Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 950

Sylas felt a flicker come from his Luck before it happened. Then the warning hit him in one wave after another as though something had initially blocked them but then began to crumble quickly.

Was it some sort of Luck-blocking method? Sylas had no idea, and he also didn’t have time to figure out what it was because it was already coming.

A bearman standing three meters tall had appeared before him. Its muscles practically had muscles, and its head and chilling blue eyes made him feel as though the head of an Arctic Emperor Bear had been transplanted onto its shoulders.

The stats made Sylas’ pupils constrict. If he converted it, wasn’t this bearman’s Will over 33,000? That was almost double his own.

BANG!

A staff manifested in the hands of the bearman, the orb of blue on the end of it suddenly swirling with blades of ice as though an odd, omnidirectional drill of sharpness.

But worse than that, it was heavy and looming. There was no skill to it, but there didn’t need to be any.

’… Interesting…’

Sylas originally thought that the bearman he saw earlier was just a product of the Subsidiary City’s spawns, but was he wrong? Could this just be yet another loophole that Aurion was trying to take advantage of?

In that case, how was he doing it?

But more importantly than any of that…

Did it even matter?

No. Not really.

Sylas’ Will shattered the bearman’s, raising up an arm and sending a pulse of telekinesis out that stopped the swinging mage staff turned club in its tracks the moment it hit his palm.

Seamlessly combining his own individual Strength with his telekinesis made it almost look as though the bearman had carefully placed the staff in Sylas’ hand itself.

Even with just the first layer of his Scorpion Warlord Armor activated, Sylas already gained +10. With his telekinesis as a helping hand, the gap in Physical wasn’t nearly enough for the bearman to be so candidly arrogant.

Although Sylas’ 19 Will and Charisma stat points were already at the limit, and as such, Madness couldn’t raise them any higher, what it did do was make his Will far more potent. While his Will was truly at Forging, without any room to improve his stats further, Madness made it manifest as though it was already Quasi Forged instead, raising up his Will by a half step.
