Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586: Restaurant [Bonus]

The feeling of sand beneath Sylas' feet was an oddly grounding one. It had been a very long time since he had the inclination to go to the beach, so he would have never thought that he would miss such a pleasing sensation.

It was as the saying goes... you didn't know what you missed until it was no longer there.

What made it more amusing was that this was as far from a beach as you could get. There was no water in sight and the sand was absolutely scalding to the touch. A normal human walking across this desert barefoot would lose all the layers of skin on their feet.

Sylas had made it pretty deep into Africor Continent territory... not that he had ever been near the edge at all. His portal had dumped him right in the middle of everything.

However, right now, he was headed toward the northern point, so he had to travel quite a distance.

After relying on the peacock for as long as he could, he had no choice but to let it rest. The Symbiote Mount was able to replenish itself by swallowing greenery and plant life. But, well...

There was none of that to be found in an endless plain of sand.

The feeling of having endless sand dunes facing you from all directions while the sun beaded down in a mighty tempest should have been despairing. But the day felt not much unlike a cool summer day to Sylas.

'There it is...'

Sylas took a chug from his water spatial device as he accelerated a bit. His feet had been buried deep within the sand before on purpose as a form of resistance training. But now he glided across the top of it as though it was practically level ground.

The best part was that the ice he used was almost instantly melted by the sun above, leaving no trace of him at all.

By the time Sylas made it to the city he had spotted in the far off, he was already wrapped in a large, tan-brown cloak and blended in with the locals perfectly.

From the information he had gathered, this particular city didn't have much security. It was still a long way away from the pyramids, and there were no portals or items of interest nearby. The only reason Sylas could use Aether a small bit was because Earth was already beginning to change.

In addition, because the Africor Continent was practically a true monarchy by now, their strict control over their citizens ironically allowed them much more leeway than the citizens of other governments received.

As such, in a minor city like this one, Sylas was actually able to enter without much effort at all...

Only to find himself face to face with something unexpected.

A Wanted Poster.

For him.

Sylas gave the photo only a glance before he continued on as though nothing at all had happened. His heart rate didn't even change.

But inside, he was annoyed.

He could guess why the Africor Continent did this, but this would make the next step of his plan far more difficult.

Cairith City, his real target, most definitely had far higher security. It was a city so close to the pyramids you could practically reach out and touch them from the window of a local restaurant.
