Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2235

Sylas had only seen the barest beginnings of the Rune's creation. No, he could barely call it that. He had seen a call of just three Strokes and then it was over.

It was like he had only basically watched the Will Priming alone, and then Vaelith had taken the victory. Let alone using brute force to gain victory, that option wasn't even presented to him.

Granted, Sylas had just decided not to use that method, but it seemed that it was naive of him to even consider it possible.

"It seems that the tower thinks very highly of you. To choose me as your challenger, and to even make the foundation of the duel the very Rune Path that I've been studying for so many years…"

Vaelith's eyes lit with curiosity as she looked at Sylas. As interested as she was before, she was even more so now, almost like she had been still looking through Sylas before, but now she actually was looking at him.

She noticed that Sylas was actually a bit handsome. It was amusing it had taken her so long to notice, but she couldn't remember the last time she cared about the actual appearance of people.

Usually she just saw in blobs of Will and only cared to pay attention enough if the Will was large enough.

While her normal two eyes were open, they might as well be blind. She stared at everything through the slit of her Skai Eye.

Even though she realized this, though, it didn't really change anything about how she saw things. She was more interested in Sylas because of the movements of the tower, not because of anything he had done himself.

If there was anything to be impressed about in regard to Sylas, it was that he seemed to have made it so far despite having such a poor foundation.

That said… she wasn't quite sure yet if that was because his background was so poor or if it was because he was lazy.

As far as she could tell, Sylas was actually quite powerful in bloodline. So, logically, his family should also be powerful. All signs pointed toward laziness, then, and no matter how handsome a man was, she wouldn't be able to see him as anything other than ugly if such a thing was true of him.

But… she could feel Sylas' Will. He was extremely arrogant, but not the sort of "tear your nose away to spite the face" sort of way. It was hard to describe, but his Pride just felt so… pure.

It was definitely annoying to the wrong person, but it was predictable, direct, and repeatable.

The answer was on the tip of Vaelith's tongue, but she couldn't seem to make the final leap as though something was stopping her from doing so.

But what remained the truth were the questions…

Sylas also happened to be from a family that she didn't recognize. Could he be from one of the other Heavens? There were a slowly increasing and troubling number of them.

But if he came from a powerful family of another Heaven, she would still recognize it for the most part.

How could she not know an A-tier Demi-God Family?

Vaelith only became more and more interested the more she thought about it.

And for that matter, for such a prideful man, Sylas didn't show a great reaction to losing either. His Will hardly fluctuated.

That said… he also didn't reply to her, something that Vaelith wasn't very used to. He was so lost in his own thoughts he wasn't paying attention to her at all.
