Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626: Too Late

Sylas' body seemed to freeze. The pain wasn't instant, and the arrow was so fast that it had already passed through him and collided against the ground before he could do much of

anything.

There was a pulse of a corrosive energy, and when his skin began to rot, it was only then that the pain truly set in for him.

A heart-shuddering sort of ripping pain tore into his body. As though a pair of ghostly hands had taken hold of his brain and started to parse it into pieces, he couldn't focus on anything other than that horrid pain.

Something within Sylas was on the verge of breaking when a small spark lit within him.

A small green-violet flame hidden deep within his body collided with the corrosion. The flame was so weak and fragile, and yet the moment it was provoked, it morphed, its body becoming the shape of a roaring beast.

All at once, the attack on Sylas' mind was thwarted, and all that was left behind was the searing pain.

Sylas could barely look down to see the ghastly wound in his chest. It had already begun to fester and spoil as though he was more corpse already than man.

His eyes blurred and a man appeared before him. Or rather, the man's back.

Alex's tendrils of darkness looked to have pierced into the ground in a great showing of force. But in reality, they had anchored themselves in his shadow, entering a mysterious sort of world as he was wrapped in a cascade of shadowy figures that made his figure look twice as large as it really was.

The shadowy figure, standing at the same height as the chimera, locked its arms with the beast's claws.

The two clashed in the skies, a reverberating BANG! echoing as they slammed their heads against one another.

The snake head of the chimera rose up and bit into the shadow figure's neck. Sparks flew and much of Alex's projected body cracked. But then it just as quickly reformed, reshaping itself into a tight hold around the snake's head and neck.

Sylas swayed before he regained his bearings.

He unleashed a roar with what strength he had left to muster and his Rune Mastery bloomed forth. He didn't even deal with the poison roaring through his body. Now that this part of his plan was completed, there was absolutely no need for him to hold back any longer.

Aki's smile finally froze.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The golems in the surroundings exploded one after another.

A large amount of Mature Aether rushed for Sylas.

Much like he had noticed on the battle, despite the fact these golems were manufactured goods, they still gave him a Level-up opportunity.

And now it was time to use it.

Sylas stomped on the ground a single time and a large amount of Aether shot around him.

At that moment, Aki's gaze flashed again, but his expression truly changed this time around. He failed to cancel Sylas' Skill this time.

The golems outside of the looping chain had their Aether sucked up by the Basic Barrier Chains under Sylas' control.

The golems inside the loop had their Mature Aether surge toward Sylas, who had appeared in the skies with one palm facing downward and one fist pulled back as though he was steadying his aim.

The Blackened Claw tore right through the deer head on the back of the chimera before driving into its body. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
