Sylas continued forward without slowing, and the first group of rat humanoids that tried to block him died before Fanelei could finish looking over the remains of the last. A ring of emerald Runes opened across the path, several gear-like formations rotating through one another before the strength of an incoming spear was mismatched against the defense of the rat beside it, sending the weapon clean through its chest.
Fanelei watched the corpse collapse, then looked back at Sylas with an expression that had grown increasingly difficult to hide. "What did you actually do to them?"
"Will Priming."
Her eyes immediately lit up.
Of all the answers Sylas could have given, somehow the fact it was something so familiar made it more interesting rather than less. Fanelei had used Will Priming for longer than Sylas had been alive, yet she had just watched him apply it in a way she wouldn't have even thought to attempt.
