Chapter 27: Genus

After a few more tests, Atlan was able to figure out that his D class Mage LifeSkill was a power that could entrap enemies using an inherently strong adhesion.

After activating his Mucus Spray a couple more times, he was able to familiarize himself with activating the LifeSkill.

It took him two seconds in total to use it: one second for preparation and materialization of the giant hand in his Soul System, and one second for the wind up of powers in his hands.

Even though it was slow now, he saw that with more practice, he could cut down that time to maybe less than a second.

After a few minutes, he returned. Wemby didn't forget to tease him about doing his first 'business' in the Remedium. Apparently, it was quite normal during long missions.

The whole day unfolded just like any other. Saviors summoned Pseudo Canzers, and Atlan cleaned up the kills for them.

[You have reaped the death of a simple creature: Pseudo Canzers] x 87

[You have gained 1,305 experience]

It was a slow day and not a lot of Saviors practiced their skills, which was why Atlan only got 87 reaps.

It was also unfortunate that he was unable to get another fragment to upgrade his Mucus LifeSkill.

But on the other hand, his swordplay got better, which was commended by the other Saviors who watched him kill the Pseudo Canzers for hours.

On the other hand, the consolidation period for his Mucus LifeSkill finally ended.

—Mage: (D) Mucus Spray

——— 3rd stage Student

———— (0/3000)

———— 1x F class fragment

[Available Experience: 8,766.2]

He quickly advanced it to the 4th stage,

[You have successfully advanced through the 3rd Stage Student Realm of your D class LifeSkill Mucus Spray]

[Consolidation period: 6 days : 23 hrs]

He went home and slept. He hoped that he would get better luck tomorrow and finally advance his Mucus LifeSkill to the C class, if that was even possible.

###

His day started like any other. He went over to the Training Hall Remedium and helped the other Saviors clean up their kills.

However, on his very first kill, he suddenly saw a set of words pop up in front of his eyes.

[You have reaped the death of a simple creature: Pseudo Canzers]

[You have gained 15 experience]

[You have gained 1-star Genus Pseudo Canzers]

After a long drought, he finally got another Genus! At this point, he wasn't even hoping to get another one of these.

He had killed hundreds of Pseudo Canzers over the span of a few days, yet he never got another Genus. He gave up on it thinking that it was just a one-time thing, unlike the LifeSkills.

But as it turned out, he could get another Genus!

[Atlan]

[Bloodline: Angelic Reaper of Souls]

[Genus]

—1x (1-star) Pseudo Canzer

—1x (1-star) Pseudo Canzer

—1x (3-star) Human

—1x (10-star) Grim Reaper

—1x (10-star) Angel

[You have two of the same Genus with the same rarity. Do you want to fuse the two Genus?]

[Upgrade Points required: 1000]

[Available Upgrade Points: 999,000]

He was surprised to see that he could also fuse Genuses! If merging two LifeSkills resulted in advancing its class, then what would result in the fusion of two Genus?

Will it become a 2-star rarity genus?

Atlan looked at his Soul System and saw two spiraling helixes representing his two 1-star Genuses.

The two helixes were made up of a structure that looked like a twisted ladder made up of strange dark blue blobs that resembled the color of the Pseudo Canzers.

Once he ordered the fusion of the two helixes, the fuzzy sphere made out of red geometrical objects spurt out a straight line of squares, triangles, and polygons toward the Genuses.

These were his Upgrade Points, and they wrapped themselves around the two double-stranded helixes and squeezed them closer together.

It forced the two together until the two helix ladders merged and fused into one single structure, with more complex colors and more defined patterns on the very helix itself.

[You have successfully merged the two Genus]

[You have obtained 2-star Genus Pseudo Canzers]

When Atlan looked at his Soul System, he saw that his bloodline remained as the 'Angelic Reaper of Souls.'

According to Lizzie, the Genus dictated what kind of bloodline a person had.

When he obtained the Grim Reaper Genus, his bloodline changed to the Grim Reaper of Souls.

When he obtained the Angel Genus, his bloodline once again changed into the Angelic Reaper of Souls, which incorporated the two essences of his Genus.

However, when he obtained the 1-star Pseudo Canzer genus, the bloodline remained the same. Even when he upgraded it to 2-star, it still didn't have an effect on his bloodline.

He turned towards Neumann and asked him.

"Can I ask what mutation you have?"

"Sure. I obtained the 4-star Armadillo Mutation.

You can't see it because I'm wearing my battle suit, but the entirety of my back and chest has changed into an Armadillo shell."

Neumann stretched the collar of his green battle suit and showed Atlan that his entire chest up to the collarbone had changed into a hard collagen material with a dark brown color.

"That means that your bloodline has changed into an Armadillo?"

"Kukuku, armadillo man!" Wemby teased.

"Yes. My bloodline has fully changed into an Armadillian."

"What if you get a 1-star Genus? Will that change your bloodline?"

He shook his head. "A lesser or inferior Genus won't change your bloodline."

Atlan paused for a second. "What if you have the same genus rarity?"

"Your bloodline will change into which one is the more dominant. Not all the Genus in the same star rating are equal. Some are better than others."

"They won't change your bloodline into a mix of both genes?"

Neumann laughed and shook his head. "I wish, but no. If you have a Genus of a whale and a bull, you're going to be the whale."

Then why did my 10-star Genus mix in my bloodline?
