Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780 Either...

Sylas looked up indifferently and then watched his notification screen as the rewards were applied. After it was done, he turned and walked toward the counter, trading for the items he wanted and then leaving.

Unfortunately, this Level 30 Bazaar didn't have any more of what he needed for his Contracts, but this made sense. After all, he was trying to raise Bronze Contracts right now. The fact he had managed to find what he needed for the Bone-Tailed Lizard in the first place was its own small miracle.

In the end, he didn't even spend 10 million thanks to the discounts. Although he was sure that he could find some more useful stuff if he looked around for longer, the fact his Insight hadn't triggered on the first go-around would mean that he needed to take much more time.

And time was something that he had wasted enough of here already.

Now it was time to see if he could find the treasure he needed for the Genesis Forge. It seemed that this time… he was well and truly in luck.

Something told him that before this little excursion, he wouldn't have nearly been able to afford what he needed. But now, things just might change.

"I need an Aether Treasure that can increase the concentration of Aether in a region permanently. Where can I find one?" Sylas asked Tongue'Head.

To Sylas' surprise, it was Voxena that replied. It wasn't because he thought she wouldn't know, but because she had forcefully inserted herself into the conversation in a way he didn't think that she would ever do.

Until now, she seemed to be tiptoeing around him, trying to ingratiate herself while being respectful. But it was also clear that Sylas didn't trust her at all, that was why when he asked the most important of his questions, ones with simple, straightforward answers, he tended to ask the Skullhead instead of her.

This was… interesting.

"Sorry to intrude, young elite, but I have an answer for you that the Skullhead might not be aware of. There is a Rune Master competition soon to commence that will reward you with precisely what you need should you take first place."

Sylas' gaze shifted to her. "… And why wouldn't Tongue'Head be aware of this?"

Voxena felt the same pressure as the manager from earlier, a cold sweat running down the length of her muscular back. Luckily, the dress she wore had an open back, otherwise, she might have started to sweat through it.

She realized that Sylas hadn't been like this before. Right now, he was on another level.

Had he had a breakthrough in the Secret Realm?

She forcefully stabilized herself, hurrying to steady her heart. It seemed that unlike the manager, she at least had Flexible Will. From what Sylas could tell, it was actually firmer than that.

"This is because the Skullhead is usually in the outer-bazaar. This competition only triggered because a new Flesh Rune Master appeared recently. You should know him, young elite. His rank on the Breath Rune Master list is just one below your own."

"What do I need to know about this competition?"

"The entry fee is 10 billion Hero Points…" Voxena said slowly.

Sylas' gaze sharpened and Voxena shivered involuntarily, taking a step back and nearly stumbling into another.

It didn't take much to understand why Sylas would react like this. Voxena's hesitation earlier, matched with her eagerness to have him piss away 10 billion Hero Points right away…

Whose side was she on?

To the world, he was just a Rune Breath Master, a step beneath Rune Flesh, but Voxena was trying to get him to spend all of the Hero Points he only just earned on a competition he shouldn't have any chance of winning. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
