Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383: More...

"You..."

Sylas ignored him, looking toward Brisa and Aerwyna. "There's a reason he was the first to approach me."

Those were all the words Sylas said, and it made the two of them feel a lurch in their hearts. Even Vayu looked at Sylas a bit incredulously.

However, time had run out.

The token in Sylas' hand began to vibrate and the others were forced to rush to their teams. With a flicker, a portal appeared before Sylas and he took a step inside.

...

The first thing Sylas saw was a staircase of ice. It would have been completely transparent if not for the blue Runes swimming through it.

'Frostbane.'

These were the first words Sylas thought of because it was the very name of this Dungeon. It was very likely that Frostbane was an extension, a type, or maybe an even evolved version of Ice-Poison. Or maybe that was just the name of the specific Ice-Poison Rune at work here. After all, it wasn't lost on Sylas that he had given all the Ice-Poison Runes he had come across perfunctory names.

These Runes, though, were very clearly Ice-Poison Runes. But...

'43 Foundations...'

It was far inferior to his slow and Freeze Ice-Poison Runes.

Sylas looked around, but there was no one else here. There were exactly nine steps before him, and each one was more than double his height. It seemed that the only way forward was,

well... up.

He bent his legs and leapt up. He caught the edge of the ledge, pulling himself up. The first thing he felt was that the temperature had suddenly plummeted, but he couldn't think about that for very long before a growl caught his attention.

Sylas frowned. What was he supposed to make of that?

'I see...'

It didn't take him long to figure out what the problem was, and this problem was likely also the reason he couldn't even see the Grades of the others.

Earth's current stat system was based on relativity. When they first entered the Trial, they were given stats from 1 to 10, where 10 represented the 99th percentile of physical or mental capabilities.
