Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2278

Cheri's eyes widened.

Humiliation. That was the only word she could use to describe it. There wasn't anything else that it could be.

Their guild was very open with their love lives, but this was something that festered and went wild amongst the lowest rung of disciples.

Plus, it was one thing to do something like that of your own volition. To be demanded to do it by another as though you were a pair of circus clowns present for the entertainment of others… That was a different matter entirely.

Cheri looked at Sylas again. For some reason, she found herself relying on him more and more. She didn't even consciously realize she was looking at him until she observed those still as lake eyes.

Sylas didn't seem particularly angry or particularly happy. He simply looked…

Indifferent.

And then he spoke.

"It seems that… old age really isn't enough of a teacher."

Melody's eyes narrowed. No woman liked to be called old, and it came across like Sylas was entirely indifferent to her threats.

Instead, he slowly reached toward his back.

"Let what happens here today be a lesson to the world, should any of you survive, that is." Sylas said slowly.

This time, he pulled out not a calligraphy brush, but instead…

His scythe.

SHIIIIIING.

"I will spell it out just once so that it won't be forgotten again."

Sylas' scythe almost carelessly curved through the air. The echo of the blade was so sharp that a swath of disciples down below were instantly cut in two, but he didn't even acknowledge them.

"When the Grimblades arrive, you do not ask questions, you do not block and oppose, you do not stand in their way. You hold your tongue, you control your breath, you restrain your aura.

"The punishment for not doing so…

"Is death."

The aura of Sylas' Lust Seed roared through the air. His Will instantly became overwhelming, so suffocating and all encompassing it felt like what was once a single drop before was worth as much as an ocean now.

Melody grunted and felt as though all of her Aether Pathways had been constricted in the same instant of time. Her flight in the air was suddenly restrained.

Every one of them was flying with the use of telekinesis. But the moment their Wills faltered, how could they continue.

Melody hurriedly slammed out with a palm, meeting a scythe hidden in the shadows.

She shrieked as her hand was sliced clean off and she was sent flying.

Sylas didn't seem to be in a great rush.

He threw the scythe in his hand and it spiralled down through the air, following down after Melody faster than she could retreat.

Chi.
