Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Friendly Fire

[150 GTs Bonus]

Sylas gripped the branch beneath him with the balls of his feet. He was slowly getting used to walking everywhere barefoot, though it took him more time than he would like to admit climbing up here. It was hard climbing a tree that was so thick when the first branches were at least five meters up.

He ended up using some clothes he borrowed from Olivia and wrapping it around the trunk. Then he walked up the side of it.

Shifting the cloth up had been a bit dicey, but he managed.

'There…'

Olivia's scouting Skill was truly impressive. The gnolls had been more than a hundred meters away, a distance, in this thick forest, that might as well have been ten times that.

Even so, her information was spot on, and from high above, knowing what to look for, Sylas could just barely sense their movement. As he focused, he seemed to feel his vision sharpen and zoom in.

It was an odd feeling, and he didn't know what was causing it, but he also didn't fight against it.

That was when he saw them. Truly grotesque creatures in every sense of the word.

They had the faces of hyenas, but the rest of their bodies were mostly humanoid aside from below their knees where they had clear digitigrade feet. Their furs alternated between a sickly yellow and a faded grey, their teeth in an almost permanently bared position.

Their legs were overall quite slender while their torsos were beefier. Each one held a bone-forged ax, with torn pants and loose straps holding rocks and various other trinkets acting as their only articles of clothing.

His original plan was simple. To his side, there were two daggers embedded in the ground. These were Olivia's secondary weapons. Sylas couldn't touch them with his hands, but what he could do was use his telekinesis to lift them. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
