Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565: Choice

Sylas had originally come here with two purposes in mind.

The first was to get the last bits he needed to finish up the evolution of the Serpentes Contract he was creating to complete the Bronze leg of his Path of the Mancer Chain Quest.

The second was to hopefully find a treasure good enough to help Mancer's Blossom gain a Wood affinity that he could make use of to comprehend a Wood-Ice-Poison Rune.

However, there was a bit of a dilemma here now. Sort of.

The Violet Rose Heart itself seemed to qualify to clear his Quest, but only in part. He would still need to go and find an Ice affinity creature of Level 30 and above to finish it off.

This would be too much of a hassle, especially since his original goal was to complete this leg quickly. He was much too far away from any location he might be able to find such a beast in.

If he wasn't to find an Lv30 Ice Beast, he would have to either hope he stumbled across a portal that led him to a cold Territory or he would have to literally cross the Africor Continent, heading far north or south. It certainly didn't help that he was smack dab in the middle of the continent right now.

However, if he followed his original plan, he would be able to deal with it all right here. He already had the prepared Serpentes ready to go; he was just missing this final piece.

So the question was why was he hesitating?

The reason for that was because the quality of the Class he received was obviously dependent on just how good the target was.

All the Quest asked him to do was kill a Level 30 or above creature with the appropriate Paths of the Mancer. That was it.

However, as he had seen from his time with the Arctic King Cobras, the Classes the normal Level 10 Arctic King Cobras gave him, and the Class the Level 12 Arctic Emperor Cobra gave him were like night and day.

The Serpentes he created with his Legendary Path Talents would only be Quasi King creatures at best, and that was only if he went as far as sacrificing these invaluable pieces of True King creatures to them.

How could the Class they gave him, and the Class the Violet Rose Brush gave him, ever compare?

This was Sylas' dilemma.

Should he chase the perfect Bronze Class? Or should he just accept the Bronze Class he could have right here and now?

It only took him a moment to make a decision.

He would take the latter path, even if it meant sacrificing much of the Violet Rose Heart's valuable body.

When he made the decision, he didn't feel much of a loss.

For one, even if he chose a weaker Bronze Class now, there would be nothing holding him back from going all out in the higher Classes still waiting for him.
