Sylas didn't reply immediately.
He did consider the possibility that this expert would be cross with him; he also considered the possibility that they could destroy the attempt of the system to allow him to receive the rewards they had promised back then.
Powerful people could manipulate the system. That was something he had accepted long ago, and it wasn't something that would surprise him.
But this was also a test for him. It was worth it, even if it cost him something as valuable as a Rewind Template. That was because it would allow him to gauge the attitude of the Legend before he went.
If she was too enraged or even just the exact opposite-Sylas would never go.
Someone who was so powerful was bound to have an ego. How could they be sitting around waiting for a little F- tier like himself to decide to join them? That was nothing more than a joke.
If they were too eager, it more than likely meant that they wanted Sylas for something else, and by the time Sylas landed in their palms, it would be too late to regret anything.
However, someone who was too irrational and impossible to reason with was also someone he couldn't deal with. That said, there was a level of irrationality that was good-just the right amount might actually be perfect.
"No reply? I would say you pissed yourself in fear, but I don't sense any of that. You're either a fool or a fool."
The woman didn't seem to have made a slip of the tongue, and if she had, she had no intentions of admitting it. "I killed an Analei a few days ago," Sylas suddenly said.
The voice fell into complete and utter silence. The Will didn't so much as shift, but its weight and presence were very much still there.
"A former A-tier, Leia Analei. Her most recent incarnation was-"
"Stop speaking."
Sylas fell into silence, his expression much the same as always.
"You haven't even come yet and you're already such a headache. Do you think I don't know you come from a Summoned World? If you hadn't, you think I would waste time on someone with as poor a foundation in Rune Mastery as you?"
The old woman seemed ready to continue speaking when she suddenly paused.
"Hm... not as weak as before. But you get my point. I'm aware of why you didn't accept. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch, little boy. You can't reject when you want to and return when you want to, and now you're talking to me about killing my granddaughter, for goodness' sake."
Sylas' eyes narrowed.
"I swear, young men these days are really only more and more unbridled than the last. If she ends up wasting two reincarnations because of you, I'll have to spank the both of you."
