Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: 5000

The three blows attacked him from three sides at once. Sylas felt a hint of danger, making his hair stand on end. At the end of the day, Kargan was still a Level 17, and unlike Licirius, who hadn't used Skills for one reason or another, this hobgoblin wouldn't make such a mistake.

It wasn't just that either. Sylas wasn't the only one who could make use of treasures to bolster his skills. With the boosts Kargan was getting from his armor and scimitar, his stats might have read in the high 2008, but they were likely closer to 400 or so.

For Sylas, who didn't have a single 200 Physical stat, he could easily be overwhelmed if he was careless.

<Arctic Howl>.

Sylas roared, and a frosty sphere-shaped net of blue runes echoed from him.

DING. DING. DING.

He immediately countered with a Basic Aetherflow-infused fist. It collided right with Kargan's chest, forcing him to cough and take two steps back.

'This leather armor is strong.'

Though Sylas thought this, he wasn't slow in his reaction time. The moment his skill landed, he took a breath and activated a little-known skill for the first time.

[Arctic King's Domain (FFF-) (Skill)]

[Special Damage: 40/second]

[Special Buff: +60% to all Ice-Poison Skills used]

After studying the Arctic Emperor Cobra's Ice-Poison sack, he had already improved <Arctic Howl> and <Chilling Scythe> to Gold Mastery. As for <Arctic King's Domain>, he had already improved it to Silver.

The moment the hobgoblins Kargan called over started to get into range, they found a blue Domain rapidly expanding toward them.

The soil beneath them became an icy blue, the crackling of ice echoing.

Sylas' Aether continued to plummet as the Domain expanded, and he only stopped it after he had rushed it all the way to a ten-meter diameter. It took him an entire 10 Units of Aether to accomplish this, and it would take another Unit of Aether to keep it going for one minute. But for 40 Damage a second, Kargan's subordinates would be hard-pressed to survive five seconds, and Kargan himself would find it difficult to survive even twice that.

However, the benefit of <Arctic King's Domain> didn't end there. Even while it was active, it made the Aether of his enemies run slower and their bodies turn stiff, something that Sylas himself had experienced. And on top of that...

His Ice-Poison Skills also increased by another +60% beneath its might. This was the power of an FFF- Skill.

[Chilling Scythe (F+) (Skill)]

[Damage: 140]

[Special Damage: 40/sec for 5 seconds]
