Chapter 1181: Chains
Sylas stared at the obelisk, his eyes narrowed. So it was trying to resist the impotent system.
These rewards were from the All-Seeing Eye, but the All-Seeing Eye was now gone. This meant that anything that had to be carried forward—like a Destiny Quest, or something like this map—would actually be seamlessly handed over to the Crimson Eye to handle.
This must have been part of why Sylas had to be cut just now. It was part of a complicated handover procedure that he didn’t quite understand.
But this was exactly what the obelisks didn’t want. Connecting them to the impotent system would mean endangering everything they had built until now.
‘This is a bit… complicated…’
The obelisks looked like they would rather be destroyed than allow Sylas to take this path. Of course, the so-called “emotion” wasn’t actually real—it was just Sylas actually listening to the Runes and deciphering why it was they were rampaging.
Now that he understood the “emotion” of the Runes, everything else fell into place, and he was able to deduce a great deal about what was going on. Things that hadn’t quite made sense in the past also began to make more sense as well.
But that left one question…
What should he do now?
The obelisks didn’t even look like they would survive for much longer like this. They were already on the verge of destruction. If not for the Madness Key acting as a bit of a barrier to what was happening in the outside world, it was possible that they would have already self-destructed rather than be compromised.
If Sylas actually did go through all the trouble of getting to the end of the map and laying hands on whatever it was he was supposed to get—presumably to improve or evolve the obelisks—then it would all be for naught.
