Sylas took the first step and the phantom surged at him, pierci moment it touched him...

BANG!

The phantom shattered to pieces, scattering into the wind.

'Interesting...'

Sylas took another step and the scene replayed itself. Although differently and had different war cries, their intentions were al

'They are like Astral Will projections...'

GOT IT

Sylas had the skill <Astral Will Fission>, and it was one of his more interesting ones, but he had never thought of using it to attack like this, nor was he certain that he could.

'Well, I might be able to. But it seems suicidal. There's no way to retrieve my Will after it shatters, so I would just be cutting my own Will stat down...'

Sylas was almost casual as he continued to think and walk forward at the same time. None of the phantoms were capable of even making him give them more than a single glance.

Still, he was finding their methods fascinating to the point he began to study the Runes in the air. Luckily he had replenished his mental state, or else he certainly wouldn't have the luxury of doing such a thing.

By the time Sylas was halfway through, he realized that he was touching on something incredibly profound. The only unfortunate part was that this kamikaze-style mental attack wouldn't be worth it for day-to-day battle.

To take on a permanent loss to his Will, he would have to really be in a dire situation.

And the worst part was that if he was in such a bad situation, the opponent's Will would almost certainly be great as well. That meant he would have to give up a substantial piece of his own.

'Unless...'

Sylas looked around and found what he was looking for.

Indeed, as expected, this kamikaze attack also incorporated Ice-Poison into it. What if he could pull back on the amount of Will he used to instead use it as an injection point for Ice- Poison itself?

His manifestation of Ice-Poison was a Rune. And after comprehending Rune Soul, he understood that there was very much a soul aspect to Runes that couldn't be ignored. If he could use Rune Soul to attach Ice-Poison to this kamikaze Will attack, with Astral Will Fission as a foundation, he might be able to create a potent mental attack that just might kill an opponent before they knew what was happening.

Unfortunately...

It was a great idea but he didn't dare to test it out. How could he run a test that would require a permanent loss of his Will? Especially since the minimum bar for Astral Will Fission was 100 Will.

'It seems I'll have to wait until the situation is truly dire to know whether I'm a genius or a fool.'

Sylas calmly took the last steps of the Will challenge, rebuffing everything he came across with hardly any effort at all. It felt almost too good, to the point where Sylas was looking around to see if there was more trouble waiting for him around the corner even after he had finished it.

However...
