Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1546

1546 /1594

Sylas' gaze blazed when he saw these words. For him, it took no more than an instant to read them, and yet he went over them so many times that even the time dilation of his senses began to creep over into the real world, making it so that even his mother was looking at him in confusion, wondering why her son was in such a daze.

Snapping out of it after a while, Sylas could finally look at his mother again with the notification screen gone.

"I'm going to go stretch my legs out, Mother. I'll be back in a few hours."

Isolde frowned. "You just got back."

"I'll return soon," Sylas reassured. With a step, he was already gone, the living room left with his family.

Isolde looked over toward Cassarae. "Is he really alright?"

Cassarae beamed. "I don't think he's ever been more alright." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

For some reason, Isolde trusted her daughter-in-law's words far more than her own son's. It was only then that she well and truly relaxed.

"The brat didn't even greet his own father," Cedric muttered.

"Blame yourself for getting here so late," Magnus said with a laugh.

The old man-not quite so old anymore-could hardly hide the smile on his face. It was the same smile he had been wearing since Sylas took over the Grimblade family, and he was hard-pressed to believe that it would be fading away any time soon.

The oceans raged beneath Sylas' feet. He crossed hundreds of kilometers at a time, moving across the world with such speed that it was almost not inconvenient at all that he had given up his World Scepter.

Before, Sylas had had a treasure that allowed him to instantly teleport to any location on Earth. Unfortunately, he had needed to use it to save himself and make certain he came out on top during the last phase of the Summoning.

Now, he could only move across Earth the normal way. Without the twisting, winding portal locations, there was no way to use the Aether Plane to jump from continent to continent either. That was the drawback of saving Earth and setting things back to the way they should be.

However, the Sylas of now wasn't the Sylas of the past. Setting aside the fact that he was a Progenitor, his Rune Mastery and control over space alone spoke for themselves.

He felt that he could get from anywhere to any other location on Earth within 60 minutes at most just based on how accommodating Earth's Runes were to allowing him to manipulate them.

And, if he used the Hollow Wing...

Sparkling motes of silver and black filled the skies.

[Hollow Wing (Silver) (Sacred Mount)]

[Level: 51]

[Attribute: Hollow]

[+100% ALL Stats]

[Limit: 1,000,000]

[Talents]

[Hollow Burst] [Hollow Call] [Hollow Claw] [Hollow Bloom] [Hollow Beam] [Hollow Rend] [Hollow Maw][Hollow Veil] [Hollow Reversal] [Hollow Domain] -

The Hollow Wing had completely unlocked all of its abilities now-all ten of them.

It seemed that the Hollow Wing was actually classified as a Silver Grade, something that Sylas was only able to see recently. However, given the power of the Hollow Wing, and the fact it was classified as a Sacred Mount, it was clearly no normal Silver Grade.

That was only made more clear by its new slew of abilities.

[Hollow Maw] was technically a defensive technique. It formed a devouring veil that fused with the maw of the Hollow Wing. Much the same way it could cast [Hollow Beam], it could do the reverse with [Hollow Maw], shredding the integrity of attacks apart and devouring them.

[Hollow Veil] was yet another defensive method. It allowed the Hollow Wing and its rider to become incorporeal for a fraction of a moment, making them impervious to any and all attacks, whether physical or Aether-based. Though, there seemed to be an implied weakness to Will-based attacks.
