Chapter 1286: More or Less [Bonus]
[Bonus Chapter thanks to Patticus <3]
Gralith stepped through the clouds, marbled resin of violet forming squares beneath his feet with every step. It was as though his will was so tangible that he didn’t need a Gene Talent like Aetherflow at all to manifest it.
The man seemed almost too... normal.
It was said that there wasn’t a Human Race in the Sector with abilities worth noting. But Gralith didn’t seem to have anything particularly inhuman about him at all.
His robes were laced in dark violet, his face was handsome and middle-aged, his beard remaining well kempt and carrying sparse strands of grey and white.
He would have seemed like any man one might find on Earth if not for the fact his eyes were a striking violet, one no less natural than the steps beneath his feet.
The appearance of the Scorpion Warlord was something that Sylas might have noticed first, but the Sentinels quickly noticed afterward. The change in the atmosphere was near immediate and everything else seemed to have been forgotten.
Gralith came to a stop three meters or so in front of Sylas, standing in the air just an arm’s reach from the roof of the starship. He seemed to be taking his time to observe this disciple of his, while Sylas felt as though his body had become practically as transparent as glass.
No, it was more like he could feel something peeking behind his curtains, inches away from revealing everything that was him. But his Will, his True Pride Seed, his dominion over himself, and seemingly even a hint of his King Slayer Title seemed to be too stubborn to allow the complete change.
Gralith didn’t seem to react much to this. But then again, he and Sylas were quite similar in this regard. Neither really displayed much emotion.
He looked down at Captain Herrs.
"Explain this to me. The credit will be yours."
