Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



The disposal of the body didn't actually take very long.

All they had to do was bring the bodies outside before Silas would control the Earth underneath the pile of bodies and crush them into a ball of earth and corpses.

They all took a group of corpses and took them to certain locations that Silas had circled after extensively analyzing the map of the city. When he had first come to the city, he had tried to find several areas without many people in them, and so he simply took the bodies there.

They all grabbed a few bodies each and tried to run there as quickly as possible, but that's when Silas realized something else.

Looking at Alex, Silas couldn't help but raise a brow.

'He had taken note of the fact that Alex was a mage, but were mages really this weak?'

Silas had seen Life, Diveen, and even his grandmother shooting around battlefields like it was nothing. Sure, Diveen knew how to use toki, but that was beside the point!

"I'll carry them." Silas sighed and created a sphere of water a few times larger than him. It made him a much larger target, however, if he were to float it high above him, it would most likely not catch any attention.

Nymira couldn't help but look at her own share of corpses before looking at Silas.

"Oh thank god! They stank so bad! I almost puked right then and there!" He shouted with relief.

"Can't you take mine too?" Nymira asked with more curiosity than begging in her voice.

She didn't seem fazed by the smell of the corpses. They were also pretty bloated and disgusting, yet she didn't bat an eye.

"I can create a spell capable of destroying an entire district of this city in a few seconds, but sadly, controlling spells from far away isn't really one of my strong suits." Silas shrugged.

"Why?" Nymira asked.

"Because it doesn't work like that. Magic circles are designed to shoot spells in a certain direction. Controlling a large mass like that is pretty hard."

"But when you fought your father, you create a huge boulder of earth above you, right? I remember people talking about it." Nymira asked.

'Sh*t... She caught me.' Silas looked to the side.

Sure, one of the weaknesses of magic circles was the fact that they were designed to shoot. Actually, reaching the amethyst core allows one to release their magic aura which can then be controlled by the user to create spells far away.

However, Silas, right now, wasn't creating a spell far away. He was creating a spell right under his feet that was controlling something far away. Silas thought that her lack of knowledge about spells would be enough to deceive her, but that didn't seem like it would be the case anymore.

There was a reason he was doing this in the first place. There was a reason he had brought Alex along despite how useless he might seem, and there was a reason Silas was making Nymira hold some of the corpses.I think you should take a look at

He was testing both of them, yet it was not the same test.

For Nymira, Silas was testing how far she would be able to go without buckling. She had murdered over two dozen individuals in self-defense, but that didn't mean she had the stomach for murder.

Silas could probably kill an innocent man and not think about it the next day. He had let half of Uladia disappear so he could kill Aleck, the commander. He saw it as a necessary sacrifice, so he didn't mind.

Of course, in his past life, he had committed a lot of horrible sins without batting an eye, yet even though he still didn't feel guilt for what he had done, he liked to think that he was no longer that person anymore.

Nymira was different though. She was a child. Murder does not come naturally to anyone, let alone a child.

She'd have to be a complete psychopath to not feel anything from killing an innocent person, but right now, Silas was trying to see if she could stomach getting rid of the bodies that were technically still her responsibility.

His theory was that she kept the corpses in the training room so she wouldn't have to deal with the fact that she was the one who murdered them, yet after seeing how seamlessly she was holding a large bunch of them on her back, he began to doubt that.

'Maybe she really didn't know how to get rid of them... Or maybe she's become desensitzed?' Silas thought.

Alex, on the other hand, had a different test, and his test was technically already complete.

Silas wanted to see how trustworthy Alex was. Of course, Alex was just a nobody in their eyes. Hell, to Alex, they were strangers too.

However, Silas knew that there was something different about him the moment he looked into his eyes.

He was also one of the only people to resist the brainwashing for as long as he did despite not being nearly as powerful. Sure, his core was awakened, but he was barely a garnet core.

Silas had a feeling he would be useful to him, and right now, all he was doing was trying to find out if his gut feeling was right.

"Sil-... Game. I don't mind holding them. I just... I just want you to be honest with me, okay?" Nymira asked while looking at the ground with a pained expression.

"Alright..." Silas sighed.

It didn't take them much longer to reach their designated spot. After reaching it, they piled all the bodies.

'He already knows that I have fire magic, and now he knows I have water magic. I could burn these corpses to make sure they're never linked back to us, but I'd rather keep one or two secrets to myself.' Silas looked at Alex with a sidelong glance before using earth magic to uproot the ground under the corpses and crush them in an instant.
