Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Internal Struggles

Sylas looked to the skies, his expression calm.

For some reason, he felt a great deal of pressure when he met Aurion's gaze, but that didn't cause him to falter. Instead, he calmly looked to the side where he found Brisa, who still seemed to be steaming from how things ended.

Not only had she lost two valuable items, but she hadn't even been able to make it to the end. However, she also didn't dare to blame Sylas for it either.

For her to lose on time was something that she still couldn't wrap her head around. Just how strong did Sylas have to be to accomplish such a thing? Had they let him win?

No, that was impossible as well. Even if they came from the same world, the chains of the system affected them all equally.

Of course, they had yet to confirm that Sylas was from Earth. As of now, they were still in the dark about exactly which of the Summoned Worlds he came from. So Brisa felt that this was actually even less likely.

After sweeping his gaze through everyone, Sylas seemed to realize something and then indifferently turned his attention to the bonfire.

His eyes narrowed when he saw the corpse of the old man, and certain things he had guessed earlier were confirmed. Inwardly, however, he felt that this was actually quite good for him.

'So the Sylphs have such internal struggles. Good.'

Weaknesses of the enemies were positives to him. If there was such a clash, he could take advantage of it.

Back when Licirius tried to recruit him, he had exposed this potential underbelly, but he had only been speculating.

Now, he was even more certain.

His Rune Soul moved and he was about to leave this place when a pressure fell from above.

It was powerful, more powerful than anything that Sylas had ever felt before.

"Hand over the Clypsian and you may go."

Aurion's voice came from above, indifferent and commanding. He carried an icy cold that matched the crystals that seemed to coat his hair.

Aurion frowned as he felt Sylas scan him. It wasn't the scan that was the problem, but rather that he felt Sylas had actually succeeded in part. Just how powerful was his Mental?

He had felt that it was beneath him to even attempt to scan Sylas, but when he acted, his pupils couldn't help but constrict. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

He only succeeded in part?

A Level o?

Aurion was floored, but by the time he recovered, Sylas' body was already vanishing. The latter hadn't even taken Aurion's threat seriously.

The only chance Aurion had of getting Sylas to do what he wanted was intimidation and preying on Sylas' ignorance. Unfortunately for him, Sylas was aware that if Aurion actually made a move, even if he managed to kill Sylas, he would die soon after under the system's wrath.

Aurion had been prepared for this and had a death guard of sorts that would act in his stead. But what he didn't expect was for Sylas to be so decisive in completely ignoring him. Then he had been stunned by Sylas' stats, or rather lack of them, and he forgot to hand out the order.
