Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1859

Chapter 1859: Don't Die

"You're leaving already?" Elara seemed on the verge of throwing a fit.

Sylas had technically only been back for three days or so. Half the time he spent at the bottom of the ocean, and the other half he had spent battling it out in the skies with damned alien invaders.

Well, there was also a significant portion of that time he had spent in his room with Cassarae, but that only added to Elara's disgruntlement.

She was actually quite used to spending a lot of time with her brother. She and Sylas used to play brain teaser games together all the time.

Had she ever won? No. But she felt like he stopped playing to dodge the embarrassment of losing to his little sister.

They had grown up quite close despite their age gap. There had even been times where Sylas would piggyback her while he went on runs, a tradition they had even kept up while on the Grimblade Clan compound.

Now, however, they hardly spent any time together at all. He hardly even replied to the messages she sent him.

"I'm bored out of my mind. I can't just keep staying here," Elara complained.

"There's plenty to do here," Sylas replied.

"Like what?! Mom won't even let me go into the weaker Dungeons. It's a travesty!"

It sounded like she really wanted to say another word, but Isolde's glare from across the room tightened her up quite swiftly.

"When you're an adult, you can do what you want."

Elara let a miserable groan out. She was still three years away from that. And even if she did turn 18, it would probably take another 2 to 3 years after that before her mother realized she really was an adult now.

"Isn't there an intergalactic academy or something out there?"

"Maybe. But I'd never send you to one," Sylas said quite straightforwardly.

Elara put her arms up in exasperation. Of course not.

She could understand why. Sending Elara off to a place like that was just asking for her to get kidnapped and used against him. He didn't have the luxury.

Not until he was untouchable.

And by then, Elara would be enough to protect herself more than well enough.

Even just letting Cassarae go off on her own left him a bit uneasy. If not for the fact the Angels only wanted to use Cassarae for her Will, his wife could very well be dead right now.

That was a fact that Sylas had yet to properly grapple with.

There was a limit to how far he could stretch himself, and he couldn't be everywhere at once. And even if he could, while he was busy trying to make sure his own life remained intact, it was hard to expect him to be able to stretch himself thin enough to likewise protect everyone else at the same time.

It was too difficult.
