A flash echoed from the lance and its power progressed once again.

'So I was right...'

The maze was a huge problem for Sylas. If not for the fact his spatial orientation was excellent, and he was able to ensure that he was constantly moving in one main direction, he would have long become lost.

Essentially, he was constantly calculating in his mind exactly how many meters he moved north, south, east, or west. Only this way could he pick a direction.

But ultimately, he wasn't a computer. There would eventually be small errors that stacked on top of each other. If this went on for long enough, he would be completely lost. Even counting his steps wouldn't help.

Luckily, for now, his measurements were only off a few centimeters at most. But that also meant that every few hundred meters came with meters of error.

Sylas already realized by now that he would have to find another way through this Dungeon. It would be one thing if the number of enemies was limited; then there was only so much time that it could spend leading him around by the nose.

But... the Dungeon Description had warned him of mutations. Who was to say that more enemies weren't spawning for every moment he was in here without defeating the BOSS? And what if he delayed for too long and the Dungeon ended up evolving beyond something that he could handle?

It was already on the verge of a Dungeon Break. If the influence of the Dynamic Field Dungeon was added on top of that, then there was no way of predicting what would happen to him.

As such, in this time, he had been looking for other methods to deal with this situation. The obvious answer seemed to be to plow through these walls and make a beeline for the center. But although these walls seemed to move easily, he didn't have the means of blasting a hole through them consistently.

Not only were they sturdy, but they were self-healing. The latter should have been obvious by the fact they could morph and move so easily in the first place, but any hole that he did make would end up with a twisting spiral of churning vines before it was swallowed up. If he was too slow, he would even end up trapped inside.

That was when Sylas turned to an unexpected source.

He had been feeding the lance with Genes now for the last little while, but then it hit him... Why did this even work?

Were Legendary Path Treasures living organisms?

It didn't seem so. But how could they absorb Genes? And if they could absorb Genes, then could Genes be pulled out of them?

What if he used Extricate on a Legendary Path Treasure?
