[675 GTs bonus]?",

Just when the F grade Basilisk Minor wanted to turn back to see what the commotion was about, it felt a sudden rage surge up from within it. It forgot about everything but the opponents right before it and it lunged at the off-balance Brant with malice.

There was another flash from Brant's shield, and his eyes cleared. He reacted to the lunging snake with a shield bash, and Aria's spear thrust through the air.

The spear's tip glowed with a subtle hue as she activated a Skill of her own and the blade ripped right through the beast's throat.

Sylas took it all in, closing the distance rapidly. However, it was clear that he wouldn't make it in time to affect the situation…

Or so it seemed.

Sudden Burst.

Sylas was already at his top Speed, but he activated Madness Control and ripped through those limits, taking the pair off guard as a Blade Aura infused fist released a hollow whistle. The attack cut through the air, aiming right for Brant's head.

With the sort of power Sylas had now, killing a man with a single fist wasn't anywhere near an impossible task.

Brant was ready, though, raising his shield and preparing for another flow of Aether.

That was when Sylas suddenly pulled back his feint, his other hand shooting forward and grabbing onto the pole arm of Aria's yet-to-retract spear.

He had only faced off against Brant for a short time, but he already knew that he wanted nothing to do with the man, at least not head on. His goal had already been Aria.

Aria's brows jumped as she was somewhat caught off guard as well. Even in this situation, she was a half step behind Brant and she was used to the man always covering for her weaknesses.

In her mind, it made sense that Sylas would try to take him out first. He was the greatest threat. It was a mistake so many before had made.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Even so, Aria's Aether blazed, and she reacted quickly. Her wrist twisted as she pulled, another light forming on her blade tip. So long as Sylas' grip loosened just the slightest bit, he would definitely lose his hand.

But it didn't. In fact, his Strength was so overwhelming that she was pulled off her balance, stumbling forward.

"LET GO!" Brant roared. He had just wasted a Skill and was lagging behind a bit.

Aria listened, but to her surprise, Sylas released the spear at the same time. Then, the spear that should have fallen to the ground was pulled away by a mysterious force and sent clanging behind Sylas.

From their perspective, it looked as though Sylas had thrown it away and they didn't think twice about it. Using a weapon you weren't familiar with in battle didn't make sense.
