Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Tamer

Its mood plummeted.",

These were just ants, after all. What would killing them prove?

Nothing at all.

Its head drooped down to the ground again. It caught Sylas' unconscious form out of the corner of its eye, and it was taken aback. How had this monster ended up like this?

It could remember every punch Sylas had thrown, but more than that… it could remember his eyes.

They flickered with a calm light probably even he wasn't aware of. There was never panic, never fear, and most importantly to the Basilisk King… there was never rage. Nothing could move him from his center of calm.

Should it kill him now?

Its lowered head slowly raised from the grassy ground, looming over Sylas. It completely turned its back to Garrick, not caring about his existence in the slightest.

Garrick didn't even dare to make a sound. In fact, when he saw the Basilisk King turn, he immediately did the same, rushing away at his fastest possible Speed.

The Basilisk King paid him no mind, its maw opening wide as it loomed over Sylas. Blood and saliva pooled from its teeth, dripping with malice.

A Basilisk King should have more pride than to attack a wounded enemy… but what pride did it have left, anyway? Wouldn't it be better to slay the monster here? So long as it ate this monster, it would grow stronger… who needed pride if you had strength?

A hiss filled the air as its head snapped downward.

Sylas' eyes snapped open.

The Basilisk King reeled, throwing itself to the side and bashing its nose against the ground. It didn't even seem to realize as it slithered up into a curled lump, hiding its head deep within. Its body quivered, loose scales and blood dripping down to the ground.

Sylas sat up, grabbing at his chest. His heart was beating particularly fast, and his breathing was hurried. He could truly feel the scent of death around him, and he almost couldn't believe that he had gotten the chance to open his eyes again.

And then came the splitting headache. It rolled in his skull like a continuous drum, and the pain was more piercing than even the first time.
