Chapter 117: Black knights
A being that even the goddess and the system recognized as powerful, this was a large issue, a very large one.
But Silva knew that immediately worrying and jumping about would not change anything, he simply had to get stronger.
He didn't know how long it would take to face this being, for all he knew it could be the next day, or it could take ten years.
Either way, he could only give his best when the time came. What was on his mind now was the fact that he had gained a new dragon skill, he quickly checked it to see what it was.
[Astral Dragon Form: A semi-invisible dragon form that you can control and use to battle, all stats will be increased tenfold when activated.]
[The drawback of this skill is extreme strain on the body.]
This skill was awesome, if it increased his strength by ten times, his buff would then help him get to a hundred times. The only skill that could match up to it is the Joker of the Abyss.
Even though it had a drawback, and the effect of the drawback was buffed as well, it didn't matter, because the gains far outweighed the cons.
"I want to talk to you about a lot of things, Aris, so will you come to my labyrinth to talk?" Silva said.
"Well, I'm not going to leave now, you are officially stuck with me," she said with a smile.
Lily gave her a cold stare and then activated the teleportation to the labyrinth. They vanished and left all the destruction of their fight there.
Even the beast corpses outside the forest were left there, all of them.

A few minutes after Silva and everyone had left, a group of horses with armored people on them came to the site of Silva's fight.
There were about twenty horses, and about five of the riders were female, each of them wearing black armor with the crest of the king on it.
The one leading them came down from his horse, he walked a bit and looked at where the fight seemed to have taken place.
The crater that Zack left, as well as the small damage caused by the fight.
"Captain, what happened?" a woman asked.
"There seems to have been some sort of fight here, it didn't last long though. I'm seeing the prints of hundreds of people, but I can only sense that there were no more than four people here," he said and returned to his horse.
"Could it be that one had a cloning spell of some sort?" she asked.
"Probably. We should head to the other side, that's where Sharon sensed the beasts. Let's find out what happened to the beast wave," he said and got on his horse.
They rode through the forest, and when they made it out, they were shocked to see the corpses of beasts littered everywhere.
They all looked in shock, not knowing what to think at this point.
"That's a pretty intense scene, right?" a voice said from behind them.
They all turned around quickly while pulling their swords and getting defensive.
And then they saw, seated on a tree, the most fancy-looking clown there could be.
The clown held a deck of cards and was shuffling it rapidly at an incredible pace, but only his fingers moved.
The captain pointed his blade at the clown and spoke.
"Who are you?"
"Well, it's common courtesy to tell others your name before asking," the clown said.
"I am Rogers, the captain of the Venom team of the Black Knights," the man said.
"Oh, I think I've heard of the Black Knights, one of the most elite chapters of the kingdom's knighthood.
Well, you can call me the Joker of the Abyss," the Joker said with a smile.
"What are you doing here, Joker? Speak now or we will have no choice but to take you down," the captain said.
The Joker started swinging his legs after hearing that, and then suddenly he dropped from the tree and landed on the ground.
The group immediately came down from their horses, marched forward, and took a defensive stance.
"Stop where you are, and tell us what you are doing here," the captain said.

"Well, you see, I was walking through here, and then suddenly all these beasts jumped out and attacked me.
So I decided to take care of them, but I got too tired after that and decided to rest, and then you guys showed up."
"You killed all of them by yourself?" Rogers asked in shock. "If that's true, then we will have to take you down. A stranger capable of taking down a host of beasts by whatever means is crazy.
We will have to investigate you and be certain of who you are first. Venom, into formation one." Rogers gave an order, but before they could carry it out, the Joker drew a card and looked at it.
He smiled after looking at it and spoke.
"To think my luck would be so good." He flung the card into the air, and the card exploded into a massive purple magical circle.
It expanded over the whole field and then, the dead beasts started rising into zombies one by one.
The Black Knights looked at this in shock and some in fear.
"Captain, I'll be seeing you more often, so don't die here. Your squad should be able to handle this without trouble." The Joker said, then he pulled out a card and used it to vanish.
"That motherfucker!" the captain roared, but now was not the time for him to lose his head, he had to fight.

Back in the labyrinth, Silva was about to get into his discussion with Aris at a dining table in the massive dining hall.
He felt his clone return to him, meaning it had done the job.
When he was about to leave that place the first time, he sensed people coming, knights to be exact, so he sent his clone to handle it.
