SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC104: Father Versus Son
The dining hall became quiet after what Silva said; the kids didn't know what was happening, but Terron and his wife knew.
Terron stood up from his seat. He stood straight and asked Silva,
"Are you telling me that you are my son from thirteen years ago? The one that was sent away?" he asked.
"Ask your wife. She knew, and that was why she came to the academy.
She named me Silva; she was the one that asked for that name to be given to me so that one day she would find me.
She was the only one that cared if I lived or died. She was a mother, and she tried to fight for her son.
You, on the other hand, decided to kill a baby. Isn't that just great?" Silva asked with a smile. He took a bite of his food after he finished saying that.
"This is impossible. Even if you are my son, you should have no recollection of what happened that day. It shouldn't be possible," the Duke yelled; he wanted to prove this imposter wrong.
"Well, that is all the work of my Legacy. It allowed me to have perfect memory, unable to forget, so I recalled everything that happened as soon as I left the womb.
The pathetic look you gave me when you discovered that I had no affinities, everything you said, they are all burnt into my memory, Father," Silva said.
As he spoke, he checked the stats of his father; he wanted to know what he was up against.
Evolved Human
Lv: 12
Strength: 5000
Defense: 4500
Speed: 7000
Agility: 6500
Intelligence: 9000
Mana: 10,000
His father was quite the man, but it seemed Silva had overestimated him; he could crush this man as it stood.
"You mean to tell me that for thirteen years you have known who you are? Then why didn't you ever tell me?" Terron asked.
"Tell you? Tell you what? That I am your son? The one you tried to kill?
No, that's stupid, honestly. The stupidest thing I have ever heard. What the hell would I tell you for?"
"Hey, don't speak to my father however you feel like!" Oliver tried to be the perfect son and ran at Silva.
"Oliver, stop!" his mother and sister called out to him at the same time, but Oliver had made up his mind.
But before he could draw his sword, Silva was in front of him.
"When people are talking, don't interrupt, brother," Silva said. He grabbed Oliver by the face; the world seemed to go in slow motion as Silva threw Oliver with such speed that Oliver almost passed out from the force.
Terron leaped from where he stood and caught Oliver before he could hit the wall. He placed Oliver down to breathe and then faced Silva.
"I don't care what sort of things you have in your mind, but you will not maltreat my child like that," Terron said.
"Your child? Your child? I was your bloody child. Have you forgotten? I was a baby; I didn't ask to come to this world.
You couldn't control that thing between your legs; you got my mother pregnant, and I had to be born.
I didn't ask for any part in it; I was a victim of your horny activities. Yet I was the one set to be punished. Does that sound fair to you?" Silva asked.
Terron could not answer that; it was true that Silva had done nothing wrong. It was he, Terron, who, to preserve his name, decided to get rid of Silva.
Terron took a deep breath and tried to think things through to handle this situation he had found himself in.
"Alright, Silva, I was wrong. I didn't make the right call then.
You turned out talented and more powerful than I would ever expect. At such a young age, you have done so much.
So, right now, I'm begging that you forgive me. It may not be much, but you can inherit after me," Terron offered to Silva.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with you? Your wife, your kids, they are all here, yet you act shamelessly like you haven't done anything wrong.
How in the world do you expect me to simply forgive you? Are you insane? Is there something wrong with you, old man?" Silva asked.
"Silva, please, that is enough," his mother finally spoke up.
"Mum, allow me to handle this. This is an issue between father and son. If he feels that my behavior is so bad, he should try taking me down and punishing me.
I want to see just how strong the man who decided that my life is worthless is," Silva said.
"YOU WILL CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Terron roared. He unleashed his mana; it filled the room like a raging storm and caused the window to explode.
Lightning began surging around his body as he charged at Silva; the ground underneath exploded as he moved.
Silva smiled as he saw his father coming. He took out the Minotaur's Rage. His father made a lightning blade on his hand and stabbed at Silva. Silva used the axe to block; the collision caused the walls to crack and the room to shake.
Silva's mother used her light magic to create a barrier. His sister carried Oliver and took him into the barrier to meet his mother.
Terron thought that strike would be enough, but to his surprise, his hand was stopped by the axe, and Silva was smiling behind it.
"Dear father, is that the best you have? If so, then it's my turn," Silva said and spun the axe, slashing down to cut his father in two.
Terron leaped back and dodged the attack, but before he could get his footing, Silva used the momentum of the moving axe to leap into the air and send a kick to Terron's chest.
Terron was thrown back and crashed into the wall. He got back up and was honestly pissed.
He raised his hands and cast a spell.
"Thunder Arrow!" his voice boomed in the room as a three-meter-long lightning arrow fired at Silva.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC105: Family Reunion
The lightning arrow shot at a crazy speed that would be impossible for any normal person to dodge, but not Silva.
He didn't even need to use flash step to dodge it, he used his normal speed and dodged the attack.
The attack blew the entire wall, even the formations that were drawn into the house could not stop the force of the attack.
Silva took the opening after Terron cast the spell, he used flash step, attaining a teleport-like speed and arrived before his father.
He swung diagonally from down to up, his father did his best to react in time, covering his palms in thick lightning, and using his hands to parry the attack.
He was able to deflect the attack, but the force sent him stumbling backward.
"I see you are not called a great mage for nothing, your battle sense is very good, but I doubt it will be able to defeat me," Silva said.
His father didn't respond, he had acknowledged that Silva was a threat, a very strong one, he couldn't speak like an elder or father at this point, he had to concentrate and win.
But even that seemed to be far away, because he could tell that the difference in strength was great, even speed, and Silva was yet to even use magic at all.
"How? How did you get this strong in such a short time?" Terron decided to ask, he couldn't hold himself back from asking.
"You want to know? Well, I'm just that talented, the reason you didn't see it back then was because my body wasn't strong enough to hold my talent, hehe," Silva said.
"If that's so, then it wasn't my fault, how could I know that you would bloom late?" Terron said.
Silva frowned when he heard that, he gripped his axe, and his body vanished and appeared behind his father.
"You are making it worse, you old bastard," Silva said, he swung the broad side of his axe, slamming it into his father and sending his father into the wall.
After that, Silva stopped, he put away the axe, and picked up a seat, he sat down and faced his father who was getting up.
All this time, no one had come into the room, and that was because Silva had done something before he entered, he sealed off the room with a dark spell, and no one could get close to a hundred meters of the room.
Now he undid the seal and the running sound of the knights and guards could be heard headed this way.
They barged into the room, holding their swords and spears, with a blonde man leading them as captain.
Immediately they assessed what was happening, they all surrounded Silva and pointed their weapons at him.
The captain came closer and drew his sword.
"Don't move, you have caused havoc in the house of the Duke, your penalty shall be death," the guard said in a righteous tone.
"Are you dumb?" Silva asked. The guard got enraged and decided to attack.
"Stop it, Damien!" Silva's mother ordered. The captain stopped mid-air and immediately sheathed his sword.
"All of you leave now," she said. All the guards bowed their heads and left the dining hall.
After the guards left, the place became quiet, even his mother watched to see what would happen next.
"Duke Terron, or father, whatever you choose. I have cleared off my beef with you for now, I don't need your name or anything else, I just wanted to meet my mother and say hi to my siblings.
Now I can leave, and we don't have to see each other again," Silva said.
"Hahahahahaha," Terron laughed as he got up from the ground.
"I may have lost this fight, boy, but I don't plan to lose the war. No matter how strong you are, you can't defeat the whole kingdom.
The moment you entered here and declared that you were my son, you already made things hard for yourself.
I'll tell the whole kingdom that you were my son that went missing, and now you have been found. I'll make you bear the name of Terron and become the pillar that lifts me higher," Terron said shamelessly.
Silva could already tell what game his father was playing, and his father was actually going to win.
Silva didn't have the connection and influence that his father had yet. Even though he was rich, he couldn't buy the connections his father had.
Even if he went and spread the truth of what happened thirteen years ago, no one would believe him over his father.
But Silva was not one to go down easily, he had ways to make sure his father didn't spill the lies.
But as he was about to use this method, the system came online with a notification.
[A special message from the goddess has been delivered.]
[Silva, there are things only those of status can accomplish.]
That was the entire message, but it didn't take all his brains to understand that she was telling him to agree to carry his father's name.
And as usual, Silva simply obeyed the goddess, she was the only person his dragon pride didn't fight against.
"Fine, do what you want, but let me inform you ahead of time, I'll be making sure that I use your name and status to the max, regardless of what happens," Silva said and stood up.
He turned around, and to his surprise, his mother had basically leaped at him with her arms open, she caught him in a bear hug.
"It's been so long since I wanted to do this, so, so long," she said and started crying.
Silva hugged her back, they stayed that way for some time before she let go.
"You'll have to tell me everything tonight, I'll have a room ready for you," she said and left the room, she pulled Sage to help her.
Silva looked at his brother and his father.
"I don't plan to take over this house, and I also don't plan on forgiving you. I understand why you did what you did to protect your name, but there is no way I'll forgive you," Silva said and left the room.
Today had been quite eventful for Silva, now how would he move forward?

Silva spent most of the night talking to his mother in the room she prepared for him. She hugged him all through and only finally let go when he said he had to sleep.
But he didn't sleep after she left. He used the window to get to the top of the roof and sat there. After a while, his sister Sage came to the roof as well, like she knew he was there.
She sat beside him and they both looked at the stars in the sky. After a long while, she finally spoke.
"I don't know what to say at this point, I don't know how to feel after everything that just happened.
I don't know what to say after finding out that I had a little brother and my father tried to get rid of him," she said.
"You don't have to feel bad. I overdid things on my side, even the way I reacted to you the first time we met," Silva said.
"If so, then let's start afresh. We may not know each other, but you haven't done anything wrong to me or anyone.
If I were in your shoes, I would have done worse, I'm certain of it. The issue now is my brother. He will hate you because he wants to be family head, and with you now, that dream got crushed," Sage said.
"He will have to learn how to live with despair because he isn't good enough to rule anything. I'd prefer if you were the one that had it.
Not that it matters to me, I'm just thinking about how my life will be now that they will announce that I'm their son.
I have a family back in Ribest, and honestly, I love them all. I have to meet them to explain things. I basically have two families now," Silva said.
"Your sister, Lia, how do you think she'll take it?" Sage asked.
"Well, she may not say it outright, but she will be happy with the news. One of the reasons is that Lia is in love with me," Silva said.
"Whoa, you sound certain of that," Sage said.
"Yup, I know for a fact, and if word gets out about who I really am, it will give her a free opening to love me not as a sister but in a romantic way," Silva explained.
"That makes sense. Your life and everything will change after this day, the way people react to you and everything.
You may not notice it, but me and Oliver being the highest form of nobility in the academy makes it hard for us, but we try to cover it up.
Well, I'm sure it won't be a bother for you. You know how to handle attention since you have the entire third year against you," Sage said.
"That's the least of my worries. My main issue is those that will try to get under my skin from the political angle. They are the ones that will trouble me.
But for now, I'll keep watching and seeing what happens," Silva said and stood up and left her there.
When he spoke with her, he felt like she was somewhat reasonable, and so he decided to make a small connection with her first.
"This is just the beginning. The kingdom will accept a demon king candidate as one of their own, and as their prodigy. I feel like this is about to get fun," Silva said as he got into his room.
---
The next day, Silva made sure he returned to the academy early. He knew today was about to be the most stressful day of his life.
He found Lia as fast as he could and explained everything to her. He wanted her to know and digest it before the real announcement was made.
The news took her by shock, and she felt it was a joke, but she saw Silva was serious. It took close to an hour of explaining and more for him to make her understand.
Later that day, word went out from the Duke about Silva. It became a hot topic all over the city and the kingdom as well.
Many people started digging into the details of the person called Silva. Where did he grow up? What did he do?
Such attention was good, but it also started calling enemies to Silva.
Silva decided that he would stay in his room for the day, but those that knew him personally came to his room.
Leah, Lia, Michael, Aaron, Fay, and Sage—they were all in his room, only Oliver wasn't.
"It all makes sense now, your abilities and strength, it makes sense," Michael said.
"No, it doesn't. Silva has the strength of an S-ranked adventurer. I don't think him being a noble makes it reasonable," Fay pointed out.
"That's true. Even with noble blood, he is too much of an oddball," Aaron said.
"Guys, now's not the time for this. How is the outside looking?" Silva asked like he didn't already know.
"Well, you just got a fan club because the most good-looking first year, who is also the strongest, also turned out to be a noble, the son of a Duke," Leah said calmly.
"Yup, and it's made up of girls alone," Michael said. Immediately he felt the piercing gaze of Lia and Fay on him, so he quickly shut up and looked away.
"The boys, on the other hand, now hate you to their guts for exactly the same reason," Sage said.
"It's only been four hours since the news got to the academy. To think it would go that far in such a short time," Silva said.
"Well, you should start getting ready, young master, because duels will start coming in from left and right.
Many guys feel that if they beat you up, they will gain popularity and the attention of the girls," Leah said.
"A seriously stupid idea, but guys have massive egos, bro, and they will do anything in that regard," Michael said.
"Well, I'll just keep a low profile for now," Silva said. They all gave him a look that said, "You couldn't even keep a low profile if you tried with all your might, you walking overpowered machine."

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC107: Demonstration part 1
Advanced magical class. This was the class for those who wanted to learn more spells and better ways to use their magic in different situations.
It was generally an open class held in one of the large halls, but the S class students were all recommended to take it; they couldn't skip it.
So over a hundred students sat in the hall, with Silva's class. They were a mix of all first-year classes.
The instructor was a middle-aged man, Nick, with a slim build. He had a lot of grey hair and dressed in a minimalistic manner, wearing a white shirt and trousers.
When he walked into the hall, he took out his books from his ring and placed them on the teacher's table before turning to the board.
He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote down "Magical Formations," then turned to face the class.
"Welcome, all of you, to the first advanced magical class for the semester. You are already accustomed to how this academy works, so we will skip right into the topic.
Many of you, till date, use basic spells to cast magic, right? And some of you believe that this class will teach you some advanced spells, but you are wrong.
If you haven't maximized the weapons in your hands, what's the use of starting to teach you another one? It is pointless because you would reach an uncrossable plateau.
You have to first understand and master the intricacies of basic spells before you can step into advanced spells.
In your first year, building up your basic spells is what we will be doing here. It's when you get to the second year that you will start learning real advanced magic theory and some practicals.
Now, before I start my explanation on magical formations, are there any questions?" he asked, and several hands went up.
He picked a boy from the students, who got up and spoke.
"Sir, are you saying we can't learn advanced spells? Because I remember during the entrance exams, a student used an advanced spell." The boy asked. He was talking about Lia.
"Oh, I did hear about that, and it is very much a normal situation. There is nothing out of the ordinary with that.
I am not saying you can't learn it, but it is better if your time is invested in making the most out of every spell level before leaping into the next.
I have seen the files of the person that did that, and she received a lot of training before coming here to the academy. She has probably touched on the aspects of formations as well." Nick answered.
The boy raised his hand immediately again, and Nick picked him again. The boy got up and spoke.
"Sir, what you are saying is purely based on assumptions. Can this person show us that they have really touched what formations are?" he asked, and his question resonated with the other classmates, so they agreed.
"Sigh, well alright then. Miss Lia, can you come and show us your knowledge about formations?" Nick asked, but before she could stand up, Silva, who was beside her, got up.
"Sir Nick, what these people are asking for is completely unreasonable. The knowledge that my sister has was gained through her hard work. Why should she show off to someone for free? ԁ#ι#ѕ?ς@оν$ҽг-*
If he wants to see what she is capable of, he should be able to pay the price. Otherwise, she is not obligated to show anything to him." Silva pointed out.
The students started talking, but not about the matter; rather, they were talking about the fact that Silva called her sister.
People already knew that Silva was the Duke's son and that Lia's family had taken care of him.
"He called her sister? Does this mean he still takes her family as his own?" one girl asked in a hushed tone.
"Of course, he grew up with them. He only just met the Duke. He would be a monster to just throw away the family that took care of him." a boy answered her.
These sorts of discussions were happening all around.
"What's your name?" Nick asked the boy who had asked the question. He may know Lia and Silva, but he couldn't know everyone.
"My name is Brian, sir, from class 1B," he spoke.
"Well, you see, Brian, Silva Terron is currently the number one student in the whole first year. On that note, his words are quite precious.
Because if I decide to overlook what he said and force her to show off, I wouldn't be in trouble—you would be.
Imagine him wanting to make your life difficult; he has the resources, connections, and position to do so.
I like to take life realistically. I don't want to promise you that the academy would stop him, because we can't. He has the privilege on so many grounds.
So, that being said, do you have some sort of method to reward Miss Lia if she is capable of what we asked her? If she is not, then she will also reward you for wasting your time." Nick said.
Brian started looking flustered after that, but he had his pride as a man. He couldn't back down now; he could only step forward.
"Yes sir, I have currently accumulated a thousand points, and if she is able to do it, I'll transfer all my points to her."
To Lia, who had already made over five thousand points through academy work in just a few days, a thousand was not too tempting, but Silva was the one who set the stage, and so she would gladly take those points.
To the other students, that amount of points was absurd to give away. Only S class students could easily rake in thousands.
Nick looked over at Lia and asked, "Miss Lia, are you alright with that?"
"Yes," she said and stood up. She walked to the front of the class.
"Alright, Miss Lia, make any sort of magical formation or circle for demonstration purposes."

All eyes were pinned on Lia, but she didn't panic. She had received the best types of teaching and resources from Silva, more than most nobles could ever see.
She raised her hand, and without a spell chant, a magical circle formed over her hand, shocking everyone, but she didn't stop there.
discover-stories-on-MVLeMpYr
The circle expanded quickly and covered the whole space of the hall, and then snow began falling from the circle.
She looked at Nick with eyes that asked, is this enough? He nodded, and she stopped her demonstration and returned to her seat under the stupefied gazes of her mates.
Brian only came to realize at this time that he had messed up; if he hadn't been so egotistical, he could have saved himself the shame and also the points.
But there was no use crying over spilled milk. He would have to go and meet her after this class and hand them over to her; he dared not think of cheating her.
"Now that that is out of the way, I will explain what magical circles and formations are.
In this world, there exists Mana all around us. Magical circles use Mana from around us and items as well in order to amplify the effect of a spell.
It is a build of intricate and carefully set up Mana lines and patterns that draw out the Mana around it to amplify the base spell engraved in it.
Now we have wasted enough time, but your assignment for next class will be to read on formations and try to create your best formation.
I will be rewarding marks and points for it, so take it seriously," Nick said.
He ran into some more details about formations that would help with their assignment, and then the class was ended.
Before Silva could leave, Brian ran to their seat, but when he arrived, his throat nearly leaped out.
He saw Silva, Lia, Leah, Michael, Fay, Sage, and Aaron. These were all top tens of the academy, and their aura as they sat together made it hard for him to breathe. He struggled as sweat trickled down his face.
"Are you here to hand over your points?" Silva asked.
Brian managed to nod yes, but he was still shaking.
"My sister Lia and I have discussed something that will help you.
You see, I've decided to have eyes in all the classes and know what is happening. I can't be the top student and be ignorant about those under me.
So I need your help. A thousand points isn't something you can recover from easily, right? It will take a toll on you.
The food you eat will be the base cafeteria meal, and that doesn't have the nutrients to really keep you going. Stale bread and water—it sounds dreadful.
You need the points for studies and feeding, so if we take them, you will have a very hard time, and your studies will suffer.
I'm sure you don't want something as bad as that to happen, right?" Silva asked.
He pushed those images into Brian's head, making Brian see how dreadful it would be if he actually gave all his points now.
When Silva was certain that the idea had settled, he hit the nail on the head.
"So I have a proposal to help you. A thousand points—you can pay it over time, but there will be a constant one percent interest every three days.
So all you have to do is give her whatever you can, whenever you can, and it will slowly reduce, but be warned, the interest will still be the same.
What I mean is, the one percent interest is 10 points, no matter how much you have paid back. Even if all you have left to pay is one point, and you miss three days, you will owe eleven because of the interest.
Finally, for the mercy I have shown you, you will become my informant in your class. You will update me and give me regular information about key happenings.
How does that sound? It's a good deal, right? You get to keep your points and pay back little by little, without any hassle.
And you just have to inform me of happenings. That's definitely a good deal," Silva persuaded.
Because Brian's head was full of thoughts of how dreadful it would be to give all his points now, he quickly accepted the deal, thinking he had taken the best route here.
If only he knew he was signing his soul to the devil right now.
Silva took out a contract. It was a special type that bound the people by blood, and if anyone broke their part, they would receive a backlash and die.
He had bought a few from the stores the other day because he wanted to start making some moves. He could use a darkness contract spell, but that would be unorthodox.
Silva wrote the details of the deal and handed it to Brian. Brian read it and found nothing out of the ordinary, so he took a knife from his ring, closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and cut his finger, allowing a drop of blood to rest on the paper.
Silva did the same. He took a blade and cut his finger with a smile, allowing his blood to drip onto the paper. The paper glowed and disintegrated into dust, meaning the deal was set.
"You can go now. Your interest will start after three days from now," Silva said.
Brian thanked Silva and left. After he left, Silva gave a happy chuckle.
"He's dumb," Leah pointed out.
"He couldn't see that Silva was making him a long-term slave, probably until the end of the academy," Sage said as well.
"How come?" Michael asked.
"Allow me to explain," Fay spoke up. She had watched her father work, so she knew certain things about business and deals.
"Ten points will be added to the points that boy owes every three days. I'm guessing that the boy would want to pay in at least hundreds.
But to get up to a hundred, he would need a week or so, and he can't just give Silva everything, so it will take two weeks for him to pay a hundred.
What's more is that there are fourteen days in two weeks, and when divided by three, we have a figure with a remainder of two.
So that boy will have to give an additional forty points as interest, no matter what amount he brings.
But there's more. Let's look at it realistically."

"When we look at it realistically, Keep won't be able to even keep up the hundred points payment, that interest will catch up to him, and that would elongate the time of his service," she explained.
---
Later that day, Silva decided that it was time to head into the labyrinth. It had been about three days, and today he needed to eat. Yes, gluttony was on its last day.
Though he had enough souls locked up, he decided to go; those souls could be for later.
The guards already knew him, so they let him in as soon as he reached the gate. Silva decided not to call Fang, Dawn, and Gallan.
story-at-MvLeMpYr
His clones would be enough if he wanted to get serious. He walked through the first floor like it was his house.
The Mangledons that attacked him were too weak, so he got rid of them easily. He passed through the second floor.
When he got to the third floor, he was immediately met with a massive Mangledon about twelve feet tall.
The Mangledon charged at Silva. It swung its fist at him, Silva blocked it to gauge the strength.
His hands trembled a bit after receiving that attack, but the strength was not impressive to him.
He grabbed hold of the Mangledon's arm and twisted it. The arm tore off easily, and he used the arm to swing it into the face of the Mangledon.
The fist slammed into the face and sent it crashing into a wall. He followed up immediately, punching into the head of the Mangledon, crushing the head.
Immediately after killing that one, he sensed a horde headed his way. Silva pointed his hand in the direction.
As soon as the Mangledons showed up, he fired dark blades rapidly, cutting through the horde.
He wiped out half of them and then charged into their midst like a bullet. His speed was faster than they could react to, and he tore them apart easily.
Silva had muted his notifications except for the level-up notification, so when he leveled up, it came through.
[Level up, 2 free stat points]
He finally leveled up to 70, but he didn't stop there.
After finishing the Mangledons, he headed deeper into the labyrinth when suddenly he heard a scream.
He knew someone was about to get killed, but Silva wasn't a hero. Still, he decided to check it out.
The only people allowed here were fourth years, and if there was a Mangledon that even a fourth year couldn't beat, then he wanted to kill it—that would be more EXP for him.
Silva ran in that direction and saw a group of Mangledons, five in total, about to kill a female student.
"Wow, this academy is shit, allowing students to come here and die," Silva said. He leaped into the air and fired a dark bullet, but the bullet didn't pass through the head of the Mangledon, which was a shock.
It did, however, draw their attention and caused them to face Silva. Silva used his dragon eyes on them, wondering why it was able to block that shot.
They had stats over 600, and it was just the basic dark bullet that he used to shoot; he didn't make it special.
The Mangledons charged at him. They were faster than any he'd faced so far. He was sure these Mangledons were not supposed to be on the third floor.
It was possible they had chased this girl from the lower floors.
A Mangledon leaped at Silva, trying to bite his head off. Silva stepped back and grabbed the mouth of the Mangledon, ripping it apart.
He used the body to throw at the other incoming Mangledons, then gave chase. He took out his sword and slashed, firing an abyss flame arc.
The flames burned through the Mangledons, causing them immense pain. They started thrashing around, trying to hit Silva before they died.
"Not happening. Gates of Hell." Silva cast his spell, and the gates opened to take all their souls.
He then used Gluttony on them. These were stronger Mangledons, and he was sure they would have some skills he could take.
[Gluttony activated]
[3000 EXP gained] x10
[You have gained Skill, Charge]
[Charge: improve speed for a short distance Dash by 2 times] x10
The skill felt pretty useless to Silva, and unlike the other time, he didn't get multiple choices. He already had Flash Step and didn't see the need for Charge at all.
"Sigh, well, whatever," he said and started walking away.
"Wait!" the girl called out to him, but Silva didn't pay attention. He didn't want her thanks or her questions.
"At least tell me your name," she said.
"Sigh, Silva Terron," he said and walked away.
Silva immediately headed deeper inside the labyrinth at full speed. He wanted to see what level he had to reach to start seeing this as a real challenge.
He went deeper and deeper, ignoring all the little fries along the way. But if any tried to obstruct him, he would simply smash them to pieces.
Just like that, he made it to the tenth floor, the last recorded floor to be raided.
After the tenth floor, there were mysteries beyond, and now he was about to find out.
Silva stepped into the next floor, and the whole place changed. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all.
He started using his senses and Vibration Sensing to navigate. He headed into the corridor, and soon he found a group of monsters.
They looked like Mangledons, but their skin seemed different—like metal.
The monster immediately charged at Silva. With every step, it caused sparks on the floor. It suddenly extended a silver blade from its arm and slashed at Silva.
Silva leaped back, dodging the attack, but before he landed, the metallic Mangledon was already charging at him.
Silva could tell without a doubt that this monster surely had stats over a thousand. The Mangledon kept slashing and pushing Silva back.
Its attacks were quite simple, relying mostly on its strength—no technique or anything.
After watching it for a while, Silva took out his sword and blocked the attack. The backlash caused the Mangledon to be pushed back several steps.
Silva then charged at the Mangledon. He stabbed for the head and forcefully tore through the hard metallic surface, killing it.
The Mangledon disappeared and left a small metallic core. Silva took the core and then went deeper inside.
Silva now understood why the Mangledons had Vibration Sensing and could see in the dark—it was because they lived in places like this.
The ones on the upper floors were just weaker versions of these.
Because of the ruckus he made during the fight, more Mangledons started heading his way, three of them.
As soon as they were in range, they charged at him with their blades. Silva dodged the attack of the first one and stabbed the gut of the Mangledon.
Another one attacked immediately. Silva moved out of the way, and its blade stabbed into the ground, stuck for a second. That second was all Silva needed.
He leaped up and delivered a kick to the head of the Mangledon, completely removing its head.
He stepped on the body, used it as a springboard, and stabbed right into the head of the next Mangledon, killing it. The body fell and turned into a metallic core.
Silva took the core and continued his journey inside. He decided to go as deep as the twelfth floor, and when he reached there, he would turn back for now.
---
Back in a dimly lit room, a cloaked man sat at a desk watching a small black bird in a cage.
He stared at the bird for hours until finally, he took out a small pin and stabbed it into the bird.
Nothing happened for a few seconds, but then suddenly, the bird started screeching and thrashing around madly until it turned into a grotesque bird.
The man reclined into his chair when he saw that the bird had transformed, and he started whistling a tune.
After he finished, he burned the whole letter.
"Silva, so he was the son of a Duke? He was a lost son? That story does not check out. That boy wasn't lost; he knew what he was doing all the time.
There's no way he wouldn't know that he wasn't truly the son of the one he was with, and it would be easy for someone like him to find his parents.
Something is being hidden by the Duke. It's probably a ploy to stop things from escalating.
But that aside, this Silva has become way more interesting than before," the man said. He opened the cage and took out the bird abomination.
The bird writhed and thrashed around, and the man simply snapped its neck and killed it. From the darkness of his cloak, the outline of an evil smile showed on his face

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC110: Something good
When Silva finished with the eleventh floor, he felt a strange energy calling from the deeper floors. He decided that he wouldn't go now.
When he had more time, he would enter and spend enough time searching the labyrinth.
Right now, a few things had to be fine before he could be free like that. There was the issue with the monster wave that was headed for Ribest.
Then there was the issue of him being the son of a Duke. He was yet to personally go and tell his mother and father in Ribest the news.
He was sure that they had already heard about it, but that didn't change anything. He decided that this weekend he would go to Ribest with Lia and talk to them, also probably bring them to the city to meet the Duke and his mom.
As Silva thought about going, he remembered that Mike was in the city; he would have to check on Mike and take him back as well. The whole family needed to be there.
The weekend started the next day, so it was the best time for him to go.
Silva left the labyrinth and headed to the store. The woman was a bit surprised to see him back so soon, but she said nothing.
Silva took out all the basic core drops and handed them to the woman. It was as much as the last time, which still shocked her.
Then he took out the metallic cores and dropped them. When she saw those, she froze in shock, staring at them with wide eyes.
"Ho-how did you get these?" she asked, stammering as she spoke.
"In the labyrinth, of course," Silva responded.
"Sigh, sorry, but I won't be able to award any points for them until they are shown to the director.
These cores are extremely precious and very expensive; only the director can decide on what to do with them," she said.
"Oh, is that how it is? Well, no problem then. When I return from the weekend, you can hand over the points to me after your discussion," Silva said.
check-out-MvLeMpYr
"That will be good. I'll still give you the points for the basic cores, so hand me your card."
Silva handed his card to her. She took it and transferred over twenty thousand points to him. He collected his card back and left the store.
"Good thing I didn't take out all, she might have just passed out," Silva said to himself as he left.
On his way back to his room, through a corridor, Silva spotted a group of second years standing and waiting, a total of five boys.
Silva had only really had interaction with the third years of the academy; he was yet to meet the second and fourth years, so he had no business with the second years. He simply walked by.
But then, they stepped forward and blocked him, and a white-haired boy began talking.
"So you are the Silva that's got the whole school heated. Prodigy student defeats not one but two third years, also turns out to be the son of a Duke.
You're the hot topic across all years. The girls are all about how good-looking and strong you are. All that must be getting to your head, right?" the boy asked.
Silva gave him a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
"Don't you have anything better to do? Like seriously, is there nothing you'd rather be doing right now than be here spewing rubbish?" Silva asked.
"You bloody bastard!" the boy roared. He nearly threw a fist but managed to stop it in time.
"Your hand would have been crushed into bits had you hit my face," Silva said with a devilish smile.
"So that's how it is, eh? You're getting cocky. You might be the son of a Duke, but within this academy, that doesn't matter at all," the boy said.
"Son of the Duke? You think I care about that? I was already a B-ranked adventurer by the age of twelve. I have more wealth than some noble homes, and that was long before I knew anything about the Duke.
I don't need the Duke to change the shape of your face in one punch. So you want to test that out?" Silva asked.
He decided to be proud. He decided to shove his success into this boy's face and show him how little he was.
All the boys had started getting pissed at what Silva was doing. They really wanted to beat him up.
Silva walked closer to him and spoke. "If you don't like what I'm saying, then I'll duel all of you, all of you at the same time.
In fact, I challenge all of you to a duel at the same time. You can't refuse since I am the junior here.
The duel will be on the first day after the weekend. You have enough time to prepare because I will be going all out, and I'll make sure that I show all of you what hell can look like.
The rules of the duel are that there is no giving up, and the only way to lose is when the person passes out." Silva said as he walked past them, leaving them stunned.
Silva bounced out of there feeling triumphant. What better way to boost his popularity than to take out five second years at the same time?
Silva wanted one thing: to take over the academy. His dreams had led him to the academy, but they hadn't shown him what to do now again, so he decided to do anything that came to mind.
It was possible that he would be on the right path, and he would understand why the goddess wanted him to be here.
[Congratulations, you are on the right path to understanding your task. The goddess Ophelia has rewarded you with a question ticket.]
[A question ticket allows you to ask one question to the system and receive an answer. Ensure to think about your question properly before asking.]
"Ohh, something good has arrived."

Silva spent the night thinking about what it is that he would ask. This was a ticket that allowed him to break the Order and ask whatever he would like.
But Silva understood that whatever he asked, the system would try to give an answer that would answer him and still not answer him. He was smart enough to know that.
And so, the parliament of the minds was called into session, and in the end, they decided that the best question was not to ask what his task is, but to hit a very specific issue and not go broad.
"System, I want to ask my question now, and my question is, what is my importance to this world now."
This was a very simple and basic question, but it allowed Silva to see if he was really needed and if all his actions were important.
[Answering, your existence is needed to a very high degree. If Silva Terron is removed from this world, there will be no next generation, and the definition of peace would cease to exist.]
Silva was right, it gave a vague answer that answered and left more questions, but it at least made Silva know that he had a serious role to play.
And as a prideful dragon, that made him feel happy.
---
The next day, Silva and Lia left the academy to head back to their town. They would only be able to stay there for a day before they had to start coming back due to the length of the journey.
They headed early to the adventurer's guild to ask about Mike. Luckily, they found out Mike's location without issue; he had found a place to live in the city.
Silva and Lia headed there. They knocked on the door, but there was no response. It seemed he wasn't inside.
Silva decided that they would leave and head back home without him, but as they turned to leave, they saw him coming towards the house.
"If it isn't the son of the Duke," Mike said as he approached.
"Seems the news got to you as well, Mike," Silva said.
"I would have to be living under a rock not to know what happened. You are basically the talk of the town. Many people don't even know your face, yet they know all about you," Mike said.
"I didn't expect it to be that big of a deal, but that's not why we are here. Sorry to spring it up on you, but we want to take you back to Ribest to see Mum and Dad. They deserve some explanation as to what has happened," Silva said.
"That makes sense, but I would have preferred a heads-up. Either way, I'm sure you would have informed me if you could.
So, do you have a carriage ready?" Mike asked.
After waking up, the contrast that he showed from his former behavior was daylight clear. It was as though the evil spirit that had been making him act that way had left him.
"Yeah, that's not an issue, it's waiting up the street. I'll show the way," Silva said.
---
By the streams of a beautiful lake, a young man sat on a rock, splashing his legs through the water.
He looked like he was only twelve, his face smooth and young, with soft blue eyes.
His long blue hair covered his bare back as he sat wearing only a simple short.
The air in the surroundings was very clear, and the Mana that had soaked the entire environment was very high.
This would be paradise to any person who had Mana.
The boy sat quietly without saying anything for a while, but then a man came out of a shadow and knelt behind the boy with his face down.
He wore black tight clothes like that of an assassin, only his head was open to be seen.
"Young master, I have news for you.
Another demon lord candidate has been found as you asked us to do.
But there is an issue, this candidate is said to be very strong, and aside from that, he also stayed with the humans.
We do not know if he knows that he is a candidate yet, but Laura was able to find out with her special ability," the man spoke. -content
"Is she the one that told you of his strength?" the boy asked without turning.
"Yes, she said she tried to pry into it, but all she got was a slight glimpse, and from that glimpse, she could tell that he was strong.
It is the first time I have seen her speak of any of the candidates she has seen like that.
It seems he is really different from the rest," he said.
"Different? That's intriguing. If this is so, then we will have to find this person and bring him here.
Remember the plan: to be the one that controls the other demon lord candidates and lead them to finally crush the humans.
We can't let one of our own live with the humans; we have to save him and raise him to be the demon lord that he ought to be.
As a disciple of one of the demon lords, I take this as my responsibility," the boy said and stood up, walking towards the man in slow steps.
"The place this boy is, where is it?" he asked.
"It is a kingdom not too far away from here. Laura said that. She didn't tell me the name, though. The young master will have to ask her that himself."
"So, it is neither the Holy Kingdom nor the Empire, just a small kingdom.
Then it should really be no issue. We should get ready to head there.
I'll have a word with Laura and ask about the details. You, on the other hand, will send the word to my elites and also to my master.
You will inform him that I will not be around for a while. I'll go to that kingdom myself and find the person who is to be one of the demon king candidates."

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC112: Quin is getting married
When Silva arrived at Ribest, the word of his arrival spread like wildfire. Everyone in town knew the boy Silva, the anomaly that they had all come to love.
So when the news that he was the son of a Duke reached them in Ribest, they were hit with many feelings.
Would they ever see this boy that had grown with them? They also felt that his absurd talent made sense.
But even with all this, they never saw him as an outsider; he was still one of the rising stars of Ribest.
As Silva, Mike, and Lia walked through the street, they were greeted by everyone, with people being all friendly with Silva. No one wanted to care if he became the son of the Duke.
Silva also didn't care. The name Terron was just for formality, he knew nothing about being a noble, and he was not ready to learn. He had enough on his plate as it stood.
As they headed for their home, Silva saw Quin and his party. Immediately Silva laid eyes on Quin, he could tell that something was different.
He didn't know what it was exactly, but he felt the essence of a power in Quin, one like that of a legacy.
But it didn't feel complete; it felt as though it was a legacy, and yet it was not a legacy. But he could tell that whatever that thing was, it made Quin a whole lot stronger than the last time.
He wanted to use his dragon eyes to check out Quin's stats, but then he was tackled by the one and only Roxy.
She hugged him with so much force that they fell to the ground with her on top. She buried her head into Silva's chest like a puppy looking for warmth.
The others just watched in shock. They were used to her clinging to Silva, but they didn't think she would be this happy to see him.
Silva decided to respond to her hug and wrapped his hands around her. He could feel Lia's gaze on Roxy, but he acted as though he couldn't.
"I missed you so much," Roxy said with her head still buried in his arms.
"I know, I've been busy, that's why I've not been able to come," Silva said.
"Hmph, you have to make it up. I know you will only be staying here today, so take me out on a date tonight to make it right," she demanded.
Everyone watched silently at the two of them, the only sound being Lia struggling to control her breath, trying not to get mad.
"Fine, I'll do that, but for now, get off me, please," Silva said.
Since she had gotten what she wanted, she had no issues with getting off him. She stood up and helped Silva stand as well.
Silva dusted himself off a bit and walked up to meet Quin.
"It's been a while, Quin," Silva said with a stretched-out hand for a handshake.
"It's been quite long, bro," Quin said and hugged Silva rather than shake him.
Though it had only been weeks since they left, it felt like it was years, because they all grew together and were used to seeing each other every day.
Mike also walked up to Quin, but before he could say anything, Quin hugged him.
"It's good to see you back, you mischievous idiot," Quin said.
"Well, it's good to be home for a bit, bro," Mike said.
During his time as an adventurer in Blacklight City, he had enough time to think, and he really thought about all that he had done.
He had almost thrown away his loving family, a family that didn't care if he was less talented or more talented.
At first, it was because of Lia, but very quickly, it stopped being about her and was simply about his pride.
And the more he tried to protect his pride and make it look like Silva was the evil person, the more he fell deeper into his delusions.
Before he knew it, he could no longer see anything else but the truth. Everything became his warped perspective that he created.
And that perspective was that everything would have been okay if Silva never showed up. If Silva was never brought into his life, everything would be okay.
But that was a lie. Silva was what the family needed. Silva allowed the family to have a fancy life; he allowed Lia to chase her dreams of becoming a mage.
And all while doing this, Silva never asked for anything in return. Even though they weren't his real family, he never showed them disrespect.
Mike took in a deep breath and let the air go with a smile. He would have succumbed to the abomination that day if it hadn't been for Silva and his cringe lines.
Quin let go of Mike and looked at the group.
"Let's go to the tavern first and have a small talk before we head home to mum and dad. There is something I have to tell you all," Quin said.
The group agreed and headed to the closest tavern. They all headed in, and their presence drew attention as expected.
Silva wasn't at the legal age of drinking yet, which was fourteen, so he didn't partake in the ordering of drinks.
Though nobody would care or try to stop him if he wanted to. Silva was more well-known and loved in the town than even the mayor himself.
The drinks arrived, and those that wanted to started drinking.
"The reason I wanted to come here is simple: I'm getting married," Quin said.
Silva, Mike, and Lia froze immediately when they heard that. They ran it through their heads multiple times to be sure that they weren't wrong.
"Did you say getting married?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, I am. I've been planning on writing you all letters to inform you, but I've been a bit busy," Quin said.
"How? When? You never looked like you had any romantic relationships happening," Silva said.
"Not everyone can be like you, Silva. The amount of people that love you is quite high, so you have to do things in general to not cause issues and mislead anyone.
For me, I was able to do what I wanted in secret until we were ready to let people know," Quin explained.
"Hey, you basically called me a playboy just now. I'll have you know I'm still single," Silva said.
"Ha, let's check that theory," Quin said. read-this-on-MVLeMpYr
"People who love or adore you, Silva: right here at this table we have Lia and Roxy," Quin said.
Lia immediately went tomato red when Quin said that. She squealed and covered her face in embarrassment.
Though it was evident from the very beginning that she had some feelings for Silva, her status as sister wouldn't allow her. She was terrible at hiding that type of stuff.
Roxy, on the other hand, had already made everyone know that she loved Silva, so she had no reaction to what Quin said.
"Now, aside from these two, there are also Fay, the Viscount's daughter, and that beast-woman adventurer as well.
Only the heavens know how many you have found in that academy," Quin said.
"Silva is a real playboy," Rock said, and everyone at the table nodded in agreement.
"Oh come on, I'm only thirteen. Stop making it look like I'm some guy that chases women all around," Silva cried out.
"The issue is your face. Have you tried leaving just bed head and a dirty face for once a day?" Rock asked.
"Silva sleeps like a rock, he doesn't toss, so his hair doesn't get too scattered. Also, his mana is way too high; it would eliminate any dirt after some time," Quin said.
They all burst into laughter after that.
"Hey hey hey, we are going off-topic right now. It isn't about me now; it's about Quin and his marriage," Silva said, bringing their attention back to what had started the discussion.
"So Quin, have you told mum and dad about it?" Silva asked.
"Yeah, they gave us their blessings. Mum was eager for a grandchild already; she said we grew too fast and all left her at the same time," Quin said with a laugh.
"Alright Quin, now the most important question of all: who is she, what's her name, do I know her?" Silva asked.
"Oh, I haven't told you who she was yet. Well, she is here with us, Tera Linsword," Quin said, and for the second time, Mike, Silva, and Lia froze.
They slowly turned their eyes to look at Tera, and she immediately looked away.
"How long has this been going on, Tera?" Silva couldn't stop himself from asking.
She didn't answer, though; she just looked away, refusing to meet his eyes.
"Sigh, either way, bro, you have the eyes of a god. I don't think it gets better than her, and with how she is, you guys would match effortlessly. You have my go-ahead," Silva said with a real smile.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC113: Back Home
After they finished and left the tavern, Quin split up the party, so now only he and his siblings were headed to their house to meet his parents.
The walk was not too long, and they made it in under ten minutes. When they arrived, his mother was outside. Immediately she saw them, she ran and grabbed Silva, Mike, and Loa in a group hug.
"Welcome back," she said, filled with excitement.
"Mum, you didn't welcome me," Quin said and pouted.
"You are yet to give me a grandchild, so there is no welcome for you," she said.
She dragged Mike and Silva inside, Loa and Quin followed behind.
When they walked in, they saw their father using a rag to clean a sword. When he looked up and saw his kids, he dropped the sword and stood up immediately.
"Whoa, what's happening, to see all my children at the same time," he said and hugged each of them.
After he greeted all of them, they all sat down. Lia and her mum went into the kitchen to make some tea and snacks.
"You three are still so young, yet all I can see right now are men sitting down," he said with a smile.
"Well, one of us is becoming a man after all," Mike said. He and Silva glanced at Quin, and Quin looked away to avoid their eyes. story-at-MvLeMpYr
"Oh, it seems he has informed you about his marriage. It came as a shock that he wanted to marry that noble lady. But she is really a great girl, and I feel she will be a great match for Quin," their father said with a smile.
"Dad, stop, you are embarrassing me," Quin said.
"Shut up, boy, I'm not old yet. If you talk again, I'll whop your ass," he said and then burst into laughter.
"In the case of Quin, she was the prince, and he was the damsel," their mother said as she and Lia brought out the snacks.
She placed them down and took a seat beside her husband. Lia also sat down beside Silva, as expected.
"She was the one that made a move on him. Your wimpy brother couldn't do anything. Not long after you guys left, she asked him out, and some weeks later, he asked her to marry him," their mum said.
"So she was the one who asked you out?" Silva asked.
"Well, yeah, but I was the one who proposed," Quin said.
"Yeah, you got lucky. I would have probably attacked you if I found out that she also proposed to you," Silva said.
"Hey, calm down, Silva. I always wanted to ask her out, but I wasn't sure if she would accept. And before I could get the courage to ask her, she did," Quin said.
"The best swordsman in Ribest can't ask a girl out. That's really something," Mike said, and they all laughed at Quin's expense.
After they all calmed down, Silva sat up and spoke.
"I'm sure that you all know about what happened and that it was found out that I was the son of the Duke," Silva said.
"We heard about that, but you don't have to worry, Silva. You are still our son, my little child. And I'll not allow even the Duke to monopolize you," his mother said.
"I know, Mum. I was never going to stop being your son. I don't care about the Duke and all. They are my family in name. But still, I now have two families, and I want both to meet and get to know each other. So I want you and Dad to come to Blacklight and see the Duke and his family.
My real family to meet my biological family. It can be anytime, but I'd like it to be soon," Silva said.
"You don't have to worry, kiddo. We will go there as soon as possible. I have to give that Duke a piece of my mind about what happened," his dad said.
Silva actually knew the truth about what his father wanted to say to the Duke. Silva was delivered to their house, and it didn't look like he had gotten lost. It was as though someone had asked that he be taken away.
So Silva's father wanted to ask the Duke what really happened. But he didn't want Silva to know about his plans at all.
After their discussion, they spent time talking and catching up until some time passed.
Silva left the house later and decided to head for the labyrinth. There was a lot he had to discuss with the guardians, especially on the matter of the beast wave.
He got to the labyrinth. Outside, it was filled with tons of stalls selling lots of things and other businesses, from armors to potions and more.
Everyone who knew Silva immediately greeted him with respect as he passed by. Some tried to get him to shake their hands, and others hailed from afar.
Those that didn't know him began asking.
"Who the hell is that kid? Is he the son of some noble or something?"
"Well, technically, it was discovered that he is the son of the Duke, but he was a little prodigy that grew here. He is hailed as the strongest of the town, Silva Terron."
"So he is the one that everyone has been talking about, the lost son of the Duke. Honestly, I thought that story was bogus, but it seems I was wrong about that."
Silva didn't pay attention to them. He walked into the labyrinth unhindered.
From the first floor, he began seeing a lot of adventurers, young and old, fighting. He simply walked through without care and made it to the second floor.
He kept going until he was at the fifth floor and then teleported when no one was there.
Immediately after he appeared in the throne room, he was jumped by Elsa.
"Daddy!" she called out as she leaped on him and sent him to the ground.
"That's the second time today, dammit," Silva complained as he lay on the ground like he had given up.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC114: Handling the Beast wave issue
Elsa finally got off Silva. He got up and stretched his body before heading for the throne. He sat there, and Ella sat on his lap.
All the guardians and his summons, aside from Dawn, bowed before him.
"Alright, let's get straight to business. The beast wave, that was the reason I came here," he said.
"Well, my Lord, the reason is really simple, to be honest," Drake said and came forward.
"Lily was scouting the area for certain materials for her study, and then she noticed an upset in the beast movements from a forest and mountains to the north.
It seems that something has awakened, and its presence is causing the beasts to start moving. If it is not stopped, all of them will head in this direction," Drake said.
"I understand the situation then. How about we head to that place and have whatever it is killed?
I'd like one or two of the guardians to come with me to the location to battle whatever is there.
We can't openly protect Ribest, well, not yet. And this town is like my safe zone, so it can't be damaged at all," Silva gave his take.
The matter seemed to be less confusing than he had expected. He thought he would have to make plans and everything to stop the wave.
He grossly underestimated how powerful his team was.
"Alright then, let Lily and Zack go with you. Lily is the one who found out about the beast wave, and Zack has been in search of a real battle.
The rest of us have been busy and unable to help him out. This should prove useful to him," Drake explained.
"Alright then, I'll go with both of them. We will leave in half an hour. You all can leave. Zack and Lily, let's meet here in half an hour. Drake, Gallan, and Fang, you stay," Silva said.
They all nodded and teleported away except for the three he mentioned and for Elsa, who had rested on his lap.
"Gallan, Fang, the reason I asked you to stay is unrelated to the place I am going. I'd like for Gallan to get stronger.
So, I am asking that you, Fang, engage in battles with him from today, push him with all you have, and force him to evolve. If you understand, then you can both go," Silva said. They both nodded quietly and left the throne room.
Silva dropped Elsa from his lap and walked to the back of the throne.
"I'd like to pick some high-grade weapons, mostly one-time-use weapons. We don't know what we may face there, so we have to be ready for anything," Silva said as he opened the door to the library.
Drake and Elsa followed him inside. He headed for a section where some explosives were stored.
All of them were above Advanced Tier, and one of these would cost hundreds to thousands of gold.
He stocked up with a lot of them for a while and then he was ready to leave.
"Master, you should take this as well," Drake showed him a wooden doll. always-on-MvLeMpYr
"What does it do?" Silva asked.
"If you drop blood on it, the doll will grow and activate. It will use exactly the same power as that person.
It will fight with the power of the person whose blood touched it. So if you face a strong enemy, all you have to do is make their blood touch the doll, and you'll have a fighter that can combat the enemy.
The only thing to take note of is that it has a one-hour duration, and it will turn to dust after that. But not to worry, there are hundreds of them stored, and the method to make more exists here," Drake explained.
Silva immediately fell in love with the ability of that doll. He took it from Drake and placed it with the other things he had collected.
After he finished, they left the library and waited for Lily and Zack.
After half an hour passed, Zack and Lily finally arrived at the throne room.
"Alright, we should get going. I have a date this evening, and I have to be back before then," Silva said.
Lily activated a magical circle that would drop them close to the forest. Silva walked into the circle, Zack carried his massive axe and walked into the circle.
The circle flashed, and they appeared at the edge of the forest. The reason she couldn't teleport them in was because the mana of the being that had woken up was interfering, and that could cause a lot of issues.
Silva could already feel the presence deep in the mountains, and it got stronger by the moment. He could understand why the beasts would have a hard time here.
When it got too much for them to handle, they would all start running away, and that would be the beast wave.
Silva walked into the forest, and they started running. Lily flew close behind, and Zack ran as well.
Their aura was enough to ward off any beast as they made their way to the mountains. The mana got stronger as they went.
The amount of mana had already surpassed that of Silva, and that was alarming. The only person he had seen with mana this high was Lily.
Though hers was still much higher by comparison. They got to the base of the mountain, and there were no beasts; the environment was no longer safe for them.
Silva could tell whatever it was, it was deep underground.
"Zack, make a crater as big as you can," Silva said. Zack nodded and then took his axe.
The axe began glowing blood red, his eyes also began glowing as he lifted the weapon above his head.
Silva and Lily gave him some space. He roared as he struck down. The axe hit the ground, and the explosion that followed was extremely loud and massive.
And when the dust and particles died down, there was a massive crater with a hole at the center. The attack had broken into the underground chamber.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC115: Clone Army
Because of the sound and force of the explosion, whatever was underground got furious, and its mother exploded out like a raging typhoon.
This spike in Mana was what the beasts needed to start the beast wave. They couldn't take it anymore and all started leaving the forest, heading for the town in the hundreds.
Silva immediately telepathically contacted Elsa.
"Elsa, the beast wave is incoming. We need to stop it before it goes anywhere. Get Gallan and Fang to handle it, along with one of the Guardians and as many labyrinth beasts as you will need.
The beasts are at least five hundred or more, so I'll leave it to you. Make sure that you ensure the battle is fought away from human eyes; we don't want word of it going out," Silva informed her.
"Alright, daddy," she said and then ended their connection.
Silva turned his attention to the hole that was before him. The Mana was violently rushing out, and whatever was in there was coming out soon.
"Let's be battle-ready. We don't know what will be there, but we have to ensure we take it down quickly," Silva said.
Suddenly, faster than he could react, a massive burst of chaotic energy exploded from the ground.
Lily darted to his side and used her magic to form a barrier and protect him. Zack also used his axe to split the energy, but you could tell from the way his feet dragged that it was tough.
When the energy explosion died down, Silva asked Lily, "What energy was that? I have never felt something like that."
"I think I have felt this energy before. It is a very special one that is only born from the merge of all elements. It is called chaos energy.
It is said to be capable of doing anything as long as the person has mastered it.
Many races have the ability to sense more than one element. Fairies, elves, and spirits are the ones who are capable of learning a lot.
Some people learn all the elements and then merge them into one, a very difficult thing to do, and from that comes chaos energy," Lily explained.
"So whatever is in there is a being that has learned all the elements and has merged them into one?" Silva asked.
Suddenly, a figure blasted out of the ground and flew into the air, shining brightly in a red light and exuding Mana that Silva had never seen before.
Even Lily was a little bit less when it came to Mana.
"That being possesses more Mana than me," Lily pointed out immediately.
Silva tried to use dragon eyes on her, but he was hit with a backlash that caused a splitting pain to hit his head.
"Arghh!" Silva cried in pain as he held his head.
"Whatever happened?" Lily asked.
"I tried to check her stats, but she was too strong. It backlashed," Silva said.
The glowing chaos around the figure died down and revealed a beauty that rivaled the goddesses. Her waist-length red hair complemented her eyes.
She donned beautiful armor with gold and white. She was like the goddess of war and beauty all in one.
But her looks were not deceiving anyone, because as she looked at Silva and his group, a rushing bloodlust hit them.
Silva could tell that she wanted to fight them, and this was not going to be an easy fight at all.
"Zack, Lily, give it your all. Let's take her down," Silva said and transformed into his dragon Newt form with full wings.
His power surged, but he didn't stop there. Even with his clawed hands, he still wielded his axe and buffed his power more.
The woman in the sky saw that Silva and his group wanted to fight her as well, so she made the first attack.
She shot down like a rocket, making a sword appear and covering it with a ridiculous amount of chaos energy.
She went for Silva, who was at the center, but before she could get close, a barrier from Lily blocked her sword.
"Zack, go now!" Lily said. Zack charged, leaped into the air, and slashed with his axe. The woman quickly countered with her sword and blocked Zack's attack.
Zack refused to back down easily. He channeled his Mana through his axe, and it glowed red. The woman didn't know what he was doing, but she knew she had to stop it. Her chaos exploded and sent Zack flying.
Zack had done his piece to distract the woman. Silva had made his way into the sky and was coming from above at a crazy speed.
She noticed him a bit late, and his attack was in motion. With his buff from his dragon form and his axe, his attack carried a strength close to seventy thousand or more.
He swung the axe at her, and she covered herself in a thick layer of chaos. The axe collided, and an explosion happened, sending Silva flying and the woman to the ground, but she was unhurt.
She got back up immediately and began smiling. She looked at them and finally spoke.
"You are the ones that woke me up? You may be strong, but you have no power against chaos," she said in a cocky tone.
Silva, who was flying in the air, heard that, and his pride was hit. He knew he could defeat this woman; he had just wanted to see her strength, yet she claimed he was weak.
"Zack, Lily, stand back," Silva said and dropped to the ground.
He began walking toward the woman in steady steps, and with every step, he brought out one clone, and then the clones transformed into dragon forms.
She saw this and scoffed.
"Do you believe ten clones can stop me?" she asked.
When Silva heard that, he was then hit with a thought. His clones were overpowered replicas of him, and they had all his abilities and skills.
Though he was the one supplying Mana to them, he had enough Mana. So he had an idea. What if his clones made overpowered clones of themselves?
The only drawback of that would be that all the Mana would come from him. But his Mana was growing at an astonishing rate, and he would only use this idea when he seriously needed it.
So Silva gave it a try and passed the instruction to all the clones, and they all made clones of themselves, making an army of a hundred who were ten times stronger than the original clones.
But the Mana consumption was crazy. Silva could feel the Mana flowing out of his body like crazy. This skill was not something he could use whenever he wanted.
But for now, he was going to burn through all his Mana because all the clones also transformed into the dragon Newt form, and that on its own ate a lot of Mana.
At this point, not even Drake could hope to stand against Silva. This was a hundred-man army of Silva, and some had stats ten times the original, and most had stats ten times the clones.
When the woman saw this, she froze because she could feel the strength from a hundred of them. She was already internally shaken when she saw the first ten that he made, and she was bluffing when she spoke.
She didn't expect that Silva would actually summon more clones that were even more powerful.
"It's not possible to have such a skill; it must be a bluff!" she yelled and started dashing for Silva. She fired a massive beam at a group of the clones, but they all used their swords to counter it easily.
She was shocked when she saw that, but the other clones had already circled her and were moving in for an attack.
She became unsure of what to do. She tried to fight, but one clone parried her sword, and three more placed their swords near her neck.
Another three went for her lower body with their swords around it. She froze in place at this point.
There was no way out. She had lost.
"I give up. Please call back your clones," she quickly said. source-at-MVLeMpYr
Silva was shocked that she gave up so easily, but he was happy because he had used more than ninety percent of his Mana already.
He unsummoned his main clones, and that caused all the clones to disappear.
He bent over and huffed and puffed. He couldn't hide that he was very much spent.
Lily and Zack, on the other hand, were shocked. They didn't expect that Silva was actually this powerful. They knew he had potential and was going to be great, but it seems they underestimated things. He was already crazy strong.
The woman walked to Silva, but all her bloodlust and killing intent had gone away.
She looked at Silva and spoke, "My name is Aris, a chaos spirit. Form a pact with me."
