'This is consistent with the first Dungeon I entered. These minion-type monsters will only provide one type of Gene, but the BOSSes should provide multiple, and thus will give me a better chance of getting exactly what I want.
'If I keep using this strategy, clearing out the mobs will be easy enough. I would only have to tire myself out facing the BOSSes themselves. In that case, I can be bolder with how I approach this and clear out the whole maze.
'I'll stick with this optimal path for now. It's still possible that the BOSSes will be too much for me to handle. I can double back later if things go well.'
With that, Sylas took his time, collecting one minion corpse after another.
Luckily, because he didn't really need to worry about Aether consumption, he was able to raise the Madness Key to a five cubic meter size. That was the equivalent of the current Sylas draining his Aether around 18 times… if he didn't have <Maddened Enlightenment>, that is.
