Sylas didn't seem to hear Leia's words or feel the power accumulating from the Fifth Prince in the distance. He was instead looking at the armor on Leia's body.
Weren't external items not allowed?
Sylas' senses shifted toward Nosphaleen's new weapon. It was within the Hibernation Realm, and he raised an internal eyebrow when he saw it.
'I see.'
Sylas vanished, a beam of light tearing right through where he had just been. However, even after phasing through space, he felt a great, oppressive heat closing in on his back.
The instant he stepped out, he felt that it was too late to dodge.
BOOM.
Sylas was enveloped in a spiral of flames, flickering and dancing. It pierced into the skies, waves of fire landing in the surroundings in a cascade of falling embers that were almost reminiscent of the blossoms that had been falling from Nosphaleen's [Petalfall Mirage] technique.
Fifth Prince Sona landed beside Leia, who was already pushing herself up, coughing up another mouthful of blood. She reached up to her nose, snapping it back into place, and then wiped blood from her lips with a sleeve.
The anger dancing in her eyes only seemed to be growing more palpable. Even without all her memories, she could remember the last time she had to take any F-tier seriously at all. It took everything within her to even take E- tiers seriously in the first place, let alone this.
And yet this boy played her for a complete fool.
Reaching up, she pulled on the armor that coated her body, ripping it off as though it was made of wet tissue paper. In reality, her grip was so powerful that even in such a perfect state, it was entirely unable to withstand her strength.
Fifth Prince Sona blinked, his gaze dancing between the pillar of fire in the distance and Leia. What was she doing? That armor was very valuable. Why would she destroy it like that?
"I would advise you destroy yours too. If you use it in front of him, it will cause problems."
"What do you mean?" the Fifth Prince frowned.
"Don't bother to use your Warlord Armor either," she said, not explaining.
She had a very vague memory about what Sylas had used just now, but she couldn't piece it together. This was the problem with reverting to a previous state-because of things like Masteries and Comprehensions, it was impossible to succeed without reverting the mind itself to a previous state as well.
There were some methods of the Analei to mitigate this and keep some memories, but until they returned to their former strength, there were always going to be some memories left over to access.
However... there were some memories that could be triggered based on a catalyst. Unfortunately, this memory she was trying to dig up in particular was probably tied to a former path of power she had once taken. As such, just seeing Sylas unwind her Armor from existence as though knocking over a house of cards wasn't enough to reveal it to her.
Still, her instincts remained. She knew that taking her armor off was the smart decision right now.
"He took that attack point blank. I think you're overthinking things. He's very good at evading and taking initiative, but his actual stats are weak, and he doesn't seem to have any great abilities outside of his telekinesis and movement."
Leia didn't respond again, looking at the pillar of fire intently.
A sway of green shattered it apart.
