Escape

With a lot of effort, I slowly open my eyes. The first thing I saw is a number in the corner of my sight rising gradually.

'What is that number? I can't touch it'

*sigh*

'I will just forget it for now and start thinking of how I'm gonna leave this room'

I was back in my small room. I approached the glass and looked through it, there is a long hall on the other side. My head begins to work but I just woke up and am still a little confused. Then, a light emerged from the hall across the glass.

*BOOM!*

The glass didn't break but the light passed through it and clashed with my head. I was thrown to the wall and I could hear my bones breaking from the sheer strength.

I fainted without knowing what happened.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silver frowned, He had been observing a man in the middle of the forest for some time now, the man traveled to the city every four days to buy food and went back to an old house in the middle of the forest.

It was a whole day walking from the house to the city, but Silver could travel that distance in a few seconds at full speed so it wasn't hard.

Still, he didn't have the slightest idea why the family head ordered him, a general to investigate such a minor incident.

'We have an entire intelligence squadron to do the job but she wanted to move a fucking general to do it. I bet she is still mad at me for not finding anything about that matter one year ago. Doesn't look like there is even someone at level 4 around here'

The man stayed in the house for a long time now and Silver started to get pissed off.

'That bastard is going to stay an eternity in there, Let´s just break his legs and make him tell me whatever he's supposed to know that I too don't have any idea of what it is since she didn't tell me, but who cares, hope there is someone strong there'

He then went to the door of the old house made of wood.

*knock* knock*

Five seconds later, Silver made a slight smile and a helpless expression.

"No one there? what a pity"

He broke the door with a slight push and allowed himself in, then examined the house, there were a lot of spider webs, rotten wood, and an awful smell.

"Hey! anyone there?!"

Silver explored the house, the living room was a mess, the kitchen smells terrible, and there is no one in the rooms.

'strange, where is he?'

He then found the basement, which was a big contrast to the house, the entrance was a clean white trapdoor made of iron.

After he entered it, his shock was visible on his face, a long hall with a lot of cells that traped a lot of o people, not just humans, elves, demons, beast-men of all kinds, dwarfs, there was also a baby dragon, but all of them were dead, their bodies were pale and looked like have been sucked dry, even a vampire was a victim too.

At the end of the hall, there were two paths, to the right and left, making the map of the basement a *T*, but at the front, what would be in the middle of the *T*, stood a different cell from the others, the glass was stronger, at the point that even Silver couldn't break it.

"This one is dead too" He said as he stared at the little boy that should have been around 2 years old lying on the floor with his blood starting to dry.

'But this one is not drained like the others and looks like he died just a few hours ago, I will investigate his body later' He then walked to the right and after some time he found a door.

The door led to a big room, there were a lot of machines, a large monitor in the middle and most importantly, an old man was staring at the screen with his back turned to Silver.

Silver turned serious, while his eyes pierced the back of the man, he started to slowly release his aura, the air turned heavier, and little cracks appeared in the walls and the ground, killing intent leaking from his body like every cell of his body was eager to kill something.

The old man released his aura too and clashed with Silver, the two thick auras turned the air so dense that if there was another person in the room his head would explode.

"I see, so the man I was following was a wood puppet that you made, there is no way I wouldn´t sense if he was a warlock like you"

"The puppet wasn´t made of wood but...."

Silver, at an extremely fast speed, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, curved his upper body forward, and extended his leg backward, his heart started to beat at a faster rate, his legs and arms muscles contracting and then he disappeared.

The old man felt a sword approaching his neck and quickly moved his hands to cast a tiny barrier that collided with the sword making sparks come out.

Even after blocking, he was still thrown at the wall by the impact but then he launched a highly concentrated fireball at Silver. Both were sent flying to opposing sides and buried deep in the walls.

"Finally a good fight" Silver said as he comes out of the hole in the wall.

"So impatient, making you into my rat laboratory will be fun, you can call me doctor from now on" He said as he too leaves a hole.

'crack crack crack' The fissures in the walls started to deepen, and a relatively larger piece of rock falls from the roof, it seems like time stopped, both look at each other, their hearts accompanying the speed the rock drops and exactly when it hits the floor, both of them disappear.

Shifts started appearing in the air, blood appearing on the walls from time to time, countless spells appearing in the air brightening the room with fire.

Silver engulfed by all the spells became a fireman moving at sound breaking speed then while he burned, Doctor cast a gravity field around him and got him trapped at the ground with the high-pressure air.

Silver using the gravity's strength, with his bare hands, excavated the earth and swiftly arrived beneath Doctor. Silver grabbed and ripped Doctor's leg apart.

Not letting the chance go, Doctor used the blood flowing out of his leg to form a hot blade of fire and blood to cut Silver´s arm, the same reacted and kicked Doctor.

'crack'

As he heard the sound of his bones breaking, Doctor was sent flying again. After just some minutes of fighting, both of them were exhausted, Silver lost an arm thus he couldn't use his sword anymore and had injures all over his body, Doctor lost a leg and used a lot of mana to cast his spells.

"You were a good opponent old man, but it's my victory"

"Hahahaha, you should look at a mirror"

Doctor acted like normal but he didn't have much mana, he could spend just some more and he would be out.

Silver knew that but still acted carefully, he then advanced at high speed and trowed a lot of punches, Doctor didn't dodge, and after a few seconds, his blood was all over the place. Silver got suspicious.

'too easy, is he planning something?'

Doctor revealed a smile and Silver's eyes narrowed realizing something.

"You guessed right but is too late" He said with a smile.

Silver turned to the door and started running with all his strength.

In the blood of every living being, there are some leftovers from the mana that passes close to the nerves, it's a famous tactic to recover mana by drinking the blood of magical creatures.

Doc gathered all the blood around, concentrated all the mana in a single point, removed a mana cell that powered the machine at his back, and fused the two, then smiled. At the last moment, he looked up, staring at the roof.

"Hope you survive little boy"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!*

Silver who was running at full speed felt the ground tremble, then glanced at his back, a massive fire consuming and destroying everything getting bigger until it reached him.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" He screamed as the fire ate him too.
