Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 558

Chapter 558: LUBDUB

The ground beneath Sylas exploded. Cobbled stone flew out in all directions.

Sylas protected his head with his forearms but couldn't help but grunt as he felt his bones and flesh strain beneath the impact. Luckily, his Aether skin alone now had 1000 Defense. But under the continuous pelting, he was draining his energy fast.

Luckily, this didn't last for long.

Unluckily, the danger wouldn't end here.

Vines wiggled up from the ground, and the sound of a large, beating heart echoed in Sylas'

ears.

LUBDUB. LUBDUB. LUBDUB.

The vines converged, and through his forearms and the cloud of dirt, Sylas watched as they formed a large humanoid figure of thorny vines.

The head snapped into place, and a twin pair of wood-shaped rose petals bloomed to form two eyes.

It was a creature that was oddly beautiful and disconcerting at the same time. It felt both uncomfortable to look at and almost as though you didn't want to look away at all.

A Chewbacca-like, resonating call came from its throat as it slammed down a palm.

Its hand expanded with wiggling wooden vines, thick smoky poison descending from it.

The dome of poison was repelled the moment it even thought to get close to Sylas. However, the palm was too fast.

'Not good.'

<Cryobane Elevation>. <Madness Control>.

Sylas activated both at once, his body shuddering and veins pulsing through his body. His skin reddened and smoke practically billowed out from his orifices.

[Cryobane Elevation (F-) (Gene Skill)] (Quasi Legendary Mastery)

[<20> Units of Aether a minute per use in exchange for a <220%> increase to Speed and Dexterity Stat Limit]

The changes to Cryobane Elevation were shocking, and Sylas immediately knew what the problem was and why his body was overheating like this.

The Skill used poison to push his body into a berserk state, pushing it past what it could handle. Then it used ice to forcefully cool it down and keep him level.

However, his poison control had suddenly shot through the roof, but his ice control had remained stagnant.

Suddenly, he was able to push his body much further than he had the ice to cool down, causing his body to overheat and billow with smoke like this.

Unfortunately, not only did he not have the time to fix this imbalance, but he had no choice but to rely on it.

This creature was too powerful.

Suddenly it all made sense... why this creature had suddenly appeared, why the Dynamic Field Dungeon suddenly wasn't afraid of his Will anymore, and why this damned thing was so

pissed.
