Chapter 255 Clearance

BANG! BANG! BANG! Sylas didn't know how long the Basilisk King spent pounding the mammoth's skull, but it was enough that its scales began to fall off and blood seeped through their gaps. Soon, it was difficult to tell whether the blood came from the mammoth or the Basilisk King. However, its efforts were soon returned with blessings.

CRACK. The Basilisk King unleashed a howl, its maw opening as wide as Sylas' head as it bit down, shattering the cracked skull. In a single gulp, it swallowed the Gene Core.

Sylas' gaze glowed. He had begun to grow a bit worried. The Basilisk King was truly hurting itself, but after the first glance back, it didn't look again. He knew that this was the Basilisk King's own personal effort, he couldn't interfere.

In the end, it had worked out. And now... Sylas' eyes narrowed. He felt a shuddering aura coming from the Basilisk King, but there also didn't seem to be much change.

There was indeed no change.

Now that Sylas thought about it, he had given the Basilisk a lot to eat since he had had him. Many of those meals included Gene Cores as well. Logically speaking, if a beast progressed like humans did, then it should have long since grown beyond Level 5. And yet, it hadn't. Clearly, that meant that it required something else to improve.

But what he questioned was whether he was correct about the reason. After all, the Basilisk King wasn't a normal creature, it was a beast from a Dungeon. It didn't come from Earth's extinct creatures either, but it was instead its own mythology. In that case, when dealing with it, it was likely that there were many things that he couldn't accurately predict.

Sylas was confused by the reward for a moment until he saw it.

Sylas' gaze sharpened when he saw the change to the Basilisk King's stats.

Could it be that the Gene Core was never the key, but it was rather a conduit to awaken this monster's pride?

No, that wasn't all.

There was something else.
