When Silva and Dawn headed back, he created a clone to et Quin. The clone would tell them that Dawn had gone to help the others.
After making the clone, he and Dawn teleported to the throne room. As soon as they appeared, Elsa ran up and hugged him.
"Daddy!" she called out. Silva tried to hold himself from falling.
"Has everything been set up?" he asked.
"Yes, master," Drake said.
Silva walked to the throne and sat down as a massive hologram screen showing one side of the labyrinth appeared.
There were over ten people on screen. They had run away from the minotaurs and were now closer to the entrance of the seventh floor.
Three of them were from Ribest, and the rest were from Blacklight City.
About four of them were marked with red dots over their heads; those were the ones who looked at Dawn with eyes they shouldn't have.
He would be starting with this set and having so fun with them.

"The minotaurs are definitely coming. We need to find a way out. We can either take the risk of entering the seventh floor or fight them," an adventurer said.
"No, you are wrong. We can sacrifice you and your two companions. You Ribest C ranks should be the ones to die first.
If you die for our sakes, we can get away from here and survive, so better do it," the strongest of the Blacklight City adventurers said.
"What the hell are you saying? You want us to die so that you can escape? You bastard, are you even human?" the man snapped back.
"You three don't have a choice. You either fight us and get forced into being the sacrifice, or you comply," the man responded.
(Who said they didn't have a choice? Are you perhaps the owner of this labyrinth?) Silva's voice bood through the space. All ten of them could hear him, but he wasn't there.
"Who the hell are you? Show yourself," the Blacklight City adventurer said. Imdiately after, a massive force slamd him to the ground and pressed him down until the ground started cracking.
(Who told you that you can raise your voice here?) Silva asked. He stopped the force and allowed the man to take a breather.
(Listen closely, all of you. Four of you here must die for certain, and that's simply for a cri you committed.
So I'll show you the four people, and the six of you must subdue them in any way possible, but ensure they are alive.
When you succeed, hand them over to my friends who have surrounded you.)
The adventurers looked around and saw that they had been surrounded by minotaurs, and these ones were bigger and stronger than the ones that chased them, ten in number.
An average B rank can take care of a minotaur, just as Quin showed. Well, that's sowhat bullshit. You need to be experienced in fighting them to be able to kill them quickly.
The reason why all the adventurers really ran from them was due to fear, induced by Silva.
But as for these minotaurs that stood here, they were three tis the strength of the other ones. There was no way this group of ten could survive them.
The group felt fear when they saw the minotaurs; they felt like lting into the ground.
(My friends here serve two purposes. If you refuse to subdue the four that I will show you, my friends will attack and kill all of you.
If you do as you are told and hand over the four, they will spare you and leave. Then you six must head to the seventh floor.
Now that all that has been laid out, let us begin. In ten seconds, the ones you must subdue will be shown to you,) Silva finished what he had to say and started counting ten seconds in his mind.
When it hit one, a holographic light shined over the heads of four of the Blacklight City adventurers.
The remaining six imdiately knew what this ant, and the air beca tense. The four that had been chosen took their weapons and entered a defensive stance.
They started retreating slowly from the others.
"You guys can't do this. We are from the sa guild and city. Let's take out those Ribest idiots and fight the minotaurs ourselves," one tried to persuade.
"I don't think you understand what you're saying. Even if the rest of you gang up against us, you can't win against those minotaurs.
I have a family, and so I will not just die here. I'll have to hand you over to them. That's the only way that makes sense. Who's with ?" the C rank adventurer who had been arguing with the other adventurer spoke up.
Even the remaining two adventurers from Blacklight knew this was the only option, so they drew their staffs and swords. It was ti to subdue.
"You bastards!"
"Fuck all of you."
"Betrayers!"
"Motherfuckers!" The four that were chosen yelled out, but things had already been set in motion. An earth mage made the first move to capture them.
The earth gripped the legs of the four and tried to stop them from moving. The others imdiately attacked to make the best out of the opportunity.
The battle of six versus four raged for five minutes, with both sides taking damage, but the four were taking very heavy beatings.
One lost his leg, the other his hand, another his eyes, and another half his face, but they had to keep fighting if they wanted to walk out of here.
In the end, four of them were knocked out and handed to the minotaurs. The minotaurs left imdiately after they got the four, just as Silva promised.
The six that had subdued the others found places to rest, their bodies covered in their blood and the blood of the four they fought.
But in the end, they managed to survive. What they did here may weigh on their conscience for life, but at least they were alive.
Though, Silva had no plans to let them rest.
(Now head to the seventh floor.)
