The difference appeared the instant Caelum completed his breakthrough.
Sylas had already understood that the gap between Rune Creation Tiers couldn't be treated like an ordinary increase in strength, but understanding something and experiencing it were different matters. The golden panels Caelum had formed pressed forward without resistance, swallowing the emerald around Sylas so quickly that the battlefield they had fought over for so long became almost entirely gold.
Caelum laughed as the mechanisms within both of his eyes accelerated.
His Time Runes had become far more intricate after entering the B-tier, while his Order Path seemed to benefit even more. What had once required layers of corrections now happened naturally, each piece of chaos finding a place in the whole before Sylas could introduce another contradiction.
Sylas didn't move, and there was only a slight flicker in his eyes as another hundred of his Runes disappeared beneath the gold.
