After deciding that the elf empire was the location they would head to, Silva transformed into his full dragon form. The others climbed on his back, and he immediately took to the air, but not before he unsummoned his entire abyssal army from wherever they were.
As for the abominations, he allowed them to roam free—they were not his problem now.
Silva decided not to take any chances, so he summoned all his clones and had them transform and fly beside him, creating a beautiful dragon formation.
Three clones flew in front of him in a triangle formation, blocking the flowing air as they flew. Silva wanted them to fly at top speed, and for that, he needed this formation.
People like Dawn, Fang, and Gallan could not take the wind force that would hit them if this formation was not in place.
Silva flew through the air as fast as he could. This was the first time since he came to this world that he flew without hindrance or fear for the person on his back.
As he flew, Silva decided to do something now. The goddess had fixed the system, or so she said, and this time she gave it to him unlimited, so he wanted to help himself to a few things.
“System stats,” he called in his mind.
Name: Silva (Evolved)
Race: Dark Dragon (80%), Human (20%)
Legacy: Dark Dragon Legacy (Awakened)
Magical Affinities: Summoning, Darkness, Abyss Magic
Mana: 6,000,000
EXP: 10,000/4,000,000
SP: 1,000,000
Level: 4 (Evolved)
Strength: 65,000
Defense: 65,000
Speed: 65,000
Agility: 65,000
Intelligence: 73,240
Free Stat Points: 21,000
He stared at his stats. This was what he had become, the level that he had grown to. This was him after over fourteen years of being on this planet, Argon.
But this was not his full strength. It came nowhere close to what he was capable of, and he knew this. He had always wanted to hold himself back in his own mind palace—play it safe, don’t overdo it.

But this time, he would be overdoing it. He had to overdo it. It was time to show that he was the overpowered dark dragon.
“System, I want to be able to regenerate my mana faster, far faster than I could before,” Silva said to the system.
The system went silent for a while, but then it responded.
[Mana Flow Optimization: This technique will increase your mana regeneration ability by 10 times. It’s a passive skill that runs on its own.
Cost: 500,000 SP]
Silva saw the technique and immediately didn’t waste any time—he bought it. It was exactly what he needed.
[Mana Flow Optimization] 10x
Silva loved to see the 10x sign next to his technique. It meant he was back. He was back in the game. Rather than a tenfold increase in his mana regeneration, he got a hundredfold.
There was a reason why he chose to do this, and that was because of his strongest asset—his clone army.
Now that he could regenerate his mana at an exponential rate, he could have his clones create clones, and with each set of clones, there was a tenfold strength increase.
He didn’t know how strong the demons were, but he was ready for them, and he meant that with everything he had.
While he was distracted by the system and the technique he was acquiring, they were already getting close to the elf empire and could see the forest wall in the distance.
“Master, we are almost there,” Drake told Silva. Silva looked up and saw the forest walls. He decided to wait until he contacted Amber.
“Amber!” Silva tried to reach her through a telepathic connection, and it worked.
“Silva, is that you? It’s so nice to hear from you. All of us have been worried ever since the demon seal was broken,” Amber said.
“You already know?” Silva asked.
“My father is the emperor; he would surely know if something like that happened. No one was expecting this.
We thought you might somehow be at the center of it. It made us worry for your life,” Amber explained.
“It will take more than demons to actually kill me, Amber, but the situation is dire. The elf empire might be the only place that can help the situation,” Silva said.
“I don’t understand. How?” she asked.
“You have the Tree of Creation—the World Tree, the most powerful thing in this world. If we manage to help you tap into it slightly, we might be able to create a barrier that even the demons can’t penetrate.
For now, my idea is to play the waiting game until we understand their strength and know what to do. I’ll need you to speak to your father and tell him what I said. I’m headed to you now,” Silva said, but suddenly, something caught his eye.
There was an army of flying figures in the sky, headed toward the elf empire, moving at crazy speed. There were also some unusual beasts on the ground, rushing toward the empire.
Silva looked closer, and what he saw made his heart skip a beat. It was the demons—an army of them was headed for the elf empire.
He had never seen one before, but he knew the moment he saw them. He could tell immediately.
“Amber, plans have changed! Run to your father now! Tell him the demons are headed for you guys—they are coming with a massive army. Go now!” Silva yelled.
Amber heard his words and didn’t know what to say. She immediately ran as Silva yelled. She knew Silva would not lie about something like this.
“Master, it seems they beat us to it first,” Drake said.
“They are after something. They wouldn’t have come so quickly if they didn’t have a plan,” Lily said.
“The World Tree. They want the World Tree. Since all the other races are no longer their puppets, they want to take control of the tree and make new puppets.
They want to prepare an army before the Celestials come,” Silva said.
“If we let them get to the World Tree, that would be the complete end,” Lily said.
“We have to head there,” Silva said.
