Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2230

When Sylas' vision cleared, he found himself in the grandest library he had ever laid eyes on. Beneath his feet was a glowing path of bronze.

He tried to reach a hand out, but he found it reflecting back. This must be the warning Old Man Shah was speaking of?

It felt like he could push past if he really wanted to, but it was probably best not to.

Sylas started to walk forward, his eyes sweeping the books and the endless shelves.

He saw a lot of books to a similar ilk of what he had seen in the Weaver Guild, but there were so many more varieties of them, and just by the aura of their Wills alone, Sylas felt that they also went a lot deeper whether it was in terms of details or foresight.

However, as Sylas continued to walk, he began to wonder where exactly the challenge was. He continued to follow along the bronzed road, but there was nothing here… Until he was suddenly directed into a private reading room.

Across from him, a woman sat on a chair. She had her legs crossed and she seemed lost in the book that she was reading, so much so she didn't even notice Sylas phase through the door that should have kept her room private.

But all Sylas could see to notice were the wings on her back and the horns on her head.

Thryskai.

The room shook and the woman looked up, suddenly startled that someone had appeared in her space.

Her gaze immediately became dangerous.

"Who are you?"

Sylas didn't reply. He was busy scanning this woman, trying to understand why he was here and how much of a challenge she would be.

He could immediately feel that she was a B-tier, and that alone was probably a huge issue. But as far as he could tell, this world of Rune Masters had stripped away a lot of the meaning behind your foundational tier.

For example, Old Man Webb was an A-tier. That didn't exactly mean much, did it?

There were certain things about this world that made it so that any intention of attacking power you used had to be rooted in Rune Mastery first.

That, of course, didn't mean that Sylas was invincible. For one, he was fairly sure that Old Man Shah was stronger than just D-tier in Rune Creation. Sylas couldn't tell with 100% accuracy, but he was fairly sure that if Shah wasn't in the B-tier, then he was very, very close.

But even if he wasn't, Old Man Shah was certainly close to Spark Mastery of the S-tier. This wasn't someone Sylas could defeat in Rune Mastery.

And if Old Man Webb hadn't triggered a Rune Duel in specific, he could have probably defeated Sylas with his raw Rune Mastery abilities as well.

That was to say that the real issue wasn't her tier, but rather what her being here actually meant.

The woman looked around and her gaze sharpened as she sounded to realize something. It seemed she didn't need Sylas' explanation after all.

"You?" she scoffed. Nyssenne had never felt more insulted in her life. They sent a little D-tier without even a Creator's Robe to face off against her?

The tower had its way of doing weird things when it was testing people. It saw everyone and everything within it as part of its own cohesive organism. So if it wanted to use you for its tests, it was either you agreed or you would be kicked out.

Well, there was no chance of disagreement, really. It was more like if you didn't like it then you should leave.
