Chapter 239 Passion

Chapter 239 Passion

The worst part was that even with her advanced scouting ability, she could only see his name and nothing else. But knowing that it was a Grimblade was all she needed. It seemed that their Ravenclaw family wasn't the only one in this region. ... Sylas was surprised to find that he wasn't attacked again. Had his attack worked out better than he thought? Unfortunately, the archer was outside the range of his visualization so he hadn't been sure. But even if she had been, he wouldn't have stuck around. He felt like that Archer was the least of his worries. If things really went south, and Azrael was from a System City like he speculated, then he might be sieged much worse if he lagged behind any longer. As far as Sylas knew, System Cities should have far more restrictions. But since they had managed to send someone out to conquer a city, that meant that their restrictions weren't nearly as great as he thought they were, or at the very least, they could ignore them for a price. He remembered that Azrael's Genes were inaccessible to him. Maybe that was related to the price that had been paid... Yet, he was so powerful nonetheless, and that couldn't help but leave Sylas feeling solemn. Dozens of minutes later, Sylas saw Lucius' city in the distance and he was suddenly hit by a wave of fatigue. He felt that his body was about to collapse. It was only now he realized just how much his Will was holding him up. He also realized something very important as well... He wasn't eating nearly enough. By now, the last time he had eaten was already almost 24 hours ago. Although he had eaten a lot, if he wanted to support his body, he couldn't do this. "Halt!"

A sound came from an outpost, but Sylas wasn't surprised. If Lucius just let him stroll in with a random unknown person, then he would be too incompetent. Soon, though, Sylas had checked in and Lucius was informed about the existence of Archibald. As for Sylas, he chose to leave. He wanted to shower and to also eat, then rest. He would set out again tomorrow, going for the home of the Arctic King Cobra. Even if he had to break his body into pieces every day, that would be what he had to do. He felt like there was a guillotine hanging over his head, and he couldn't stand to waste even a single time. But for the first time in his life... he felt true excitement. Once he shed fear and started to take control of his life again, he found something hidden deeper within... Passion. This was what he had been looking for his entire life. No amount of hours in the lab, academic research, or flowery accolades could match up to this. So even with his body beaten and broken... He suddenly wanted to go out and do it all over again. It was as he was furiously eating that something he expected came. Lucius entered his dining hall with a shining light in his eyes.
