Genetic Ascension Chapter 396: Useless Hint



The problem set in for Sylas instantly.

This notification wasn't helpful at all. If anything, it was just further confirming just how screwed he was.

This was the first ti he had ever seen a Quest so highly rated. The closest he had co was a Silver Quest, but even that wasn't necessarily representative of much at all.

Sylas had already co to realize that Quest difficulty was set on a scale of relativity. A Silver Quest now might only be a Common or even Fragnted Quest in the future.

It wasn't just a relativity decided by power, but also by scope as well.

For example, a Profession Quest to refine a specific Elixir might be Silver, but it was incomparable to a combat Quest of the sa level in terms of difficulty or danger. There were countless factors that might decide the Grade of a Quest.

However... a Legendary Quest, this might be a firm, unmovable standard. Although Sylas couldn't be sure, he felt his heart leap out of his chest.

His Luck was practically roaring at him to run the other direction, but... did he even have a choice in this matter? There was no eject button.

The apes were swift, too swift. Even with Sylas' current thinking speed, he hardly had ti to finish these thoughts before the one he had failed to bind had already closed the distance by more than half. Had it not sent him flying so far, it would already be barreling down on him.

That was when Sylas felt another notification trigger.

[System Reward Activated]

[Quest Hint Detected]

Sylas felt that he couldn't read and react fast enough. He had gathered more System Rewards since the system first started watching him, but they had laid dormant without any movent. He assud that they would have to trigger like they had the first ti. For example, his first System Reward allowed him to awaken three Legendary Path Professions instead of just one. Now, a second System Reward had triggered, giving him a Quest Hint.

[Quest Hint Used]

[The Clandestine Ape is a special race of beasts cloaked in mystery. They are born with the bodies of warriors and increase in strength without much effort. For so unknown reason, their Aether Pathways are barren, and their intelligence is low, making it difficult for most of them to achieve anything.

[However, generations ago, a genius left his mark in history. They know him as the Clandestine Scholar, a man of unknown origins, but well-known rit.

[Since that day-]

Sylas cursed in a rare instant, forcing himself up through a combination of flexing his legs, torso, and telekinesis all at once. He couldn't push himself up with his broken arms and could only dive to the side.

He didn't even have the ti to read this hint. On top of that, soon, the second ape was going to break free of . With a roar, he activated , forcing it to expand wider and wider under the control of his Rune Soul Realm. He poured everything he had into it, no longer having the mind to care about his stamina.

The ape had already leapt past Sylas and its forward montum was still in the complete other direction. The introduction about this race's stupidity was clearly to Sylas' advantage. It hadn't even considered that Sylas might dodge.

The creature was hit with a wave of pulsing light and it froze in place for a brief instant as Sylas continued to dash forward, splitting his mind in two, one to continue reading the seemingly useless hint, and the second to try and kill the second ape before it broke free of .

The Domain clashed with his own and the icicles swiftly appeared to his side.
