Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1284

Chapter 1284: Dismiss [1200 GT Bonus]

Aurex was in a bit of a daze. Honestly, he didn’t quite understand what he was seeing.

It was an F-tier...

Aurex’s eyes narrowed and his head snapped back toward Thorak. He had overheard some of the conversation from earlier. His senses as a C-tier weren’t what most could fathom, especially as someone who followed the Beast Path.

A whirring shook the starship, and all of a sudden the smooth, egg-like silver starship had completely changed, panels lifting and shifting as one mesh of Runes after another layered on top of one another akin to spiraling magic circles.

It was as clear as day to him.

It was easy enough to understand that Herrs must have suffered at the hands of the C-tier behind Sylas, but that wasn’t enough to explain what was going on.

"Anyone who recognizes that boy, speak up now."

But like this, with a commotion that was large enough, he could bypass this annoyance.

They took aim, focusing on Aurex high in the skies.

"Is this how your Rhino Lineage operates?"

Thorak was taken aback, blinking in confusion. It was an odd sight to see such a big man be left without words. But being of taller and wider stature than Aurex was one thing. Their actual power was a completely different matter.

"Brama," Sylas said calmly.

With a glance, Sylas had already seen many of the protective formations even if he couldn’t understand them. But his Rune Mastery was at a point where even without truly understanding... he could hear the Runes... they could speak to him... he could feel their emotion, their desire to protect.

This situation was under his control, and anyone who thought differently would find out quickly what the reality was.

A grin spread across his face, his sharp canines practically radiating with glistening saliva as though he wanted nothing more than to bite Sylas’ head off.

He didn’t know much about the starship system they had, but all of the Captains were a lot like the administrators of this hub. They were paid for their services by the Sanctum.

Sylas looked up to meet the man’s gaze. "Are you an overseer of this hub? Do you have jurisdiction over crimes committed by their captains?"

Actually, that was about where the similarities ended. Herrs’ job wasn’t nearly as cushy and actually paid quite well because of the danger involved.

Aurex’s frown deepened when he heard this, and he felt the need to double-check, looking back toward Sylas only to confirm that it was a man. Unless Sylas had some proclivities he didn’t know about, this was certainly not the same person.

At that moment, the hub suddenly shook. Whirring alarms filled the place and towers rose up from the distance.

Thorak was likewise confused, realizing the same things as Aurex. Who would be so bold?

Of course, those dangers were the pirates and whatever other hidden organization decided to try their hand at stealing from the Sanctum. As such, it could be said that whoever gained the right to lead these expeditions was of decent power and strength—not to mention decently compensated.

Sylas had felt his master’s aura before. This Aurex was wholly inferior. The odds that he was a mover and shaker were next to zero.

But that left him even more confused. Who could be so bold and yet not the disciple that Thorak was waiting for?

It was rare that such a bustling region became so focused on a single thing. But whether Sylas had planned out things like this or not, they had certainly worked out like that.

"... My master’s disciple is a woman."

Steam spread out in all directions, barriers formed of mesh-like Rune systems protecting the planet from being overloaded by the weight and sudden air pressure. It was clearly a far more advanced system than what had been on Planet Vortan.

Aurex’s eyes narrowed. "... Gralith. I did not know he had accepted another disciple."

Aurex’s eyes only narrowed further. He didn’t understand if this child understood much of anything about how the Beast Warlord Sanctum worked. Let alone an in-name disciple—even a True Disciple of Gralith’s at the mere F-tier didn’t have the right to speak to him like this.

"I will give you one chance to explain what is going on here." Aurex’s tone was low, and yet it still seemed to spread out infinitely far. His words had only just left his lips, though, when Sylas’ trench coat was buffeted by the winds again, swaying them just far enough out of the way that the badge he attached to his waistline was revealed.

Though there was a lot of turnover, those that managed to kill them or make them run away would never announce it to the world because that would be the equivalent of offending the Sanctum. The pirates were smarter than that and knew how to toe the line. free we\bnove(l).com

He dismissed him the moment he saw him.
