Chapter 1155: Wafting Evil
Sylas stood over the vessel he was trying to use, tilting his head, thinking, frowning, and then bending down to do more work.
He was quickly deciphering how it worked, but it was taking much longer than he expected, mostly because, from what he was seeing, there actually seemed to be some sort of protections over it. These protections locked it into a bloodline sort of safeguard.
He could bypass this easily enough. Not only did he have Taboo Bond, but although he hadn’t checked his rewards, he knew that Vipermancy had progressed to E-Grade.
The main issue was obvious, whether it was locked away from him or not. But curiously enough… he found that the protections left on F-Grades were actually quite loose in the face of an E-Grade Extricate Ability.
Sylas actually had the feeling that if he progressed it any further, he would actually be able to ignore protections on F-Grade Genes completely, at least.
But even going that far wasn’t necessary. From what it looked like, protections on Genes were common. Protections on Blood Essence, however… and Bone Essence, even deeper than that…
Were not.
And Blood Essence was actually what you needed to get the vessel going.
This made sense, of course. A person could benefit from a Gene directly assuming they had the capacity to absorb it. Otherwise, you would need a special method of absorption, like the technique that helped Sylas use Level 10 Mature Aether for the first time.
Since then, he had mostly forgotten about that method because it was both inferior to what he would need right now, and because he hadn’t run into beasts powerful enough to be worth using it on in the first place. But the point still stood.
‘Got it.’
