Blood fell from Sylas' fingers as a corpse fell from his hands, its neck snapped and its jaw hanging down to one side as though it had been torn off.
This was already the third checkpoint they had taken down, including the first that Bass had led him to.
It wasn't that the Ravenclaws were so slow to react, but rather that Sylas was too fast.
He had a Speed that far outstripped most Mounts these days, and he was already at a level where he could rival and even outpace vehicles at this point, while also having an agility they couldn't match.
The first time he was in his Evergreen Territory, just after conquering Paradise, it would have taken him at least an hour to make it to and from all these checkpoints. But now, it took him not even a dozen minutes.
As for the actual conquering process, even though she was a bit handicapped in an attempt to keep Sunniva in line, the addition of Nosphaleen might as well have been a cheat code.
