered like they were going to lose their minds because Sylas was a little hurt.
As far as she could tell, this was certainly just "a little" hurt. If these were all the injuries you got after escaping a duo of S-tiers, you should be counting your lucky stars. She didn't know any other way to look at things.
Cheri grunted, slowly picking herself up and off the ground.
Had they really survived.
She collapsed backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood herself. She looked up at the screen just to find nothing around them for countless light years.
"He…"
Cheri was in too much of a daze. But her eyes were slowly widening as she stopped being so distracted by Isolde and Cedric and finally began to internalize what happened.
They had… escaped from two S-tiers. Sylas had wiped out dozens of A-tiers, only to come back and deal with their S-tiers soon afterward.
This was just…
