Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567: Peafowl [Bonus]

The moment Sylas got the idea, he couldn't shake it off. He didn't need to find some beast that was extremely strong. He just needed to find a beast that could do what he needed it to do.

A beast that could fly, one that hopefully had at least a small bit of Serpentes blood or potential in it, and one that was weaker than FFF-.

With his requirements being so low, actually finding such a creature was far easier than Sylas could have ever expected, especially with the City Stele's ability by his side.

Sylas found what he was looking for and left the city without a word, rushing off with a shocking amount of speed now that his stats were no longer suppressed.

...

Four hours later, Sylas had arrived at his destination. The sun was high in the skies, beading down with a great amount of force.

Thankfully, there was also a decent amount of shade in the region as well, making things easier to deal with.

For Sylas, temperature was rarely a problem anymore. His Ice affinity made cold temperatures useless against him, and in the heat, his Aether itself kept him cool. Right now, his focus was the creatures ahead of him.

Peacocks.

They were gorgeous creatures, with necks of vibrant blue and tails of green and gold.

Most of them were of normal size, being barely a meter or so tall. However, there were others that had mutated a great deal, reaching upward of two meters tall.

[Blue-Green Peafowl (F+)]

[Level: 11]

This was the strongest of them. A male that stood taller than even Sylas, but didn't have the impressive stats to back it up.

Most creatures in the Summoning were like this. It was just that Sylas often targeted the most powerful of them because they were the only ones that could give him a proper return on his investment in time. He couldn't remember the last time he had cared to target such a weak creature.

But now... it was the perfect time.

Sylas rushed forward and caught the male peacock by his long neck. His hand wasn't nearly large enough to wrap all the way around, but it didn't have to be.

The peacock unleashed a rain of sounds that were more akin to a cat's meows than such a large creature's howl.

This pack of peacocks wasn't a Mount pack, but it didn't matter to Sylas considering the feather could do that for him. What was most important were his base requirements.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a creature as convenient as the Bone-Tailed Lizard that hid such a lineage. However, the genes of birds were quite close to reptiles. If there was a chance in the future where Taboo Bond deepened much more considerably, maybe he would find a chance to make this peacock a Serpentes. But for now...

The screeches of the peacock's peahen mates filled the air as they charged for Sylas in an attempt to protect their husband. But Sylas just summoned the Basilisk King and the Bone- Tailed Lizard, giving them the chance to finally fight an easy battle.

Their stats were more than enough to overwhelm this pack of peafowls.
