Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251: Bored [Bonus]

Megean tried to stand, but her hooves sank into the blood-moistened battlefield in an odd way and caused her to collapse to the ground again.

With a grunt, she tried again, her legs wobbling about before she finally managed to stabilize herself.

She didn’t even really have a goal in mind; she was just trying to survive. The Golden Battlefield was the only place she could come to that had a somewhat level playing field, but there were just too many enemies, and there was no chance to rest.

She didn’t even quite know what it would mean to reach the end of this place, or if there was an end at all.

The Golden Battlefield was a place that randomly teleported you in. Once you were, you’d be continuously forced to face off against echoes of the past as you walked through. You would then do so until you found an exit, or you died and became one of the echoes yourself.

There were no rules, no timer, no dividing lines where you would be in battle and cross it to rest.

Nothing of the sort at all.

It was like a real battlefield, filled with chaos and nothing but hardship and one strained struggle of life and death after another.

There was a flash by Megean’s side and she quickly tilted her head to one side.

CLANG.

A pair of swords crossed and her heart shook on the inside. These were some of the worst echoes to run into.

This was a battlefield. Coming across an echo that just flashed one threat into existence was too rare. More often than not, there would be a battle of two or even more.

The good news was that sometimes you could team up with one of the echoes to kill the other first.

But if you were unlucky...

The ghostly figures of the two echoes took shape into the real world, and just like that, they both turned to face Megean at the same time.

They carried rusted, bloodied greatswords, both of them in the ghastly form of skeletons with bits of rotting flesh hanging off of them.

All of a sudden, they lunged at Megean and she was forced into a retreat, pulling her bowstring back with fingers that had long turned raw from the continuous, repeated strain.

In her mind, she could only hope that she didn’t run into another echo from the past as she retreated like last time. That had almost killed her more than once, and she didn’t have much left to give...

It was then the world shook and Megean’s heart skipped a beat, tears flooding her eyes.

It wasn’t an echo—it was worse.

It was the exact thing she had been dreading all along.

While these echoes were dangerous, the greatest threat they posed was in their number. For Megean, who was beginning her ascent into D-Grade, they were manageable and she had been able to oppress them mostly with raw strength.

Although she had heard that there were some echoes that were on her level and even beyond, she had yet to run into any of them, so they should be far rarer.

In addition, the durability of the echoes and their methods were limited. Their greatest threat was in whittling down her stamina over long periods of time.

Though... there was no telling what would happen as she went deeper and deeper.
