Chapter 198 Plans [2]



Some simply didn't want to work anymore, and the injury was a good reason to stop. He knew they would return to work if he did heal them. He was certain that if he did that, a worse fate would fall upon them.

Those who wanted to be healed usually went to Life or her disciples, but to heal such an injury, they usually took a very long time—half a year to even a year.

At first, Silas didn't understand why they took so long to heal, but he quickly understood that not everyone had the same level of healing capabilities as he or Diveen. Diveen had gone to an academy to learn the healing arts from the top experts on the continent. Those were master mages, and Silas doubted anyone within Darkless had the same kind of knowledge they would have had.

Life now probably had more knowledge of the subject, but that was because of Silas. He had helped her reach her current level; in return, she was teaching her disciples, who usually took much longer than her to understand the knowledge that was passed down to them.

Silas hoped that, at a certain point, the city would have enough healers with high capabilities that they could be considered a healing hub of sorts. Of course, while the city was closed from the public, such a thing could not happen.

For his future plans to come to fruition, he would need to open the city up, and that could not happen while the current monarchy was around.

But for now, that didn't really matter. He would most likely need to consider it in the future.

Right now, they had a more dangerous threat, much closer than anyone would have liked.

After a week of going through his normal routine, Silas was finally called to one of the General meetings.

When he entered, he saw all the generals already there, getting ready talk. Some looked bored. Those were most likely the people who had come early.

Others looked curious, indicating that they had come just before Silas and were simply settling into their chairs.

"Good. You're here." Archie said and pointed at one of the chairs for Silas to sit at.

Silas quickly sat and looked at Archie with a curious glance.

"Did you think about my proposal?" Silas asked.

"I did, but I haven't come to a decision about it yet. I need a little more time to think about it."

"Oh? So this meeting isn't about it?" Silas widened his eyes slightly before a calm smile settled on his face again.

A calm, but very cold smile...

"I'm assuming that all of you know why I've asked you here." Archie said before activating a few mana crystals that began to project something into the air.

A holographic screen appeared before them, causing all of them to become alert.

"Is it them again?" Death said with a slightly annoyed sneer.

"Yes, and this time, they're not attacking or funding a faction," Archie said while the map of the continent shone before them.I think you should take a look at

The continent showed Delaer at the top of the continent. A large forest could be seen on the map's right side, taking up most of the central section.

At the bottom, you could see the Xylem kingdom, wrapping around the forest and connecting with Delaer at a certain point.

"As you all know, the student tournament will be held here. The diamond academy." Archie pointed at the place where all three of the continent's powerhouses met.

The forest, and Delaer kingdom, and the Xylem kingdom.

"This is where they will meet, and it is also where the attack will be held." 

"Those damn cultists. Now they're even bringing the kids into it?" Death could not help but exclaim with anger.

"I'm sure that isn't the point of their attack. Or, not entirely. Think about it. The best students from the new generation will be here, and they will be trying their best to compete for a prize. Either, they are here to kill the children and cripple the next generation of this continent, or they are coming here for the prize." Archie explained.

"What is the prize?" Silas asked with a weird look on his face that no one had seen him have for a very long time.

"We... Don't know... I believe they do though." Archie narrowed his eyes.

"There's a possibility they were there to do both things, right?" Silas asked.

"Should we call War in? I'm sure she can deal with them quite quickly." Jessica said with a stressed expression.

"We can't allow her to abandon her post. I'm certain she would come straight away if she heard what was happening, but we can't allow that. The demons are gaining more power as we speak, and they're even growing as groups. They are allying with one another, and any day now, they might even revolt. The kingdom has chosen to ignore this, but I hear that they have a new messiah of some kind that is allowing them to regain their morale." Archie explained.

"So what do we do?" Life asked with a serious expression on her face.

She hadn't spoken from the beginning of the meeting, but now she had spoken, and all eyes were on her.

"We do what we always did when those bastards attacked." Silas spoke up this time, standing up from his chair and looking at all of them with an equally serious expression.

"We kill them, of course." Silas said with a calm voice that radiated with so much coldness that everyone in the room could not help but tense up.

[Sorry about for not releasing the bonus chapters. I've been quite busy, and quite ill recently. I won't be uploading more than 2 chapters a day unless there are bonus chapters for any of the milestones we hit. I'm still 6 chapters short, so I'll be trying to upload it over time. Sorry for the inconvenience.]
