Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Warm Blood [Bonus]

Sylas' <Chilling Scythe Mutant> rushed forward, cutting through the air. And yet, it wasn't aimed at one of the apes at all. Instead, it suddenly curled, exploding on the ground beneath them and kicking up even more fog.

The Ice-Poison erupted along the ground and the number of Ice-Poison Runes in the atmosphere multiplied several times over. Sylas poured it all into his <Arctic King's Domain>, pumping both apes with a continuous series of Damage.

They both were so locked in combat and so foolish they didn't understand that the Damage was coming from an external source.

They fought valiantly, but the first ape was likewise the first to fall, veins of blue poison pulsing in its eyes as it collapsed.

The second ape's eyes snapped toward Sylas.

By this point, Sylas was standing just 20 meters away, a matter of a second or two to this beast.

It took a step toward Sylas, lunging at him.

A shadow cast over Sylas' body as he looked up and into the maw of the beast, its sharp canines protruding to take a bite out of his face.

Sylas took a single step back.

BANG!

The second ape collapsed to the ground, a swirl of ice kicking up around it and buffeting against Sylas' face. However, Sylas didn't so much as blink, his breathing being left as the only noise other than the howling wind.

He looked toward the second stair. It rose high into the skies and must have been at least ten meters in height.

That was right... this was just the first staircase... there were still eight more to go.

Sylas looked toward the Gene he had Extricated. It had already begun to dissipate in the air as he hadn't been able to pay any attention to it, and taking it into his body would have certainly put him in a daze he couldn't afford.

However, now that he could focus on it somewhat, the dissipation process stopped.

In the end, his Taboo Bond Talent had saved his life.

He racked his brains trying to understand what the hint might have meant, but in the end, he concluded only one thing: the system was just trying to inform him about the apes he was facing off against and it was up to him to find their weakness.

Some of those weaknesses were obvious. They were dumb creatures, for one. That meant that his Madness was super effective on them, but that wasn't nearly enough.

Even if he used his Madness to make them fight it out against one another, one of them would definitely survive.
