Chapter 755: Perfect [Top 5 in Golden Tickets Bonus]


    ?


    Ss dismissed his fusion with the Basilisk King, a string of pulsing pain erupting through his body. His muscles spasmed and it almost looked like cramps were continuously forming beneath his skin.


    It was a gruesome sight saved from being worse by theck of blood. It wasn''t until Ss took several deep breaths and massaged his body through a series of flexes that the pain slowly subsided.


    The drawbacks this time were minimal, mostly thanks to the fact Were-For-The-Invincible had Leveled up considerably, increasing his control.


    Because he could now Fuse with two beasts, the limit for the stats he could take when fusing with just one had gone up. But the gap between his stats and that of the Basilisk King''s were still too far apart.


    He could maintain the Fusion for more than five seconds, but over that threshold would be the point where terrible harm would start being inflicted onto his body.


    Only the first leg of his n wasplete for now, so he didn''t want to end up in a partiallyatose state just yet, at least not until he could guarantee that there would at least be a victory waiting on the other side for him.


    ''Should be about right...''


    Ss looked up from his position on the flickering lightning spear. Indeed, there were several spectators around, most of which were many hundreds of meters away.


    This sort of battle wasn''t the sort that most could be nearby for. His strength had already reached the point where even if he couldn''t level a small town to the ground, he could still definitely destroy a street or two.


    Well, his personal strength wasn''t capable of that just yet mostly because he was stillcking in offensive repertoire. But his enemies were clearly already capable of such a thing.


    The fact Lucirius could call down lightning from the skies made him feel that this world was truly more fantastical than he knew. He thought that he had already gotten used to it, but clearly there was much more to learn.


    That fact made his blood boil.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Ss reached down a hand and tried to test to see if he could take Lucirius'' Genes. He was honestly just wasting time. Thest time he tried to take Genes from a Sylph, he was stonewalled. But he thought that he might as well try now.


    ''Hm?''


    Ss'' gaze flickered.


    That was when he recalled something.


    Back when he killed Azrael, his Taboo Bond Path was at just Level 1. It was before he had ever gotten any Free Experience. Because of that, it only worked on Fragmented Genes and mostly ended up being worthless.


    After all, beasts with Fragmented Genes had already stopped beingmonce after Ss exited the Slithering Madness Dungeon.


    But now, the situation was different. He didn''t have to rely on the system anymore. Azrael''s body had ended up atrophying after the failure by the system. But this time, when Ss used Extricate, he could feel some resistance... however, this resistance meant two things in particr.


    First, it meant that his Extricate Path Talent had actually sensed something.


    And second... he felt that he could actually pull it out.


    But this was still odd for Ss. That was because in the Frostbane Dungeon, he had tried to


    use Extricate on the Sylphs there as well, but he had been stonewalled too.


    Could it be that Taboo Bond had leveled up enough that the protections the Sylphs had against this sort of thing weren''t effective on him anymore?


    A bundle of lightning came out from Lucirius'' body and Ss looked at it curiously, his gaze flickering.


    It felt like a Gene and yet not like a Gene at the same time.


    Ss had seen Unique Genes before, but they felt nothing like this one.


    ''Is this the difference between being born with a Unique Gene and fusing with one after the fact? It feels like this is much more a part of Lucirius'' body than the others had been...


    ''No, it''s not just this...''


    Ss took out Lucius'' corpse and used Extricate on it as well. The Grimde family''s Unique Gene appeared, twirling with a red light as it spontaneously twisted into des from time to time.


    While he had had Lucius with him for a decent while now, Ss hadn''t felt the need to take the Grimde''s Unique Gene from him.


    ''It''s a Silver Gene...'' Ss realized. ''... But this feels deeper than that...''


    After a few seconds, Ss grasped what was going on here.


    Lucirius'' Gene wasn''t just an F-Grade Unique Gene. It was an F-Grade Unique Gene with an evolution path to the E-Grade.


    In fact, it seemed that for talented Sylphs, they would be born directly with an E-Grade Unique Gene. But Lucirius was likelycking in this respect, so he would have to hope for an upgrade in the future.


    That said, it was still very rare for a Sylph to be born with an E-Grade Unique Gene directly. So this wasn''t to say that Lucirius was ipetent, just rather that he wasn''t lucky enough. Ss finally grasped the difference. His Extricate Path Talent wouldn''t work on E-Grade Unique Genes as it was limited to the F-Grade. But this was a fascinating boon.


    ''But this Unique Gene is very clearly tied to the Sylph Race, or rather, the Lightning Sylphs, or whatever they might call themselves. It''s not very useful to me. As for the other Genes in this Sylph''s body... I cannot take them.''


    Ss realized why this was.


    Lucirius wasn''t an F-Grade existence.


    He was an E-Grade one.


    Almost all of his Genes outside of the F-Grade Unique Gene were E-Grade!


    The others were foundational Genes that seemed to have sunk in deeper than Genes usually did. As a result, Ss couldn''t reach them unless he raised Taboo Bond to Level 50.


    ''Interesting. I''ll study this moreter...''


    Ss slipped the Genes back into the corpses of the two bodies and stored them away. Looking up again, he knew that the time hade.


    The streets rumbled as Ss received a message from his notifications. He took a nce at it


    and nodded.


    "Perfect."
