Riker's aura changed, wind began swirling around him, and then he stabbed with his spear. A powerful blast of wind shot at Silva. The wind moved like a serpent, coiling and moving irregularly. Silva dodged the blast of wind and then ran toward Riker. Riker was unfazed. He raised his hand into the air, and a magical circle formed, firing wind spears at Silva. Silva dodged all of them easily. Then, he added his speed and made it behind Riker, with his sword going for Riker's neck. But before the blade reached, another blade blocked Silva's attack. Silva looked at the person and saw that it was Ron. Ron grabbed Riker and pulled him back from Silva's range. "Really? You feel you have watched me all through and now understand my range and fighting abilities?" Silva asked. He knew from the get-go that Ron was studying him, and now Ron felt like he could fight Silva. So Silva decided to show them that they were not of the same league. As Ron stood there, his shoulder was suddenly slashed open, with blood spewing in all directions. Ron stared at the wound in shock. He was certain that he was out of Silva's range. He looked up and saw that Silva was not even moving at all. His blade was still where it had always been. But then Silva took a step. As his feet touched the ground, the two of them were blasted with a pressure so strong that they were sent flying into the walls of the dome. Silva started walking toward them, and with every step, they were pressed against the walls even harder. Ron knew he had to break out, or else they would die, and so he struggled and cast a spell. A formation formed above Silva and shot a blade of flames at Silva. Silva dodged the attack, and the pressure on the heroes weakened, allowing them to escape. Immediately, they escaped, charging at Silva, trying to flank him. "Riker, use your legacy," Ron yelled for the first time since they came here. Riker nodded, and suddenly his eyes glowed white, and he vanished. Ron also activated his legacy, and a massive flame warrior formed around him, wielding two swords. The mighty blue flame warrior looked very powerful. Meg and Ron sat at the edge of the bed as well, their faces showing that they were thinking. "He wasn't even trying," Meg said. "Huh? What do you mean?" Ron asked. "He wasn't going all out. I could tell. Even the last move that locked you all in place seemed like it was nothing to him. It's as if he could have taken you all out with a breath," Meg said. "Come on, Meg. He isn't a demon king; he is only a candidate," Riker said. "You still feel it's impossible after getting your ass kicked so bad? He didn't even break a sweat. He was casually fighting like it was nothing," Meg said. "Whatever. Well, it seems like the people that are here are really staying with him of their own will," Ron said. "I still don't believe that. I know for sure that something is up here, but we won't be able to get it in the castle. So let's get out of here and check his city. We might find one or two clear-headed people who will tell us how he has managed to keep everyone here. There is nothing a little money and persuasion can't fix," Riker suggested. "Hmm, it's a good plan, but I feel it won't be that easy for us," Ron said. "Why do you think so?" Riker asked. Ron looked at Meg, and Meg answered Riker. "It's really easy to notice. Everything in this place seems to revolve around Silva, so he has to be watching everything somehow. It's possible he will have eyes and ears everywhere, and they might have been informed to watch us and report to him. And if he has proof that we were causing issues, it can be used against us to blackmail us and lots more," Meg explained.
