Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 668

Sylas felt his vision blur for more reasons than stepping through the Portal. His gaze unconsciously narrowed as sand riding on heavy winds buffeted against his face and cheeks, making him feel as though hundreds of tiny needles were pelting against his skin.

The visibility of the region was low and goosebumps crawled over the length of his skin as the cold began to sink into his very pores.

Slowly, Sylas began to adjust the focus of his gaze to find that he was standing in the middle of maybe the most beautiful desert he had ever seen.

It felt odd to describe what was essentially a hellscape to most organisms like this, but it was hard to call it anything else when the sand dunes in the distance sparkled like hills of miniature diamonds.

When Sylas held up a palm, the silvery-blue beads of sand glided across it with a subtle touch. It felt like somewhere between a cross of snow and sand.

The Territory Key slowly vanished into motes of light around Sylas as he exhaled a breath.

Behind him, Alex and the others had buffed up their Aether skin to the greatest extent they could, but it was clear that the cold was doing its number on them.

’I don’t see anything particularly special about this location… whatever the Glass Monkey benefited from should be close, though. Unless it was a consumable item?’

All the while, Sylas was acting under the assumption that whatever the Glass Monkey benefited from was still here, but that might not necessarily be the case.

He closed his eyes and focused. In the worst case, he would go to one of the System Cities of the Territory to use their bird’s eye view. But he also knew that this wasn’t a perfect solution.

The City Stele Ability of the System Cities had many weaknesses of their own, namely that they couldn’t be used to search very far underground if at all.

In a world where this silvery-blue sand was blowing everywhere, Sylas would bet good money that quite a number of good things were buried all the time.

’Hm?’

Sylas was expecting to get lost in another long sequence of deductions, but what he didn’t expect was that he would find it immediately.

He began to clear away a larger area, but the strain on his mind was becoming substantial. Even with the support of his Quasi King status in this land, keeping up this level of Glass Elemental control over a large distance was too much of a drain. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
