Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Dynamic

Up ahead was a nigh desolate area. The leaves of the trees seemed wilted, and the soil was cracked and dry. It looked as though all the vitality of the region was sucked away.

This wasn't normal for this region. Although it was called a dry rainforest, it still had quite a great deal of vitality to it. This was anything but normal.

And that was because there was a particular beast here that had made it its territory, and it was Sylas' target.

[Ground Boa (FFF+)]

[Level: 22]

[Physical: 792]

[Mental: 763]

[Will: 522]

This beast wasn't very powerful compared to the others that Sylas had faced. In fact, it almost felt lackluster.

It hung in the distance on a far-off tree, and it must have been at least 40 meters in length. It looped its length around the aged bark; for a moment, if one wasn't looking too closely, it almost felt like the boa and the tree were one and the same.

There were several of these creatures around. None of them were as powerful as the Woodland Spider Queen, unfortunately, so there were none he could use to gain a Bronze Class... But Sylas had another idea.

The death of the Arctic Emperor Cobra hadn't come with a penalty. Even if it did, if that penalty was less than the gains he made, it would have still been worth it.

What if he created his own enemy to accelerate the pace of his Path of the Mancer Quest?

It made sense that this region didn't have another beast as powerful as the Woodland Spider Queen. If there was, then he wouldn't have been able to get the Territory Key from it.

If the Level 30 creature he needed was here, such a Treasure would almost certainly only be under its protection.

When Sylas accepted this, he pivoted another way.

Originally, he wanted to use the overview abilities of the System City to find more Serpentes to contract. But whether any of them had as much potential as the Basilisk King, Nosphaleen, or the Bone-Tailed Lizard was highly unlikely.

He then remembered how he had been able to help the Arctic Emperor Cobra improve so quickly. If he could do that again, with the resources of an entire Territory at his disposal, what could he create this time?

The best part was that with the help of the System City, his Insight Path Talent could pick up on exactly the places he needed to go to find the resources he needed to accomplish this.

So then he just took the next logical step forward.

Elevating weak beasts was easy, but there was a reason for that. Their potential would never be as great as true pinnacle beasts. Maybe it would even become impossible to find a method to evolve them to the E-Grade and beyond.

But right now... those weak beasts were exactly what he needed. He was running out of time on his Quest and he needed a quick, sure victory.
