The crystallines attacked Silva all at once, but because of the hunger of Gluttony, his strength was increased severalfold. He took them down without issue.

He finally leveled up after he killed the remaining crystallines, and his hunger had also subsided after he killed all of them.
Silva picked up all the crystals that dropped on the ground one by one.
He kept them in his ring as he headed deeper inside the labyrinth.
He walked for a while without sensing any crystallines, but soon, a team of ten crystallines came his way.
Silva decided not to waste a single moment. He summoned all his clones, and they went into battle, one versus one.
After he killed all of them, he leveled up again, finally reaching level 75.
The progress was fast, but he needed it to be faster. So he picked up his speed and started rushing through the labyrinth floor.
He moved quickly, using his dragon Newt form to take them out quickly and also using his clones.
Finally, Silva made it to the floor that led to the second floor.
By now, he had reached level 80. He decided not to distribute his stat points yet.
Silva walked down the crystal stairs and into the second floor.
When he arrived, he immediately saw two crystallines, but they weren’t like the ones he had fought.
These ones were red crystal in color, and they gave off a stronger aura than the black ones.
Immediately they saw him, they charged at him; their speed was evidently greater than that of the blacks.
Silva didn’t care, though. He blocked the first one with his axe and pushed it back. The second one leaped into the air. Silva turned to face it, and he aimed for the head.
But a red forcefield appeared and blocked the attack.
His axe managed to break through, but the forcefield blocked it enough for the crystalline to make a retreat. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
“So these ones have abilities,” Silva said.
The two crystallines regrouped and charged again, one in front and one at the back. They moved from left to right, interchanging to confuse Silva.
But Silva was bored by their movements. He transformed into his dragon form and threw his axe at top speed.
The forcefield appeared to block the axe, but the axe managed to break through. Silva chased after it with flash step.
He grabbed onto the axe and swung at the head of the crystalline at close range, killing it.

This one gave him far more EXP than the black ones. A smile formed on his face as he looked at the second one.
He used flash step, getting behind the crystalline and lopping off the head before it could react.

Silva picked up the crystals they dropped and started heading deeper into the labyrinth. He had fallen in love with this labyrinth.
If he kept up the pace, he was sure to finally evolve.

In the director’s office that night, Terron, the prince, and Matilda were seated inside the office discussing.
The topic of their discussion was, of course, how to capture Silva.
Terron pulled out a cube and placed it on the table.
“This is called the eternal cube. I, along with several mages, have been looking for ways to seal powerful beings and ensure they never leave.
The cube is yet to be perfect, but it can very much seal anyone for a period of time.
During the time that Silva will be sealed inside, a slave collar will be made available, and a very impenetrable prison.
The collar will be put on him, and he will be locked inside and will only be allowed to leave when he is needed by the kingdom.
He will be studied and also trained to make him a very useful weapon for the kingdom,” Terron finished explaining his plan on how they would capture Silva.
“I see. So how do we go about capturing him and putting him into the seal?” Matilda asked.
“That is also simple. We have two people in the S class that work for the kingdom, right? The hero candidate and the other one, right?
We will ask them. They possess enough magic to activate the cube and also seal Silva. They just need to be in a place where no one will see them.
And the best time for them to do that will be during the labyrinth competition tomorrow. It will be the best opportunity, and I’m sure they will be competent enough to carry out the task,” Terron explained.
“I see, that all makes sense. So we just have to inform them on what to do, and we will be able to capture Silva,” Matilda said.
“Thank you, both of you, for agreeing to do this for the kingdom.
Sir Terron, I understand that he is your son, but what must be done must be done. And besides, your family will receive a lot of rewards from this as well,” Alvin said.

In the council office, the president sat at the table having a midnight snack with Oliver seated on the opposite side, reading some papers.
“This is the layout for how you can get Silva into the room and lock him inside.
You have to carry everything out the way it is here. If you do, everything will fall into place, and you will have gotten rid of Silva for good,” the president said.
“I understand. I’ll do my best. But I’ve wanted to ask, what if Silva escapes from the room? What will I do then?” Oliver asked.
“He won’t. Even I can’t escape from there. It is impossible. No matter how special or strong he is, he won’t be able to get out,” the president assured.
That night, two plans were being made for the boy who was happily cutting down crystallines in a void labyrinth.
Which side would actually prevail over Silva when the time comes?
