Chapter 209 Mammoth

Chapter 209 Mammoth

The beast didn't even seem fully grown. It was only about two meters tall, whereas a fully grown woolly mammoth could be up to twice that height, and its overall stature was smaller as well. Even its tusks weren't as overbearing and mighty as they should have been, though they still jutted out about two feet or so. It seemed like it was just a youth.

But when Sylas saw its stats, even without using Madness to see the details, he felt his heart skip a beat.

This was exactly what he worried about. This mammoth's Strength and Physical abilities were likely off the charts. At Level 0, it had far higher potential in these categories than any human.

Even the best human athletes would have reached their cap around 30 Physical stat points or so. The only way to break that limit was to have a Gene like Grimblade's passed down to you, or to make use of a Gene Crystal.

But an animal like this would likely have a Stat Limit that was double or even triple that, in some rare cases. When they began to absorb Aether and progress, how exaggerated would their stats become?

Sylas' gaze flashed with gloominess.

Until now, he had felt that his Flow of Battle Quest was almost too easy. He had even already defeated a Level 10. But now he realized that he was actually quite lucky to run into such weak opponents at that Level.

What chance would he stand against a Level 10 from an extinct creature this powerful? 210 Physical at Level 3... wouldn't it have stats upward of 400 by the time it got to Level 10? 500 if a Class boost was factored in?

Sylas took a breath and calmed himself. As amazing as this creature was for a Level 3, it was frankly too weak against him for now. Its Speed was too slow. But its Constitution was over 300, as was its Strength. It wouldn't be easy to break those defenses.

Sylas reached out a palm and began to pour Aether into his kunai when he suddenly froze. ?'

A magical feeling flooded his mind and he felt as though he saw some sort of path being paved out before him.

However, he found something far more dangerous first. The number of beasts in the region took a sharp spike upward.

His eyes narrowed and he took out a treasure that Mark had given him before he left. It was a telescope with a rusted bronze look.

He extended it and looked into the distance. The trees couldn't obstruct his vision at all. It took some getting used to, quickly changing his targets as he inched forward. Soon, he laid eyes on exactly what he thought was ahead.

A portal. It seemed that there really was one here.

But that wasn't the main issue at all.

Both issues were here; one being the government officials, and the other being the horde of beasts. But his only job was to document what was happening and nothing else, however...

'There are several mammoth corpses over there, still untouched with their Gene Cores intact. But in order to take down such powerful creatures...'

Sylas cringed. For the first time, he had failed to scan the stats of someone else... even with Madness activated.
