Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Reign

This was positive for Sylas. At the very least, he didn't have to worry about having a perfect streak of dodges. He could slip up so long as the venom didn't get into his eyes, and to be on the safer side, he should just avoid all orifices in general.",

'There's just one more thing I want to practice…'

Sylas didn't immediately rush the snake, circling the grey and black scaled creature.

Then it came. A spurt of green that moved with a swiftness that must have been at least 50 Speed.

Sylas didn't panic, reacting to 50 Speed wasn't an issue for him. His Will swelled up and his Charisma pressed it down onto the world, and at that moment, the line of venom froze in the air.

'Success.'

Sylas flicked it back at the snake. This obviously wasn't going to harm it, as it was definitely immune to its own venom. Instead, it was just to prove to himself that he could do it.

The venom moved back. Without Madness activated, his telekinesis could only display around 30 Speed, so the snake was actually able to dodge. However, Sylas followed up with a swift kick that sent it spiralling to the side.

He rushed after it before it could gather itself and grabbed a hold of its neck, squeezing down hard.

Sylas' telekinesis worked best on items that were exceptionally light. However, even light objects could be hard to control depending on their Speed. For example, Jared's arrows were far beyond his ability to control with his telekinesis.

However, as he had expected, this venom seemed to be in a sweet spot. It was fast, but it was also so light, and its weight was so spread out, that he could take control of it.

That would only benefit him. Who knew, maybe in the future, when his telekinesis increased in strength, even stopping arrows wouldn't be impossible.

A dagger flashed out from the Madness Key and severed its head.

Sylas threw the snake into a separate storage device, a new one that he had bought with his funds. The space of the Madness Key was great, but the problem was that anything with Genes that he tossed in there would be swallowed up. The good news was that aside from the Rotten Wolves, it would leave the other corpses behind. So he could at least store large amounts of food. But it was very inconvenient to lose out on certain Genes.

This sort of Intelligence Gene haul was rare and he couldn't let the Madness Key act as it pleased, especially when absorbing these Genes didn't allow him to postdate the next Curse activation.

Sylas brought out a bottle of water, another F- treasure that stored far more liquid than it seemed to. This one bottle could produce five liters of water naturally in a 24-hour period. It could store up to 20, but it had the size of a normal half liter bottle of water.

He took a long drink, then had some lunch. After he felt he was sufficiently rested, he turned his attention to the Dungeon again.

…

Sylas burst out into a sprint. His actions immediately caused a response. Several Spitting Cobras rushed out from the burrows or slithered out from the river to the side, the air suddenly becoming filled with streaks of green.
