Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555: Another Challenge of Will [Bonus]

Sylas couldn't use Treasures, and he wasn't even sure if he could have a second Profession. His Dual Class Constitution didn't come with such an allowance, and he already had three Legendary Paths which technically counted as three separate Professions already.

Though it would help Cassarae quite a bit if he became a Blacksmith of some sort, it wouldn't add to his strength much. Well, it certainly would to some extent, but it just wasn't the most efficient use of his time, not while these Scorned Wraps were still around.

The reason he was so interested in this was because of the scorpion statue that still rested in his Madness Key.

He had been studying off and on these last few days, but he hadn't made any progress at all.

Although he had already forcefully memorized all the Runes, he didn't understand them the way he should.

By now, if he had the resources Ragnar had had, he could definitely already start inscribing the Runes onto his body. But he still hadn't figured out what those resources were, nor did he understand how Ragnar had figured them out either.

The main issue was that he didn't understand the Runes.

Rune Enlightenment should have already allowed him a vague understanding of any Rune he laid eyes on, let alone the fact his Rune Soul was three tiers above that.

But he still felt stonewalled.

Now, he had found a breakthrough in an unexpected place.

'The most complicated part of the statue is... the entire statue. Studying just one Rune isn't enough because it works on a Rune Mesh System. Every part links into another and they rely on one another. It's hard even to figure out which Runes I should inscribe first, and which ones I should leave for the future.

'And because I don't understand them, manifesting them mid-battle would take up far too much stamina, not to mention take too much time.

'There's almost certainly systematic guidance or a method that Ragnar picked up somewhere, or else it's impossible for him to have made any progress at all.

'But... if I change my approach to how I see these Runes, and start analyzing them from a growth and regression perspective...'

With a thought, the statue appeared in the middle of the maze.

Sylas' mind felt overloaded almost instantly.

The Rune Mesh was formed from almost 10,000 Foundations. That was a hundred times what was possible in the F-Grade.

He was trying to do an analysis of the Rune Mesh that allowed him to backtrack, almost like reversing the age of a plant and watching it return to a seed in the ground.

Before, he had been trying to analyze the statue like he did any other Rune, not realizing that he was missing fundamental concepts that only appeared above Rune Soul.

Normally, he wouldn't be able to do this. But he was still technically in his Woodland Territory. His abilities shouldn't work in a Dungeon, but who asked the Dynamic Field Dungeon to influence it? As a result, the Dungeon had a perpetual connection to the outside that let Sylas' Warlord influence remain.

Thanks to this, his sense of Runes was at a Quasi Rune Spark level, and his ability to sense the organic flow of the Runes was exceptional. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
