Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Fourth [Bonus]

Sylas composed himself for a moment before he began to speak. But rather than words coming from his mouth, the echoes of Ancient Ithkuil latched onto the Aether in the atmosphere and began to form one Rune after another.

The change was shocking even to Sylas, so much so that he suddenly stopped. It was only when he saw that Nosphaleen was in a daze that he realized he might have ruined that, and he quickly continued.

Because of Insight, Sylas' comprehension of the Mesmeryx Serpentes Race was

extraordinarily deep, so much so that he was easily the equivalent of a professor who had completed several graduate degrees in the field.

All of that knowledge, though, was locked away deep within him and there was no easy way to share it with Nosphaleen.

If he just spoke of it normally, he didn't believe that this sort of last-minute preparation would have any sort of helpfulness at all.

However, when he translated it to Ancient Ithkuil and began to speak out, it was like the entire world had changed.

Nosphaleen's blood stirred and her beautiful blue eyes became a much brighter shade, one that could match a night's sky. And then it began to gain another mass of swirling colors... delicate pinks, gorgeous purples... they all swirled around until her pupils directly slit.

Her Mesmeryx Beast Totem activated on its own, a pair of identical eyes appearing on her back. They were far weaker than Sylas' own Beast Totem, but Sylas could still clearly feel that Nosphaleen would likely render most F-Grade Serpentes useless with her presence as well.

As Nosphaleen fell into a deeper trance, Sylas began to speak faster.

He wasn't used to speaking in another language, and was relying heavily on <Madness Control> to change his cadence and inflections properly. But as he did so, he got more used to the process and the words flowed more smoothly.

As a result, the Ancient Ithkuil symbols that formed became sharper and brighter, and Sylas could feel that Nosphaleen was sinking into a further state of enlightenment.

Nosphaleen's Mesmeryx Totem, which had been at Common Mastery, suddenly leapt up, stabilizing itself at Bronze Mastery.

Sylas' eyes narrowed. He knew that Nosphaleen's Mesmeryx Totem didn't come from her Bloodline, but rather her Comprehension.

Much like everything else in this world, Comprehensions caused changes to the body directly. This was why without a special body, it was impossible to have more than one.

In this case, Nosphaleen's Comprehension had begun to subtly influence changes in her Race, which allowed her to become part Serpentes.

Sylas had thought of increasing Nosphaleen's Comprehension in the past, thinking that this might allow her to be more easily recognized as a Serpentes and thus capable of becoming one of his contracted beasts without the help of the cancer Gene...

But he had no idea how to do that, maybe because Insight was still too low a level to help him in doing that.

What he didn't expect was to suddenly run into a chance here.

Nosphaleen's Comprehension broke into Silver Mastery.

Realizing that this was an opportunity he didn't want to miss, Sylas began to focus, his words delving more deeply into the mysteries of the special Race.
