Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1295

Chapter 1295: Casteel and Wenrii (2)

BANG!

Sylas vanished in a flicker of lightning, closing in on Wenrii so fast it seemed as though he had teleported there.

In these three months, it would be foolish to think that Sylas hadn’t improved even more. His speed of ascent was far greater than most could fathom.

While he had struggled with Tiere before, the Sylas of right now wouldn’t let her last to a second exchange. These two might be far stronger than their deceased junior... but so was he.

Wenrii seemed to be ready for Sylas, but he instantly parlayed [Glassvolt Shift] into [Primal Step]. For a straightforward bolt of lightning, his steps became meandering and hard to follow, drifting from side to side, almost dull in some ways, and then suddenly sharp.

A fist ripped through Wenrii’s armor, rotating Space Runes forming around Sylas’ wrist. It felt for a moment like his punch carried the weight and pull of a black hole, making Wenrii’s former suction almost look like a joke.

He slapped out a palm toward the arm swinging her neck attack, and then slashed out a claw across her chest.

Streaks of black and silver followed it as though he was less so tearing through her body and more so tearing through space itself.

Then he suddenly flickered and vanished.

A stomping hoof of silver fell from above right where Sylas had just been as Wenrii coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Casteel had successfully formed the Third Layer of his armor, and Sylas had been wrong for once. Every Layer was perfectly at the Flesh Mastery level.

It wasn’t just this, but there seemed to be a technique—.

’No, not a technique. It’s the Unique Gene.’

That was when Sylas remembered. Gralith told him not to fuse with the Unique Gene until he felt that he had gotten everything he needed out of the Armor. What he didn’t account for was the fact that the Unique Gene and the Third Layer of the Armor had a synergistic effect, making the armor probably a magnitude more powerful than it would be for others.

That was to say that if Sylas absorbed the Scorpion F-Grade Unique Gene right now, the most powerful state of his armor would increase by 10x, if not more.

The power boost his armor gave him was already well into the six figures, almost at seven by now as he continued to push his Mastery closer and closer to 100%.

At 91%, he got +650,000. At 92%... there was a +100,000 for every percent at that height. By the time he got to 100%, where there might be another massive leap, he would make the Leava Clan’s current number one on the Combat Matrix Leaderboard look completely insignificant.

But right now, he couldn’t absorb that Unique Gene. He had yet to perfect his Armor, and he had yet to unearth the secrets of the Armor either.

However, this Casteel was currently displaying a power boost close to that of his best Mastery due to this synergistic effect.

Suddenly, the battle had become several times more difficult because of his curiosity.

Sylas realized that with these synergistic effects, he had actually lost the chance to use his Runeweaver Profession completely. There was something about the Unique Gene that anchored the armor into reality. Unless he disrupted that connection first, he couldn’t force the armor to Unravel.

By the same token, if the armor was injured, it would actually reform by absorbing Aether on its own as well. It had well and truly become a part of the body with its own healing factor.

’Better than I thought.’

He pointed a finger to the skies. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
