Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1183

Chapter 1183: The True Scorned Wraps (2)

"Ignore the system?" Sylas’ gaze narrowed, his arm lifting up. A brace on his arm, so easily ignored and forgotten, suddenly flared up.

All at once, the familiar call of a bird filled the skies, its fiery wings of black and violet spreading across the air. It was simply a gorgeous creature—a peacock of the dark.

Ever since Sylas learned to fly on his own, the Violet Rose Peacock had become useless to him, especially since...

It was still Level 1. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Not only was its affinity no longer nearly as compatible with Sylas’ as it had been originally, it was far too weak, and he hadn’t been able to level it up nearly as easily as he thought he would be able to in the past.

Though Sylas had now gained the ability to give his beasts Overlord status, the Violet Rose Peacock couldn’t benefit from this. It was tied into the system in an odd way, and thus it couldn’t be just given Overlord status. Sylas wasn’t even sure if it had the same layers in its body at all.

And even if it could—well... Sylas wasn’t sure if he wanted to waste the time. If he really wanted to fly, he had Gogo. And Gogo wasn’t restricted by a Combat Mount status anyway.

Plus, the Bronze Grade title that had once been such a shocking boon to Sylas just felt kind of... meh, right now.

The irony was that a Bronze Mount was something those in the Sector would fight tooth and nail over. Normal Mounts were ranked from F- to FFF+. Even a Common Mount was unheard of, let alone this.

Sylas’ views of the world were just a little too twisted right now. He didn’t even see the Violet Rose Peacock as a useful Treasure. He saw it as a science project.

"Heel," Sylas said.

The peacock descended from the skies, lowering its head. It wasn’t that large since it was still just Level 1, but standing straight, it was still more than 50% taller than Sylas alone.

However, over time, the once-unruly peacock had become very obedient. Sylas never summoned it, but it had experienced everything with him nonetheless.

It no longer had it in itself to defy Sylas. And it definitely didn’t help that Sylas’ eyes were just so much more... piercing now.

Staring into them felt like being ripped to shreds.

A Symbiote was ultimately a creature of Will. It took over the body of a target, weaving through the layers of the body and taking over its mind. It was incredibly sensitive to those with Will as powerful as Sylas, because it was exactly these sorts of people who were its worst enemy.

Sylas placed his palm on the Violet Rose Peacock’s head. It was the first time he had truly felt something on his palm in so long. He didn’t know why he kept getting caught up in these small sensations, but it took him a split moment to regain his focus, his eyes becoming sharp once again.

"Come."

This process was meant to be irreversible. The Symbiote itself was meant to be able to freely travel between hosts. But the problem was that Sylas had bound it to a Mount. Because of that, it became tied with the system and it could no longer freely leave.
