Sylas hurriedly stopped, but the bloating didn't go away. In fact, it was slowly getting worse. Thinking quickly, he began to gather up the Aether to form a thicker and thicker layer of Aether skin, but just the process of expelling the small bits of Aether he had gathered was so painful.
His pores were forcefully dilated, and there was even a bit of a poison etch being drawn across his skin. Clearly, his immunity was still there, but only in part. As such, his body was fighting back as viciously as it could beneath this new and improved Aether.
It took Sylas several minutes before he managed to reverse the situation, but that didn't change the pain his body was under. Luckily, he had noticed the issue quickly, mostly thanks to his experience with Intelligence Genes allowing him to be very sensitive to the changes in his Aether Pathways. Otherwise, he might have accidentally hit a point of no return before he even understood what had happened.
