Sylas stood on a battlefield all alone, his chest moving rhythmically and yet his breath sounding akin to a steaming engine. Violent upswells of heated air billowed out from his lungs as though a dragon breathing fire, the air sparking with emerald streaks of lightning from time to time.
Nothing but carnage was laid at his feet.
Sylas looked up into the skies. 'Three hours.'
He nodded to himself.
With the help of the 040 Sanctum, it took him 21 hours to finish wiping out the entire army. Granted, there were two armies, but there had been far more than just Sylas alone.
This time, however, Sylas took a seventh of the time all on his own, despite the fact this Demon Wave was stronger than the last. It was a result that no one had expected at all, but it was one that Sylas had known was possible from the very moment he saw that his enemies were somehow breaking the rules and wearing armors.
He bent down and ripped out another crystal heart that pulsed with Runes, his gaze hard to read.
There was a heavy silence in the outside world. At this moment, even the 001 Sanctum was still in battle. They were close to wiping out what remained of the wave of Demons, but none were like Sylas-who wasn't fighting anymore at all.
The main issue was that they had all seen Sylas fight with their own two eyes. At no point did he use a strength that overwhelmed that displayed by the top-level Sanctums. It didn't make any sense what they were seeing... again.
This was already the second time Sylas had done something they couldn't make sense of. But the illuminated crown that had only just flickered out of existence above his head seemed to paint a completely different mystery quite clearly for them all.
Dominus Paragon.
The Dominus Paragon Crown wasn't one that appeared for the same reason as the others.
When a Primus Imperium was dominating in their field, asserting their dominance and crushing their enemies with raw strength, that was when the Crown would be stimulated to appear. It would also appear when something that was being done that would otherwise be impossible without it was occurring. For example, an F-tier using E- Grade Aether.
When a Primus Luminaria was exerting influence over its abilities, its Crown would likewise appear. This would be when an F-tier was using E-Grade Runes... but it would also appear when it was displaying absolute dominance over Rune Mastery as well, and especially when the Runic Path that triggered its appearance in the first place was being used.
Of course, either one of these Crowns could be summoned by its wielder whenever they wanted to as well, but at that point, it would be for little reason other than cosmetic. Though, in the case of Primus Luminaria, it could also be used to suppress other Rune Masters. It was just unfortunate this ability had many limitations, so Sylas rarely used it.
However, for Dominus Paragon to appear...
