Chapter 372: Lost in a World [Bonus]



Sylas hurriedly stopped, but the bloating didn't go away. In fact, it was slowly getting worse. Thinking quickly, he began to gather up the Aether to form a thicker and thicker layer of Aether skin, but just the process of expelling the small bits of Aether he had gathered was so painful.

His pores were forcefully dilated, and there was even a bit of a poison etch being drawn across his skin. Clearly, his immunity was still there, but only in part. As such, his body was fighting back as viciously as it could beneath this new and improved Aether.

It took Sylas several minutes before he managed to reverse the situation, but that didn't change the pain his body was under. Luckily, he had noticed the issue quickly, mostly thanks to his experience with Intelligence Genes allowing him to be very sensitive to the changes in his Aether Pathways. Otherwise, he might have accidentally hit a point of no return before he even understood what had happened.

He exhaled a breath, but it was frosty and cold, carrying a hint of a blue tinge.

'My Class is limiting me...'

His Arctic Royal Class was able to allow him a natural affinity to catalyze the Aether in his surroundings into Ice-Poison, or rather, the Ice-Poison that he was innately familiar with. However, it didn't allow him to be immune to any and all Ice-Poison.Cheêck out latest novels on n/o/ve/l/bin(.)c/o/m

His affinity seemed to be limited to Common, but this wasn't an arbitrary limit. It was a limit decided by his Class, and also a reminder that his body couldn't take in more than that.

Sylas frowned. He had just made a great breakthrough, and learned to control two new forms of Ice-Poison that he believed had great potential. But if he didn't have the Aether control to back it, while it wouldn't be entirely useless in battle, it certainly wouldn't be as effective as it should be.

Taking a breath, Sylas steadied himself.

'Maybe...'

But he dismissed this thought. Although this was a "successful" absorption, he had already reached his cap of two Bronze Genes. That meant that although it felt like he had successfully absorbed this Gene, his body was soon about to reject it. The Flexible Gene Elixir thus couldn't possibly display its full strength.

That was when it hit Sylas.

'Runes?'

Indeed. Genes really didn't look a lot like Runes after he used Extricate on them. Extremely complex Runes, but Runes nonetheless.

Could his breakthrough to Rune Breath be helping?

What Sylas still didn't know was that he had already comprehended Rune Flesh and Rune Soul. The potency of the feeling Extricate gave him, as a result, was many times more.

To put this matter into perspective, the difference between Sylas now and before was akin to if the Sylas of before had managed to use Extricate on a Gold Gene!

He was able to get the same potency of experience a layman would get from a Gold Gene with a mere Bronze Gene simply by virtue of his comprehension of Runes.

And that came with benefits that were truly hard to describe... even Sylas couldn't because he
