Chapter 1271: Two Minutes
Sylas’ answer was obviously no. But he didn’t think that just saying his name would elicit the change. He certainly didn’t feel it, which was odd considering the sensitivity of his senses.
That meant that whatever results saying his name triggered, it must have happened inside the body of whoever heard it, almost like a suppression of sorts.
It was odd, though. Sylas had had his Royal Line for quite a while, ever since he claimed the Woodland Territory. Right now he didn’t have a Royal Line—he had a Royal Hero Line. It was on a completely different level.
But that didn’t explain why they would attack him. No, more accurately, why a C-tier would suddenly go out of their way to attack him like this even at the risk of offending Gralith and Old Brama.
It was one thing if Sylas’ peers killed him—that was perfectly allowed and wouldn’t be pursued. The Beast Warlord Sanctum had many years of precedent for this, and everyone felt safe to do exactly that.
That was even more so for Gralith, who was practically known as a pacifist. Or, it was more accurate to say that this was the case for the entire Scorpion Line.
Those that could tap into the Scorpion Lineage tended to be patient and risk-averse. This wasn’t how Sylas saw the Scorpion Lineage, but he was also the one that pointed out \[Earth Escape] shouldn’t be part of the Armor’s arsenal. His views were very different than the other Scorpions’.
However, if it was a C-tier, or even an E-tier, that acted to try and take out Sylas under less than savoury circumstances—well... there would be consequences for that.
The question was how bad would they be?
Since Sylas wasn’t an official disciple just yet, the punishment, in all likelihood, wouldn’t be death. So whether it was worth it would be entirely dependent on whether what they gained out of killing Sylas was worthwhile.
Gralith’s Badge?
