Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Basic Scouting

[250 GTs Bonus]

Olivia was in a daze as she watched Sylas fight. That was because she had tried to scan the gnoll elite and what she had seen left her floored. How could he be so strong?

[Vorak (F+)]

The rest was cut off from her, unable to be elucidated by her special scouting Skill.

'An F+ warrior! We ran into an elite!'

This was the only thing she could think before Sylas jumped into battle. She called out to him, trying to get him to retreat, but he seemed to not have heard her at all. He had tunnel vision, and he dismantled the gnoll elite as though it was worth next to nothing before him.

When Olivia thought about how her scouting Skill didn't work on Sylas at all, she felt that it was maybe more acceptable. But even so…

It was too ridiculous.

The vast majority of creatures in the forest, including the humanoids, were F-. They had learned through their excursions that this didn't denote their stats necessarily, but rather how effective they were at using them, what Skills and Gene Talents they had to compliment them, and their overall battle skill in general.

It could be said that you could take an F- threat's stats at face value. An F threat was about 5% stronger than their stats suggested. As for an F+ threat, Olivia had no idea because she had never come across one before.

Both Lauren and Alex were at F- according to her Skill, but Morgan was at F. She, herself, was also rated at F.

But to deal with an F+ so easily…

What was Sylas at?

No, forget that. For an F+ to appear so casually, just what level was this gnoll village at? And without Sylas, what would they have done?

'No, it's not a hopeless situation. They're powerful, but they're lacking in equipment. Their bone axes aren't graded, and they have no armor. I would assume their greatest strength is their numbers. With Maya's armors, we should be fine… it's just unfortunate she can only create leather armors and not forge weapons.'

Olivia calmed herself and kept a level head as she watched the rest of the battle.

The injuries to the remaining gnolls made them easy targets. Only one of them was completely free of them, while aside from Vorak, who had just fallen, there was a second that was breathing their last after being attacked by one of their own.

That left Snarl with a broken arm and Drax with a useless leg after losing his Achilles tendon. The worst part for Snarl in particular was that Vorak had caught his ax-swinging hand, which meant that he was forced into battle with his off-hand.

She fought with her body narrow, leaving little for her enemies to target as her sword led her movements. It was clear she put caution at the forefront. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
