Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality

Chapter 199 Plans [3] - I'll Do It



Silas had said those words with so much nonchalance that it made it feel like killing was nothing to him, and in a way, they knew that too.

Silas might not have been a cold-blooded murderer who killed everyone on site, but they knew that there was a side of him that he hid from them.

A side that wouldn\'t mind killing every single one of them without batting an eye. Despite not outwardly showing it, it was something they grew to learn over the last few years that they got to know him.

"I second this motion," Jessica spoke without a second\'s hesitation.

"You second all his motions." Death sighed from he sighed with a tinge of disappointment.

"What\'s the best course of action here? We need to know what\'s happening in order to stop it. Plus, what if the attack is from the inside? The academy won\'t let us do anything, and so far they said that have it under control." Life spoke up with a tinge of worry.

"We need a way to get into the academy..." Archie spoke before he raised a brow and looked at a certain someone.

And when he did, everyone on the table slowly looked toward that very person with an expression that made Silas narrow his eyes.

"Why\'s everyone staring at me?" Silas asked while cocking his head to the side.

"I mean... You do look like youngest. And legally speaking-"

Silas quickly realized what they were looking at him for and outright refused.

"Not happening." 

"Oh, come on. Stop being such a downer." 

"I refuse to be educated by a group of morons who were hired to teach brainless children!"

"Yeah, but, you\'re not there for the education, are you? You\'re there to give us information on the attack." Archie tried to argue.

"Fuck you!"

"Silas... This is an order."

"Fuck your order!" 

"..."

"Yeah. That\'s what I thought. Send Nymira or Alex. They fit the role perfectly. They are super trustworthy too!" Silas said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, but I\'m not asking them, am I?" Archie asked with a threatening tone of voice.

"I\'m willing to fight you over this decision." Silas also narrowed his eyes and released a thread of his killing intent.

"Are you really? Because I can think of a million reasons, this might be a bad idea for you." Archie released his own killing intent that quickly clashed with Silas\'.

"Alright, alright. Let\'s deal with this like adults." Death stood up, making both of them lessen their auras.

"Though, I do agree with Archie here. You are clearly the best candidate. Plus, the academy doesn\'t care about your faction. They only care whether or not you break the academy\'s rules or not. If you don\'t, you\'re more than fine." Death explained in a calm and collected manner.

"Nope. Not going to school again." Silas crossed his arms and leaned back.

"You\'ll only have to be there for a month or two. It\'s only until the tournament starts. Plus, you can choose which academy you would like to enroll in." Death said with a subtle smile.

"Hmm... A month huh." Silas narrowed his eyes slightly as a few thoughts went through his mind.

"The academy had a pretty big library, right?" Silas asked.

"Well, I heard they all use the same library, but it\'s so big that it feels like an academy of its own." Jessica chimed in from the side.

"If that\'s true then..." Silas paused again and looked at the ceiling.

There had been quite a few things that he hadn\'t been able to find answers to, as well as other things that he simply did not have enough information for.

One of those things was runesmithing. After learning everything he could from Virack, he quickly found himself in a hurdle. Without a master to teach him, he would be stuck in the same hurdle for quite a long time, which was simply something he could not stand.

His hunger for knowledge had been begging him to find out more. To him, it felt like he had been left on a cliffhanger and would have to imagine out the rest of the story all by himself. He could use the information he got from Virack, but it didn\'t amount to much.

Virack had his expertise, and despite having quite a few disciples, if Silas were honest, the man was not a good teacher. In a way, Virack reminded him of how bad Lochras was at teaching him how to use a sword.

But it wasn\'t only that. A few things were making him feel slightly crazy, and those things were his understanding of spells. 

Technically speaking, he was the strongest mage in all of Darkless. There wasn\'t a single person in Darkless that had the ability to use tier 5 spells, and therefore, there wasn\'t a single person with the books to learn it.

Silas had created his own tier-5 spells, but since he hadn\'t seen anyone else create any more in all his journies, he was finding it difficult to make a proper one.

Even towns and cities didn\'t have that information. That kind of information was usually well guarded, so almost no one knew what a tier-5 spell looked like unless they had seen it in use before.

\'Maybe this is a good thing? Not knowing what the spells look like might just help me further my goal of no longer relying on the magic circle. Though, this does link to runesmithing since I don\'t actually know what runes higher than the 4th tier look like... The only ones I know are the ones in the life equation, but the people of this world don\'t use its runes. I can use it, but for what? To create better healing spells? I already have enough of that right now. 

Knowing and understanding only allowed me to understand the runes I see before me. It doesn\'t help so much with creating them... I could do it, but I don\'t have enough time... I need to get stronger quickly and knowledge for that.\' Silas went into deep thought for several minutes, not saying a single word the entire time.

They all waited for what he was going to say, and in the end, all he could do was let out a deep sigh before looking at Archie with a slightly resentful look.

\'I guess I can learn about alchemy too. That wouldn\'t be so bad, right?\' Silas thought before opening his mouth and answering-

"I\'ll do it."
