Lisa’s opponent got up from the floor, realizing that the referee had stepped in, and that meant she had lost. She snapped.
“Why did you stop me? I could have handled it,” she yelled at the referee.
“I’m sorry, but there was no way you could have dealt with that attack. I’m trained, and I could see that you would not have survived it,” the ref said to her.
The girl began fuming, but there was nothing she could do now. She bowed her head in anger and left the arena.
Lia also left the arena, and the next duel was ready to get underway. But after her duel, Silva had no interest in the others, so he decided to leave and deal with something.
He told the others he was leaving, and then he exited the arena. Once he was in the hallway, he vanished into a portal.
He walked into the room of the man from Dark Blade. He had let the man live by gathering information for him all this time.
When the man saw Silva, he stood up from his desk and bowed.
“No need to do that. Just give me all the information you have gathered on what I asked you to. After you give me it, I want you to run, run as far as you can, because today I’ll be wiping your organization off the map,” Silva said.
The man looked up in shock when he heard that, but he could tell that Silva was serious. He took off his spatial ring and handed it to Silva.
“This ring contains all the information you asked for, down to the littlest details,” he said in a shaky voice. Silva took the ring from him and wore it on his finger.
“You can leave now,” Silva said. The man got up and ran out of the room at top speed, not looking back at all, scared that if he looked back he would die.
Silva walked to the chair and sat down on it. He leaned back and placed his feet, crossed, on the table. He started humming some tunes he remembered from Earth.
As his mind drifted to Earth, he started thinking about Earth’s technology. If he incorporated some technologies from Earth into this magical world, he might come to have the strongest kingdom.
“Elsa, bring the guardians and all my summons to the throne room. I’ll be there in a few seconds,” Silva said to Elsa telepathically.
“Alright, I’ll get them there,” she said.
Silva stood from the chair and created a portal. With how much mana he had now, entering the labyrinth was not an issue anymore.
He walked through the portal and arrived there, and everyone was already there waiting for him. He walked up and took his seat.
He pulled out the ring that the man had given him. From inside the ring, he pulled out several documents and stretched them out to Lily.
Lily came forward and took all of them. She skimmed through them at a crazy speed and then handed them all back to Silva.
Silva took the documents and then asked her, “So tell us what you gathered from it.”
“The Dark Blades have over twenty branches spread across the kingdom. They created a spiderweb sort of network.
It allows a fast method for them to transfer resources from place to place. It’s not very safe because the routes remain the same for every transfer.
They have fixed storage points and fixed bases. But according to this, the master of this organization is the only thing that is really secured. freewebnvel.coɱ
His location changes weekly to ensure no one knows his location. But even with that, there are ten locations where he is moved to weekly.
Though the movement pattern is very well mixed to ensure irregularities, it seems the person who gave you this information was really high up the ranks.
He was able to gather the movement pattern of the leader for the last three years, and now using that information, I was able to easily know that he would be in the location tagged number eight as of today and will change in three days’ time.
The location is in a small town, Ariuim. Now about the slaves that were bought, the ones that are yet to be sold are kept at three major storage points.
One is located in the capital, and the second is at the city of Aston. There are several smaller groups spread across their bases, but these two locations have more than a hundred slaves captured.
Also, according to his reports, the leader is evolved, and there are also three evolved people in the organization, so you should be cautious of them,” Lily finished what she had to say.
“From the breakdown that Lily has given us, it’s safe to say we can easily crush this organization and get rid of them.
But let’s leave that till tonight. The main reason I came here today is to remind you all that I have evolved, and that means I can make all the Guardians my summons.
You are all very powerful, but with my legacy, you will all gain a tenfold buff. Like I said, I want to create the strongest force on this planet.
Still, I’d like all of you to put limiters on your powers whenever you fight. The greatest way to win is to make the enemy underestimate you.
Many of you will come to fight the demon kings and heroes and even more in the future. So we must be stronger.
I will not be forcing anyone. If you want to be my summon, step forward, and we will make the contract,” Silva said.
Selax came forward first and bowed her head. “We are already yours to use, so this is an opportunity for us if nothing else.”
“Thank you, Selax,” Silva said and shook her hand. The system was not yet upgraded, so he would not receive any notifications about the summoning, nor would he be able to see her stats.
But summoning was his magic, so he would be able to use it without issues. Silva also made a mental note to buy spells from the system later on summoning.
The only summoning he had really done was taming, and that in itself wasn’t really a summoning.
The light of the summoning ritual shined, and the mark appeared on Selax. She felt a burst of power rush through her body, unlike anything she had felt before.
She became ecstatic and hugged Silva. She knew that his summoning would increase her strength, but she never expected it to be this much.
“Selax, you will crush my ribs,” Silva said, and she finally let go of him.
After her, all the guardians came to him one by one and became his summons.
When it was the Wyvern, Silva gave him a smile because he was the one he had fought first, who taught Silva that there were stronger people in this world.
The demi-leviathan, or human-snake Jade, did the same as Selax and wrapped her tail around Silva to embrace him.
When it was time for Drake and Lily, they both gave Silva a smile, and then Lily spoke.
“To think we could still have the chance to grow stronger, you were always the right choice.”
Silva didn’t know how to respond, so he carried out the summoning on them as well.
It was after he finished their summoning that Silva realized his mana was dropping heavily. Summoning was magic, and magic used mana, and the beings he was taking were really powerful.
He felt dizzy after he finished the summoning. He wanted to sit down, but then Elsa and Aris called him at the same time.
Silva looked at them, and all his instincts were screaming that he shouldn’t do it; they would definitely consume his mana.
Aris was as strong, if not stronger, than Drake, and then there was Elsa, who, without anyone even telling you, you would know she was the strongest here—a pure dark dragon.
“I’m not sure I have enough mana to carry out the summoning for the both of you now,” Silva said.
“You will survive for sure,” Aris said. Silva still wanted to refuse, but he looked at Elsa, who had puppy eyes looking at him, so he decided to do it.
He activated the summoning for Aris first, and it worked, but he burned almost all his reserves. He staggered towards Elsa.
He cast the spell, and like a black hole, it sucked all his mana. Luckily, he succeeded, but he fell backward and immediately fainted.

Silva’s eyes opened up, and his ears were filled with the sounds of cars passing at high speed. Silva was confused immediately; these were sounds he had not heard for years now.
He looked around and realized he was seated on a bench in a town that resembled one from Earth, by the side of a road.
“What the hell is going on?” Silva asked.
