Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality

Chapter 112 Coronation [2]





The rest of the day was quite uneventful, and the same could be said about the rest of the week. Nothing really happened that was out of the ordinary, or outside Silas' schedule.

Silas did a few missions here and there to earn money to pay his rent, while spending the rest of his time either trying to bring out his light magic with Life or training with the Judgement faction.

According to Life, light magic was one of the hardest elements to train. Apparently, his being able to even use healing magic without any real training was a miracle, however, that wasn't really how Silas saw it.

However, Life predicted that it might take him a month or two to even bring out a spark of light mana since that's how long it took the top geniuses on the continent.

So, in response to her information, Silas gave himself two weeks to learn how to use light magic. Silas knew that Archie would become the new commander any day now, and when that happens, the battle for Judgement's crown would begin.

Whether that was a political battle or a battle of strength, it wouldn't matter. Silas felt like he would need the light element soon... Of course, if he didn't get the light element, he always had plan B, and this time, plan B was much easier to implement than plan A.

On another hand, Silas' intel gathering hadn't been as successful as he had imagined it would be.

There were two reasons he had befriended the faction. The first reason was to understand the strengths and weaknesses of their leader. However, it seemed like he had underestimated how incompetent the faction had become since they knew almost nothing about their leader.

Even Seraphina wasn't very helpful when it came to finding out more about Grant, and Silas considered her one of the more competent people in the faction. After all, it seemed like she might be the only one who actually does her job.

Silas couldn't find anything about the armor either, other than the fact that it was strong and belonged to the commander before his death by his hands. 

Silas didn't know why the commander wasn't wearing his armor against Silas, since that would have changed the tide of the fight by a lot, however, he assumed it was simply because the commander didn't think he would need it.

Walking outside of his appartment, Silas began to stretch, however, his attention was quickly caught by a boy who was running past him after coming out of the room beside his.

No... It wasn't just him. Silas could hear a huge commotion coming from the distance, causing him to quickly follow the boy and reach him in an instant.

"AHHH!" The boy screamed out in panic and threw an onyx core right toward Silas.

Silas simply raised a brow and tilted his head slightly, causing the core to pass by him without even touching him.

"Oh crap! Not again! I'm so sorry. I just, I got a little scared. Please don't hurt me!" She boy cowered slightly while Silas looked at him with even more flabbergast in his expression.

"Uhm... You mind telling me where you're going?" Silas asked while retrieving the onyx core with his wind magic.

"Well. They're announcing the new commander soon. I just wanted to watch the ceremony." The boy scratched his cheek and looked down, unwilling to look Silas in the eye.

"Hmm. I see." Silas muttered before grinning.

The grin sent a cold shiver down the boy's spine. He wasn't even looking Silas in that moment, but he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Then, how about we go together?" Silas asked.

The boy looked up with widened eyes, however, there wasn one thing that was itching at him from the back of his mind.

'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'

"What's your name, kid?" Silas asked, making the boy look at Silas one more time and allowing him to get a good view of him.

"Kid?" Suddenly, the boy's confidence skyrocketed as a widening grin appeared on his face.

"Oh... You're the same age as me... I think? You just felt so old when you approached me, but now I see you're a kid too!" The boy looked into Silas' eyes for a moment could began to look even more confused than before.

"I'm older than I look." Silas sighed.

"Oh, oh! I know what you are!

You're a loli!"

"..."

"I heard about people like you! Must be hard being a loli, especially at your age."

"..."

"Come on loli-san. You want to watch the announcement too, right! Let's go!" The boy grabbed the flabbergasted Silas by the arm and began to pull him along for the ride.

Silas' mind, however, was on autopilot as he was trying to understand what just happened.

'D-Did... Did he just call me a loli! What the fuck! WHAT THE FUCK!'

'...'

'...'

'Am I a loli?' Silas finally asked himself after realizing that the boy wasn't technically wrong.

"My name's Alex by the way! What's your's?" Alex asked as he continued to run with Silas by his side.

"S- Game Evergreen." Silas sighed.

"Oh! We're using our full names! Then, my name is Alex Relicer!" Alex smiled with the innocence of a child.

However, just before Silas could awkwardly chuckle at how he suddenly had a new friend, he instantly frowned and looked into the boy's eyes.

'Relicer... I've heard that name before. I can't pinpoint the memory, but I'm certain that I've heard it before.' Silas thought, but by the time he could get his mind out of the rabbit hole he had just thrown himself in, he heard Alex speak again.

"We're here!" Alex shouted.

Focusing on what's in front of him. Silas saw tens of thousands of people gathered around the enormous tree in the middle of the city.

On it was a platform where 5 individuals could be seen standing, each and every one of them wearing their best armor and releasing a pressure that made everyong look at their in awe.

"Ladies and gentlement, boys and girls. Welcome, to coronation of our new commander!" A man Silas had never seen before spoke into a crystal that amplified his voice and made it loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I guess this is where it begins..."
