Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality

Chapter 106 Road To Becoming Judgement [6] - Seraphina's Rage





"So... You weren't joking when you said you'd fight me?"

Silas shuddered, but quickly gulped and looked like he had steeled his nerves.

"Yes..." Silas replied.

"I see... Then, I wish you luck." Grant smiled and stepped aside, letting Silas walk past him without stopping him.

When Silas was far enough, Grant narrowed his eyes and turned around, just to see his right-hand man kneeling on the ground and looking his leader in the eyes.

"What is it?" Grant asked with a raised brow.

"Are you just going to let him go like that?" The man asked.

"Why would I not let him go? He increased the morale of my troops. If he wants to fight me, then that is his choice. Though, I do hope that he will change his mind after training with my soldiers. It feels like he may be of use to me."

"..."

"..."

"What is it?" Grant sighed and asked the question again.

"There's something off about that kid. I don't understand it, but it feels like he's hiding something." The man muttered, yet his leader simply laughed in his face.

"You think he's hiding something? Let me tell you something." Grant stepped forward and grabbed his right-hand man by his jaw, picking him off the floor and forcing him to look into his eyes.

"In front of power, secrets mean nothing. I have the Sentinal armor that worthless commander of ours refused to use. The armor alone makes me the third strongest general." Grant spoke with a voice that was filled with arrogance and pride.

"If he has a secret, I will beat him out of it. Do you understand? Now get out of my site before I'm forced to get a new subordinate who does not question the orders of his leader!" Grant threw the man on the ground and didn't even throw him a second glance while walking away.

The man didn't complain either. He knew something like this would happen if he spoke up about his suspicion, yet he could not stand idle as his leader walked into a trap.

However, now all he could do was wait and hope that Grant wouldn't do anything stupid, and ensure that he wouldn't end up like the previous Judgement.

After Silas left the neighborhood, he looked down at his shaking hands with a passive stare. However, he didn't stop shaking.

Well, not immediately at least.

Silas quickly put up his hoodie and walked through the dark. As he walked, he took a random turn down one of the alleyways before taking another turn and ending up in an even darker alleyway.

Suddenly, the eyes of several individuals landed on him.

There were about 5 of them sitting around. One of them was playing with a dagger, while the others sat around and talked to one another.

Though, Silas' eyes couldn't help but fall upon a girl among them who had her head down and had squeezed herself into one of the corners while one of the men tried to flirt with her.

'None of my business...' Silas thought and walked passed them. They didn't really mind him since he didn't look particularly wealthy. Plus, he was a child so they didn't expect much.

However, one of the main reasons they didn't touch him was the fact that his body was constantly releasing a pressure that made their instincts flare, telling them to stay away from him...

And that's what they did.

'None of my business...' Silas thought again, not turning around at all the entire time. 

'Though, I cannot say the same for you.' A light smirk stretched from the corners of Silas' lips as he glanced back.

At that moment, he saw a blue-haired woman drop down from one of the rooftops, landing on the ground before grabbing the man harassing the woman, and slamming his head into the brick wall.

"Oi! What the f-"

Before the man could finish his sentence, he felt a powerful punch send him several meters back before also slamming the back of his head into another brick wall.

The rest began to run, but the blue-haired woman quickly hunted them down, either knocking them out or incapacitating them by attacking their legs and making it extremely hard for them to move.

"Why didn't you do anything!" The blue-haired woman turned to Silas while letting the other woman run to safety.

"It's not my job to protect this city, Seraphina." Silas chuckled.

"You have the power to save her, and you wanted to become one of us. We uphold the law, and you had the opportunity to do that... Why didn't you!" Seraphina stepped forward, her face finally visible now that she was out of the shadows.

Of course, Silas could see her the entire time due to his mystic eyes, but she didn't have to know that.

"The real question I need to ask is why you were following me." Silas tilted his head.

"...I wanted to make sure you got home safe." She muttered, caught off guard by the retort.

"Oh really? You said it yourself. I had enough power to save that woman. You probably heard about the rumors of me killing a few assassins and a python on my own... Yet you still followed me to what? Protect me?" Silas asked with a condescending tone.

"...That's beside the point." She tried to argue, yet Silas quickly shut her down.

"No... It is exactly the point. You wanted me to save her, but that was your job. No... It's your faction's job to help these people, yet I've not seen them do a single thing since I've come to this city." Silas sneered.

"You don't understand..."

"I understand just fine. You, people, are pathetic. You people can't even uphold the law. And you know what's worse, you expect others to do it for you..." Silas stepped close, aggressively pointing at her while pushing her back at the same time.

"What do you get paid for, huh? To have power? To order people around? Or to keep this fucking city safe..." Silas roared while continuing to tap on her chest with his index finger, pushing her back every time.

"That's why I'm becoming Judgement." Silas spoke with utmost confidence as she finally hit the wall behind her.

"I will judge the city, and I will make it better. I will make it a haven without criminals... I'm going to make it a haven to every run away out there.

"..."

"But you wanted that, didn't you?" Silas finally took a step back before quickly turning around and placing his hands behind his back.

"You wanted me to become Judgement from the moment we met, and that's why you asked Archie to make me Judgement... Am I right?" Silas asked before turning to her one last time, just to see her eyes widen like saucers while looking at him.
