Chapter 232 Return
Sylas took a breath and exhaled. Despite the power of the punch, he realized several issues immediately. For one, his arm was throbbing as though he had just put it through a rigorous workout. He was certain that if he punched out with this same arm again, there would certainly be problems. The second issue was that far more of his Aether was used up than what the technique denoted. It said that it should have cost just one Aether Unit, and yet he had used up as much as five just now, and it even felt like the technique wanted to take more, but he was just unable to sustain it.
However, Sylas had a feeling that even if he could give the technique more, he certainly shouldn't do it. That's because his body definitely couldn't withstand it. It didn't seem to be a matter of Constitution as the damage came from his Aether channels themselves. His Constitution alone couldn't seem to protect it. Checkk new novel chapters at novelbin(.)com
While increasing his Constitution would save the aching in his arm a bit, if he ignored everything else and continuously used this technique, he would likely rip his Aether channels apart, and then he wouldn't even be able to use Skills anymore.
Sylas shook his head. It seemed that there was a price to pay for having such a good Visualized Conception. In all likelihood, if this <Psychedelic Punch> Skill had been FFF- instead of FF-, then maybe it could withstand the brunt of his Visualized Conception. But ultimately, the Skill was too poor in quality to withstand the full extent of his Beast Totem.
'I'll have to save it as a trump card for now, and maybe find a new Visualized Conception that can be used with it when I'm not bringing out so much power.'
The roars filled the night air once more and a commotion broke out, but by this point, and before the pig demons could reload, Sylas had already jumped to the top of the walls, him and his five mirror images attacking all at once. The pig demons were flustered, but what several of them didn't realize was that the mirror images couldn't harm them at all.
Sylas focused on his own opponent for a moment. He didn't use his kunai because while his mirror images reflected his actions, their actual position had to be controlled by him. Right now, controlling five of them was already his limit, but he wasn't worried. He slipped the attack of a Level 8, blocked a descending blade with an elbow to its elbow, and then unleashed a second furious elbow strike right through its face.
The moment Sylas felt the satisfying crunch, he released his control over his mirror images and they began to act oddly. They were still mirroring his actions, but because he wasn't controlling their positions, their movements looked ridiculous as though they were throwing themselves to their deaths.
By the time the pig demons understood that they were fighting mirages, Sylas' kunai already flashed into existence, killing them. In one fell swoop, Sylas killed three pig demons and then disappeared into the night once more, not forgetting to wipe out all the torches in the region by throwing them high and into the village.
This time, he would truly torch everything.
The pig demons rushed to the location on the wall, but Sylas had already long disappeared. Just when they were feeling wary, thinking that they had to stay on their guard, Sylas attacked much sooner than any of them expected.
