Chapter 543 - 543: Come a bit closer

Three people were facing him, all clad in full-on armour. Each of them had one circle behind them, meaning that they were Demi-gods.

'Why the hell are there Demi-gods here?' Silva wondered.

They all had on helmets that matched their armour, but Silva could sense a lot of divine energy coming from them. It was clear that they used it to protect themselves from the Abyss energy and stop the madness from getting to them.

He had not expected to come across anyone from outside here. He wondered who they were and what they were doing here.

"Who are you?" Silva asked outright.

One of the figures raised a brow and looked at him. "We should be the ones asking you. You do not seem to be from the Abyss, so you must have come from outside." The one in the centre said. He looked Silva up and down as if trying to figure out who Silva was exactly.

Silva felt their gaze on him. He wanted to get out of here and continue what he had come here to do, but he had a feeling that this would not be ending soon.

"If you are not willing to tell me who you are, then I'll be leaving now," Silva said and turned around, only for them to surround him fast.

'Yeah, I knew it. It is never easy. They always have to find a way to make hunts difficult and make me suffer more than I want to.'

"What do you want?" Silva asked.

"We are from the empire's army and were sent to scout the territory of the Mobydicks, only to now come and see someone take down an awakened Mobydick.

We cannot allow you to leave until we know what or who you are." They stated, and they were convinced of doing just that.

Silva heaved a deep sigh. "The empire already has people running around the Abyss?" He asked.

"We are only in the outskirts of the Abyss, where weaker monsters and awakened monsters roam mostly. The empire is trying to secure as many bases in the Abyss as possible, and that requires us to know every single thing that happens in that area.

That's why we have to understand who you are. Please do not force our hands when it comes to this, or it will not end well for you." They explained to Silva as best as they could.

Silva heard all that they wanted to say, but he was not listening to them at the moment. He wanted to get out of here and simply continue his level-up.

He looked at each of them for a few seconds and then drew a deep breath, his lungs growing in size. He let the breath out with all his strength as black flames rushed out of his mouth, and he spun around, creating a massive circle of flames that forced all of them back.

He then flapped his wings and shot up fast.

"If you want to trap me, then be faster and stronger than me."

The three Demi-gods looked up and shot after him.

"We should be careful. We did not prepare to battle the Abyss for this long," one of them said as they chased.

"Yeah, we have to ensure we don't burn through too much divine energy and not have a way back."

"Hey, concentrate on me," Silva said from above with a sword in his hand as he slashed down, and a massive flame arc ripped through the air. The three were forced to separate to dodge it.

One pulled out a chain, and on the top of the chain was a metal ball. He spun the chain like a vortex, and it lit ablaze with a blue flame. Then he attacked, hurling the ball at him. The ball split into more than twenty flaming balls connected to chains, heading for Silva.

'What is it? An illusion? Real?'

Silva tried to analyse fast. He decided to block it all. He wrapped his wings around him, and the attacks slammed into him. Each ball landed and sounded like a small explosion, forcing him back through the Abyss.

'So they all landed? That's pretty neat,' Silva thought.

Silva opened his wings, only to see the chains had spread wide like a net and were all coming down on him. They wrapped around him completely and stopped his movements.

"Get him!" The one with the chain yelled, and the other two moved. One took out a scythe that looked far too futuristic, and the other took out a sword. They attacked fast, and their weapons came close to hitting Silva.

"Alright, enough of this," Silva said and made a semi-transformation. He broke out of the binds and flew high into the air. He looked down and unleashed a barrage of attacks. Flame arcs ripped through the air, heading towards them.

The one with the chain flew up and spun his chain. It created a defence that took every attack, and when the attacks ended, the one with the scythe moved fast and slashed. A massive golden slash ripped through the air.

Silva flew back and to the side. He managed to evade the attack, but as he turned around, he saw the one with the sword coming down with a powerful slash. Silva blocked the attack. The collision cast a massive shockwave that ripped through the Abyss. Silva and the Demi-god were knocked back. Both parties locked onto each other again, and Silva flew in fast, going in for the attack.

The other two refused to allow it to go on with only the two of them, so they rushed in at the same time, wanting to have a piece of Silva.

'They are attacking all at the same time. I'll split all my minds into groups of three and handle each of them so I can keep up.'

He gave the instructions and immediately got into fighting, dodged a swing, changed stance and used his sword to wrap around it.

"Come a bit closer."
