YM778.TV Chapter 113 Grade 2 Gobtants
"Earlier today, I heard some students talking about something that happened last night," Angelica began, catching Silas\'s attention. "They said the crafter\'s body was found down in the alley. He was just lying there, dead, his body turned into this petrified husk."
She paused, glancing at Silas to gauge his reaction. "I was there when that crafter attacked us," she continued, "and later that day, you said he\'d run away after you threatened to report him. You never mentioned anything about his death… so I wanted to ask… was it you who killed him?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Angelica\'s voice was soft, her gaze fixed on Silas as they continued walking.
Silas remained silent for a moment, his face contemplative. After a few moments, he finally spoke.
"Yes," he replied coldly, his expression unreadable.
"I see," Angelica murmured. "But… why?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of hesitation.
"You were there, Angelica. You saw how he tried to kill us just to get his hands on some mutant body parts," Silas responded without even glancing at her.
"I mean, why didn\'t you tell me?" Angelica clarified, and Silas fell silent again.
"Well, back when it happened, we weren\'t close like we are now. I didn\'t trust you then. But now, I do. That\'s why I didn\'t deny it," he explained after another pause, and Angelica nodded slowly in understanding.
"You can tell me anything, Silas," she said gently, a warm smile on her face. "No matter how bad it might be. I\'ll never judge you."
Silas gave her a slight nod before shifting his gaze forward, continuing to walk. They turned onto a different street and then abruptly halted as they spotted a group of goblins—similar to the ones that had attacked Vic and the rest of their group.
"Damn these mutants," Silas muttered with a frown, his gaze fixed intently on the goblins. "Just when I\'m in a hurry."
"Let\'s make this quick," he said coldly, stepping forward. As Silas advanced, he summoned his Grade 5 scythe, which materialized in his right hand in the blink of an eye.
"That scythe… it looks different from the last one, and it looks very expensive too," Angelica thought to herself, noting the weapon\'s intricate details.
Silas moved slowly at first, then launched forward at blinding speed, arriving in front of the Grade 2 goblins in less than a second.
Without warning, he slashed his scythe horizontally, aiming straight for the mutants.
[Passive skill: Soul Slash has been activated]
A glowing blue aura surrounded the scythe as it cut through the air, and before the goblins could react, it had already sliced five of them in half. Blood splattered across the ground as each goblin\'s divided body hit the floor.
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
A series of notifications flashed before Silas, congratulating him for slaying five goblins in a single strike. He swiftly dismissed the alerts, sensing an incoming threat from behind.
Spinning around just in time, Silas blocked the strike of two goblins with his scythe. But before he could catch his breath, two more goblins lunged toward him from behind, daggers aimed at his back.
In a split second, Silas crouched, narrowly avoiding the daggers, which flew over him and continued forward with the goblins\' full force behind them.
SLASH!
The goblins\' daggers missed Silas but struck the three goblins directly in front of him, slicing their heads off. Dark purple blood sprayed like water as the mutants\' headless bodies dropped to the ground.
[Passive skill: Soul Slash has been activated]
Silas then swung his scythe at the remaining two goblins, cleaving their bodies in half with a single, clean strike.
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
[Congratulations, you have slain a Grade 2 Gobtant]
Silas glanced at the notifications for a brief moment before dismissing them, then looked back at Angelica, who stood a few meters away, still watching him.
"Wow… I guess you didn\'t need my help after all," she remarked, walking toward him with a smirk.
"Well, you can help me now by carving out the valuable body parts while I head further into the realm to find the Realm\'s god," Silas replied with a shrug.
"Why are you so hellbent on finding the Realm\'s god?" Angelica asked, pulling out a short dagger as she approached the fallen mutants. "Relax; we still have five hours till the rush hour."
"I just thought it would be best if our group were the ones to kill the Realm\'s god," Silas explained in a persuasive tone. "The points we\'ll get for defeating it are worth far more than what we\'d get from random mutants."
"Fine," Angelica sighed, sensing his determination. "It\'s not like I can stop you anyway, since you\'ve already made up your mind. Just be careful, and I\'ll join you when I\'m done here."
Silas nodded before dashing away, his focus unwavering.

Silas sprinted through the streets for hours, taking down any mutant he encountered and collecting their valuable body parts. The empty pouch he had brought was now filled to capacity with rare and prized body parts. Yet, despite hours of searching, he still hadn\'t located the god\'s chamber.
"Ah, damn it! Another group of dead mutants? Who the hell keeps killing them before us?" a Grade 4 student with spiky red hair muttered irritably, noticing several goblin corpses scattered on the ground.
"Look over there! That guy… he\'s the one who\'s been killing the mutants in this area," another boy from the group said, pointing toward Silas, who was running several meters ahead.
"He\'s alone," the boy with spiky red hair observed, his gaze fixed on Silas. "Chase him down. Don\'t lose sight of him. If he keeps taking the body parts in this area, we\'ll be left with nothing. I think it\'s best if we confront him and get a share of what he\'s collected," he added, a dark expression spreading across his face.
