Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Now or Never

On top of that, because the Physical limit of <Momentum Shift> was 200 Physical, but he was only using 45, the usual consumption of 0.5 Aether Units per activation lessened considerably to barely above 0.2 Aether Units. In fact, Sylas felt that he could chain movements as the effect of the skill lingered.

If one sudden change in direction wasn't enough to kill the wolf, the second certainly was.

Sylas' three kunai moved through the skies with a swift indifference for life. Every time, it was just one slash, one attack, as though he couldn't be bothered to use a second, as though the wolves weren't worthy.

They fell in waves until a roar echoed from the distance, the ground shaking as though a small earthquake had been triggered.

Sylas' gaze sharpened as he pierced through a lane in the trees, finding a dire wolf looming at almost three meters tall, dashing toward them so quickly it was almost hard to spot.

It weaved in and out of the trees, its eyes flashing with hues of red as it saw its dead companions.

[Dire Wolf (FF+)]

[Level: 2]

[Physical: 70]

[Mental: 42]

[Will: 33]

Sylas would have really liked to see the breakdown of these stats, but he was trying not to use his Madness if he could help it. Although he had managed to learn to restrain it, who was to say what detection type abilities these people had? _{freewёbnoνel.com}

'Speed and Dexterity should be its heavy emphasis.'

"This is a bit fucked!" Mark called out. "There are too many. If I block it, the others will run free!"

Despite the carnage Sylas and Bloom had unleashed, there still seemed to be endless waves of wolves. It made Sylas wonder just how many of them had just ended up rushing into the town.

'It's not just that, but Earth has no Aether… it's possible that they entered, realized that, and then returned. The portal has a great pull for them, but what's on the other side is meaningless. That should be why they're pooling around the portal like this, but most won't enter, and that should also be why the wave on the outside stabilized.'

It all clicked into place for Sylas.

"I have a binding Skill," Sylas called out. "But it will only hold for a fraction of a second. Can you kill it in a single blow, Bloom?"

Bloom blinked in surprise but nodded. A bind Skill was extremely rare, only the elite of the elites would have one.

Of course, Sylas was lying. With the gap between himself and this beast, he could hold it in place for almost 10 seconds with just one 0.5 Aether Unit cast of <Astral Bind>. But once again... they didn't need to know that.
