"Yes," Jayden replied without hesitation, and the system got to work immediately.
[Energy Acquisition commencing...]
A pulse of heat surged through Jayden's chest. Golden light... pure energy—flowed from the dead Flare's core, spiraling into his body like a river of liquid fire.
[Beast Energy Acquisition in progress]
[Beast type: Sabertooth Flare (C-Rank)]
[Beast Gene Absorption: 1%]
[Beast Ability Assimilation: 50%]
Jayden's muscles tensed involuntarily as the ancient beast's essence integrated with his own. All of it pouring in, layer by layer.
After a few seconds, the process neared its completion:
[Beast Gene Absorption: 1%]
[Beast Ability Assimilation: 97%]
But something was wrong... the gene absorption meter still hadn't moved.
Jayden frowned. He was about to ask Luna why this was happening, when the system suddenly chimed.
[Alert! Host is unable to absorb the Genes of an Ancient Beast at his current Level]
Jayden scowled. "You have to be kidding me."
