Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2144

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

Sylas covered his face with a forearm, his body feeling like it was falling through a sheet of glass.

The cascading booms in the surroundings threatened to swallow him whole, the concussive blasts so violent he felt like a leaf in the wind. His bones creaked and fractured from their impact alone.

But then he felt Demi-God Aura flooding into him, reinforcing him and making every one of his stats worth far more.

'What?'

Sylas' gaze sharpened.

His mind was still foggy from how far he had pushed it, but he forced himself to dig deep.

He landed on the ground heavily, craters spanning out around him. But in the violence that surrounded him, this hardly made a difference at all.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood. It felt like his body weighed as much as a planet, every movement feeling like it came with an otherworldly level of effort.

'What is this?'

Sylas squinted and then looked up, only to find a bright white steed rush to the edge of the crater he fell within.

"RISE UP!" it roared.

'Wait…'

Sylas squinted. Only then did he realize that this wasn't a white steed at all. Instead, it was a centaur. No, a Unitaur, right down to the bright golden armor.

It was a beautiful creature, though maybe he should call him a man.

"I SAID STAND, BOY! This is no time—."

The Unitaur suddenly spun around and drew an arrow, his hooves gliding across air. A golden energy radiated around him as he pulled a bow taut and fired.

BOOM.

An attack fractured into a dome of energy just three meters from his extended bow. Any later and it would have landed flush.

The Unitaur spun and kicked at the air, diving down into the hole Sylas was buried within and yanking him up by the arm. He launched Sylas over his shoulder and Sylas found himself landing on the man's back, bouncing once before he was practically tied in place by a mysterious aura.

Kicking away, the Unitaur surged. With his bow raised, he ran and fired, then ran and fired, a continuous stream of energy radiating from him that Sylas actually felt was doing a pretty good job of healing him.

The feeling was mysterious because it wasn't similar to any healing energy he had ever seen before. It wasn't actually repairing a wound, but instead drilling into his individual cells, making each one of them stronger, and as a byproduct of that accelerating their healing.

Sylas' body was already quite powerful, but this energy treated him like he was a child whose foundations it wasn't satisfied with.

For whatever it was worth, the Unitaur was entirely focused on the battle and didn't make an attempt to communicate with Sylas a single time, even after the latter crossed his legs and fell into meditation.

Whatever was happening right now, Sylas knew one thing for certain. If he didn't recover more quickly, his chances of survival would plummet.
