Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1058

Sylas opened his eyes once again from his last session, feeling completely drained.

He dragged himself out and passed out again at some unknown point, only to wake up in bed once more.

After he finished eating like it was his last meal, he finally calmed himself—and the grumbling in his stomach—enough to think straight again.

[Stand in the skies and draw it into your command; increase the power of your Glassvolt Aether beyond the realms of what your body can handle… but its power will be dependent on your understanding of the world you stand in.]

[Glassvolt Prism Arts (FFF+) (Gene Class Form)] (Progenitor Mastery)

[Freely form and control your Path of Glassvolt Mancy with Prism Arts. Shields, weapons, projectiles of any sort—they are all within your purview, only limited by the skill of your Prism Arts… But your intent also shapes them into what your Will desires, suppressing those it comes into contact with and shattering what it may come across.]

[Glassvolt Shift (FFF+) (Gene Class Form)] (Progenitor Mastery)

[Freely shift your body from Glass to Will Lightning and back. Use it as a means of attack and defense—or assault and retreat. Absorb Glass or Lightning to heal yourself or power your next strike. Synergizes well with [Glassvolt] Comprehension.]

Sylas’ current list of Skills was so long that he didn’t bother to allow the status screen to display them all. This wasn’t just because of the ones he had accumulated over time, but also because of how many he had traded for.

Right now, Sylas’ list of Skills was exceptionally long because he had taken advantage of the Golden Grove to exchange for more close-combat Skills.

He thought about exchanging for a large number of Gene Skills as well, but—as the name Gene Skill denoted—they often required being tied to special Classes or Unique Genes to trigger properly.

As for Gene Talents, it would be a waste. What he wanted wasn’t something that directed his movement, but instead something that he could study to help improve his own movement.

That said… Sylas had a feeling that in the future, there would be a path here for him. The evolution of [Madness Control] seemed to be tending toward giving him a great deal of flexibility when it came to adapting to new stimuli.

Maybe in the future—especially once he began honing his unique Path of Rune Mastery—he would be able to start integrating Gene Skill close-combat methods into his arsenal.

But right now, even trading for all of these Skills was putting quite a lot on his plate…

Especially when he had all these new Gene Class changes to account for.

Growth Skills… these were the first he had seen of them, but they weren’t necessarily stronger than Skills or Gene Skills. Instead, they were demarcated as Skills that could either grow in the midst of battle or grow with you over time.

The strongest Growth Skills had permanent increases over the course of their life. However, whether it was [Primal Fury] or [Glassvolt Throne], both were very obviously acute in nature.

Even so… Sylas got the feeling that their existence would have an enormous impact on his strength—especially the Glassvolt Skills that had already reached Progenitor Mastery due to his self-creation of his own personal Poison Rune.
