The scene of Silva flipping the carriage in a novel shocked everyone it was beyond crazy. Even his party looked at him in shock.
“Silva, what happened?” Aaron asked.
“I got tired. I realized that I am not just powerful, I’m very powerful, yet I keep doing things like I lack resources and strength. I pissed myself off,” Silva said while still walking.
“I thought you didn’t want to make reckless moves until you knew what the empire was up to?” Aaron asked.
“I’m still going to follow the plan, but this time without wasting time,” Silva said.
The people inside the carriage managed to find their way out, and their rage was evident.
“How dare you!” a young man roared in anger. He was clad in ankle length robes, purple with golden embroidery. He was seemingly the son of some big shot noble of the kingdom, but his face said otherwise. Silva could barely look at his face as he stood there.
Beside the young man were some other people, an old man and an old woman, both dressed in white. Her arm was bleeding; she must have gotten injured when Silva flipped the carriage.
People soon started gathering around the scene, everyone trying to figure out exactly what was going on.
Silva simply looked at the man before him, but he wasn’t really focused on him. He was focused on something else thinking about his course of action. Did he really need to do all this?
As he asked himself this question, his hair slowly changed back to white, and his appearance returned to normal. He raised his leg and stomped so hard on the ground that the entire area shook violently. Cracks appeared along the ground, and people struggled to hold their footing.
Silva turned to his party faster than they could react. He transformed into a full dragon, used his teeth to pick each of them up, and tossed them onto his back. They couldn’t even say anything—he had already carried them.
He flapped his wings and shot into the sky, causing a sonic boom so loud that people’s eardrums tore.
In a second, he was already high above, and immediately, he shot into the distance, heading back to his kingdom.
“Silva, what are you doing?” Aaron asked.
“I’m taking you all back,” Silva said.
“Huh?” They all asked at the same time, wondering why Silva would suddenly make such a decision. What happened to his plan? What happened to everything?
“I don’t know what I’ve been doing for a while now, but I know that I’ve been making rubbish decisions. There is no need for me to use these methods to check out the empire. There is no point in doing all this.
The empire might be powerful, but I possess power greater than that of a hero, so I can do this faster and better,” Silva said.
“What the hell are you saying, bro? What about our say in this? And when did you start having all these thoughts?” Aaron asked.
“Aaron, don’t push the issue. I want all of you back at the castle to take care of the kingdom. This is not a question. This is not a request. This is me purely telling you what to do as your king.
I have a lot of things happening now, and wasting time doing everything slow and steady will only kill the mission. I am sorry.”
In the short time he spoke, he had already made it over the kingdom. He flew down straight into the kingdom and headed for the castle.
Immediately, his feet touched the ground, and word of his arrival spread out to several important figures, letting them know Silva was back.
Silva transformed back, and as soon as he did, Aaron ran up to punch him. His fist connected, but Silva’s face didn’t move at all.
“I’m sorry, Aaron. I’m tired of playing childish games. We are long past that,” Silva said. He looked at Amber first.
“Amber, you have to head back home. You have yet to fully evolve. You are a Demon King candidate, you should strive for that before the blood moon in a few months.
Lia, Leah, Fay, Sage, Dawn, you guys need to get stronger. I’ve been pulling you along for everything when I really didn’t need you yet. You aren’t at the level of strength I need.
Dawn, I would normally say you can follow me because you are my summon, but no. You must get stronger like Fang first and prove that I need your help.
I’m tired of trying to carry everyone along. Not all missions are for everyone. Lena was a sign of that. If what happened hadn’t happened, your minds would have been corroded.
I tried to overlook all of these things, but I realized that I was taking you all into unnecessary, uncharted waters.”
Silva finished speaking and started walking away.
“So what are you going to do now?” Aaron yelled out. The girls just watched, confused. Why did he suddenly change like this? Everything was going fine, but then, all of a sudden, he brought them back.
“I’m going to the empire. I’ll be sending the rest back. The only people I’ll be needing for now are the Guardians,” Silva said while still walking away, heading into the castle.
The guards opened the door, and he walked in. He let out a deep sigh before continuing.
But what had really made him do all this?
It was simple a system message had come after he flipped that carriage.
[Head to the empire. Your time is running out. The task will soon get out of hand. You might not be able to stop the destruction.]
This was a deep warning. It was telling him to get it done fast, or all routes would be lost.
But that was not the only message he got there.
He received one special message that made him decide to take this action.
