Chapter 1182: The True Scorned Wraps (1)

Sylas stood in silence for a very long while before he spoke.

"Are these how we hide our Seeds from the system?"

The little girl fell into silence for a long while.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you’re too smart for your own good?"

Sylas didn’t reply, his mind churning at the obvious affirmative. The girl was essentially saying that he was a fool for taking the Scorned Wraps as a positive.

They weren’t wraps. They were chains.

Necessary chains. Ones that existed for the sake of allowing Madness Disciples to be among the living and not suffer under the constant oppression of the system of the time they lived in.

"Then why is part of being a Madness Disciple provoking the system? Why is that a requirement for moving up Tiers?"

The little girl chuckled. "If you can’t prove that you can suffer beneath the system’s Wrath, what right do you have to be one of us? When you become a Tier Four Disciple, you will feel the difference. I’ve seen you using the Scorned Wraps like they are some sort of tool. You don’t seem to realize that every time you evoke their power, all you’re really doing is being humiliated by the world.

"Can’t you see that those flames aren’t from the Scorned Wraps? Those flames are the flames that would scorch you to ash if you weren’t wearing them. Those flames manifest to kill anything that is even remotely associated with you, even by—"

"Even by thought," Sylas said.

"Indeed. It seems you understand it a little bit."

"Sounds very useful," Sylas said, his understanding resonating on an even deeper level.

That meant that the limits of those flames weren’t the Scorned Wraps at all, but instead the hatred the world had for him? In which case, there was hardly a limit to it at all.

So long as someone couldn’t withstand the ire of the world, they wouldn’t be able to deal with his Scorned Wraps either.

"So should I use the Scorned Wraps like a Treasure? Or not? What is the point of their evolution?" Sylas asked.

Clearly, he didn’t have to pay for information related to things he was allowed to know as a Tier Three Madness Disciple. So why not learn all he could now?

"Certainly not the way you use them," the little girl snorted.

Sylas thought to how he used the Scorned Wraps now. Before, they were just extensions of his fists and kicks. Now, they could extend like whips and chains, trapping enemies and such.

He had planned on feeling out methods of grappling with them, as he felt that this would definitely take his close-combat abilities to another level—especially with telekinesis to match with them.

But the little girl seemed to be saying that this wasn’t the method to use them?

"How should I be using them?" Sylas asked.

"That’s for you to figure out," she pouted.
