Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1391

Gralith's head slowly turned toward the Bat Lineage.

"Have you not grown tired of barking yet?"

Byahmad's gaze sharpened, a red ring appearing around his irises. There was a peeling echo of Aether that came out of him, coating everything in the surroundings, seemingly forming a sonar-like attack that was more of a threat than a true impulsive strike.

But it was enough to cause several of the weaker disciples to faint, while Sylas felt a particularly strong rattling in his mind.

CRACK.

A fissure cut across one of the lenses in Sylas' sunglasses, the chipped pieces nearly blinding him. They were small and fragmented, but… They rebounded off of his eyes with hardly any trouble at all.

Eyes were supposed to be the most vulnerable part of the body, but Sylas' current eyes just might be the strongest part of him.

Before anyone could say anything, Sylas slowly took his glasses off, the glow in his emerald eyes having faded until there was seemingly nothing at all to see.

He looked at his broken glasses, his eyes unmarred by the sudden attack.

Gralith also didn't say anything. Even in most situations he would have snapped by now, but he got a peculiar feeling from Sylas' Will at the moment.

Byahmad's eyes narrowed. The one thing he was really wary of was Sylas' eyes, so he had targeted the sunglasses on purpose. In the best case, Sylas would be blinded. But even if that didn't happen, he was hoping to learn just what that pressure was.

Sylas had used his eyes to crush the E-tiers, and it was a huge part of why he was so untouchable, and yet struggled so much to learn E-Grade Runes after the fact.

His eyes were practically a cheat code when it came to the usual Secret Realm requirements.

It had to be remembered that Sylas' eyes were capable of both Unravelling and Weaving Runes together. It was just that he had never had any guidance in using them, and his own Rune drawing speed was already ridiculous, so he had never actively incorporated his eyes into his Rune drawing process.

He bet that if he was able to figure it out, he might be able to use his eyes to improve his E-Grade Rune drawing to a substantial degree, though it had been mostly useless to him in the F-Grade. He just needed time to learn and adjust.

But when it came to the Secret Realm? His Level 100 Profession was on a level of its own.

He could see through the Matrices in a single instant, then use his eyes to force them to Weave together. This was the real reason he had crushed the Thryskai so easily.

Byahmad didn't really believe that Sylas was truly an E-tier—he wasn't that much of a fool. But as someone from a race of people with powerful eyes, he wanted to understand just where Sylas' came from and how they could be so strong as well.

He thought that the moment he destroyed Sylas' sunglasses, he could learn what those secrets were, and even if he couldn't, he would injure them to the point they would be useless in the meantime.

But he had actually failed on both accounts.

Sylas wore the sunglasses because they saved him the mental strength he would otherwise need to use to suppress his Charisma… not because he had no other choice.

Gwenu seemed about to blow her top, but just as her mother looked toward her to say something to stop her unruly daughter, it was Khan who pressed her back into her seat.

"Just wait," he whispered into her ear.
