Three of the four top Warlords of the Sanctum appeared.

The disciples below couldn't help but look between Sylas and them, then back again.

It felt like ever since Sylas appeared, this had been happening over and over again. Before, seeing even one of the lesser 713th Warlords was an impossible task. Usually, only direct disciples could see them from time to time, and even then it wasn't all that ikely.

Unlike Gralith, these experts tended to take a lot of disciples in and didn't have the time to give all of them the perfect amount of attention they needed unless they proved themselves.

The Serpent, Lion, Ape, and Whale Lineage Heads were a bit more selective than the others, but because they were so difficult to please in terms of the complexities of their Armors, they were rare to appear as well.

Now, it felt like every time Sylas appeared, they appeared. Not only this, but their conflicts somehow always seemed to surround him.

The words Prione spoke made them recall the huge clash between the Ossarans and the Bat Lineage. Or, more accurately, the Ossarans and the Kaelthar.

That matter had led to an enormous falling out. The Bat Lineage had been expelled from their 073 Sanctum and forced to return the resources they had taken.

At the same time, they had made enemies of a Sanctum that was almost 10 ranks above them nonetheless.

However, Sylas' plan had been airtight. While the Lion Lineage Head was enraged right now, it wasn't because he understood Sylas' plan from back then. It was instead because he needed an excuse to force Sylas to hand over the Lion Lineage Legacy he had in his possession.

That was the irony of it all.

He was blaming Sylas for something that was ironically Sylas' fault, but the second layer of irony was that he didn't actually believe Sylas was fully responsible for it, even if he was.

It was a defense that was almost too perfect. Prione didn't even believe what he was saying; he was just using it as a pretext. And because of that, it would be even less likely for him to believe that Sylas was, in fact, the reason for everything that happened back then.

The three things Sylas had gained from that scheme... the Lineages, the expulsion of the Bat Lineage, and evidence of the Tiger Lineage's betrayal, all remained in his back pocket.

"Do not speak to me of stopping, Erethea. There must be an accounting for what happened back then, unless you believe disciples should be allowed to run amok and do as they please, even at the cost of the lives of their fellow brothers and sisters."

“You are speaking nonsense," Erethea said coolly. "There is no evidence for what you speak of, and you're beginning to have a chilling effect on the disciples. Sylas is also an invaluable member of our Sanctum. What do you mean by doing all of this?"

“Invaluable? He's an F-tier. At most, he can help us secure good placing in one Tier, maybe two with his talent, but that won't change anything. He'll be too powerful by the next cycle to change anything.
