Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2242

"You feel like you're wasting your time, right?" Vaelith asked with a smile.

Sylas looked at her through the cracked glass. He wasn't understanding this woman, which was quite rare for him.

She sounded flirty, but Sylas wasn't sure if she had those sorts of interests at all. In fact, she experienced like more the sort who didn't want to allow herself such distractions in the first place.

Her form of Pride was interesting. It wasn't like his own that was relentless, or like the Monkey King's that was shameless. She was accepting of her faults, but had a calm drive to her that seemed to suggest a confidence that given enough time and passion, she would eventually reach the level she wanted to reach.

Even if she took more time to reach it than others, so long as she reached her own personal goals, she would be happy.

And those personal goals had nothing to do with men.

So… why would she be so insistent on speaking so much?

Did she just want to learn from him? Was it that simple?

But this wasn't something that Sylas could teach. He simply saw the world differently than others did.

"I can stop wasting your time if you would like."

"This round is based on speed." Sylas said calmly.

Vaelith's smile deepened. "But the Illuminist Rune Goddess has quite a fondness for me. Don't you think she'll allow me to finish off my attempt first regardless?"

Sylas didn't look over at the woman, but he could feel her gaze shift toward him. This woman thought him to have taken over his own body for some reason. It seemed that no matter how gentle they seemed, experts weren't really willing to admit when they were wrong.

Even with Vaelith being so blatant, she didn't seem to mind at all.

Sylas closed his eyes.

363 days remained.

Vaelith blinked. She felt a shift within Sylas, her head tilted as she came to a conclusion.

'… He's actually angry this time.'

There was hardly a shift in Sylas' expression, but she could see his Will. That shift was subtle as well, but it was most definitely there.

He had reached the end of his patience.

The light of curiosity in Vaelith's eyes deepened. She really wanted to see just what that would mean—.

Sylas pulled out a badge.

[Legacy of Key (???) (Legendary)]

[The weight of Legacy is beyond the understanding of most. Standing beyond Will, Legacy is a power that persists beyond life, beyond space, beyond time. It stands as a testament to every accomplishment, every achievement, every thought, imprinting itself onto the world without regard for what Wills it might stamp out] [Abilities: Sense lingering attachments of Legacy in the surroundings. Defeat it and take it for your own] —

The world froze around him.

They certainly thought he had the time to waste with them. He had only given them so much leeway the first time because he was thinking and progressing. But by now, he had lost the benefits from this place.

The second test was practically a rehashing of the first test in a different form. He didn't have the patience to waste here and play games with a childlike woman.
