Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529: Interlocking Chains

After buying up everything he needed for his Rune Mastery path, Sylas only had a little over seven million F-Coins left. That wasn't enough to buy all of these Skill Sets.

Well, he would only need a little over a million to buy all the ones from F- to FFF+, but the real problem was the Gene Skill that would cost him more than the seven million he had all on its own.

Sylas also hadn't forgotten that trading for a Counter Gene Skill would remove the Warrant lording over his head right now. But as things were going, he wouldn't be able to afford that either.

After some thought, Sylas shook his head.

He planned on staying here for a month, and within this Woodland Territory, he would be nigh invincible. The improvement of his foundation was more important than anything else right now.

In fact, because of his senses toward his body, if a Grimblade was nearby and using the Warrant to track him down, he was actually confident in reverse tracking them.

He planned on making quite a great deal of money in the coming weeks, so even if he didn't have the funds now, that didn't mean that he wouldn't in the future.

Taking this one step at a time, he traded for <Interlocking Chains>.

[Interlocking Chains (F-) (Skill Set)]

[Your arms and legs link as solid as iron chains. A dance with your embrace means frustration, suffocation, and eventually death for your opponent]

When the Skill Set was taken into his mind, Sylas found that his mind became flooded with various forms.

'Hm... this isn't something I can practice on my own.'

Not long later, Sylas had a General of the City called in. He was a middle-aged man with a robust build, which was quite a common figure amongst the soldiers of the System City. He was known as General Ji.

"We'll be grappling," Sylas said. "No need to remove your armor; I won't be able to ask my opponents in the future to do so."

General Ji seemed confused, but obliged nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the city didn't have any grappling experts among the strong. But most opponents Sylas met wouldn't be grappling experts either.

However, what they would be was extremely strong, and General Ji met those requirements.

<Interlocking Chains> was a Skill Set, so it didn't teach a single powerful attack. Instead, it had two "death positions" and about eight transitions.

The two so-called death positions referred to an arm lock and a leg lock, both around the neck. The transitions were where the real meat of the Skill Set was. It taught how to read and react to an opponent's movements, using their weight and actions against them to pull them further and further into the trap.

"All you have to do is focus on resisting. For now, use about half your Strength and don't use a weapon."

"Understood, Warlord," General Ji nodded.

His throat felt constricted and his body shuddered. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
