Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1791

Chapter 1791: Saeng Kaelthar [Bonus]

Saeng stood in silence over the coffin.

His wife.

Others used the words "other half" too lightly sometimes. When he used it, he well and truly meant it.

Sylas Grimblade.

It was a name he had heard in passing before. But he seemed to pass it more and more often. In fact, it probably wouldn't have been long from now that he targeted that region of the world once again.

But what was the ultimate result?

This was the Horizon of the Kaelthar, it was where they had laid their claim and staked their flag. But they kept losing to a child who hadn't even known what this world was.

Originally, Saeng hadn't cared much. He had sat upon the throne of Patriarch for so extremely long already. It was enough time to see the ebbs and flows of generations, enough time to understand that not every loss meant a win was out of reach, and not every win made you immune from a loss.

Remaining steady-handed and even-keeled, not taking risks that were outside his tolerable range, were all things that one might be able to say was the reason the Kaelthar were among the bottom rung of the Thryskai Mortal Clans.

But it was also the reason they were never so close to losing everything either.

He could face the loss of his son, the failure to promote to Demi-God, even the extinguishment of his foothold within the Warlord Sanctums with a calm gaze.

He had already lost more than most had ever had, and he had gained more in his lifetime than others could even begin to fathom.

But right this moment... in this very second right here...

He felt rage for the first time in a very long time.

It didn't take shape on his face. It hid like a shadowy darkness in the crevices of his nostrils and the arc of his brows. It festered and foamed in the depths of his eyes, darkening his irises.

However, his third eye remained tightly sealed, closing into such a fine and perfect line it was hardly noticeable at all.

Saeng exhaled. It was a breath he had hardly been aware he was holding at all, and yet it didn't come out in a rush or a huff. Slowly and even, it filled the room with a heat that felt as though it had come from the depths of hell.

And then he walked out, his expression unreadable.

...

Sylas didn't know what his actions had brought about. He didn't target the Kaelthar on purpose, he hadn't even known for certain that someone had the Dominus Paragon Title here.

These Titles weren't just about being relatively intelligent compared to everyone else, it also had to meet a certain standard as well.

As many flaws as the best Rune Master of the Leava Clan had had, he was still a man worthy of acknowledgement by the system. It was just that that didn't mean much to Sylas and his own goals.

However, as time ticked by, and no one came to attack or press Sylas, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
