Chapter 51: Fighting a guardian
Silva and Fang appeared before a massive door, but the door was not the issue; it was the massive pressure that came from behind it.
Silva felt like he would suffocate while standing there. He didn't want to take another step, but a force started pushing both of them.
The doors opened, and they were forced into what looked like an extremely massive throne room.
There was nothing in this throne room aside from the being that sat on the throne with its head down.
All the pressure came from that being. Silva's heart was racing for the first time; he had never felt this tense in his life. If not for the pressure he was feeling, he would have run away for sure.
The force pushed them until they stood halfway through the throne room. The being on the throne looked smallish, like a child.
"You are finally here," the being spoke. Its voice was small and childish, like a little girl.
She looked up at both of them, and the pressure intensified, but Silva still felt tense in her presence.
She was a child with jet black hair and two horns on her head. She got up from her throne and walked toward them, with black dragon wings and a dragon tail.
Her long black gown dragged on the floor as she walked.
Silva felt his heart beating faster than normal as she approached.
What would he do to get out of this situation? He wanted to activate the Joker of the Abyss, but then he heard the girl's voice in his head.
"Don't do that," she said. Her voice suppressed his Mana and stopped the activation of the Joker of the Abyss.
The Joker of the Abyss was his strongest spell. If that didn't work, there was really nothing he could do. Only her voice could suppress him.
She got closer and closer to them until finally, she stood right in front of Silva. She opened her arms, and Silva believed that his end had come.
But instead, he felt her arms wrap around him tightly. She buried her head in his chest as much as she could and didn't let go.
[The Labyrinth of the Dark Dragon has been transferred to you. Do you wish to accept?]
"Wait, what the hell? What's this?" Silva asked. He removed the girl from his body and gave her a very confused look.
"Did you do something just now?" he asked. The shock he felt now overpowered the fear he had.
She giggled and gave him a very cheeky smile.
"I transferred the labyrinth to you," she said, as if it were nothing.
Fang immediately fell to his butt when he heard that, while Silva looked on in disbelief.
"What? Wait, why?" His head was filled with tons of questions. What the hell was going on here?
"I'll explain everything you want, but now you must accept the labyrinth and fight the guardian."
"Guardian? What guardian?" Silva asked.
"For me to transfer the labyrinth to you, you must prove that you are strong. That was the reason I sent powerful monsters your way for you to get strong, and that's why I sent Fang.
I did all that so that the day you came here, you would be strong enough to defeat the guardian.
You weren't supposed to come here so fast. I was supposed to help you get even stronger, but you wanted to come, so hehe." The girl said.
"The fuck is 'hehe'? You want to kill me? Send me back. I have a feeling that this guardian will not be simple at all," Silva said.
"Too late. I no longer have control over the labyrinth. I transferred it to you. If you don't accept it, the labyrinth will self-destruct and kill all of us.
And if you accept it, you have to fight the guardian. Those are the only options now," the girl said.
'Fuck, this girl just set me up,' Silva complained in his thoughts. There was no choice now.
"I accept ownership of the labyrinth," Silva said.
[Ownership has been transferred to you]
[Congratulations on your ownership]
[50,000 EXP gained, 50,000 SP, 500 SP] x10
Silva nearly passed out from shock at the rewards he got. Maybe becoming the owner was not so bad.

By the time he finished leveling up, he was at level 55. Silva just stood there with his mouth open.

Silva had just become strong in an instant. He had so many stat points to distribute that his mouth began to water. He didn't know the strength of this guardian, so he had to get ready quickly.
"Add a thousand points to all stats." He decided to leave 1,000 stat points for emergencies.
The sudden spike in his stats caused a massive pain in his body. Silva fell to his knees and coughed up blood.
Fang wanted to help him, but the girl blocked him.
"Don't. He is preparing for his fight; don't interrupt him," she said.
After a few seconds, the pain subsided, and Silva got back on his feet. He wiped his mouth, and with a determined look on his face, he waited for the guardian.

This was what his current stats looked like.
A teleportation circle appeared in the hall, and a massive wyvern came out of it.
Silva tried to use Dragon Eyes on it, but for the first time since he got the skill, he couldn't see anything. Additionally, he received a grievous whiplash for trying to peer into the stats of the wyvern.
