"Master."
Nosphaleen came to Sylas' side before her gaze flickered up to the skies and then back. Despite the C-tiers looking down, it seemed as though the only thing of any real importance to her was Sylas.
The moment she appeared, though, it felt like the space distorted, the Runes of the planet bending around her and making it difficult to make out her true appearance completely.
When the C-tiers saw this, their expressions changed. How could an F-tier affect their senses? That didn't make any sense.
"Let's go," Sylas said.
Nosphaleen nodded and her body shook. Silvery scales reflecting gorgeous pinks, lush violets, and sky blues appeared across her delicate skin. She enlarged, Runes wrapping around her until she became a beast that roared to the skies.
The 713th Serpent Warlord's expression constricted into pinholes. It felt as though in front of Nosphaleen, she couldn't summon her Warlord Armor even if she wanted to. Sylas' body flickered and he landed on Nosphaleen's head. He had only just done so when the Runes wrapping around her expanded.
WHOOSH.
Nosphaleen's wings spread out far and wide, casting a shadow over the hub. Even D- tiers felt their blood freezing over, their Aether not responding to their calls as the Whale Warlord Armor sprung into action.
Long, silky, and fluttering energies danced across the air in reflective moons, the Aether and space becoming so thick it almost looked as though Nosphaleen was gliding through the waters of the ocean instead of the skies.
"Tell the Emperor Sanctum that I used the Warlord Armor to teach my beast to use it. I have a beast taming Profession. No rules have been broken."
After saying this, Nosphaleen flapped her wings once, and in a blink, she had vanished once again. When they appeared once more, they were above Sylas' vessel.
Prione tried to take a step forward, but it was Gralith's aura that stopped him from taking another.
"You've received your explanation. Clearly, my disciple has things to do. So unless you want to fight right here and now, learn when to take a step back, Prione."
The 713th Lion Warlord's expression became gloomy.
"Beasts can't be Rune Masters. His story is full of holes."
"Well, you just saw one. I assume your senses aren't so pitiful that you can't sense a master-subordinate relationship when you see one, right?"
Prione didn't have a rebuttal. Just Nosphaleen's appearance alone made it obvious enough.
In the air, though, the one looking toward Sylas with the most heated gaze wasn't Prione at all, nor was it even Erethea, whose Whale Warlord Armor had just been used to a level at the F-tier she had never seen before.
It was Aranya.
There was good reason Sylas had hidden his Vipermancy Profession all this time. He didn't want the complications that came with it being so available.
However, he had already used it in part to defeat Morvok, the number one ranked E-tier disciple. Back then, there had already been suspicions about what was going on.
still, since not long after Sylas defeated an E-tier genius of the Thryskai, it was just assumed that he was just that strong.
