Chương 27: The Power of the Axe

Silva ran at top speed, but he came into contact with an army of undead, and there were several liches at the back as well, with magical crystals.

Aside from the army of undead, there was an army of goblins, along with shamans and hobgoblins.

"It seems that the labyrinth doesn't want me helping Roxy; it's trying to stop me," Silva said. He knew that he didn't have time to waste, so he decided to add his stat points into his stats.

**Strength:** 250

**Defense:** 250

**Speed:** 250

**Agility:** 250

**Intelligence:** 250

**Free stat points:** 210

Through his leveling up, he had managed to amass another good amount. He added twenty to all his stats, pushing them up to 270.

**Strength:** 270

**Defense:** 270

**Speed:** 270

**Agility:** 270

**Intelligence:** 270

**Free stat points:** 110

He still added fifty to his intelligence. He needed to think faster so that he could navigate through the enemy, and intelligence also made his use of mana and magic faster and stronger.

**Strength:** 270

**Defense:** 270

**Speed:** 270

**Agility:** 270

**Intelligence:** 320

**Free stat points:** 60

He also made sure to keep some free stat points for the sake of an emergency; you never know what may happen.

Now that he had done that, it was time to massacre. Using the same method he had used for the Minotaur, he transformed his arm into a dragon arm, covered in dark scales, and then he held his sword in the other hand.

He activated his dragon eyes because he wanted to use the energy flow to employ his predictive fighting, which allowed him to be one step ahead of the enemy.

Now that he was ready, he charged in without hesitation. He didn't know why Roxy screamed like that, but he was certain there was danger.

If she was with Mike and still screamed that loud, loud enough for him to hear it so far away, then it meant that whatever they faced, Mike was unable to handle the situation.

The undead and goblin army also charged at him. He used the abyss flame again, and in one powerful slash, he wiped out the frontline fighters.

The liches and the shamans immediately fired a barrage of spells at Silva. Silva didn't dodge; he used his sword and cut through all the attacks before charging forward again.

The frontline army proved to be no more than a nuisance, and the shamans and liches weren't making any sort of difference.

"This is taking too long," Silva said. He decided to use magic. He had been purchasing and training with spells that fit him for a while now, but he still liked close combat. That didn't mean he didn't know magic; in fact, his magic was on another level, with the abyss flames being on the lower end.

"Blades of darkness," Silva called out, and swords made of darkness started forming and firing at a crazy rate.

This spell consumed the opponent from the inside out. The blades would keep firing until he ran out of mana, and that was not something that would happen soon, as his mana pool was no joke.

**Name:** Silva

**Race:** Human (50%), Dark Dragon (50%)

**Legacy:** Dark Dragon Legacy (Awakened)

**Magical Affinities:** Summoning, Darkness, Abyss Magic

**Mana:** 310,000

His mana pool was over three hundred thousand. When he used a special means to check the mana pool of one of the best mages in this town, it was just over a thousand.

That difference was not simply something that could be overcome, no matter how much that mage worked.

The dark blades continued firing rapidly, taking out the army of goblins, undead, and hobgoblins alike.

In less than a minute, the entire army was killed and turned into crystals on the floor. Now it was time to take care of the shamans and liches.

He didn't waste any time. He used the same method and fired dark blades at them until they died.

He used flash step to gather all the crystals; he still needed the money. Then he ran to find Roxy.

He had only heard her scream once, and he was trying to get her position from just that scream. That was a hard thing to do, but he had his ways.

He activated his search, keeping Roxy in mind, and the search picked up her signature. He used search again to check for any monsters around, and there were a ton.

Strong ones as well; he could sense monsters as strong as the Minotaur, and they were close to Roxy's location.

He had to move fast, or else she might end up dead before he got there. But like he had said before, it seemed as though the labyrinth was trying its best to stop him from getting to her because at the next turn, he met with a Minotaur that appeared out of nowhere.

The Minotaur was bigger than the first and held a greater sword.

"You are the puny human that killed my brother. I'll make sure I have your head for this," the Minotaur said.

Silva didn't have more time to waste; he took out Minotaur's rage.

The Minotaur's eyes widened in shock when he saw the weapon. He could tell that it belonged to his brother.

"Give that to me!" he roared and charged at Silva.

Silva activated the unique ability, and his stats rose to an unprecedented level.

The normal weapon increased stats by 50 percent, but with his 10x buff, it would increase by 500 percent and last for a hundred seconds.

His stats basically hit a thousand. He slashed down, and the entire path was blown away. A massive chasm was left, and the Minotaur was nowhere to be found, only a crystal lay at the side.

[You have killed a Minotaur, 500 Exp, 250 Sp]

[Level up, 2 free stat points.]

His notifications had been on mute for a while now, but they automatically came back on to announce his level up.

Silva took the crystal and stored it along with the axe. He started running after that, in search of Roxy.
