Chapter 510: Too Late



There were likely a rare few people on Earth that had the flexibility of thought that Sylas did. The moment he realized the kind of situation he was in, he changed his perspective.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn't worry about finding Lucius for revenge, nor did he have the mind to care about what people were watching from the shadows. Instead, his thoughts were consumed by one drive.

Survive.

The instant he got the notification about what was happening to him, he activated Beacon. And it was actually because Beacon was activated that <Psychedelic Punch> could only be used with his slow Ice-Poison Rune.

Beacon needed to use his Beast Totem. So while it was active, his Beast Totem couldn't be used for anything else.

But the miraculous thing about Beacon was that the only existences that could sense it were Serpentes. As such, whether it was the spider queen or the Sylphs watching from the sidelines, they didn't realize what he was doing until it was too late.

There were many tradeoffs to be made in life, and the Summoning seemed to only make that more obvious. While it was much harder to gather up Ice-Poison and cast Ice-Poison Skills in the middle of this desert...

The number of Serpentes within a kilometer radius wasn't a small number at all.

The hissing had only just begun, but it rose to a fever pitch in the next instant.

The Woodland Spider Queen unleashed a shriek as it was infuriated by the invasion into its territory. However, between their fear of the Woodland Spider Queen and their reverence for Sylas...

There was no competition at all.

The Serpentes flooded in. Starting from just a few dozen, they quickly doubled and then doubled again.

Sylas continued to dodge out of the way of the attacks of the elite spiders. As he did, he observed the situation and couldn't help but frown.

Sylas' senses had never left it, and he noticed the blue vein pattern running through its eye, slowly crawling its way up.

He looked down at his arms, and he seemed to be in the same situation as the spider queen. However... that was only because he hadn't had the time to deal with it.

Taking advantage of the appearance of the Serpentes, he stood still, his gaze blazing. All of a sudden, Runes were forcefully expelled from the open wounds in his arms. Though to a layman, it would look as though it was a large amount of violet-green tainted blood. Sylas' body immediately felt lighter as his blood ran down his arms. From any perspective, he looked like a man on his last legs. However, only he knew just how close to victory he was.

He flickered and vanished; his body activated <Cyrobane Elevation>, and he could feel it churning deeper than ever before. His grasp of Blood Essence allowed him a far sharper image of what it truly meant to raise his Stat Limit.

With his hoard allowing him to ignore the elite spiders, he only had one thought in mind: kill the spider queen as quickly as possible.

A road of ice appeared as he leapt up. His feet glided along its smooth surface, and a single one of his strides became like four. Semi-Fusion activated at the same time, and <Glide> was

triggered again.

While he might not be able to use <Surfing Frost> and <Chilled Rise> at the same time, with Semi-Fusion, he could use <Surfing Frost> and <Glide> simultaneously, with the latter having its load taken by the hibernating Nosphaleen.

His Speed had been suppressed to just 260, but at the moment, he was nearing almost five

times that.

'Now's the perfect time.'

His telekinesis moved, and the hairs by the spider queen's damaged eye shifted.

The spider queen reacted fiercely, snapping her head in a certain direction only to realize nothing was there.

By the time she turned back, it was too late.
