Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1323

Chapter 1323: Infuriated

"... Maybe I shouldn’t answer at all since you don’t even plan on listening to me. You know, you’re real selfish. This is just—." The little girl blinked. "—ah, you’re back to reality. Anyway, your eyes are going to burst if you don’t improve them to Tier 3, potentially Tier 4. And you have about, um... seven hours."

Sylas’ eyes flashed. Unfortunately, that came with even more pain.

He had all the ingredients he needed to complete Tier 3 except for the actual eyes. And as for Tier 4... well, he had none of those ingredients at all. If he needed to go as far as Tier 4, then he would basically be giving up his eyes.

Either that, or he’d have to give up this Profession.

As good as his visualization was, it was too prone to errors to possibly give up his eyes entirely, especially since his eyes were so powerful to begin with. The idea that he would just casually give them up was ridiculous.

However, he also didn’t want to give up his Runeweaver Profession either. It was too important, and he had a feeling that he had only touched the tip of the iceberg of what it was actually capable of.

The strongest aspects of his Runeweaver Eyes were both the ability to Unravel and Weave. He had made use of Unravel a lot, but he hadn’t used Weave nearly enough.

Who knew whether, when he finally started mastering those techniques properly, his Rune casting speed would become even faster than it already was. It was a scary thought to consider that he wasn’t anywhere near his full potential even with a so-called Perfect Spark Seed, because he had no one at all to guide him down this path.

"I swear you can’t possibly be as smart as you pretend to be. I guarantee it, there’s just no way. The solution is obvious, dingus. Ask for help."

Sylas didn’t reply when he heard these words.

The little girl was right. He had been trying to think of a million solutions, and that was the one even his mind hadn’t come across. He didn’t even consider it.

But when he thought about it, it did really seem like the only solution. It was just that... everything came at a price.

If he did nothing, he would lose his Profession and maybe even his eyes as well. But if he asked for help...

Could he even still leave?

Sylas hadn’t made a decision just yet, but he was well and truly considering leaving the Sanctum entirely. Maybe it was just overblown Pride, and fair enough. But he didn’t want to be in a place like this. He would much rather leave and forge his own way at this point.

He had been here all of... three days at most? And yet he had already lost something so valuable, all because of his weakness.

Being under the umbrella of someone else was just asking for this to happen again.

But if he asked for help, his Pride also wouldn’t allow him to leave without repaying them first.

To his mind, the situation with Nyssa was a lot different. She was there to take advantage of him. She helped him for the sake of herself, to pigeonhole him into a state he couldn’t escape from when he had never asked for her help in the first place.

Maybe had things gone differently, he would have had the intention to repay her properly.
