Chapter 721: Vaekra



Sylas stood in silence for a long while, gathering his thoughts and coming to an understanding about his new Comprehension.

He understood at that moment that was what was holding him back once again. If Comprehensions were just a mere boost to stats, then they wouldn't be Comprehensions.

There were many aspects of Madness that he just took for granted. His telekinesis only appeared after he comprehended Madness, for example, and that was back when his Will was incredibly weak.

What about his ability to target the minds of others with Madness? That too was an odd external ability.

He hadn't used it in very long because he learned to control and restrain his Madness so as not to impact allies. In addition, he picked Unique Genes that turned away from this method.

But who was to say that he needed external Genes to help it along further?

Much the same way, the abilities of Mixed Martial Arts weren't as simple as a boost to his Dexterity and Will either...

Sylas' mind suddenly shook and his gaze snapped back toward the Basilisk King. It was still in a slumber, but just now he had felt it stir.

'No...'

A burp came from the Basilisk King's mouth and a pressure was suddenly released. 'Trouble.'

Sylas didn't even think. He stomped a foot and shot forward.

At the same instant, a powerful pressure came from the Basilisk King's mouth.

BANG!

A shockwave bombarded against Sylas. The lava that had yet to settle down from the Basilisk King's earlier sput of telekinesis, but it was disturbed once again.

CRACK.

Sylas felt his Scorpion Warlord armor almost give way as he was sent flying.

The pressure of the lava to his back and the wave of strength coming from the front made him feel like his body itself was about to collapse. Compressed from both sides, his chest shook and he coughed out a mouthful of blood that was instantly eviscerated by the heat in the surroundings.

BANG!

A grunt came from Sylas' lips.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The volcano churned and a pillar of red gold pierced upward, so high that it almost burst through the canopy of the large mountain itself.

However, while it didn't, Sylas did.

He suddenly came to an abrupt and forceful stop, arching his back in the wrong direction as he pulled on his own head with telekinesis.

CHI!

A burning pain came from Sylas' throat as a sharp pain ripped through it.

Blood spurted as a deep gash almost ripped his neck apart.

The arrow whizzed right by Sylas, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

BANG!

The inner wall of the volcano shattered, a large mass with the weight of a small hill being cut out of it. Boulders larger than even Sylas' body fell from the chipped pieces, plummeting through the air and kicking up large waves in the sea of red gold that were quickly swallowed up by the earlier commotion.

Sylas' head snapped toward a certain location.

A young woman wrapped in beast furs and adorned in bone held up a bow twice the length of

her body.

She stood in the skies just like Sylas did, her bare feet tiptoeing across the air in an elegant, graceful dance as she fired a second arrow.

[Level: 9]

[Physical: 1222]

[Mental: 1582]

[Will: 997]

The cracks in Sylas' armor, especially the one now in his throat, were quickly healing as it greedily swallowed up the Aether in the surroundings. But the arrow was faster.

It felt like Sylas only blinked once, but it was already upon him.

But Sylas took a step forward through the skies, red-gold wings spreading out to his back as

his hand curved through the air.

Time slowed.

The tips of his fingers slid beneath the body of the arrow, and a slight change in the angle of

his wrist sent it flying over his shoulder.
