Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



[Bonus Chapter 1/6]

On the other hand, Nymira didn't look affected by the bloodshed around her one bit. She actually looked pretty casual as she stepped over the guards on the ground, either screaming in pain or simply laying there, unconscious.

Nymira and Alex had their hoods on, while Silas walked around without one.

Many people pointed at him, others ran away, and some children even ran up to him with curiosity in their eyes.

They didn't understand why the adults were running away, but when they walked up to Silas, all he did was smile at them gently before patting their heads.

Nymira, seeing this, could not help but smile, yet Alex simply stayed in the same state as before.

When they finally reached the teleportation hub, Silas looked at it for a moment and smiled at the men who were running it.

"Do you mind if take a turn? We're in a bit of a hurry." Silas smiled.

"U-Uhm... Sure sir. It's on the house." The man stuttered.

"What nonsense. You have a family to feed, right? It's on me." Silas dropped a few gold coins on the man's desk.

The teleportation hub had a circular design.

It was close to the middle of the city and looked like a small platform that one could use as a stage for fighting during one of the light festivals. It was made out of a rock that Silad didn't recognize; however, if his mystic eyes were to be trusted, the rock used was extremely good at conducting mana.

Runes could be seen shining all over the platform. It flickered at times, but remained stable most of the time. The only times it flickered was when someone came or left.

The left side, from where Silas was standing, was where you'd stand if you wanted to go somewhere, while the right side was simply for receiving.

"Where do you want to go, sir?" The man asked with widened eyes as he looked at the gold coins before him.

"Closest city to Diamond Academy." 

"But, sir. You've paid me far too much. You, the young lady, and the young man would only have to pay about 50 silvers each."

"Think of it as a tip." Silas gave him a thumbs-up and walked onto the stage. Nymira and Alex walked behind him and waited for the man to set the coordinates and send them off.

The man quickly put in the coordinates, and the runes began to shine around them. However, just before they could leave, Silas turned his head toward the man and narrowed his eyes.

"Send us anywhere else, and I'll find you myself." 

And just like that, space warped around them, and they vanished.

"Hmm..." A low grunt came from a blond-haired girl. She had silver strands in her hair, but most of it was blonde.

"Good to know you're not dead." A feminine voice she recognized entered her ears, making her widen her eyes in shock.

"Diveen?!" Syra shot up from her bed and looked at the woman beside her. 

The woman looked like she had visibly aged, but one could tell that aging wasn't the thing at fault in this situation.

She looked tired, and, most of all, stressed.

She wore a nun attire similar to the one she had worn back in Uladia, but it was a little different.

It covered her hair fully and was quite baggy to cover most of her body. Though, now, instead of being mostly black with trims of white, its colors were reversed now while the logo of the light academy could be seen on the center of her chest.

Her golden eyes had become less lively in the past six years; however, she did look like she had much more energy than most of the other healers combined.

"You look healthier than ever, my child." Diveen caressed Syra's face for a moment before sighing when the girl didn't say anything.

However, just before she was going to open her mouth again, she felt a tight hug wrap around her before Syra began to weep into Diveens arms.

"It's okay, my child. I'm sure it was hard." She slowly patted the girl and hugged her back.

They remained like that for almost half an hour. No one dared come in when they saw the scene. Every healer there knew what happened, but all they could do was sympathize with the girl.

They had seen it on the other children too. The orange-haired boy looked terrified beyond belief. Every time he heard a slightly loud sound, he would crawl into a ball and rock back and forth.

The other girl, Herla, was doing the best among them, yet, even she was struggling. She was easily frightened. She would get on guard whenever she heard even the quietest sounds, and even until now, she always tended to be quite tense around everyone.

Falco didn't seem too affected himself. He grieved for a few days, but other than that, he was fine. Actually, he was helping Herla get through everything she had gone through.

Her family tried to come every day to support her too, but other than that, they couldn't do anything else.

The last person who was having it hard was Argon, but unlike the rest, he wasn't suffering per se. It was quite the opposite, actually.

All he could feel was rage. 

Not a single person from his family had come to talk to him, but he didn't care. It didn't matter if his family came to him or not. He had already understood that they didn't care about him ever since he was a child, and what was happening right now was nothing compared to what he had to go through in the past.

The reason he was angry was not for himself, but instead, for someone he cared about dearly who had stayed in a coma for almost a week after having been hit by someone she called her brother.

And just when he thought it couldn't get bad enough, the very same person appeared almost a week before in his dorm room...

And the fear he felt that day was beyond anything he had ever felt throughout his entire life.

Thoughts of telling people who the person was went out of his mind, but there was a second set of thoughts that had entered them that day too.

He decided that, he would never feel that kind of fear in his life again.

From that day on, he vowed to gain the strength to never kneel before another person ever again.
