"You saw your friend Ron over there fight me and barely do anything. What suddenly makes you think that if you fight me again, you would win?" Silva asked. "Well, the reason is simple. The soul of Ron that fought you was not the hero candidate. Only one of his souls is the hero candidate, and that is the one that will fight you this time. I can tell that you are quite strong, but against the three of us, we would surely win, and that's a fact," Riker said. "Ohh, so three versus one. I didn't know that was how heroes played their games. How do you expect that I'll fight the three of you at the same time? Sure, I can do it, no hassle, but why should I? It's unfair on a numbers basis, and you are insulting yourself and the heroes that sent you. You are saying that the current generation of hero candidates is incapable of handling one demon king candidate. Not that I care. I'll still take all of you and easily defeat you. So, when do we start?" Silva said and got up from his throne, starting to walk down. "Fine, we will fight you one on one," Riker said. After he said that, Meg raised her hands and spoke, "I would like to opt out of this fight. My purpose for coming here is to talk to you, not throw blades. I understand why the boys would want to solve this through a duel, but that is not for me," Meg said and shifted away. Riker and Ron didn't think much about it, though, and were getting ready to battle. When Silva was close, he looked at them and smiled. "You know, today is my birthday. I just turned fourteen," Silva said. "Wait, what? You look at least sixteen," Riker said. "Well, I matured faster, but that is beside the point. The point is that today is a special day, and on this special day, a lot is happening, some with my knowledge and some hidden from me. Riker took a quick step back and stabbed his spear into the ground. "Wind wall." Riker called out, and a powerful wall of wind rose and blocked Silva. But Silva was unhindered. He slashed through it easily and dashed towards Riker. "This is impossible. How are you this strong?" Riker yelled and started a flurry of powerful attacks, not wanting to give Silva any attack space. Silva blocked all the attacks with a smile on his face. "A monk should not show such chaotic emotions, or is it not so here?" Silva asked. "Shut up!" Riker yelled and stomped the ground, shooting at Silva at his fastest speed yet. Then he spun his entire body like a drill, creating a horizontal tornado with the tip facing Silva. It was like an incoming spinning lance. Taking a single hit from this would destroy your insides and outsides. "I have to say, you are way, way too weak for me, but I'll humor you," Silva said. He used the broad side of his sword and blocked the tornado. He was pushed back from the attack initially, but after taking that attack for a second, he stopped moving and simply stood in one place, blocking the attack. Riker finally stopped his attack and leaned on the floor. He looked up at Silva, who was standing there undisturbed, and his heart filled with rage. He didn't understand why a demon king candidate would have so much strength, far more than him, yet he was a hero candidate.

"I don't know how you are doing all this, but I can see that defeating you won't be a walk in the park, and so I'll go all out and take you down now," Riker said.
