Chapter 572: Unexpected



The peacock descended from above with a strong flap of its wings. Sylas hardly gave these City Lords a look before a crown flickered above his head.

Instantly, they all felt the horror of having their stats suppressed by 50%. No matter how hard they circulated their Aether or their Wills, it didn't change things in the slightest.

'Unexpected...'

Sylas looked at the bear demons who seemed prepared to battle already, but they were all looking toward Moose for his orders. As for Moose himself, he was in a bit of a shocked state as well. None of them had ever expected that Sylas would appear here.

None of them knew about the City Stele's ability. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone as far as to kill their own messengers in the first place.

But that was still only part of it.

Even if they had known about the City Stele's hidden aces, they would have still come here. The reason being, a Territory was much too large. There were easily tens of thousands of people who called it home and several times that number in beasts.

Even if you had an aerial view of it all, how could you account for it all?

It was like staring at a satellite map. Unless you zoomed in, you wouldn't be able to find anything of interest. And if you were looking close enough to make out details, it would take you an impossibly long time to scan the entire region.

The only reason why Sylas knew exactly where their cities were was because picking out a large structure on the map was far easier than picking out individual people. If the latter was so easy, he would have already found Ragnar.

But how could these people know that he had been eyeing the Aether Stone Mine this entire time? Not just because of the mine itself, but also because of the city hidden underneath it. There would have never been anything that happened here without him being aware of it all. However, this sight alone made Sylas deduce many things in an instant.

His gaze flashed as he landed on them one by one.

"So. Which one of you is going to tell me where Ragnar is?"

There were several changes to their expressions, but they were all colored with confusion. Sylas didn't mind it at all.

aura.

Ragnar likely believed that Sylas wouldn't be able to make much headway at all, not without the items he likely had in his possession. What he could never expect was that Sylas might not know what materials he needed to permanently etch the Scorpion Warlord runes, but he would sense them when they were in action.

Now the question was, why had Ragnar wanted him to come here?

Was it as simple as luring him into a trap and forcing these three City Lords to throw everything they had at him?

Sylas clenched his fist and suddenly threw out a punch.

BANG!

Ditya's head exploded. His headless corpse fell to its knees before it toppled over in a rain of blood.

'I see. That's the final piece, hm?'

All three of these men were City Lords. So the question was... why did they dare to come here? How long could they leave their cities without ending up like Lucius?

Ditya's corpse suddenly morphed into the headless corpse of a naked woman. From a short

man to a slender woman. Or most accurately, a slender female Sylph.

'This isn't a simple disguise. It's almost like a projection. Their bodies were taken over by the

soul of another and controlled from a distance...'

Sylas made his deductions based on the dispersal of runes in the air.

'... So, the only real one here is you...'

Sylas looked toward Moose once again.
