The Arctic Emperor's pain echoed as pulsing thoughts in Sylas' mind. However, his speed wasn't slow.
The invisible man was covered in the blood of his own making. He was forced to send out a pulse of Aether to push it away from himself, but that only made his image even brighter in Sylas' visualization.
.
.
Suddenly, Sylas' Speed and Dexterity went from 520 to 884. Ice appeared on the ground all around him at the sa ti, raising his speed to an even more exaggerated level, even approaching 1500 when he also used his telekinesis to lower his weight.
The synergy between activated, whatever Skill the man was using to hide himself suddenly collapsed, and Sylas found the face of a young man with an almost curious expression on his face looking back at him.
This wasn't the look of soone who should be in a fierce battle at all. It was almost the look of a cat playing around with a mouse caught in a trap.
Grin.
Sylas actually couldn't see the man's stats or his na even in this situation. It was as though he didn't exist at all.
However, unlike others, Sylas wasn't put off by Grin's gaze in the slightest. His gaze was still just as cold and indifferent, the weakness in his body doing nothing to slow down his counterattack in the slightest.
The dagger in Grin's hand was ripped out by Sylas' telekinesis as he couldn't control his body to tighten his grip for a brief instant. Then, in a sudden turn, the dagger turned and stabbed right into Grin's throat.
Sylas closed in the final distance, his fist aiming right for Grin's head.
.
The Beast Totem behind him roared with life, and his gaze seed to turn into slits as though
a mighty Serpentes Emperor was bearing down on the world.
However, Grin's expression was still seemingly calm.
BANG!
Grin's head exploded into a rain of blood and gore.
Finally, Sylas ca to a stop, his body heaving for breath. A coldness perated him from head to toe, and a shiver crept up his spine. This wasn't from fear, but rather the fact his blood was starting to run cold.
'Is he really dead?' Sylas couldn't help but think this. Grin wasn't normal, but was there anyone who could be so careless in the face of death?
Even after his oaths, Sylas didn't believe that he could be, and maybe that was why he was pushing so hard. While he had been in difficult, near-death experiences since the volcano incident... had he ever faced true death?
He raised a hand to his neck, feeling the icy cold as his vision swam.
'Maybe...'
Sylas shook his head. His intuition was telling him that this Grin character hadn't died just yet. Regardless of whether he was right or not, he would have to prepare for it as though it was inevitable. This opponent was too shocking.
'But now I know how to deal with his invisibility. Next ti it won't be the sa.'
...
In a forest in the far-off distance, a man stumbled out with a pale face. If Sylas had been able
to see his stats before and after, he would have known that they plumted by half.
However, Grin didn't seem to care in the slightest.
'So... that snake is yours, hm?'
