Silva and Sage had to return to the academy after a day with their mother. Their friends asked questions concerning the matter, and Sage explained what she could.
The only two people in the group that knew the truth were Leah and Aaron. As for the rest, they were yet to prove that they were real friends with Silva. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The issue had also made all of them forget about Silva’s sudden change physically.
For Leah, Silva simply didn’t want to bring her into all the conflict, but he would soon tell her the truth about the whole thing.
Since the king had said the elite competition would have to hold even after the news of the crime, the date was moved closer.
Now it was simply a week away, and the academy was yet to choose those who would go. So, they suspended all school activities and decided to hold duel competitions.
The people who had successfully made it out of the labyrinth would be the ones to participate, and the winners would be taken to the elite competition.
The duel was set to happen two days after it was announced, and the selections would be made randomly starting that day.
Since the duel was two days away with nothing to do, Silva decided to head to the labyrinth. His mission was to get to the bottom.
Whatever that vision he got after he woke up was, it was telling him that something was in the labyrinth, and he had to find it.
When he was finally done with the labyrinth, he would know what real next step to take.
So he headed to the labyrinth and entered the first floor after greeting the guards, who were now familiar with him.
“Alright, time to see what this labyrinth holds.”
Silva walked through the labyrinth like he owned it, without regard for anything. The Mangledons that saw him refused to attack; it was like there was an aura about him that made them not attack.
Silva headed deeper, passing all the floors all the way to the ninth floor. That was the only floor that had some Mangledon that tried to attack him.
But when they attacked him, he allowed his aura to spill out, and the magic amount suffocated them and killed them in seconds.
“So, magic in high concentration can be brutal to a weak body, or should I say radioactive to their body.”
He didn’t bother picking up their crystals and only continued moving; he also didn’t allow the kill notifications to come as they were very little to him and pointless.
Sure, they added some experience to him, but he needed a whopping million exp to level up, and those Mangledons gave too little exp.
Silva was getting ready to enter the dark levels of the labyrinth, but then a very dreadful notification came through.
Dreadful not because it was scary, but because this was not the image he would want to have such an issue.
[The minions of the greatest being are arriving]
As soon as he read through the notification, the space started twisting and distorting more than it did last time.
A portal appeared, and the minions walked out, but this time it was not just one angel. No, there were a total of six.
Four of them had two wings like the first one he had seen, and the remaining two had four wings and looked regal and menacing.
Just by looking at them, Silva could tell that they were very much stronger.
Unlike last time, they disrupted the area and stopped signals from passing, so Silva would not be able to send a message out.
Silva made a mental note to buy a skill that would help him deal with this particular issue later.
The angels stopped moving as soon as they walked through the portal; they turned into statues.
Silva didn’t waste time; he first took out his axe, which gave him the much-needed boost. He would fight them one on one first, and if it got too hard, he would summon his clones.
He closed his eyes to use vibration sensing, and immediately the four two-winged angels attacked at the same time, moving at the crazy speed that he remembered.
But he wasn’t as weak as back then; he had changed a lot and was a whole lot stronger. So Silva was ready for them.
The first one stabbed at Silva’s head; he took a step back and parried the attack gracefully before stepping in and headbutting the angel.
He leaped back to dodge the attacks of the two that had tried to flank him when he was dealing with the first angel.
As he landed, he changed his sights to the one that was coming from above in the air. He swung his axe upwards, and it hit with the sword of the angel; the force pushed it up and slammed it into the ceiling.
Silva immediately used flash step to approach the first one he attacked while the other two were trying to divert and chase him.
The angel he was charging at decided to use its ability; it stabbed its sword into the ground and caused time to slow down inside a dome.
Only the outer angels could move freely; they thought they had captured him, but to their surprise, Silva was still moving at that speed.
“I knew all I had to do was make you underestimate my speed. Your dome can’t stop my real speed,” he said and sped up more.
He cleanly lopped off the head of that angel.
[Congratulations, you have killed a ######]
[You have 20,000 exp, 10,000 Sp, 1,000 Stat points]
After seeing this notification, Silva came to a conclusion: these angels must be really special. In the past, when he fought that one, it gave him several level ups.
But now, it wasn’t able to give him the level ups due to his level up cap, but it gave him a lot of exp and stat points.
He immediately turned and faced the other three, charging at them—it was time to level up.
