Because of the sound and force of the explosion, whatever was underground got furious, and its mother exploded out like a raging typhoon.
This spike in Mana was what the beasts needed to start the beast wave. They couldn’t take it anymore and all started leaving the forest, heading for the town in the hundreds.
Silva immediately telepathically contacted Elsa.
“Elsa, the beast wave is incoming. We need to stop it before it goes anywhere. Get Gallan and Fang to handle it, along with one of the Guardians and as many labyrinth beasts as you will need.
The beasts are at least five hundred or more, so I’ll leave it to you. Make sure that you ensure the battle is fought away from human eyes; we don’t want word of it going out,” Silva informed her.
“Alright, daddy,” she said and then ended their connection.
Silva turned his attention to the hole that was before him. The Mana was violently rushing out, and whatever was in there was coming out soon.
“Let’s be battle-ready. We don’t know what will be there, but we have to ensure we take it down quickly,” Silva said.
Suddenly, faster than he could react, a massive burst of chaotic energy exploded from the ground.
Lily darted to his side and used her magic to form a barrier and protect him. Zack also used his axe to split the energy, but you could tell from the way his feet dragged that it was tough.
When the energy explosion died down, Silva asked Lily, “What energy was that? I have never felt something like that.”
“I think I have felt this energy before. It is a very special one that is only born from the merge of all elements. It is called chaos energy.
It is said to be capable of doing anything as long as the person has mastered it.
Many races have the ability to sense more than one element. Fairies, elves, and spirits are the ones who are capable of learning a lot.
Some people learn all the elements and then merge them into one, a very difficult thing to do, and from that comes chaos energy,” Lily explained.
“So whatever is in there is a being that has learned all the elements and has merged them into one?” Silva asked.
Suddenly, a figure blasted out of the ground and flew into the air, shining brightly in a red light and exuding Mana that Silva had never seen before.
Even Lily was a little bit less when it came to Mana.
“That being possesses more Mana than me,” Lily pointed out immediately.
Silva tried to use dragon eyes on her, but he was hit with a backlash that caused a splitting pain to hit his head.
“Arghh!” Silva cried in pain as he held his head.
“Whatever happened?” Lily asked.
“I tried to check her stats, but she was too strong. It backlashed,” Silva said.
The glowing chaos around the figure died down and revealed a beauty that rivaled the goddesses. Her waist-length red hair complemented her eyes.
She donned beautiful armor with gold and white. She was like the goddess of war and beauty all in one.
But her looks were not deceiving anyone, because as she looked at Silva and his group, a rushing bloodlust hit them.
Silva could tell that she wanted to fight them, and this was not going to be an easy fight at all.
“Zack, Lily, give it your all. Let’s take her down,” Silva said and transformed into his dragon Newt form with full wings.
His power surged, but he didn’t stop there. Even with his clawed hands, he still wielded his axe and buffed his power more.
The woman in the sky saw that Silva and his group wanted to fight her as well, so she made the first attack.
She shot down like a rocket, making a sword appear and covering it with a ridiculous amount of chaos energy.
She went for Silva, who was at the center, but before she could get close, a barrier from Lily blocked her sword.
“Zack, go now!” Lily said. Zack charged, leaped into the air, and slashed with his axe. The woman quickly countered with her sword and blocked Zack’s attack.
Zack refused to back down easily. He channeled his Mana through his axe, and it glowed red. The woman didn’t know what he was doing, but she knew she had to stop it. Her chaos exploded and sent Zack flying.
Zack had done his piece to distract the woman. Silva had made his way into the sky and was coming from above at a crazy speed.
She noticed him a bit late, and his attack was in motion. With his buff from his dragon form and his axe, his attack carried a strength close to seventy thousand or more.
He swung the axe at her, and she covered herself in a thick layer of chaos. The axe collided, and an explosion happened, sending Silva flying and the woman to the ground, but she was unhurt.
She got back up immediately and began smiling. She looked at them and finally spoke.
“You are the ones that woke me up? You may be strong, but you have no power against chaos,” she said in a cocky tone.
Silva, who was flying in the air, heard that, and his pride was hit. He knew he could defeat this woman; he had just wanted to see her strength, yet she claimed he was weak.
“Zack, Lily, stand back,” Silva said and dropped to the ground.
He began walking toward the woman in steady steps, and with every step, he brought out one clone, and then the clones transformed into dragon forms.
She saw this and scoffed.
“Do you believe ten clones can stop me?” she asked.
When Silva heard that, he was then hit with a thought. His clones were overpowered replicas of him, and they had all his abilities and skills.
Though he was the one supplying Mana to them, he had enough Mana. So he had an idea. What if his clones made overpowered clones of themselves?
The only drawback of that would be that all the Mana would come from him. But his Mana was growing at an astonishing rate, and he would only use this idea when he seriously needed it.
So Silva gave it a try and passed the instruction to all the clones, and they all made clones of themselves, making an army of a hundred who were ten times stronger than the original clones.
But the Mana consumption was crazy. Silva could feel the Mana flowing out of his body like crazy. This skill was not something he could use whenever he wanted.
But for now, he was going to burn through all his Mana because all the clones also transformed into the dragon Newt form, and that on its own ate a lot of Mana.
At this point, not even Drake could hope to stand against Silva. This was a hundred-man army of Silva, and some had stats ten times the original, and most had stats ten times the clones.
When the woman saw this, she froze because she could feel the strength from a hundred of them. She was already internally shaken when she saw the first ten that he made, and she was bluffing when she spoke.
She didn’t expect that Silva would actually summon more clones that were even more powerful.
“It’s not possible to have such a skill; it must be a bluff!” she yelled and started dashing for Silva. She fired a massive beam at a group of the clones, but they all used their swords to counter it easily.
She was shocked when she saw that, but the other clones had already circled her and were moving in for an attack.
She became unsure of what to do. She tried to fight, but one clone parried her sword, and three more placed their swords near her neck.
Another three went for her lower body with their swords around it. She froze in place at this point.
There was no way out. She had lost.
“I give up. Please call back your clones,” she quickly said. source-at-MVLeMpYr
Silva was shocked that she gave up so easily, but he was happy because he had used more than ninety percent of his Mana already.
He unsummoned his main clones, and that caused all the clones to disappear.
He bent over and huffed and puffed. He couldn’t hide that he was very much spent.
Lily and Zack, on the other hand, were shocked. They didn’t expect that Silva was actually this powerful. They knew he had potential and was going to be great, but it seems they underestimated things. He was already crazy strong.
The woman walked to Silva, but all her bloodlust and killing intent had gone away.
She looked at Silva and spoke, “My name is Aris, a chaos spirit. Form a pact with me.”
