Chapter 577: Druvok and Balgros [Bonus]



Sylas found himself completely surrounded. The maddened howls of Demons almost seemed to attack his mind.

All the worst fears one might have had as a child seemed forced to pour forth from the heart.

The savage air was devastating to both the psyche and the body. The psyche because of the fear and oppression it pressed onto one's Will, and the body because...

They were truly powerful.

The bear demon lunged forward, its black hair bristling like steel needles and rippling with a dense black fog that almost made it formless.

Its body arched forward so far that it looked like it had tensed its entire torso purely to avoid running on all fours.

Given its posture and how top-heavy it was, it should have fallen over long ago. And yet, it was blindingly fast, its claws splayed out in both directions.

It opened its maw to take a bite out of Sylas, its arms slashing forward at the same time.

Sylas was finding it hard to even breathe in this dense Demonic Aether. A weight pressed down on his chest, but his Domin shook and rumbled.

A small space was cleared around him.

The instant the bear demon stepped into his Domain, he erupted. A pair of red-gold wings appeared on his back, and he accelerated forward.

A wooden spike shot up from the net of wood, ripping into the bear demon's chest as Sylas slipped to the side, grabbing its arm and driving a knee through its elbow.

A sickening crack echoed as the demon's limb fell limply.

Sylas grabbed onto its steely fur with a hand, ripping down on its shoulder and using the momentum to send himself propelling upward.

He could sense that the Demon was already beginning to heal from the earlier wound, but he hardly reacted to it.

His arms locked around the bear demon's neck as the wooden spike that ripped through its chest snaked around its uninjured arm.

In that moment, the bear demon found one arm too injured to move and the second immobilized as poison pumped into it, slowing it down further.

But none of that was worse than the twist and violent upward pull of Sylas' torso.

The bear demon's head was torn from its shoulders.

Sylas let the creature go.

Rune Essence bloomed.

The world was suddenly forcefully shaken and the darkness in the region was forcefully expelled around Sylas' Domain.

He took another breath.

This time, his lungs practically cheered in happiness as real oxygen poured into him.

His haggard breathing, his steaming skin, his pale countenance all seemed to reverse in a

single instant.

His body might still ache, and his Aether might be running dangerously low.

But...

He was ready.

Sylas took a step forward, closing in the distance in a single bound.

Before he even did, the two bear demons seemed to choke on the air. The concentration of

poison in the region had increased several times over.

Under normal circumstances, Sylas' poison caused 100 Damage a second. This could only be mitigated by using and continuously replenishing one's Aether skin.

However...

Sylas was going all out. He had increased the concentration to a point where the Damage was

over 500 a second.

Although his Wisdom was also quickly being depleted, he didn't expect this battle to last very

long at all.

By the time he crossed the distance between them, the Aether protections of the two bear

demons had already shattered.

His fist drove into the chest of one.

Druvok coughed up a mouthful of blood and found his Aether skin replenishment attempt

disrupted by a violent tug of Sylas' telekinesis.

The arrogant bear demon was sent flying into the distance.

By the time it fell to the ground, every ounce of flesh in its body was saturated with poison.

It bounced up once and then fell back down.

Dead.

Sylas turned toward the wide-eyed Balgros, his expression indifferent.
