Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2147

"Ready yourself." Ros said. "This will be volatile. We will have to directly eject you. Zaun."

"I am ready, Supreme Commander. I will not allow a single hair on his head to be harmed."

Ros looked away from the controls for the first time and gave Zaun a somber look, but Zaun's determination didn't waver. He knew it would very likely be a death mission, but he had come expressly for that reason.

He would not allow Ros to take this sacrifice upon herself.

Sylas watched all of this silently without a single word.

BANG.

The hood of the vessel suddenly flashed out. A large amount of golden energy surged around Sylas as Zaun picked him up once again.

Their chairs shuddered and then ejected in a long line of fire.

Zaun morphed back into a Unitaur mid-air, slamming his hooves into the volatile empty space as though it were solid ground.

He unleashed a roar and became a streaking golden light himself. Throwing Sylas onto his back, he charged across the skies.

Sylas, however, didn't sit this time. Instead, he stood tall on Zaun's back, his gaze scanning the region like lightning. His body was primed and ready, his mind sparking with a continuous series of connections and looping links as he took in everything.

He was seeing Runes now that he had never laid eyes on before, combinations and catalysts that simply didn't exist in his time, and when he stared into the maw of the oncoming Split Realm, he felt a gaze land on him.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

Sylas had hardly had the time to frown when artillery bombarded against Zaun's sphere of golden energy. Sylas turned toward where he had sensed the feeling, but the gaze was already gone.

Zaun coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"VILE DEMON SCOURGES!" Zaun roared, raising his bow and firing.

It looked like shooting stars streaking across the skies. They instantly travelled light years at a time, shattering everything in their wake. But Sylas could feel that this wasn't power Zaun would usually have access to, at least not so easily. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He was using the same energy he had used to amp up Sylas' cells but on a completely different level. He was basically burning away his life force with every step he took.

There was a blazing determination in the man's eyes and Sylas couldn't help but wonder just what they were fighting for. Because by now he was certain… he didn't have the whole picture.

'Demon scourges…' Sylas thought calmly, looking out into the distance.

He felt something shift within him as his Demonic Will flared up as though it suddenly wanted to be fed.

His eyes narrowed.

The closer they got to the Split Realm, the stronger the demonic influence became.

But it wasn't just because of this that his Demonic Will was reacting. It felt like there was something it was pulling him toward, but the feeling was too unfamiliar for him to understand.

PUCHI.

A spear appeared in Zaun's chest. His muscles squeezed around it, just barely stopping it from passing through with enough force to impale Sylas along with it.

Sylas' gaze shifted to the spear. It had been far too fast for him to react to. If Zaun hadn't been there, he would certainly be dead.
