Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1787

Chapter 1787: Half an Hour

The value of something like this wasn't quite something that Sylas could put into words just yet. That wasn't because he couldn't make a guess, but instead because he still didn't see the full scope of Reaper Sealwright and what limitations it might or might not have.

He had a library of information in his mind, but unless he thought about something directly, it was hard to feel out the answer. Even when he thought about perfecting his foundation through the Death Seal in specific, there were so many ways of doing that that it almost felt like it wasn't quite real.

'Something is off.'

Sylas stood in silence for a long while.

Life and Death Seal felt almost like their scopes were too wide. In fact, unlike Vipermancy, which had very strict guidelines for what it could do and what its limits were, Reaper Sealwright did not.

In fact, if Sylas opened up the Profession status screen right now, it would be bland and uninteresting, split into two paths that summed up a total of four words... Life Seal, then Death Seal.

But, now that Sylas thought about it, the Runeweaver Profession was very similar. Sure, it had a list of things unlike Reaper Sealwright, but this list was very barebones. Then there was its new third Path-Seeing Weaver-which had no description at all.

In fact, Sylas had had to ask the Madness Key about it.

'I see. I should be treating these less like distinct abilities and exactly what I called them. Seal Legacies.'

Sylas held up a hand and a dark gold seal appeared. It rotated like a disk, and then seemed to shrink until it was about 50% larger than a normal plate.

In that state, the Runes within were so complex and dense that it looked almost like a solid disk rather than a projection formed by Sylas' Will and Profession.

It seemed that he had, indeed, gotten yet another ability that relied heavily on his Will to master. But he wasn't thinking about that right now. Instead, he was slowly nodding to himself.

'I overlooked the obvious. The description said that the Seal Legacy was a form of Rune Mastery. The Life and Death Seals aren't objects or treasures, they're a Rune Mastery Path.'

Sylas flicked his wrist and the body of Death Seal rose and then suddenly exploded like a supernova.

Standing in the middle of it all, Sylas watched the complex Mesh of Runes expand, and then expand some more, and then expand even further beyond that.

It felt endless, even stretching out of the ship and into the galaxy beyond.

This was just the F-tier Death Seal, but Sylas was certain that if he let it expand as far as it wanted to, he would be able to cover the scope of an entire city. If it had been the E-tier Death Seal, even an entire province wouldn't be safe. At the D-tier, it would be entire countries, and by the C-tier, entire planets would be swallowed by its complexity.

Of course, this wasn't a measure of how far Sylas could apply its effects. This was simply how far the Runes had to travel in order for the Seal to unfurl enough that Sylas could clearly see every Rune. Or, in other words, he had expanded every Rune until they were at a size they could be active in.

However, would Sylas of all people use it like this? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
