As his figure soared into the sky above the clouds with his light wings, Emery couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding grow in his heart. He knew that most likely nothing good awaited him ahead, whether it was the Ouroboros' actions or the truth about Silva's condition.
Nevertheless, he decided to continue. He needed to know the truth.
In addition to his plan of sending the spaceship away, Emery also downed a [Concealment Potion] that made his body camouflage to his surroundings, before swiftly closing in to the place where she should be – the Ouroboros Royal Research Facility.
Unfortunately, the high level of security only allowed Emery to get as far as its courtyard.
Trespassing his way in, it didn't take long before a group of people, two dozen saint-level and five magus guards, came and stood in his way.
Since these people knew who he was, Emery still received the courtesy of not being attacked right away. He was, however, given a strict warning. "Magus, please leave the premises immediately. You are not allowed to enter this place without the Duke's permission."
Unbeknownst to them, their insistence on stopping and preventing him from entering only made Emery want to enter even more. Staring at them, he calmly said, "Let me through. I don't want to hurt you."
Their response to his words was for the leader of the guards to speak to his subordinates, telling them something about holding him off until the Duke arrived.
Seeing that, Emery narrowed his eyes as he said, "Don't say I didn't warn you."
His figure rapidly grew as he used his [Twilight Transformation]. The dirt around his feet spurted into the air as he stomped hard on the ground, darting towards the group of guards. He ignored the saint-level guards and directly engaged the five Ouroboros magus.
Even though they were only in the New Moon and Crescent Moon stage, the five Ouroboros magus were all elites. Two were melee fighters wielding swords, the other two were ranged magic-based fighters as they were seen casting ice spells, while the last one used poison-type spells to contain Emery's movements.
Evading the attacks thrown at him, Emery launched a barrage of attacks on them. However, his powerful punches and kicks only managed to push them back. When he tried to deal with one of them, the others would immediately step in and block him from doing so.
This was of course bad for Emery, he didn't have much time to lose.
Other than the Duke, there was still the Ouroboros Queen he needed to worry about. With that, he resolutely took out his [Blade Claw] and started attacking the guards fiercely and relentlessly."
"Get the hell outta my way!"
Now that she had decided to let go of all inhibitions, with just a few moves, Emery severed the leg of one magus and incapacitated the other. The bloody sight was enough to discourage the other magus, but it was then exactly at this moment that more people came over. Several more magus guards had arrived where they were.
Needless to say, Emery was irritated at not being able to break through sooner.
"ARRGHH!!! LET ME PASS!"
The deafening roar of his contained the power of spirit attack, forcibly pushing the magus guards back several steps, while outright knocking out the saint-level guards.
It was the effect of his new blood gene power.
What followed was another figure falling from the sky. Just as Emery was about to vent his frustration at this newcomer, he came to a pause when he saw who it was. A red-haired girl with flaming wings.
"Morgana!"
As her figure descended to the ground, Morgana delivered a shower of fireballs towards the group of guards, sending them scattering in a panic. At the same time, Emery received her thoughts through their [One Mind] connection.
"Go now! I will hold them off."

Not wasting the opportunity presented to him, Emery immediately kicked the ground and shot past the scattered group of guards as he said to Morgana, "Be careful, and refrain from killing them."
"I can't promise that," was the reply he received.
Even though her words worried him a bit, not having time to worry about her, Emery's figure could be seen running through the hallway of the Ouroboros facility at top speed. There were several saint-level guards patrolling inside, but none of them tried to stop him as they knew they simply didn't have the strength to do it.
When Emery finally arrived and walked into the room where Silva was being treated, he was surprised to find Bob standing among the group of Ouroboros experts.
"You've been here all this time?! What's going on here!?"
Seeing Emery, Bob heaved a deep sigh as he said, "No need to be aggressive. Calm down first and I will explain everything."
Emery was not stupid. When he saw Silva's unconscious body in the medical tube and the despair that was visible on Bob's face, he came closer and spoke dubiously.
"The treatment didn't work, did it?"
The frog hybrid shook his head in silence.
"You still have other ways… right?"
The silence that Bob displayed this time made Emery involuntarily tense up. His eyes gazed upon him as he said, "I thought you were the best in this field. There must be something else you can try!"
Hearing those words, Bob's body started shaking and tears came out of his eyes as he said, "…the best…? I am just a failure… I can't even save her… my poor niece."
A devastated expression appeared on Emery's face when he heard that.
"No… no, no… you can't give up now… there must be another way!"
"The serum you sent here, it did give her vitality and allow her to awake a few hours a day…" Pausing his words to recollect himself, Bob then said, "But it can't keep her soul from deteriorating… She… she doesn't have much time left…"
Emery could feel his heart stop beating at the news. He couldn't accept such an end for Silva.
He couldn't.
Anger, despair and regret filled the urge within, making him want to scream once more.
He turned to Bob, his expression was both pleading and forcing him to try harder.
"You must try again… you must…"
It was at this moment that a group of people arrived in the room. It wasn't only Duke Syre who had arrived, but the Ouroboros Queen herself as well.
Despite seeing Emery's emotional turmoil, with a sharp gaze she said, "Have you not done enough?! Now get out of my sight!"
Several magus quickly went to grab him. This time Emery did not put up a fight.
