Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627: Sylas Brown

Sylas gasped for breath, looking at the gross state of his arm. It was hard to tell what was his blood and what wasn't, because just the act of entering the chimera's body with an open

wound had opened him up to all sorts of infections.

The yellowed blood of the chimera began to taint his body and it was beginning to overwhelm him.

The poison of the chimera wasn't exactly like the poison Sylas was used to. It was more demon than it was anything else, and Sylas had already shown himself to struggle with poison like that a great deal, even when it came from Runes he intimately understood like the Woodland Poison, let alone ones he didn't like this one.

Right now, it seemed that accidentally Leveling up was going to be the least of his concerns. If this continued, he would die.

However...

There was an eerie calmness to his gaze as he inhaled. Rather than pushing the Aether away, this time he swallowed it all, allowing it to rush into his body.

He wasn't sure if it was the gap between the Rotten creatures he had fought before and this chimera's in Grade or if it was the difference in Level, but the sheer amount of Mature Aether this Rotten Chimera had was easily ten times more than any Sylas had ever seen before.

In fact, he was even somewhat disappointed. If Aki's real body was here... maybe this would be his best chance to deal a death blow to him.

But he knew that was mostly going to be a pipe dream. If Aki could control this chimera without even his real body being here, then it was only natural that he be able to easily resolve any attack that came from what was ostensibly just a small part of the Rotten Chimera's body.

Whenever Sylas was granted Mature Aether from a kill in this world, he could sense the Legendary Path System cleansing it. That did away with the harm of absorbing another's Aether, but it also weakened it.

This was why Sylas didn't even try to fight the Level up this time.

He had been trying to find his wall, and this was it. This fight was too difficult, and the next time, he wouldn't have a set of golems to sacrifice to bridge the gap.

He had to Level up now and consider other matters later. What good was a solid foundation if he got killed before he even managed to make use of it? _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

There was no need for reluctance. It was a useless emotion to him.

However, what Sylas didn't expect was that when he began to absorb the Aether, he would feel something else.

'I... can do that?'

Sylas had been looking for methods to help his Contracts for months. However, it almost seemed easier to increase their talent than it was to get them to Level up.

The Basilisk King was still Level 5, as was Nosphaleen. The poor Bone-Tailed Lizard was still a measly Level 0.

Sylas didn't think that he would stumble into the method of Leveling them up like this. Seeing another path, he didn't hesitate.

His body had already grown substantially more powerful. Between his new stats, his deeper comprehension of his Taboo Bond Path Talents, and his Dual Class Constitution-not to mention the increase to his Fusion Talent's Level-he felt that he could now fuse with the Arctic Emperor Cobra of the past without bursting apart at the seams.

So... why wouldn't he increase the strength of his fused creatures?

The question was... which one?

The moment he had the thought, the answer was obvious.
