The first man was dragged and forced to kneel in front of a small wooden stand, and his neck was placed over it. The executioner walked to his side and raised the sword. The sun shone and reflected off the great blade. It hung in the air, leaving the people watching in suspense. Would the blade come down? Would it not? So many thoughts filled their heads. Would this person truly die? Would someone save him? What would happen now? What? The blade came down, the sound of it cutting through the air filled everyone's ears, and when it bit the back of the neck, it cut through like butter. The head fell to the platform, eyes wide open. Murmurs filled the place. They had all come to see the execution, but now, seeing it, it made them feel different emotions. The guards walked to the second person, and in the same way, they loosed him from the beam and dragged him to the platform. The man tried to struggle, but he was far too weak to fight back. They placed his neck on the wooden stand, and the executioner raised his blade and brought it down, killing the second one. The process repeated for the remaining three until all of them were dead. Their heads lay on the ground there for all to see. After the execution, Silva had nothing to do here again, so he turned and left, followed by the others. "It's funny how easy it is to end a person," Silva said on their way back to the hotel. "You just take a blade and stab it, boom, life's over. But I think the person holding the blade makes the death hurt more. Imagine if it was their parents that had to carry out the execution. The pain those five would have felt would have been monumental. They would probably have gone insane before the blade even reached their neck. So it means the person holding the blade can make the death hurt more. The executioner is a neutral person, and so the death feels the same to all of them. There is no extra torture," Silva said.

But Silva had the feeling that all would not go as planned today, because at night he could sense some suspicious movements around, like something was being set up. "Master, I should already guess that you sensed the movements yesterday night, right?" Drake asked as they started heading for the teleportation circle. "Well, I did, and I'm sure Lily did as well, so it's certain that something will happen here. So keep an eye out, protect Amber and Gabriel," Silva said. When they arrived at the teleportation circle and were about to get into it, Silva sensed an underlying formation. "Everyone stop, don't walk into the circle," Silva yelled, but one of the elves had already stepped into it, and the underlying formation activated and immediately exploded. The blast instantly killed several elves and injured the others. Luckily, Drake protected Amber, Lily, and Gabriel. Silva simply transformed into his dragon-kin form and took the attack head-on. After the blast died down, a massive amount of magic-infused arrows came from the sky. Silva immediately transformed into a full dragon and spread out his wings, blocking all the arrows. They hit his scaly back and exploded due to the mana in them, but they weren't able to harm him. After blocking all the attacks, he looked into the distance and saw an army of monsters he had never seen before. He transformed back and met Amber, then pointed at the incoming monsters. "Those things, aren't they the monsters that are in the forest walls?" Silva asked. "Yes, they are. The question is, how are they here and why are they here?" Amber said. "Well, it seems I'll get to fight them. I've always wanted to fight them after passing through that forest, and now I get the chance," Silva said happily.
