Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 224

224 To What?

After coming to understand all of these things, Sylas had also come to understand that the reward he had been given was no simple reward.

Without such a Fusion Crystal, comprehending more than one Comprehension was impossible—as far as he knew. If you were unlucky enough to have grasped a mediocre Comprehension first, then you would truly be screwed.

Though, maybe Sylas was thinking too much. Like Cassarae had said, Comprehensions were rare to the point she hadn't run into anyone with one. Sylas had come across a few he thought might have one, but he never got the chance to confirm one way or another.

Even if he felt the way he completed this Quest was less than satisfactory, he couldn't argue with the results.

For now, he wouldn't use the Crystal. His plan was to see how much he could improve his Dormant Comprehensions first before he took action.

Plus, there was far more to gain from Azrael's body. He had mostly ignored them for the sake of getting to what he felt was most important, but nothing was holding him back now.

There were a total of six more Elixirs in Azrael's possession. Three were Aether Replenishment Elixirs and the other three were a type that Sylas had never heard of before: Focus Replenishment Elixirs.

It seemed that Focus Replenishment Elixirs were designed to help the mind recover after grueling activity. The use that Sylas immediately thought of was his Comprehension.

He often found his mind being greatly fatigued after using his Comprehension for an extended period of time, and that was even with <Maddened Enlightenment> as a support Skill. These seemed to be a shortcut. _{freewebnøvel.com}

[Focus Replenishment (F+) (Consumable)]

[A kiss of refreshing morning air. Drink this to help regain your mind's focus. For every 20 points of Wisdom, boost mental recovery by 100%]

[Aether Replenishment (F+) (Consumable)]

[A helping hand from Mother Nature's fairies. Drink this to replenish your life's energy. For every 20 points of Intelligence, recover 5 Aether Units per second. Lasts 5 seconds]

Sylas put these away and stored them for when he would really need them. Though he knew that they could be useful to him now, he was also aware that any Elixirs he took could add to the load on his body. It was ill-advised to take too many Elixirs in quick succession.

Judging by all of their descriptions, Sylas could understand why.

Each Elixir scaled with your stats. So that meant it was relying just as much on your own body as it was on whatever mysterious herbs or spices made it up. Essentially, taking an Elixir was like overdrafting on your own potential.

He wasn't sure if there were truly miraculous Elixirs out there that could give without taking first, but he was sure that he had yet to run into any of them just yet. So, he would just have to take his time and not take them for granted.

They should only be used in emergency situations.

After seeing that there was nothing interesting left in Azrael's spatial device aside from the device itself and some sets of clothing that seemed to have armor-like properties, Sylas finally turned his attention to the dead man's sword. Since he couldn't use armor anyway, there was no point in looking at the rest unless he could actually sell them.
