Chapter 1209: ENEMY ONBOARD!
"ENEMY ONBOARD!" Thorny Gold roared, unsheathing—or rather, pulling—a harpoon from his back.
He stomped down once, counterbalancing the sway Sylas had forced into the fishing boat and launching it forward like a javelin.
It shot ahead even faster than what the firing units had managed to send, appearing before Sylas in a blink that nearly split his forehead in two.
However, at the last second, it curled up and into the skies, Sylas’ telekinesis locking onto it.
No Aether protected it, and no Will. Against a projectile like that, with the new strength of Sylas’ telekinesis, while stopping it dead in its tracks was impossible, forcing it to veer off course when Lust and Gluttony were both active was a walk in the park.
The harpoon was sent flying into the air directly, and Sylas had already closed the distance between himself and Thorny Gold.
There were a half-dozen other crew members, each one in the mid-60s in terms of level. However, they weren’t threats. This Thorny Gold, however... he was a true monster.
Sylas knew that his level was beyond what the other crew members could keep up with, so he had to keep him close—he had to make the battle violent and all-consuming, so much so that the weaker Demons couldn’t interfere even if they wanted to.
His hair danced in the rain, his fist flying forward with sharp intent, right toward Thorny Gold’s chest.
The Demon Captain had only just pulled out a second harpoon and instead chose to cross it over his chest. He loomed almost three meters tall, the thickness of his forearms larger than even Sylas’ quads.
Every ounce of him radiated power and the scent of the sea.
