Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2227

Sylas completely ignored Medei. He wasn't going to sit around and play house with these people, and there were certainly far better things that he could do with his time.

He had a timer hanging over his head right now. What he most wanted was to get to a place where he could learn and grow, and hopefully situate his grandfather so that he could do the same, then leave.

He wasn't going to dance to their tune just because they thought themselves great or important.

Maybe the peanut gallery would have had something to say about that as well if not for the fact that they were still processing whatever happened to Old Man Webb.

The man was still on the floor, coughing up blood, his eyes rolling to the back of his head with the strength of his heaving. It was like he was being ripped to pieces from all sides.

For someone like him his situation was certainly worse than others. He had probably swallowed so many Rune Paths that they were tearing him apart from the inside out now.

"I said wait." Medei's temper immediately flared. He wasn't used to not being able to get even a modicum of respect wherever he went. Even if D-tier Rune Creators might dismiss him in the right situation, it wasn't to the point where they would ignore his words.

Sylas wasn't putting him on any sort of pedestal of respect at all.

But this second sentence got Sylas to pause. Before Medei could take his own small victories about it, though, Sylas spoke.

"Trigger the Rune Duel or piss off. Those are your two options."

Medei froze.

"I didn't think so." Sylas said, turning away. "Next time you speak, take a measure of yourself first. I didn't expect this gathering of Rune Masters to be so utterly pathetic."

Medei still hadn't said anything even long after Sylas and his grandfather had vanished, and how could he?

Sylas had seen through him perfectly. There was simply no chance in the world that he would trigger a Rune Duel after what he just saw, not before he understood what Sylas was and which power he came from.

What he couldn't understand most was the fact that Sylas didn't have a Creator Robe on him. That had to mean that he hadn't been formally assessed by the tower yet, right? Or was he just walking around, larping for the sake of it?

What was even more troubling, though, was that Sylas was the younger of the two men. Magnus was definitely his grandfather, his aura was old enough.

But… Magnus was too weak as well.

Sylas had been shielding Magnus at the start, but after he was swallowed up by the Rune Duel barrier, Magnus could only protect his own aura and he wasn't good enough at it.

That was to say that… Medei was almost 100% certain that Magnus wasn't even a D-tier. How did that make sense?

Could it be that Magnus was so capable of hiding his aura? But if that was the case… wouldn't Magnus have to at least be an S-tier?
