Chapter 77 - A New Experiment (2/2)

A massive body of water moving at such incredible speeds should cause some sort of wind, yet there was no reaction at all from the surroundings! The only noise that they heard was that of the water crashing against the pyramid, nothing else!

'What is this brat doing?'

Silverton suddenly became wary of Will. In this day and age, although there were still plenty of strange abilities far beyond his understanding, this didn't feel natural. Sicario put his hand on his chin as he fell into thought.

'Could he be using intent? On such a large scale?'

As one of the high-ranking members of the Dragonheart Empire and as a high-ranking user on earth, Sicario knew a little bit about intent, but he was unsure whether what Will utilized was truly intent.

'That's the problem with intent, only someone who has experienced it multiple times or someone who can use it can tell whether it's there.'

Will took his final step during this moment when everyone was in awe. The fifth wave smashed into the pyramid. Most of the people took a stable stance to ready for the incoming impact, but what they expected did not happen. There was no noise, no quake, no explosion, nothing.

The moment the water contacted the pyramid, it vaporized, covering the monument. Within seconds, the vapor vanished, leaving a completely intact pyramid.

”Okay, I'm done. So, Lord Sicario, do I pass?”

Will said with a smile. His hands were placed behind his back while his robe gently fluttered in the wind. His body gave off a temperament like that of a feather, drifting in the wind, unbothered by worldly matters.

Silverton was stumped at first, but he started laughing loudly while clapping his hands.

”Bravo! Bravo! An exquisite failure if I have ever seen one. Brat, who the f*ck do you think you are, huh? Five steps? If I don't teach you a lesson right here-”

Silverton's aura surged as he decided to teach Will a lesson. He felt like he had been taken for a ride. Silverton was a violent and prideful person. Now that Will had failed the exam, he would become Silverton's subordinate, which meant that the latter could do whatever he wanted to the former. But before Silverton could finish his sentence, Sicario's gentle voice interrupted.

”You have passed Solita… I mean, Lord Solitary. It was indeed a magnificent display of strength and skill.”

Silverton turned his head to look at Sicario, completely stunned. He had no idea what he was going on about. Noticing his comrade's confused look, Sicario decided to assist.

”Silverton, carefully sense the pyramid for energy; don't just look at its form.”

That was when Silverton suddenly realized what he had missed. He turned his head around and focused on the pyramid, only to realize he could sense nothing, no energy fluctuations could be sensed at all. This was no different from a mound of dirt that could be blown by the wind.

As if to prove a point, Will raised a hand and blew against his palm toward the pyramid's direction. The moment he blew, the pyramid was blown apart into dust, carried by the wind.

Sicario walked toward Will, his hand stretched out. ”Lord Solitary, welcome to the Dragonheart Empire. We are happy to have you join us.”
