Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1132

Sylas plummeted, his speed picking up at a rate much faster than gravity should have allowed. Though his eyes narrowed, there wasn't another change to his expression.

He didn't believe that this Dungeon would act so unilaterally when he hadn't done anything wrong. In addition, he hadn't noticed the other participants do anything out of order.

The only difference between him being in the bubble and out of it was the fact that all five spheres of green had been filled the instant he fell. Which meant that this change was triggered not by something being enraged, or by some action, but instead because the number of participants had been fulfilled. Which meant…

This was the trigger for the start of the Dungeon.

Sylas had only just completed his thoughts when his feet nearly crumbled out from under him. He slammed heavily into an invisible ground he couldn't pick out in the darkness, his knees wobbling. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

He managed to catch himself with his telekinesis before he fell further and injured himself more, but now he couldn't help but frown.

What was this? It didn't make any sense.

He thought he was being brought somewhere, but he was just dropped onto the ground? What was it testing just now?

Sylas looked up and found that he could see the spheres clearly, but the others were looking down, trying to find him. It was obvious that they couldn't pick him out in the darkness. There was no source of light down here other than Sylas's eyes alone, and their visualizations weren't stretching out far enough to reach him.

Danger flickered a warning in the back of Sylas' mind. He moved on instinct, shifting out of the way before he could be touched.

A swiping claw of something green flashed for a moment, but it missed by what must have easily been an entire meter. Sylas reacted so fast that it wasn't even close.

Sylas' steps came to a pause, and he raised an eyebrow.

The level cap for this Dungeon was Level 50, but it didn't seem to be particularly strong. In this sort of Versus Dungeon, if they didn't fight directly, Sylas very much doubted that there would be a threat here for him.

But that fall just now… it made him wary. There was definitely something odd about it.

That wasn't to say that he thought someone was messing with the Dungeon. As far as he knew, that wasn't possible, at least not for the powers involved right now.

Instead, that fall had almost hurt him. That was the main problem.

Sylas in the past would have easily glossed over this—it wasn't too big of a deal. There were a lot of things that could hurt him.

But the Sylas of now was very different. That fall seemed to be just at his limits, such that he could react to it in time—but had his reflexes been just the slightest bit worse, he could be lying on the ground with two broken legs right about now.

It was contradictory. How could a Dungeon be both easy, and capable of catching him off guard at the same time?
