Chapter 921 Sylvie
Upon hearing Sylvie’s words, Gerald’s pupils contracted, and his hand instinctively reached for his back.
He was puzzled as to how Sylvie had noticed anything since he believed that he and Carolyn had not displayed any errors.
It dawned on Gerald that Sylvie had previously shown him goodwill, and he wondered if she had noticed their
behavior earlier.
As he continued to reflect, Gerald couldn’t help but wonder if Sylvie had already noticed their secret when they first met at the hall of the Archaic Tribe. He began to suspect that the Archaic Tribe may already be aware of his and Carolyn’s true identities.
The thought made Gerald’s head throb.
Sylvie seemed unaware of Gerald’s movements. Her gaze remained deep, and she continued, “So… you and I are similar in many ways. I understand your sense of isolation, which is why I took the initiative to show you. my kindness.”
“What do you mean?” Gerald’s tone had turned dangerous.
Sylvie gazed at Gerald and spoke plainly. “My meaning is literal. I understand what you’re thinking. You want to silence me because you’re afraid I’ll reveal the truth. But I assure you that I won’t tell anyone. Or else I wouldn’t have asked you to come out and talk to you about this.”
Sylvie continued, “I’m just very lonely. I don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone, not even my parents, about myself. But with you, I feel like we’re kindred spirits, and I can talk to you.” As she smiled, there was a sudden surge of Vital Energy in her body, which dissipated just as quickly.
Despite vanishing in a flash, Gerald sensed it. He stared at her with shock and hesitantly asked, “A-Are you
Flame Decayer?”
Gerald’s shock was not unfounded as he had observed Sylvie’s cultivation level, which was the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay. Apart from that, she had never shown any sign of being a Flame Decayer, even when being confronted by a group of White Wolves.
However, after what had just happened, Gerald was sure that she had just shown him the Vital Energy of the
level of Flame Decay.
Moreover, her Vital Energy was condensed. It suggested that she was likely as powerful as Carolyn, if not slightly stronger, based solely on her level of Flame Decay. She was not far from reaching the supreme level
of Flame Decay.
The frown on Gerald’s forehead deepened as he realized that he couldn’t see through the girl before him.
“After I reached the level of Flame Decay, I never told anyone about it. I’ve seen one get killed after mentioning their attributes when they are not powerful enough to protect themselves.” Sylvie found a dead tree and sat
down.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Gerald with a glint in her eyes. She said, “Then, I saw you and that
girl. Seeing people similar to me, I felt a sense of closeness.”
“What is your attribute-related ability?” asked Gerald.
“My attribute-related ability is called Divine Eye,” Sylvie said calmly.
Gerald was at a loss when he heard that. Although he was Flame Decayer, he did not know much about the world of Flame Decayer.
Sylvie went on to explain, “Simply put, I can see the true nature of this world. For instance, I can immediately tell you and that girl are Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone owners. As for the doctor, even though she concealed her aura, I could sense that she is a Flame Decayer with formidable vitality.”
Sylvie continued, “My ability, like your Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone, is something many covet. That’s why, after I found out about it, I’ve been suppressing my cultivation level to the level of peak half-step Flame Decay, making people think that I can’t break through and that my talent is coming to an end.”
Sylvie sighed and said, “In fact, I’m scared to tell others, including my parents.”
“In spite of being a direct descendant of the Archaic Tribe, why would you be afraid of disclosing it?” Gerald
asked, surprised.
