The breathing of the F-tier Rune Masters hitched as they saw Sylas actually step forward.
One after another, they had all given up on the chance to take on the Spark Mastery challenge. It was better to not participate than to humiliate themselves, especially given the fact they were so very fatigued.
Plus, there was another reason… each and every one of them wanted to see Sylas do it.
They had their own speculations, and by now the answer seemed obvious, but they wanted to see the proof right in front of them. Until they saw it, maybe it would never set in for them that they were seeing the birth of the first Spark Master of their entire Sector.
The weight of this matter was so great that just by stepping forward, it felt to them that Sylas had done the most shocking thing imaginable. Nothing more than a step felt like a hammer dropping down from the skies and smashing right onto their hearts.
And then the world shifted.
