Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1082

"NO!"

Cenk's roar peeled through the dungeon, shaking it so severely that it seemed like it might collapse at any moment. But it was right then that the Runes activated.

Sylas had already noticed that there were D-Grade Runes that formed the dungeon. And yet, there were no D-Grades in captivity. Why was that?

At first, one might think that this was out of an abundance of caution. If it was before he had spent so much time with the UniForm Andromeda, Sylas might have dismissed that as well. In that case, he might think that the D-Grade Runes were mostly hollow and unimportant, causing him to neglect them—or at the very least, he wouldn't rely on them.

But his scope of the world had expanded considerably. He knew that the gap between E-Grade and D-Grade was enormous, a truly unfathomable chasm. The amount of effort you would need to upgrade so many of the materials in this dungeon to D-Grade was ridiculous.

If you were going to have a D-Grade existence overseeing things anyway, there was no point in also investing so much.

The point of this wasn't to say that there was definitely a D-Grade lurking around somewhere, though this was almost certainly the case. The point was to say that these D-Grade materials wouldn't be wasted on a "show."

This was all to say that… this dungeon was definitely capable of trapping a D-Grade. Not only was it capable of imprisoning one, but it would also be ready in the case of a prison break so long as the leaders in question knew what to do.

All it needed was a little bit of a nudge, just a little trigger…

Kind of like what would happen when a D-Grade lost their mind to fury.

Sylas didn't need long at all. He just wanted Cenk to lower his guard just the slightest bit and to freeze in the moment for the briefest of instances.

That… that would be enough.

Sylas ignored the string of notifications. In an instant, he had already Fused with Nosphaleen, the string of Merits and Free Experience points he had gathered barely registering to him.

Everything had gone as planned, and in the end that would only mean one thing.

Sylas' arm shook and the boy's body shattered into pieces. He hardly gave the young Sylph a look, as though his life was only worth as much as a pawn piece on a chess board to him.
