Chapter 58: Lily's question
"After my talk with the Viscount, there is nothing of notice in this town, the only thing would be the Labyrinth.
And since you said that the first time you saw him was at the Labyrinth, it is possible that it had something to do with the Labyrinth," Raze said to Silva as they sat in the office.
"But they have also been moving around town. I sensed them the other day. They are planning something," Silva said.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. There was a barrier forming around the town.
"There is an issue right now, Guild Master," Silva said and got on his feet. Immediately, an adventurer burst through the door, his breathing was heavy, but he tried to still speak.
"Guild Master, about ten cloaked men were found around the town. They activated some sort of magical circle, and now a barrier is forming around the town," the man relayed.
"It makes sense now. They must have been studying the town as well as drawing this circle in order to trap us inside. Then they can go to the Labyrinth for whatever they have to do," Raze deduced.
"It must be very calculated because Lucas is still healing, and all other rank B adventurers are also within this town as well," Raze pointed out again.
"So they ensured that anyone that would relatively be a threat is inside the barrier, and they can move unhindered and do what they want," Silva said.
He looked at Raze, and Raze nodded. The both of them dashed out of the office and headed into town.
The streets were filled with people, all looking at the barrier that had formed over the town.
Silva took out his sword and leaped high into the sky, slashing the barrier. It rippled violently but didn't break or crack.
Silva landed back, he looked at Raze and shook his head. "It is tough, too tough," he said.
But this time, all his minds were working in parallel to find a way out of the situation, and in less than five seconds, a general idea was made.
Silva would use Dragon's Eye on the barrier and find the weakest point, then he would gather his strength for a powerful attack.
"I have a plan that may work, Sir Raze. Get the adventurers and the Viscount's personal army ready. Once the barrier breaks, we will all be heading to the Labyrinth," Silva said.
Raze didn't question Silva, he simply nodded and moved along. He ran as fast as he could.
Silva activated his Dragon Eyes and took a look at the barrier. He ran around the town, watching for the weak point, until he finally found the place where all the energy converged.
He took out his sword and sent a full-power stab to the exact point. The entire circuit of the barrier and the formation collapsed and imploded, causing the entire barrier to break down.
Silva didn't go to search for Raze or anyone else. He started running towards the Labyrinth at full speed.
That place belonged to him now. He couldn't let someone just waltz in.
When he got to the Labyrinth door, he saw the mutilated bodies of the adventurers that had come out to the Labyrinth.
It was not a pretty sight as their innards were slashed out and their blood painted the ground. Their eyes were wide open, frozen in a state of fear and panic.
That meant the people that killed them surprised them and then dominated them. Silva walked around, closing the eyes of those that still had full heads.
After that, he walked to the door, taking one last look back, he entered the Labyrinth.
As soon as he stepped foot in the Labyrinth, he teleported to the throne room. As soon as he appeared, he was jumped by Elsa in a bear hug.
"Daddy!" she yelled out as she grabbed him.
"Daddy? That's a new one," he said to her.
"I'm trying out new ways to call you, that's all," she said.
Silva caressed her like a child and headed for the throne. The guardians that were there all bowed to him as he passed by.
He sat on the throne with Elsa on his lap, and then he spoke.
"I am very sure you already know that some set of people came into the Labyrinth. Is there a way for us to monitor them?" he asked.
"Of course, Master," Drake said and snapped his fingers, and every floor of the Labyrinth appeared in the air in holographic form.
So many views to one single floor, nothing could possibly hide from his eyes, all fifty floors.
He saw a view that had people in cloaks walking, and then he pointed to it.
"That one." The hologram came closer and became bigger.
The cloaked people were about a hundred, all armed, and they looked strong at the very least.
"So you all are the ones that caused all this havoc," Silva said.
He looked up at the guardians and spoke.
"These people have genuinely made me angry. They trapped my town and killed several of the adventurers from my town.
I don't know what they want in this Labyrinth, but I want them to get one thing for sure: pain, suffering, and torture.
I want all hundred of them to feel despair, and I want their leaders to all beg for death but not get it.
So I'm asking all of you for the help I need to do this and to make them suffer very much," Silva said.
"You don't even need to ask, my Lord. We will carry out your will," Drake said.
"I hope I'll get a reward after this," Jade said and licked her lips, sending chills up Silva's spine.
"Yes, anything that I can give, as long as it doesn't require my body, just for safety," Silva said.
She frowned and stuck out her tongue.
'So she wanted my body. Scary,' Silva thought.
"If I may ask, am I allowed to torture them how I want?" Lily suddenly asked.
The expressions of all the guardians turned to dread, even Elsa let out a nervous chuckle.
