Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality-Chapter 33 Battle Of Titans [3] - Think Silas. Think!

*Swoosh*

Moving like the wind, Silas dodged all the trees in the way while releasing the full extent of his killing intent.

At first, they all seemed stunned that, despite him being weaker than them, his killing intent was far thicker than their own. Of course, it didn't mean that his killing intent was stronger than theirs. However, it did mean that he had far more kills under his belt than all of them combined.

Several earth and fire bullets shot through the air and pierced the shadow swarm. However, just like all the other attacks that pierced the shadowswarm, it regenerated from them as if nothing had happened.

The mistwalker tried to freeze the shadowswarm in place. Despite creating an enormous pillar of ice to encapsulate the monster, the shadowswarm simply broke through the ice like it was nothing.

'I don't know nearly enough about shadowswarms to understand how they work and find their weaknesses. Even with mystic eyes, I can't see the thing's mana core, let alone its life force.' Silas gritted his teeth before using wind fusion to quickly dodged all the tendrils of darkness aimed at him.

Unlike the earth bear, the shadowswarm had really good aim. The earth bear, Silas, and even the mistwalker had all been hit multiple times, yet unlike Silas, the others didn't have the ability to heal. And now that Silas had a new blessing, his healing ability reached new levels of speed and efficiency.

Landing next to the earth bear, Silas created a wall of earth around them before the bear created several more with a single glance.

'Getting close to it is suicide. Staying far away isn't doing us any favors... Alright. Think Seth. That thing is made of darkness, so how do you destroy it? Light... Healing magic? Wait, why did I gain the light element? Is it different from my healing?

To be fair, those white knights did use a weird form of elemental energy manipulation that I've never seen before. The light element is not part of mana... Wait, no! That should be the least of my problems. I don't know how to use light magic, so I'll wait to use it until I know enough about it to actually bring any use out of it.' Silas rubbed his temples while the earth bear looked at him weirdly.

Taking in a deep breath, Silas absorbed mana into his mana core. He felt a jolt of pain suddenly shoot through his mana channels before a sense of strain took over.

The green energy had taught him how to break down things that enter his body, while his evolution blessing had instinctually taught him how to refill his mana core with the ambient mana around him.

However, now, for some reason, he felt intense strain whenever he tried to refill his mana core. This was as if his mana channels rejected mana by forcefully expelling it.

In a way, it felt like mana fatigue...

'Shit...' he grit his teeth before something hit him. This feeling of pain was a restriction... A limitation. What's the point of core grades if he can infinitely refill his core? Sure, a higher core grade meant a person's mana would be purer, and, therefore, stronger, but the point stood. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Everyone had a limitation, and Silas quickly understood the monster's limitation.

The shadowswarm has grown slower since the sun rose. Right now, the sun wasn't too bright, so the shadowswarm was mostly fine, but it would only get slower as the sun rose.

At the same time, its shadows seemed to be distorted by the wind. Every time the wind blew, the shadow flickered for a second, as if it was constantly fighting against the air.

"Maybe I can use this to my advantage... I can use wind and fire to kill it... Maybe I can use "that"... It will be a little tricky, but I've been practicing. I don't know if I have enough mana, though. There are no mana crystals nearby that contain enough mana inside them to help me out. Wait." Silas remembered something and closed his eyes.

When he searched within his body for his mana core, he could not help but raise his brows in surprise.

His pristine garnet core had traces of yellow in it. Garnet was a browny color, but topaz was bright yellow.

'I'm close to breaking through... That's probably the reason my mana reserves have been so high lately. It makes sense.' Silas' lips curved into a smile while a plan formed within his mind like a jigsaw puzzle, each piece fitting into place one by one before it finally became whole

Looking at the bear next to him, Silas sighed and began to demonstrate his plan to the bear through the use of earth, water, and fire magic.

After a few seconds of repeating his plan, the bear finally nodded in understanding.

An axe made from earth magic formed at Silas' side as all the earth walls fell back into the ground.

This axe looked much sharper and much deadlier than the ones Silas created, and the reason for that was the fact that it wasn't Silas who created the axe, but the earth bear.

Suddenly, the ground below Silas sank before it instantaneously rose, launching Silas in a particular direction.

The bear looked particularly hesitant to go along with Silas' plan, but in the end, it did what Silas wanted.

As Silas shot through the air, he readied his axe, activated fire fusion, and swung with all the power he could muster.

Throughout this night, he had evolved more times than he could keep count. His body was stronger than ever, and his mana core had never had purer mana inside it.

Silas moved like a flash of lightning. His movement was so fast and quiet that no one noticed until too late.

He was a blur, but when he finally slowed down enough for the monsters to react, he was already at his target.

Without a second of hesitation, he swung his axe and cleaved through the monster's neck...

But the monster he killed wasn't the shadowswarm... No.

Slowly, the Mistwalker's head fell off its body, Silas hovering right behind it, his eyes burning vigorously as they beamed with a bright emerald light.
