Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584: Preparations (1)

[Drilling Bolt (FF+)]

[Level: 30]

[Ability: Drilling Surge]

[Damage is tripled]

[Limit: 30,000 Attack]

[Durability: 30/30]

[Cost: 50,000 (F) coins]

Sylas bought 800 of these Drilling Bolts for 40 million Coins.

Although he wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the cap of 30,000 Attack, the value of tripling Attack was far too great to pass up on.

It was not only the largest boost that Sylas had ever seen, but the way it worked would mitigate one of the biggest weaknesses of his telekinesis.

Drilling Bolt generated a lot of forward, twisting momentum. Sylas' telekinesis tended to get stuck after the initial puncture because that point was the equivalent of lifting a heavy weight. His telekinesis could only exhibit about 200 pounds of force when his Gluttony Seed was activated, so if a bolt got stuck in bone and flesh, it would be severely weakened.

This bolt, though, would form a spiraling drill that could remove that worry from Sylas completely. For once, he might even be able to use these bolts to cut through several enemies at once.

Sylas was now satisfied with his attack repertoire, having used up 80 million of his over 160 million.

Was it extravagant to spend so much on what were mostly one-time use weapons?

Almost certainly.

But Sylas felt that it would work out in his favor in the long run. He had a feeling that what he would gain from this Dungeon would be unlike anything he had ever gained before. Otherwise, the power of an entire government wouldn't be moving just for the sake of its benefits.

'Now I need methods of defense and recovery...' _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Recovery was a bit tricky because Sylas was both unwilling to rely on Elixirs these days and also didn't really have a need for them.

He had experienced sickness caused by the overconsumption of Elixirs before, and if he could avoid them, that would definitely be for the best.

At the same time, he had the Greed Seed and the Transmutation Beast Skin, the latter of which was by far his best trump card in this regard.

So, Sylas decided that before he set out officially, he would create a large stockpile of Transmutated Pills for his own personal use.

There was a large number of poisonous beasts in the Woodland Territory, so that would make the pills he got from them particularly effective.

Luckily, he didn't have to set out personally to do this. He used the soldiers of the System City to hunt down a large number of beasts. They had already been gathering up a large number of beast carcasses for Sylas.

The trouble was then converting them to pills. That required either Aether stones or personally pouring Aether into the Transmutated Beast Skin.
