When Sylas felt his mind fill with information about this poison, he was immediately interested.
Also, the idea of potentially fusing with a creature that would allow him to control the bones in his body for both extra defense and offense was likewise intriguing.
He couldn't use weapons, but surely the Scorned Wraps wouldn't count his own bones?
Sylas hesitated when he thought of this. If the Scorned Wraps turned him to ash because of such a thing, it would be too late to regret it. There wouldn't even be a "him" to regret anything.
'No need to overthink it. The point of the Scorned Wraps from their introduction is that I must rely on my own body and nothing else. My bones are definitely an extension of that. If something is going wrong, I'll sense it.'
He was also getting ahead of himself. This lizard only had partial Serpentes Genes in it; it didn't quite count as one. Plus, it was extremely expensive.
