Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Let's See

Sylas exited into the dense steel jungle of York City, but just as quickly left. This time, he didn't need to deal with a storm, and since he still had the boat he had taken from the cottage, it was smooth sailing on his way out.

Soon, he had his sights on the portal back to the icy lands of the Arctic Tundra. And as the chilly winds hit him, so too did his gaze become just as cold.

He seemed to be quite obedient, already returning the moment he got Lucius' message. But he had his own reasons.

It was a simple matter for him to delay this return for another week or two. But there were several reasons he didn't.

The first was because of the Africor Continent Portal. The second was because of his family, he had truly been away for too long. And the third reason...

Sylas stepped into the snowy plains, the wind buffeting him from all sides. It felt colder than he remembered, which was odd... especially since his stats were far stronger now.

However, that didn't stop him from feeling quite relaxed. After all, he had a great affinity for this chilliness now.

Sylas brought out the Mancer's Wand.

[Mancer's Wand (Silver) (Treasure)]

[The Paths of the Mancer are long and complex. There is no one Path that is superior to another, but the distance one can travel depends greatly on your strength of heart. The Mancer's Wand allows you to feel and sense your Path of the Mancer, how to progress it, and how to improve it. How far you can see down this road will be decided by your own personal insight]

This was his third reason. He needed to be in a region that matched his affinity in order to see the effects of the wand, so returning was only natural... but how long he would stay here was another matter entirely.

If it suited him, he wouldn't mind spending several days in the depths of this cold.

Sylas sensed the changes to the Mancer Wand silently, trying to see what it wanted to tell him. He wasn't completely certain that it would give him what he needed, the description of this treasure was more vague than any other he had ever seen.

However, soon, he began to feel something odd.

'Hm...?' Sylas paused. 'Follow.'

He began to allow the wand to move on its own, and he quickly followed after it. He ended up summoning his Blue Cyclone Horse, but it was clearly much slower in the snow than normal. Still, it was faster than walking himself.

What Sylas didn't expect was that it would take him half a day to reach his destination. He was forced to take two breaths in between, not just for his Mount's stamina, but that of his own as well. Keeping the Mancer Wand activated took a great deal of Aether.

The good news was that he had not only reached his destination, but he felt that <Maddened Enlightenment> was on the verge of Silvery Mastery. That would be another huge boost to
