Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Legendary Path's Might

Minutes later, Sylas was still standing on the icy lake. However, he now had one Arctic King Bear in his right hand and an Arctic King Cobra in his left.

Blood dripped down from his fingers and drizzled into the lake, forming crystal shards of violet blood as they froze over.

Both were Level 19s... and they didn't last very long in his hands at all.

Sylas raised up the Arctic King Bear and squeezed down.

PA.

Its head shattered into a rain of blood. Though, while it looked like he had done it with pure strength, it was instead because of Winter's Edge.

In a region of such high ice Aether concentration, the Gene Talent was far stronger.

What Sylas also noticed was that it flowed much more smoothly in the past, likely because of a combination of his Dual Class Constitution and the fact he had gotten rid of Blade Aura, giving him far more space to maneuver.

Slowly, Sylas raised up the Arctic King Cobra.

The snake writhed, but its eyes were clearly pulsing with fear.

Sylas had been gone for a quarter year, and it was clear that while these beasts were more intelligent than normal, it wasn't to the point of truly being human-like.

Though, honestly, even for humans, such a time was already enough for them to forget. Sylas' Will bore down and the Arctic King Cobra had its ability to resist fall to nothing.

Sylas took a breath as a large amount of information filled his mind.

'Interesting...'

The history of the Arctic King Cobra was far shorter. It was a beast native to Earth and seemed

to have only mutated into existence thanks to this Ice-Poison pool.

But what was fascinating was how they had gotten here in the first place.

According to the Ice-Poison venom pouch introduction he had read back in the Nexus, the

Arctic King Cobras had evolved first and then migrated to cooler regions.

That made sense. After all, snakes were cold-blooded creatures; they couldn't handle the cold unless a mutation occurred first. So, Sylas had accepted this explanation without much pushback.

However, according to his One Kind For Me Legendary Path, this wasn't what happened at all. 'Someone created them on purpose. And they did it in order to protect the Dungeon down below.'

Sylas looked toward the Dungeon, his eyes narrowing.

There was only one group that could do this. Well, that wasn't exactly true. But, Sylas was still more than 90% certain, given the information he had now, that the culprits were Azrael and whoever was backing him.

In all likelihood, it was related to the System City that was nearby.

But why?

'This isn't the only oddity. How did Aurion know that I would come out with a Clypsian? How did Lauren know that Cassarae had the Luck Necklace? How did Licirius know where the Paradise Portal would appear?'
