Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Communication Nexus [Bonus]

Sylas leaned against a wall in a secluded place, his breathing heavy. The backlash of fusing with the Basilisk King was somewhat lesser now, but it still wasn't the best. That was why he ended the fight as quickly as possible, even at the cost of heavier injuries. Though, he had a feeling that was the best course of action to take no matter what.

The General was incredibly strong, too strong. Sylas even had a feeling that he had more Skills he wasn't able to get around to using because Sylas so quickly pushed him into a corner. The City Lord, by comparison, would only be stronger than that. If Sylas wanted to eventually take him down, he would need more strength than just this alone.

'If only I could get my hands on stronger freeze Skills...'

Sylas' Will and Charisma were so overwhelming when he activated Madness, but he ended up wasting much of it because his skills could be disrupted by stronger Skills. Now that he was a General, though, maybe there would be a chance to shore up that weakness. If he could, even if he was fighting against Level 50s, he felt that his Will and Charisma would have a place to do some real damage.

'That Skill that relied on Will to trigger is also a good one. If I can get a berserk skill like that, it would definitely be of great help...'

Sylas took a breath, then finished the rest of his slow walk back to his home. The place that he had bought was in a particularly poor part of the town. Ironically, he was a General now, but he lived in a stacked vessel that looked like it might topple over at any moment.

But that was the best that he could afford, for now...

As a General, he could take advantage of some accommodations in the encampment, but he felt that this place would be far better for some privacy for now. He wasn't going to take any chances.

[Guiz General Horse]

[No Genes Detected]

'Seems Combat Mounts don't have such a function? That's okay. This horse is definitely the perfect material to feed the Stele Upgrade Crystal.'

[General Aleen]

[Genes Detected]

[Bronze Gene: (4) Strength (F); (4) Constitution (F); (3) Dexterity (F); (3) Speed (F); (7) Intelligence (F); (4) Wisdom (F); (1) Charisma (F)]

[Attempt Assimilation?]

[Yes][No]

'Good...'

Sylas was actually hoping to see a Silver Gene, but he wasn't surprised that he hadn't. There should be a special leap between Bronze and Silver, much like there was one between Common and Bronze. The only unfortunate thing was that even after going through so much trouble, these Genes hardly put a dent in the number he needed.
