Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Begin

"Let's go," Sylas said after a long moment. However, he paused before he turned around. "Can she fight?"

Sylas pointed to Sunniva.

"She can. Though it's a bit complicated. I will need more time to make certain that she remains... loyal. It will probably be best if we avoid that for now if it isn't necessary."

Sylas nodded.

Sunniva was a powerful fighter. If they could get her on their side, it would be like two for the price of one, where the only price he had to pay was saving Nosphaleen.

The problem, of course, was that it seemed that it would be quite difficult to scale this sort of thing.

Whatever suggestion Nosphaleen had placed on Sunniva had to be constantly reinforced and nurtured. There would obviously be diminishing returns the more people there were.

When he got to this point in his thoughts, he handed Sunniva a few pills to heal herself. Then he returned her clothing to her while withholding the special blades.

After analyzing the way Sunniva's Class worked, he found that the blades were a special sort of Rune application.

The hilts of the blades were real, in part. The blades themselves and their edges were fabrications of Aether and the activation of these Runes.

With this, Sunniva had perfect control over whether the blades were active or not, and she could trick opponents into thinking she had suffered blows when she really hadn't, even to the point of fooling Sylas.

Of course, this was only a minor extension of her Class. The main power was blade control. It was even more effective than Sylas' Telekinesis in a lot of ways.

The blades had practically no weight. Durability wasn't an issue because they were all formed of Aether, and she didn't need a skill like <Momentum Shift> to forcefully change their direction either.

On top of that, the Class was clearly a combination path that allowed both this versatile attack form and a boost toward close combat.

Though, unless it was a high-grade Class, it was probably a jack-of-all-trades sort of situation.

When Sunniva was finally fully clothed, Sylas asked something unexpected.

"Tell me the truth hidden at the bottom of your heart. If you learned that your Ravenclaw family was colluding with alien Races, how would you feel?"

Sunniva blinked in surprise and seemed to struggle for a moment. Nosphaleen even felt some of that struggle as though she was about to break free. This shocked her. She didn't

understand why such a simple question would trigger such a thing.

Sylas was the first to react. He analyzed what happened instantly and spoke up again.

"Your master isn't an alien Race. She is a Clypsian, born and bred on Earth. They were a Race of people that existed before humans."

The realization hit Nosphaleen at the same time the struggle in Sunniva vanished. At the same time, Nosphaleen couldn't help but look toward Sylas like she was looking at a monster. She didn't quite understand how a person's brain could work so flexibly.

Nosphaleen understood her ability best, so she realized what the issue was.
