Chapter 1279: Choked
The bubble burst and Sylas calmly walked forward toward the next group, leaving the Skarzok lookalike and his handler in a bit of a daze. Even now, they weren’t 100% certain of what had happened. It felt like they had just been trapped, only to be released moments later.
The perception of the D-tier was odd and twisted, like he couldn’t grasp exactly what had happened. But even now, he didn’t want to believe it.
No. It was impossible for an F-tier to do something like that to him. The only explanation was that someone was helping him, but that only made the D-tier all the more apprehensive.
If Sylas was getting that kind of help, then it wasn’t up to him to interfere. He made his charge sit down in silence. And just like that, everyone else fell in line.
Sylas hid his fatigue behind his stoic face, satisfied with the outcome. He understood people. It didn’t matter if they were alien Races or not. They were all the same at the end of the day.
The only way to hold power was to exert yourself once—only then could you relax and use an easier, more manageable approach. It didn’t have to necessarily be fear, but you needed respect and deterrence. Where that came from didn’t matter for the time being.
The D-tier might think that Sylas had gotten outside help, but this wasn’t the case at all. Instead, Sylas relied on the Hibernation Realm.
Hibernation Halo was an interesting ability. Originally, its purpose was to extend the recovery abilities of the Hibernation Realm into an external form. Thanks to the synergy between his three Legendary Paths, Sylas was able to take advantage of this even to heal himself so long as he was in a state of full Fusion.
Obviously, he wasn’t in such a state now, and he also didn’t need any healing, so that wasn’t what he had used it for.
What made the ability so interesting was the fact that it was projecting an ability. It wasn’t the ability in itself.
