[Penalty: destruction of your soul]
This was unusual. Silva had no other way to calm the situation he had just found himself in aside from unusual.
The system, for some reason, just gave him a mission with high rewards that would make his mouth water, and also a crazy penalty that would freeze his heart.
There was no stopping to think; there was no point in even thinking about refusing. This was a do-or-die situation.
To that end, he changed the direction of his blade, cleanly lopping off the head of the man who was first.
He stopped after that. He felt a slight unease about just killing someone, but it evaporated almost immediately. That was definitely done by the legacy.
The bandits stopped when they saw one of their men fall to the ground dead.
Silva, on the other hand, got his first notification for killing a human.
[You have killed a human, 1000 Exp 500 Sp] x10
[First human killed, Special reward 5000 Exp, 5000 SP, 20 free stat points] x10
[Level up, 2 free stat points.]
Silva smiled when he saw the results. He looked up at all the bandits as Exp, rather than humans.
For one sole reason, killing a human gave him the highest EXP he had reached from a single being.
And right here before him was a ton of EXP. He would be able to get to level 40 at this rate.
The bandits charged at Silva in rage because he had killed one of theirs, but Silva’s speed was too much, and in less than five minutes, nineteen bandits had been killed.
Their blood covered the ground, creating a bloody sight. The guards who had been watching this whole thing shivered in fright as they saw the monster standing on the corpses with a beat-up bandit in his hand.
Silva decided that he would not kill the last one and that they would question him first.
During this battle, Silva had leveled up so much that he got to level thirty-eight. His free stat points had reached over a thousand.
He dragged the bandit towards the carriage and threw him to the ground. The guards subconsciously stepped back when Silva was near them.
What sight could be more scary than a twelve-year-old killing humans like they were nothing? It sent chills into their hearts.
But Silva could not be bothered; his legacy had a tight seal on his emotions and would not allow him to be reluctant to kill.
“Baron Ezra, I’ve taken care of the bandits,” Silva said from outside.
“Yes, I know. We watched the whole thing,” the baron said and opened the carriage door. He came out, and his eyes lingered on Silva for far longer than they should have.
Ray and Fay had also watched this brutal scene, and their legs gave out. They refused to come out, or better still, they couldn’t come out.
Silva grabbed the bandit, who was stricken with fear, and looked into his eyes. The bandit shivered like a naked person on ice.
“Who sent you? I’ll ask this only once,” Silva said.
The bandit had no thoughts of resisting, but as he opened his mouth to talk, his head exploded, splattering blood and body parts everywhere, including on Silva’s face.
[Mission Complete]
[Rewards: level up, 20 free stat points, 3000 SP, S-ranked skill]
[Level up, 2 free stat points] x10
[Level up, 2 free stat points] x10
Silva was happy that he took this quest, because now he was at level 40, with a shitload of free stat points to distribute.
Silva used Mana to rid himself of the blood on his body. He then changed his clothes to ones that were in his inventory. It was flashy, and his clothes were changed.
“Oh, was that an item box skill?” the baron asked.
“Yes, something like that,” Silva replied.
“You are always full of surprises,” the baron said.
Since they weren’t able to get any useful information as to who sent them, it was time to leave.
The baron ordered the guards to gather the corpses in one place. Then the guard with earth magic dug a hole, and they poured the corpses into it and lit it on fire.
After they finished, everyone boarded their carriage and continued, but all the carriages were quiet, and the reason was one person: Silva.
The way he tore down humans like they were nothing gave everyone the chills and reminded them that they were weak.
If Silva decided, this whole convoy would simply vanish.

On the other hand, Silva was enjoying the quiet as he started editing his stats. It was time to use all that he got to get stronger.
He started with the first thing, and that was to add all the stat points he got.
**Name:** Silva
**Race:** Human (50%), Dark Dragon (50%)
**Legacy:** Dark Dragon Legacy (Awakened)
**Magical Affinities:** Summoning, Darkness, Abyss Magic
**Mana:** 500,000

**Level:** 40
**Strength:** 370
**Defense:** 370
**Speed:** 370
**Agility:** 370
**Intelligence:** 370
**Free stat points:** 1500
He had a lot of stat points, and now it was time to share them out.
He decided to share it equally by adding 300 to all his stats.
**Strength:** 670
**Defense:** 670
**Speed:** 670
**Agility:** 670
**Intelligence:** 670
**Free stat points:** 0
Silva felt his power increase. It was an addictive feeling; whenever he added his stat points, he always got it.
Just from this bandit battle, he had become twice as strong. He wondered how strong he would be if he used the Minotaur’s rage or if he used the joker of the abyss.
While he was getting happy with his strength, he remembered that person who forced Mike’s transformation.
“I have to get stronger fast,” he said to himself.
Now that he was done with his stats, it was time to check out the S-ranked skill that he had gotten.
[True Clone (S ranked): This is a special skill that allows you to create a clone. The clone has a hundred percent of your power and your intelligence. Only one clone can be made at a time.] x10
