Gogo slithered up behind Sylas, the Duchess still on his head. He peered over the railing, extending out quite far before suddenly shooting back.
A protective golden coating stopped the Duchess from flying away as a beam of light cut upward and nearly took Gogo's head off.
Sylas' eyes narrowed. Given the power of that beam, it should have been much faster than that. The only reason it wasn't was because… well, it was almost like it was just slow enough for Gogo to dodge, like it was a warning rather than an actual attempt on Gogo's life.
That didn't make much sense.
This wasn't a Dungeon, it was a Split Realm. This meant that everything in here should have been far more realistic to real life rather than just a set challenge they had to clear.
If that stone was the Monkey King's egg like Sylas assumed it was, there was exactly zero reason why the defensive mechanisms here should show such kindness. It should have taken Gogo much more than that to dodge.
