Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355: JUMP

"JUMP!"

Sylas' command came at that same instant, and they all leapt into the air.

Miss Collin couldn't help but close her eyes, feeling that the end had come. Had she been too naive? Maybe her husband from last night wasn't even her husband-who knew what sorts of weird abilities the people of this world had now. But why go through all this trouble just to kill her?

However, after two seconds passed, she realized there was an issue...

There was too much wind, there was no impact, and... why did it feel like she was soaring through the skies?

She, Sylas, Olivia, and her boy soared over the wall, and just as they were about to come crashing down, they were slowed considerably by a strange force.

The landing was still heavy, but it was the kind of heft one might feel after jumping down two meters, not over 20 like what they had just experienced... not to mention the fact that they had just been flying at 150 kilometers an hour.

Sylas was the first to recover. He had landed perfectly on his feet, and his body absorbed the impact with ease. Olivia was still rolling on the ground, and Miss Collin had fallen on her back like a sack of potatoes, protecting her boy. In the process, she had definitely fractured a bone or two and seemed to have rolled her ankle.

But all of this was within Sylas' calculations.

He hurried over and picked Olivia up. They were still only about 50 or so meters from the city walls, and it was likely that they could still be shot at.

As expected, the rifle rounds came quickly, but the distance was too far. Sylas wasn't at the point that he could block bullets, but this rain of rifle rounds was too sporadic. It was clear that the changes to the laws were affecting them heavily. In another month or two, no modern technology would work at all.

To deal with them, Sylas simply dodged. He and Olivia were still the main targets, and after he picked her up, they were one target. It was all too easy.

His expression never changed as he summoned his Blue Cyclone Horse, putting Olivia onto it. "Keep them from falling. I'll be right behind you."

He hurried to the side of the mother-son pair as they struggled to stand. The boy wasn't hurt in the slightest, and that was certainly its own relief.

Sylas helped them onto the back of the horse, unfortunately having to use a <King's Shield> charge from his stability bracelet.

The bullet tore right through it and into his shoulder, but it was a calculated injury. The bullet got stuck in his bone after losing much of its energy and couldn't continue through.

By the time he took this bullet, the horse had already soared off into the distance, leaving just Sylas alone.

He gave the city another glance, sweeping his eyes through the army. He didn't even seem to have much killing intent, but they all felt their hearts plunge into an ice-cold cellar. Then, dodging bullets, he shot after his steed.

From start to finish, his expression never changed a single time. Everything was within his calculations.
