Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: B---- (1)

Sylas stepped out of a portal and back into the abandoned borough of York City.

The reason why Gregory was so infuriated could be imagined. He didn't want free and

unfettered access to the portal, but Sylas just appeared to use it, then went around him when he was blocked.

As for why Sylas was coming back out here, it was because he had a goal in mind, and that was to bring Olivia back.

Olivia was currently in Love City. It was normally about an hour's drive from York City, two hours if you were unlucky during rush hour. But that was obviously not much of a problem right now.

On foot, Sylas was pretty confident in making it in three to four hours tops. Faster if he cut down the time by angling across the highways instead of just following the path he was used to. After all, highway roads were the most efficient for cars, but wouldn't necessarily be for someone who was on foot and could scale through forests.

If he used his Blue Cyclone Horse, two hours would be all that it would take.

As for why he was going out of his way to do this, it was for several reasons.

The first and only one he needed was that Cassarae was his woman, and as such, he saw her comfort as one of his priorities. But that was still not the only reason.

The second was because Cassarae needed more support than just herself and her parents. Without someone she trusted with her life and death by her side, there would be problems.

The third reason was because Olivia's scouting ability was beyond even Sylas'. He had noticed many times that she had an exceptional Skill for it. It was just unfortunate for her that Sylas' Madness couldn't be broken past even for most with Mentals higher than his own, let alone Olivia who hadn't even been close to that.

She could be a valuable asset given the situation.

The fourth and final reason was that the sooner they brought their team together, the better. Sylas was only bringing Olivia back first because she was the easiest target. She was the closest and also would likely be the most useful in this situation. But if there was someone else from their original team, and he got a chance to bring them over, he would certainly take advantage.

...

Sylas set off on his journey.

The Blue Cloud Horse was able to race across even the ocean's waters with how light it was. It still lost about 20% of its Speed and Dexterity, but its ability to bolster Sylas' stats was so high to begin with that this hardly mattered.

Sylas realized that he would definitely have to keep an eye out for Mounts. If he could find a flying Mount, just how much easier would that make everything?

'Still, the most efficient would be having a map of Portals, where they appeared, and where they went to... If I could combine a map like that with a fast Mount, there wouldn't be anywhere on Earth I couldn't get to with an hour or two at most...'
