Chapter 189 Vengeance [2] - The Fear of God



Chapter 189  Vengeance [2] - The Fear of God

It had an enormous barrier around it; However, it didn\'t seem like that bothered Silas.

He could be seen flying far above the enormous structure, but the thing before him was far more than just that.

The structure itself expanded out in five directions. It was essentially the middle of a city since markets, shops, and many more things could be seen around it. The streets were bustling, but that\'s not where it ended.

A few more large streets could be seen going in all 5 directions, and if you looked down those streets, you would have seen 5 more cities far away. Each road seemed to lead to a city, and even those were protected by some kind of barrier.

"Hmm. How should I do this?" Silas thought with a frown.

He could sense many strong energies within the academy. This was the light academy, after all, one of the big four academies of Egiladore.

"I\'m not sure if I can take all of them on." Silas scratched his chin for a moment before shrugging.

"Conceal my presence," Silas spoke, and in the next second, everything that indicated that he was in the air disappeared. The only thing someone could use to find him was their visual input, but even then, it would be significantly hard to do so.

His figure quickly flickered and appeared on the ground, having gone through the barrier like it was nothing. He was not wearing the same clothes he wore when he came back from killing all those assassins as well as their leaders.

Those clothes snuggly fit him as if they had been created for some of his size despite him being significantly taller than last time. At the same time, he hadn\'t taken off his armor. It was still on him, under all his clothes.

Walking through the streets, Silas avoided most people without a thought, while they constantly bumped into his, as if they didn\'t see him.

They would always turn around to apologize or get angry, but Silas was long gone when they did.

Within a few minutes, he stood in front of the academy\'s main building. Or at least that\'s what he assumed it was.

It was one of the largest buildings he\'s ever seen, and from what his Mystic eyes picked up, the building had almost everything an academy needed.

No... It had even more.

It was like one of those hotels that would have everything from restaurants to arenas. Classrooms to dorms, but he doubted that most people would live in the academy building itself.

It was most likely a place where the richer folk would live, while the rest would have to live in one of the cities far away.

"If Eclipse described him correctly..." Silas\' eyes were narrowed as he searched the entire building with his eyes until he found what he was looking for.

With a frown, he began walking toward it, and in less than 10 minutes, he was in front of a door.

*Knock Knock*

There was no answer.

*Knock Knock*

"Go away!" A voice inside shouted, but Silas didn\'t heed his words and unlocked the door.

\'Locked...\' Silas thought before the sound of a crack rang out, and the door opened like it was nothing.

"I said go away-" The man paused momentarily when he realized he didn\'t recognize the person entering the room.

"Who are you? You\'re not a student... You\'re at least 18. Why are you here? How did you even get here?" The teacher asked.

For some reason he couldn\'t feel the man\'s presence before him. His presence was so minimal that it felt like the man would disappear if he looked away for even half a second.

"You\'re Skylark kid\'s teacher, right?" Silas asked.

"Huh?" The teacher shivered, but he quickly got angry. "What does that matter to you! You know what? I\'m calling the guards. Who do you think you are?"

"Take off the concealment." Silas whispered, and his presence returned.

When that happened, something happened.

The man\'s eyes looked at Silas\' hair before staring at his green eyes.

And then, his eyes moved forward to the black armor that could be seen peeking above Silas\' collar, covering a portion of his neck.

"Y-You\'re." The man\'s eyes shone with so many emotions that even Silas couldn\'t help but be surprised.

"J-J-Judgement!" He shouted while falling from the chair onto his ass.

"P-Please don\'t hurt me! I did nothing wrong! I swear it wasn\'t me! Please! I have a family! I have people waiting for me at home."

"So did the kids you sent to their deaths." Silas said while taking a step forward.

His presence flared, becoming almost suffocating in an instant.

"It wasn\'t my idea. It was the S-Skylarks. I didn\'t want to do it but-"

"Silence."

The one word made the man bite his tongue and remain silent.

Yet, Silas could still hear the whimpering.

Walking toward him, Silas stopped mere centimeters away from him and kneeled down.

He could not help but realize that the man before him had soiled his pants from fear.

\'A solid-sapphire core and you\'re still soiling your pants? Pathetic.\' Silas sneered.

"Now... We can do this the easy way, and we can do this the hard way.

The choice is yours.

"I did it..." The teacher was in front of the vice principal, looking at him with a glare that might have drilled holes through his body.

"I gave the kids a hard mission that I knew they couldn\'t do, and now one of them is dead. I was at fault. B-But..."

"But?" The vice principal asked. It was a man with a full head of head of silver hair and silver eyes that glowed like two moons. He wore sapphire robes; however, just like many master mages at his age, he couldn\'t go further than that.

He was at the peak, but he couldn\'t get through that last bottleneck he had been trying to get past for the last 20 years.

"So you\'re trying to tell me that, without a reason, you decided to kill a group of kids?" The silver-haired old man asked with a piercing glare.

"N-No..." The man gulped. He didn\'t want to say it, but when he remembered back to what happened just a few minutes earlier, his were quickly filled with dread...

No... They were filled with the truest form of fear.

"Sir Skylark... He asked me to do it." The man said with a dreadful shuddering voice.

"Did he threaten you? Maybe your family too?"

"He offered me money." The man said, causing the vice principal\'s eyes to shine with rage.

"You possibly killed many of the brightest students for money!?" He asked while slamming his fist on the desk, but the man didn\'t react.

His eyes were filled with fear, but he didn\'t look scared of him.

"We\'ve sent people to the town the students went to." An assistant principal walked through the door and spoke in a slightly monotone voice, yet one could tell that was only the case because he didn\'t want to show his anger.

"Good." The vice principal said before turning toward the former teacher.

"You better hope to god that not a single hair on their body is harmed, or I\'ll have you executed myself." The vice principal sneered and quickly left the room.

"What did you do to that man? He looks like he\'s had the fear of god put into him." the assistant principal commented.

"I didn\'t do anything... But he wouldn\'t have come forward on his own like this unless he was scared of something." The vice principal commented.

"Something that scares him more than death itself?" The assistant principal felt a little skeptical.

"My boy..." The vice principal looked at the younger man beside him.

"There are things in this world that are much more terrifying than death. I can tell you that from experience." The vice principal spoke solemnly while the assistant principal felt a shudder go through his spine.

\'Something more terrifying than death? I wonder what that could be...\' He thought to himself before shrugging and putting on an armor set, and walking onto the academy\'s teleportation hub.
