The Monkey King thought himself clever, and maybe in some odd, certain respect, he was. He had probably faced off against Sylas' future self, which meant he also knew of the Grimblade Bloodline.
What was the Grimblade Bloodline best at if not swallowing up Wills?
To put a battlefield of Wills in front of Sylas like this, and expect him to just keep taking lumps and deaths one after another would have been the pinnacle of foolishness, and the Monkey King was no fool.
That was why instead of taking the fluctuations of the Split Realm as a flaw, the Monkey King used it as a strength.
Supreme Commander Ros had been the first to attack Sylas, but after she was finished, she was suddenly pulled back through time, sent to her starting position, and had to rush forward to attack him again.
After everything that happened, that attack was only the second one that Supreme Commander Ros had been able to levy, and it didn't even get the chance to land in the first place.
