Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



Silas turned around while completing the finishing touches of the rune. He had to be careful, otherwise, it would blow up in his face and possibly even destroy most of his arm, if not his body.

The python reeled back its head and unleashed a breath of poisonous gas, yet Silas didn't move an inch.

He could see the green screen telling him that his body was not only fighting against the poison but also assimilating it and adapting to it.

The python stopped shooting its poison and looked at Silas with confusion.

Silas pointed his hand at the python and smiled.

The silverish-blue rune before him shone with immense intensity, and a second later, a single word left Silas' mouth. A word that activated the spell and froze the very ground below him before the spell could even be unleashed.

"Iceberg"

*BOOOOOOOOM*

The sound of rapid freezing echoed throughout the entire forest.

The forest itself wasn't all that big and was nowhere close to being the size of the Uladia forest. However, the moment the beasts and even Silas' teammates heard it, they could not help but look in the direction of the sound,

In that very instant, powerful wind blew through the forest and reached his teammates while at the same time, blasting the fog away.

They could finally see the blueish-orange sky, but that wasn't the thing that caught their attention.

What did catch their attention was the enormous iceberg piercing toward the heavens coming from the direction that Silas had gone.

"Oh no..." they all stepped back.

There was no way that was Silas.

It would take an enormous amount of mana, and since they knew he was in the topaz core, there was no way he would have been able to produce such an enormous spell so quickly.

There was no way... right...

It had to be a mistwalker or something... Though, despite that sounding terrifying, it made more sense than Silas casting such a large spell so quickly.

Even if he had created a tier-4 spell, it shouldn't have been that large...

Of course, there was another theory that made a lot of sense.

The theory is that he might actually have something beyond an S-rank affinity.

S-rank affinities were extremely rare, but there have been a few individuals capable of reaching beyond the S-rank.

By most, they were considered legends of the past, and by others, they were treated like mythical beings capable of changing the tide of the entire human race.

Of course, it was just a myth, but all myths were grounded somewhere.

*BOOOM*

Suddenly, everyone watched as the iceberg shattered.

They could see chunks of ice flying through the air and shooting toward the skies.

Violet mana erupted out of the body of the python, but Silas had expected this.

The iceberg attack hadn't worked against the commander, and even though Silas was now much stronger than back then, he had a feeling that it wouldn't have worked against the python...

Or at least, it didn't work the way one would have usually expected it to.

'How to beat a reptile 101. Freeze them.' Silas grinned.

He could already see that it was working. The python was a lot slower than before, and from the looks of it, it was a little weaker.

Its scales looked like they had been frosted over, making its movements harder and making it have to use more energy than it would have usually done for basic movements.

Landing on the ground, Silas placed both his palms on the ground and caused the ground under to shoot up, launching it into the sky, alongside the rest of the iceberg's chunks.

Silas knew that using the iceberg spell would have been a little much, but since his teammates weren't around, he hoped he could have, at the very least, convince them that he used most of his mana.

Otherwise, he would have to just kill them or somehow make them comply without the chance of them backstabbing him later. The former looked a lot more appealing than the other option.

Lowering his body to the ground, Silas activated fire fusion and shot into the air before landing on one of the ice chunks.

"Let's see how you do airborne." Silas muttered while raising his hand into the air and controlling the ice to create spikes that shot toward the python.

The reptile quickly flicked its tail, creating a wind pressure strong enough to turn the ice into dust.

'I see...'

Silas' eyes darted around, scanning all the ice chunks before shooting off his platform and slamming into another one.

They python watched Silas as he darted from one ice chunk to another. Every time he would land on one, cracks would spread throughout it, but it wouldn't break.

*Swoosh*

Reeling his arm back, Silas took a deep breath in before shooting toward the python.

His body shot through the air, his eyes creating a green streak behind him as it burned with a bright emerald light.

And when he finally reached the python, he created a fire blast spell behind his elbow and released the strongest punch he had ever thrown in all his lives.

The air ruptured before him, creating a loud bang that echoed through the entire forest.

The fist landed on the scaly body of the python, yet an instant later, Silas was no longer in front of it.

Landing on one of the chunks of ice from before, he did the same thing again and again, landing punch after punch, each one being stronger than the last.

His figure could be seen darting around the python at a speed that even the python could no longer follow.

He was in now in the zone... He felt like nothing could stop him.

His fists were dripping with blood as every bone his hands would shatter every time he punched the python, but a second later, his hand would be fully healed, ready for his next punch.
