Genetic Ascension

Chapter 1017  Honored Inspector

The Inspector was wreathed in white and gold, a pair of gold pauldrons embroidered with white marble hanging from his shoulders as thick, white leather robes fell in a stream down his body. There were a pair of wings of white at his back, looped with chains of gold and carrying thick golden ring piercings along their length.

It looked far more like an angel was descending from above than the guard of a mere merchant guild—especially when he had a golden tome in one hand and a heavy chain in the other.

Sylas' eyes, though seemingly having finally regained focus from what he was doing, were focused on the wings.

'… Interesting.'

The thought was fleeting before Sylas felt the gaze of the Inspector land on him. Then, the gaze of the man shifted to just above Sylas' head as though he were reading something.

The Inspector raised an eyebrow, tilting his head to the side.

Until now, Sylas was still unable to see the true face of the man. He looked vaguely human, but the lights coming from him were so bright that it was honestly hard to tell if there was anything but the shape that they shared.

But focusing on the eyes, Sylas knew that what he was looking at was certainly not a human, not with the way the man's pupils were pill-shaped, laying out horizontally across his irises.
