Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Icy Cave

The two women and their teams only got the chance to catch a glimpse of Sylas before their expressions changed completely. This wasn't because of Sylas' appearance himself, but rather the fact that they could already feel the teleportation kick in.

This only meant one thing...

Vayu's team was dead.

And the most likely culprit was Sylas himself.

Although there was a chance that Vayu and his people had died during the stair challenge... looking at Sylas right now, none of them would dare to guarantee such a thing.

...

Sylas vanished and when he reappeared, he was in a land of ice and snow. However, there was no opponent across from him.

The system detected this as well and Sylas was transported once again. His victory had been claimed and he earned a full 1000 points.

When Sylas' vision cleared once more, he was standing before four doors. Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to choose this time.

He was last to appear, so between himself and the other two teams, Aerwyna would get to choose first, then Brisa, and only then would it be himself.

If he was lucky, in the time Aerwyna and Brisa spent fighting against one another in the team battle, he would get to recover. However, if he was unlucky...

A mere single minute later, Aerwyna and Brisa's teams appeared, their conflict having already been settled. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Sylas didn't react to this. He already expected as much.

If the two teams were equal, he could have hoped for a long, drawn-out battle. But, Aerwyna had clearly already asserted her dominance, so that made it easy for Brisa to give concessions.

The two were now vying for first and second place, and from their perspective, they couldn't allow Sylas to have any time to rest.

He was clearly a danger if he could crush Vayu's team, so they had to treat him as such. Looking down on him would only get them killed. The worse his condition, the better it would be for them.

Seeing Sylas still covered in blood and wheezing for breath, they knew they had made the right decision... especially when they felt the sharpness of his gaze. It felt to them that they were like a twin pair of green blades continuously piercing into their skin.

The two teams didn't say a word, and as expected, Aerwyna moved forward to pick her door first.

What was a slight surprise was that she didn't pick IV like one would have expected. It was the obvious choice, the door that had no opponent and would thus grant an easy win and a full slate of points in the upcoming team battle.

Instead... she chose III. Sylas' door.

Once his door was chosen, Sylas obviously didn't get a choice himself and he was immediately transported out. But, not before he gave Aerwyna a glance.

He could see through her thoughts. The more she dragged it out, the greater chance Sylas would have of reversing the situation. So... why not crush him as quickly as she could?
