Chapter 1276: Buddy ’Ol Pal
"TIERE!"
The screams of the C-tier reverberated, but Sylas didn’t even look up. He knew that Old Brama would handle it. Instead, he was silently collecting something, while his thoughts roamed.
Powerful.
This woman was surely that.
He seemed to use his Rune Mastery less in this battle than he would otherwise, but that was because he had a much harder time finding space and the timing to do so—as ironic as that was.
It almost felt like a spar between masters; he could see Tiere’s counters coming before they did, his Luck alerting him to them and forcing him to pivot.
In the end, he had to use this far more scheming-like approach to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, it would have gone on for quite a while and more variables would crop up.
And most importantly of all... this was an F-tier existence, not an E-tier like he had grown quite used to slaughtering.
Of course, Tiere was already a Level 50 and already in the process of building her F-Grade Foundation, something that Sylas had yet to begin. Due to that, while they were both Level 50, Tiere was still technically leagues beyond him in terms of raw foundation, especially since she was a mutated member of a C-Grade Race.
But even so, it was a wake-up call.
If others knew that Sylas considered a battle he ended within a few minutes to be a wake-up call, it would be a wonder what they would think. But much the same as he always said... Sylas measured his achievements by himself alone. He didn’t care very much to compare to others.
