Chapter 62 Focus!

[400 PSs Bonus]

Accepting Olivia's arbitrary cost for perfect beast skins that definitely made those high-class armors she was wearing, not saying anything about the fact Olivia had them fight while she and the militiamen did nothing… and now this.

Olivia probably thought he had no idea, but if there was one thing Sylas wasn't, it was a fool. If the bone ax was worth over a thousand coins, then the armor Olivia wore was easily worth as much. Paying 50 coins for a beast skin that could make at least two or three of them was practically spitting in his face.

However, he accepted it for a simple reason.

He was 100% certain that Cassarae hadn't ordered it.

Madness.

Sudden Burst.

<Madness Control>.

The sneering Lurk froze.

With Sylas on the ground and him leaping backward from tree branch to tree branch, there was still at least 20 meters that separated the two, but Sylas suddenly became something even more than superhuman.

Sudden Burst not only allowed him to reach his top Speed instantly, but when he really pushed it and didn't deactivate the skill, basking in the stress his body was under, he could feel himself breaking beyond that limit.

Under <Madness Control>, his body didn't rip itself apart, neither did the Gene Talent run out of control. Instead, the world seemed to slow to a crawl around him, and the entire potential of Sudden Burst was unearthed until it evolved to something beyond a Dexterity Skill.

In an instant, Sylas had cut the distance in half. The effects of Sudden Burst ran out and he could feel the burning in his body that told him he wouldn't be able to use it again for a while. However, this was enough.

A dagger came out from his Madness Key, and under the +150% Will and +200% Charisma that came from Madness, the Physical of his telekinesis skyrocketed to just over 75!

It whistled through the air with a high-pitched screech and impaled Lurk's chest down to the hilt in what felt like an instant.

The gnoll elite opened his eyes wide, not expecting that this would have happened.

However, Sylas' mind was on something else entirely. It wasn't just the fact that Lurk had managed to keep his sanity beneath Madness' effect, but that he had already been spotted. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Just as the gnoll elite was falling from the trees, another group of four gnolls had already spotted Sylas.

Sylas came to a stop. He could feel his body aching beneath the effects of Sudden Burst, but his mind was still moving like a roaring engine. Despair was the last on the list, and he didn't have the luxury of going through all his emotions one by one.

His eyes shifted from the group of gnolls that had been waiting for him to run into the trap to the quiver that had been crushed beneath Lurk's fall.
