After a few minutes, they were at the front of the line.
The guard quickly looked them up and down. All three of them were wearing black robes, and while Silas looked normal in his opinion, the other two's hair color quickly caught his eyes.
"State your name and business here." The guard ordered.
"My name is Game. This here, is Nymira, and the other is Aleck." Silas smiled at the man before him.
"Game? That's an unusual name." The guard narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah, that's what everyone tells me." Silas chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.
"Do you happen to have some sort of identification?" The man asked, and Silas took out three crystals without skipping a beat.
The man's eyes widened when he saw them, but he quickly kept his cool and gave the crystals to the guard next to him.
That guard also widened his eyes and placed the crystals on some sort of artifact before standing to the side and waiting.
"S-So. Sir, what bring you to this city?" The man asked with a twitching brow.
"Oh. We came to the city in order to use the teleportation hub. We've been traversing the lands recently, but we plan on going to the academy soon." Silas smiled.
"Oh? All of you?" The man couldn't help but raise a brow.
"Yes, of course." Silas looked back at them before looking at the man before him. "They are my closest friends." He said with warmness in his eyes.
"Oh... I see." The man chuckled before looking back at the man who was tapping on his shoulder.
The other guard whispered something in his ear. The man's eyes widened slightly before he nodded.
"You may pass. Though, the entry fee is two gold coins." The man said.
"Each?" Silas raised a brow while Alex and Nymira couldn't help but feel a tinge of rage. The entry fee was barely ten silvers per person, but for some reason this man was trying to get them to pay 20 times the price?
"Yes." The man spoke in a slightly condescending voice.
"Why is it so expensive? I could have sworn that it was only ten silvers." Silas asked while cocking his head to the side.
"Well, its either you pay that or we arrest you for stealing those crystals." A grin appeared on the man's face.
"Nymira's usually warm and sometimes even innocent face, instantly turned cold. Her hand was placed on the blade within her cloak, and she was ready to slice the man's head off within a moment's notice if that was necessary.
"What makes you so sure?" Silas raised a brow, but on the inside, he couldn't think of anything that was wrong with the crystals he had given them.
"I suggest you pay immediately, or we'll have to send a pay notice to your family as well. Imagine the dept they would collect-"
*Splat*
'Oh... So they're just assholes, then... Maybe I should add an influential family to the crystal. Though, I didn't do that in first place since some guards wouldn't have a problem regonizing that I'm not from a certain family.' Silas thought to himself while retracting his hand was now covered in blood.
The man from before no longer had a head, and everyone could see that it was Silas who had killed him.
However, what they didn't see was a movement from him. Their eyes couldn't even catch his hand moving. Not even a blur was left behind. It was as if, one second, the guard's head was there, and in the next, it was not.
The guard's body wobbled for a couple of seconds before; eventually, his headless corpse fell to the ground and splattered blood all over Silas.
Alex widened his eyes when he saw this, and even Nymira couldn't help but shudder when she saw the headless corpse.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm It wasn't because the sight of blood irked her, but the fact that she hadn't even seen Silas move.
'What the hell.' Her eyes widened when she saw this.
She knew Silas was fast, but until now, she could at least see a blur when he moved.
However, even with toki going toward her eyes, she didn't see a single thing. The only thing she felt was the cold air blow on her face.
The people behind them were confused as well, but when they saw the corpse, they quickly took a step back and looked at who had attacked them.
--Just to see white hair that flowed down to the person's neck.
"J-Judgement." A woman screeched, but no one moved.
There was thick killing intent in the area, and everyone was struggling to move from where they were standing.
"I'll be taking this." Silas walked toward the artifact and took both of his crystals before turning to the man at his side.
His pants had already been soiled, and he was already on the ground, shuddering in fear.
"And you know my name... Hmm. What a dilemma." Silas scratched his chin for a few seconds before the man's body disappeared, leaving behind a blood paste that went on for a couple of meters.
"What a mess." Silas sighed and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his hands.
Looking back, he signaled Nymira and Alex to follow him. A few guards appeared in front of him, everyone now and then, but since they didn't know his name, he left them incapacitated rather than dead.
Alex didn't say a word the entire time. He had a slightly grim expression on his face.
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.
