The feeling was hard to describe, and if not for Sylas' new understanding of his own body in great thanks to Rune Soul, he would have had a hard time putting his finger on exactly what was going on. freёweɓnovel.com
But now, even without asking the Madness Key, he had a fairly good idea of all the benefits he was receiving, and he could only say that it was huge.
'Even the impact the unranked Grimblade Lineage Gene has on me has lessened considerably. My body feels like it's even more under my control, and if I started to train using the same methods I learned from Olivia, the results would be double with half the effort...'
Even before the Summoning, those that were genetic phenomes were everywhere.
Marathon runners all had off-the-charts aerobic fitness. The strongest men in the world had obscene bone density and muscle recovery times. The best sprinters, the highest jumpers, the strongest swimmers...
Even if some of them might be accused of taking steroids, the reality was that no amount of steroids was going to take someone with inferior genetics to the Olympics. Even how the body reacted to steroids was a deciding factor in many of these sports.
Some people could load themselves up on steroid cycles and not feel any adverse effects at all while reaping all the benefits, while someone else might be on the complete other side of the spectrum.
If Sylas had to summarize how he was feeling now, it felt like he had suddenly firmly stepped into the realms of true genetic phenomes. At least compared to his fellow humans, despite still being of an F-Grade Race, he was simply on another tier.
Out of curiosity, Sylas checked his Gene State only to realize that it had been affected as well. Thanks to his Merit Leaderboard rewards, his Gene State was Flexible right now, giving him a 65% chance of absorbing any Genes. While he still had a 65% chance and that hadn't changed, the duration of this Gene State doubled!
He had only had two days left in his Flexible Gene State, but now he very clearly had four.
This was to say that from now on, when he drank Gene State Elixirs, they would actually provide him with double the usual duration. Or in the case it had a set number of attempts like a few he had seen in the past, he would likely get double the chances to absorb a Gene.
Given the rarity of Gene State Elixirs, especially ones that could last for a significant period of time, this was huge.
The last thing that Sylas felt was a loosening of a burden.
This burden didn't come from the Grimblade Lineage, but rather, interestingly enough, from his Legendary Profession and its three Legendary Paths.
