[Bonus thanks to The FallofAllThings :)]
In all the time Sylas had spent in the libraries, he actually hadn't wasted a single Merit. The libraries were the one thing in the guild that were free. The only restriction was taht without being at a certain level of Rune Mastery, you couldn't enter higher level libraries.
However, as someone who was now a Spark Master of the E-Grade, Sylas was able to enter higher level libraries than he had. He had just chosen not to.
As much time as it had taken him to go through all of the F-grade libraries, it would have taken even more time to go through the E-Grade ones.
For the time being, he chose that this wasn't the best use of his time and chose a different approach instead.
There was one thing that Fanelei was correct about. This Cryst Emperor would be an extreme problem. Though Sylas had improved his Combat Matrix Index by a ridiculous margin, there was still not even a 10% chance of winning.
If he was lucky, this Cryst Emperor had only just entered the E-tier. If he was unlucky, they might already be on the verge of the D-tier. In either case, but especially the latter, their stats would be impossibly far beyond his own, as would be his Skills, Comprehensions, and other matters.
Even on the conservative side, Sylas should probably be preparing for someone who could acutely burst with around a billion or so stats of power. If he was especially unlucky, it might even be double that.
And none of this even considered what protections this Cryst Emperor would have, nor what the end result of killing him would be.
This person was obviously very vital to the Seeing Eye Guild. Sylas wouldn't be foolish enough to think that he could just kill and run away without there being any sort of danger beyond the initial battle.
That would be the pinnacle of foolishness.
He needed more.
But as with all things, Sylas had long planned things out. After he left the libraries, he had already located his next target and transported himself directly there.
Finally, he would have to use some Merits.
Sylas looked around and then walked to a counter. After exchanging around 10 or so Merits for a single pod, he entered a glass encasement just large enough for a single person to sit and recline comfortably.
He closed his eyes and the world spun around him. When he entered again, he was standing in a room of large white stone slabs, a perfect cube with not a single exit.
Reaching out, he tapped at the air right in front of him and a screen appeared.
The 10 Merits he had paid were just for the sake of using this pod for a week's of time. This was one of the resources that didn't scale with one's Merits.
What would really cost here, though, were the things on this list. Each one represented a Path of Rune Mastery, each one carrying their own simulations to teach and test.
This was probably the most valuable resource in the guild. However, not everyone could just join and use it at a whim like Sylas could. Even the 10 Merits it took to use it for a week was something that others might need several hard working days to gather, and even then that wouldn't cover the actual simulation cost.
