Sylas stood on a battlefield all alone, his chest moving rhythmically and yet his breath sounding akin to a steaming engine. Violent upswells of heated air billowed out from his lungs as though a dragon breathing fire, the air sparking with erald streaks of lightning from ti to ti.
Nothing but carnage was laid at his feet.
Sylas looked up into the skies. 'Three hours.'
He nodded to himself.
With the help of the 040 Sanctum, it took him 21 hours to finish wiping out the entire army. Granted, there were two armies, but there had been far more than just Sylas alone.
This ti, however, Sylas took a seventh of the ti all on his own, despite the fact this Demon Wave was stronger than the last. It was a result that no one had expected at all, but it was one that Sylas had known was possible from the very mont he saw that his enemies were sohow breaking the rules and wearing armors.
He bent down and ripped out another crystal heart that pulsed with Runes, his gaze hard to read.
There was a heavy silence in the outside world. At this mont, even the 001 Sanctum was still in battle. They were close to wiping out what remained of the wave of Demons, but none were like Sylas-who wasn't fighting anymore at all.
The main issue was that they had all seen Sylas fight with their own two eyes. At no point did he use a strength that overwheld that displayed by the top-level Sanctums. It didn't make any sense what they were seeing... again.
This was already the second ti Sylas had done sothing they couldn't make sense of. But the illuminated crown that had only just flickered out of existence above his head seed to paint a completely different mystery quite clearly for them all.
Dominus Paragon.
The Dominus Paragon Crown wasn't one that appeared for the sa reason as the others.
When a Primus Imperium was dominating in their field, asserting their dominance and crushing their enemies with raw strength, that was when the Crown would be stimulated to appear. It would also appear when sothing that was being done that would otherwise be impossible without it was occurring. For example, an F-tier using E- Grade Aether.
When a Primus Luminaria was exerting influence over its abilities, its Crown would likewise appear. This would be when an F-tier was using E-Grade Runes... but it would also appear when it was displaying absolute dominance over Rune Mastery as well, and especially when the Runic Path that triggered its appearance in the first place was being used.
Of course, either one of these Crowns could be summoned by its wielder whenever they wanted to as well, but at that point, it would be for little reason other than costic. Though, in the case of Primus Luminaria, it could also be used to suppress other Rune Masters. It was just unfortunate this ability had many limitations, so Sylas rarely used it.
However, for Dominus Paragon to appear...
It was only triggered when soone was exceeding the scope of their chessboard, displaying a level of intellect not just beyond the feats they had perford in the past, but even beyond what most watching him were capable of comprehending.
Even when Sylas had forcefully raised the level of that Rhino Warlord disciple, it hadn't appeared. And yet, here it was now.
"He has already won."
The voice ca from an individual who had been all too silent until now, a young man who radiated the aura of a D-tier but seed far more reserved than many of the other bestial personalities around him.
Even so, his words carried a great deal of weight. That was because, despite being of the 007 Sanctum, he had an identity that was heavier than most could fathom here.
He, too, was a Dominus Paragon.
However, his Title of Dominus Paragon was orders of magnitude more shocking than Sylas' own. That was because he was from a Sector that could house a branch as powerful as the 007 Sanctum. Even the smallest powers in this section of the universe could wipe the floor with the Milky Way Sector-and even the Milky Way Horizon as a whole.
Yet he, as a D-tier-even amongst seas of B-tiers-was the one who held this Title.
He was quite the low-key individual. In fact, he wasn't even a part of the four main lineages and was instead part of a very interesting lineage... The Scorpion.
Denesture Vuntil. Just 22 years old this year, and yet having stepped into the earliest reaches of the D-tier.
Rare were the words he spoke, and yet that only made them carry all the more weight.
The other mbers of the 007 Sanctum looked toward him, but it wasn't until a hulking man with a neck seemingly thicker than even his massive biceps looked toward him that Denesture said anything more.
The 713th Lion Warlord of the 007 Sanctum wasn't known for his patience. And even if he hadn't been, even Denesture wasn't arrogant enough to ignore the glance of a B-tier.
"He's reverse-engineered the simulation that produces the Demon Waves. He can understand what they're going to do before they do. The Earth Demons are powerful, but their vulnerabilities are very obvious. If you can sever the connection ford between their crystal cores and the mud that makes them up, they will die.
"Before she died, the Analei made it a point to take off her armor. I think she realized sothing we did not, and I'm pretty sure I know what that is now.
"Sylas Grimblade has been graced with the Runeweaver Profession, and he has likely upgraded it beyond the E- Grade. If he can see through the simulation, then his attacks can be as much as a tenth as powerful as that of the Demon Waves and still kill them all with a single strike.
"But that much is still not the key part. If I'm correct, Sylas Grimblade is also a Primus Luminaria."
