Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639: Sandy Dunes [Bonus]

Sylas took a step back, looking at things from a macro perspective.

'Hold on.'

His thoughts reached into the Madness Key and he pulled Szorn out. Was it a risk? Most likely. But Sylas felt that it was a worthwhile one.

"Ah, young master."

"Separate 100 Runes of the first layer into the Foundations. Eliminate all exact repeats."

Szorn blinked before hurriedly nodding.

As expected, Szorn knew the Runes like the back of his hand. Then again, they were just projections and not real drawn Runes. Szorn didn't seem to have the ability to communicate with the world like Sylas could.

Familiars could only interact with the world based on a connection with their masters, and Sylas had yet to even formally take Szorn in.

Soon, there were only about half of the 2300 Foundations remaining.

Sylas' eyes flashed as he scanned them.

"Good. Now eliminate all mirrored Foundations."

Szorn obliged and now there was just another half remaining.

"Now eliminate all translations."

This time, more than just half vanished. Instead, there was only over a hundred Foundations left. These were the truly unique Foundations. And even among these, Sylas could see several that were only slight tweaks of one another.

Mirrors and Translations were things that Sylas had learned both in middle school and just this past day. Ironically enough, they both applied to geometry.

He had touched upon the concept in the Secret Realm he visited, but it wasn't until now that it truly set in for him.

"Good. Now according to my instructions, eliminate the rest. I want all those that differ by half a Stroke gone. All those that have segment eliminations gone. All those that are combination Foundations gone."

Szorn obliged and soon there were only 51 Foundations hovering in front of Sylas.

'Yes. This... this I can do.'

If he could manage to bring these Foundations to 40%, or ideally 50% Mastery, then he was confident that he would be able to draw any one of the Runes of the first layer with speed.

And the most complicated of them... he had already mastered.

For reasons he didn't quite understand, Gralith had only demonstrated the drawing of one Foundation for him, leaving everything else up to projections and Szorn.

The one time Sylas observed Gralith, he was able to instantly push the core Foundation to 40% Mastery. It almost felt like Gralith was purposely slowing Sylas' progress down.
