Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Other Side

[225 GTs bonus]

A Legendary Gene spoke for itself. Sylas hadn't even seen a Bronze Gene yet, let alone a Legendary one.

Also, the Madness Key didn't specify what it meant by high Will either. He thought that he had high Will, but did he? Or was his Will just high compared to his fellow humans, a species the system didn't even think high of to begin with?

Olivia rushed over from the distance. Cassarae wasn't allowed to leave the limits of the village without special permissions that she had yet to unlock or earn, so Olivia, her, and the remaining two militiamen had taken up arms within the village just in case any of the wolves made it through.

"We need to deal with the corpses," Olivia said. "Leaving them around here will cause problems. I'll have to ask everyone to help to transport them away."

"I can deal with them," Sylas suddenly said.

"You can?"

"Mm," Sylas nodded, placing a hand on the wolves and taking them into the Madness Key.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw that Sylas was actually able to store all six corpses without an issue.

'Seems the size of my spatial device is an anomaly,' he noted.

He had hoped that maybe the village had one of equivalent size but couldn't use it because it was storing something important, like emergency food, maybe. Looks like he wasn't so lucky--

Sylas' brows immediately furrowed as the Madness Key suddenly glowed a faint light on his chest, something that only happened when it was absorbing Genes.

He sent his mind inside, and suddenly the size began to grow explosively again. In a single instant, it reached 20 cubic meters before coming to a stop.

The wolf corpses dissolved and vanished into nothing.

'What just…'

His head snapped up and toward a certain direction. He heard it long before he saw it.

Another group of Rotten Wolves was approaching, this time from a completely different direction. There was no way they could make it before this pack crossed into the village.

Everyone broke out into a sprint, but it was actually Cassarae who reacted first. She was still within the bounds of the village and she saw quite clearly that not everyone would make it in time.

A greatsword of exaggerated length appeared in her hands. It must have been at least a meter and a half long, not to mention at least eight inches wide at the base before tapering off at the very edge. It was longer than even a traditional longsword, and yet it had a rigidity to it that made Sylas cringe.

Just how much pressure was on her wrists?
