Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Determined

Sylas' eyes narrowed. Was this related to the dash he had seen by the Arctic Emperor Cobra's name?

He hadn't been able to see the Arctic Emperor Cobra's actual stats, but he didn't need to in order to understand just how much of a monster it was.

For context, Sylas had not only suppressed it by 80%, but he, himself, had then fused with the Basilisk King on top of that. And even then, if it wasn't for the fact he had been lucky enough to learn how to counter Ice-Poison ahead of time, and also benefited from the Emperor using up all its Aether to cast a skill that covered an entire hundred-meter radius, he still wouldn't have been able to defeat it.

None of that even mentioned the fact that at the start, the Emperor Cobra had been restricted by the system, not allowing it to attack initially.

No matter how you looked at it, the Arctic Emperor Cobra was the furthest thing from a normal Level 12. Azrael was nowhere near as powerful, and he was a Level 15.

All signs pointed toward this creature being special, and this seemed to point it out to him. Without hesitation, Sylas clicked yes. This time, there didn't seem to be a list of drawbacks. Though that made him wary, he knew that taking risks like this was the only way forward.

'Bronze Beast?'

Sylas' heart skipped a beat, then he guessed something.

Could it be that there was a Grade beyond FFF+? If that was the case, did that mean that from F- to FFF+, these were all classified as Common Beasts, while only creatures above that threshold could be given the moniker of Bronze?

But it didn't even seem like the Arctic Emperor Cobra had successfully completed its evolution yet in the first place. Just how powerful was a true Bronze Grade Beast?

What Sylas didn't know was that such beasts weren't designed to even be fought alone in the first place. Across the universe, in order to hunt such existences, parties of anywhere from dozens to hundreds were the bare minimum requirement before even trying. And that was just a Bronze Beast.

In the case that it was a Silver Beast or greater... well, at that point, you would be talking about something entire cities or even worlds would need to get involved in to deal with.

But this was also precisely why Sylas was ranked on the Merit Leaderboard.

When a Bronze Beast was born, it would become a small overlord all on its own, taking up real territory and forming what was known as a Beast Domain, the equivalent of a city but for creatures.

These Beast Domains would become spawn points of powerful underlings and the creatures would begin to reproduce in larger numbers.

It could be said that if the System Cities were an underground, subtle threat that might spring on them when they least expected it, then Beast Domains could very well lead to the end of a world ahead of time.

Such creatures were already beginning to appear as seedlings now, so one could imagine how much turmoil the sudden end of the Trial might cause to the world very soon.

Right now, however, that wasn't Sylas' problem. He was busy with his new screen.
