Chapter 281: Detoxification



Sylas' gaze regained focus as those memories returned to him.

'An eye and a pinecone? Those are both ancient depictions of olden Egypt and their empire.

But...'

Sylas closed his eyes and his visualization seemed to thrum with life. He returned to that day in his memories as though that very same pinboard was sitting right before him.

This time, he didn't just pull the strings horizontally, but also upward as well. Because this was only a memory and not real life, he was able to force the strings to stay in place, and suddenly, the eye and the pinecone became a very recognizable shape.

It was a bit blurry, and the edges weren't very defined considering these were the pathways inside the structure and not the structure itself... But Sylas was still certain.

It was a pyramid.

'The Mountain of Giza? Was it referring to a pyramid?'

What Sylas didn't know was that during the era of the Sixth Summoning, there was a pyramid known as the Pyramid of Giza. However, with the collapse of governments as they were previously known, and with the attempt to wipe away all previous cultures and force Earth into a state of oneness and unity, such history was not passed down... at least not in such detail.

If Sylas had known this, he would have realized what these things were referring to.

Unfortunately, he had not the slightest clue.

The only reason he recognized the Udjat eye and the pinecone, which symbolized the Tree of Life, was because at least some lingering parts of this story remained. After all, Sylas did know that the United Coalition of Terranova was once the United States of America, so there were some things about the old order that he did know.

But this only made him more confused.

Why was Legacy so obsessed with it?

[How do you cure yourself of Elixir poison?]

[Elixir Toxicosis is a chronic disease that most will have to deal with their entire lives-]

When Sylas read this first part, he felt like his heart hit rock bottom. Even if he went back now, he knew that there was no other choice but to do what he had done. But was this really it for him?

In this state, he couldn't even exhibit 10% of his stats, and he couldn't even circulate his Aether without feeling as though needles were piercing into his inner organs.

Sylas shook his head and forced himself to read the rest. This was unlike him.

[—And it unfortunately has very few ways to deal with it]

[The first method is to find a Detoxification Elixir with 100% Effectiveness]

[The second is to complete an Evolution into the next Grade and evolve your Species]

[The third is to have a higher Life Form purge your impurities with their higher Grade Aether] [The fourth is to undergo a metamorphosis-]

Sylas stopped reading, his brows furrowing. How was this classified as "few" methods? However, he realized now that although there were many methods on this list, almost all of them required exceptional circumstances. Most couldn't just breakthrough before they felt like it, and considering Sylas had yet to even see an Elixir that was 60% pure, there was no way he was going to find one with 100% purity, let alone of this particular type.

Under normal circumstances... Sylas would be out of luck.

Not only did he have no chance of finding such an Elixir, but he was nowhere near Evolving, and there shouldn't be a higher Life Form on Earth unless one of those aliens had snuck in. That wasn't impossible, but why would they help him? Especially after he was pretty sure that he had killed one of their own.

But when it came to undergoing a metamorphosis... He was pretty sure he had a method.

He had completed his Class Quest six times over. He had killed five Level 10 elites, plus the Level 12 Arctic Emperor Cobra on top of that.

It seemed that it was about time he look at his rewards.
