Since they had agreed to help Gabriel, Silva started putting things in motion. The first step was contacting Amber and telling her to meet in the lounge for a discussion. The meeting was between Silva, Amber, and Gabriel. When they were all seated, Silva began the discussion. "So, Amber, there is something that we urgently need your help with. You see Gabriel here, he has a lover, and she was a half-elf. Suddenly, after a long while of her living happily, she was reclaimed by the elves. Normally, I don't think elves would claim a half-blood, so we need your expertise on the issue first," Silva said. "Hmm, I see. Elves are a race that really loves the purity of their blood. It's very rare to see mixed blood. In fact, pureborns with weak blood purity are also looked down upon and seen as waste. So it is shocking for them to take a half-blood. They even came to the human empire to do so. That means they took permission from the empire to take her. And that only tells me one thing: either she is a very important person, most likely the daughter of a high-ranking elf who couldn't bear any more children and decided that the half-blood would be their heir. It's rare, but it has certainly happened a few times that I know of, where elves compromise based on the fact that they can't give birth to more. But her elf parent must be really high on the spectrum for that to work. They would need a crazy amount of influence. But then again, the half-elf, no matter whose daughter she is, won't be able to live a happy life there. She has no say in what happens in her life," Amber said. Silva looked at Gabriel. "You are a grown-ass man, and you couldn't figure these details out? Did you fry your brain while cooking? But that is beside the point. They made it to the small arena in the castle. Silva picked a wooden sword and pointed it at Gabriel. "Use all your weapons regardless of what I'm using. If you don't, you might die by mistake," Silva said. Gabriel nodded and took out two slim swords. He charged at Silva at top speed, his swords crackling with lightning. Silva was ready to take the attack, but to his surprise, Gabriel threw one of the swords into the air. This distracted Silva for a split second. When Silva looked back at Gabriel, he saw the second sword had been thrown as well, and it was heading for Silva. Silva moved quickly and blocked the sword, but the sword suddenly exploded, scattering particles in all directions. Then, the electricity from them all linked and created a cage around Silva. Gabriel caught the second sword and dashed at Silva to stab him. Silva made a simple slashing motion, and a powerful force shot out, destroying the cage he was in and blasting Gabriel back. But Gabriel was not going to give up. He took out a metal wire with a blade tied at the front. He landed on his feet and threw the blade at Silva. The blade didn't seem to have any electricity inside, and that made Silva a little suspicious. But the answer to his suspicion came immediately after. He blocked the attack, and the tip of the blade hit Silva's sword. It exploded with powerful lightning. Gabriel had stored the lightning very compactly in the tip, and that explosion was the result. To be honest, Silva was impressed with this, but he still wanted to see what Gabriel could do. So he took a stance as Gabriel withdrew his blade. Since his explosives did nothing to Silva, he had to bring a few methods to attack. But Silva wasn't waiting at all. He charged at Gabriel, and Gabriel could not react. The blunt side of the sword slammed into Gabriel's chest and sent Gabriel flying. But Gabriel didn't let himself fall. He pulled out a sword, landed on his feet, and got into his stance. The sword had always been his true weapon, and so he was going to use that now and show Silva his true strength.
