Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: I...

Aerwyna's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She couldn't fathom how an F-Grade warrior could possibly have telekinesis strong enough to rock someone off of their feet… let alone cause a result so devastating.

If not for the armor they wore, that sudden push would have completely obliterated his ribcage and minced all the organs beneath. However, while the shieldman survived relatively fine after a spurt of blood… the staff wielder he crashed into wasn't nearly so lucky.

The staff wielder had been holding their arm out. The sudden change bent their arm awkwardly and shattered several bones. But worse than that, the defense that the two shieldmen had been preparing together was disrupted. _{freēwebnovel.com}

Sylas crossed another ten meters before Aerwyna's aura suddenly blanketed a large space. He found that he couldn't use his telekinesis at a distance anymore, but he also noticed that Aerwyna's face became several shades paler as well.

That was fine, it was well within his expectations.

Ballista bolts began to appear from his Madness Key, appearing within their midst. He had stopped using these bolts in battle because his telekinesis power had already far surpassed their durability. The opponents he would need them for tended to have defenses too powerful to penetrate.

This proved to be true this time as well. But it hardly mattered. They were nothing more than a distraction.

The ballista bolts tore through the air, erupting in a rain of wooden shards every time they rebounded against an enemy. The Sylphs were forced back on impact, their Skills being disrupted and their bodies quaking beneath the impact. The air in their lungs felt as though it had been forcefully ripped out and suddenly, their blurring gazes could only see the yellow slit eyes looking back at them.

Sylas was already within five meters of them.

Aerwyna's bow vanished and she was already pulling out another weapon, but the bolts had slowed her down too and she was still a step too late.

Sylas appeared before the last standing shieldman as the second was still trying to pick himself up off of the ground.

His running gait came to a sudden stop and the balls of his feet shifted into a slide. His hips dropped and he unleashed a violent fist.

All at once, his weight increased by a measure and all his torque transferred to his black-scaled knuckles.

BANG! CRUNCH.

Sylas' fist tore through the shieldman's treasure and right into his chest, pulverizing his heart to nothingness.

He had already seen through it earlier. In order for this team to link their Skills like they did, it took more than just Aether control. Unless all of them had Rune Breath, it was simply impossible.

The only explanation, then, was that they relied on treasures to form the bridge between them. And in that case, they would be sacrificing something in exchange for that power.

Together, the defenses of the shieldmen were shocking. But alone…

They weren't even worth a single fist.

Sylas retracted his fist, his tail whipping out to the side. Tail Whip activated and it suddenly accelerated in the air.

Just as the last archer was about to block, he activated <Momentum Shift> and pulled on his Gluttony Seed hard. <Momentum Shift> had a limit of a mere 200 Physical. However, when Sylas used it in conjunction with his Gluttony Seed, although he couldn't allow the same abrupt change in momentum, he could make it a sharper change than this woman was able to react to.
