Rheos' pupils constricted, but before he could process what had happened, another challenge began.
This time, he forced his Will forward the instant the formation appeared, abandoning the measured approach he had used before. He didn't care about elegance anymore, nor was he interested in displaying the superiority of his comprehension. He only needed one victory to reverse the momentum and prove that whatever Sylas had done was nothing more than a temporary burst of enlightenment.
Unfortunately, the Rune shattered before his Will could establish even the slightest foothold.

[Challenge Complete]
[You Have Lost]
—
"WAIT! YOU CAN'T JUST—"
Another challenge began, and Rheos barely managed to raise his hand before Sylas completed it, his Will passing through the Rune structure with such precision that the entire formation dissolved without the slightest resistance.
