Bab 299: Shadow

There was no suspense. This time, Sylas was completely washed out and he couldn't surface nearly as easily. It was impossible to rely on buoyancy when there was this much water crashing on him from above. The downward force would overwhelm whatever upward force he could benefit from.

Sylas found himself buried several meters beneath sea level, but he was still calm. So long as he could orient himself, it wasn't a problem. He could still point out the direction of the coastline, he knew which way was up, and he knew which direction he was going.

Rather than trying to fight against the current, he allowed it to carry him deeper, using a combination of his telekinesis, Dexterity, Speed, and Strength to rush forward.

With the help of all of these things, Sylas actually found that he was faster in the water than he would have been on land. Although his agility was lacking, when it came to straight-line speed, he felt that he was close to the pace of the Dire Wolf.
