SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC116: From Beyond
Selax, Fang, and Gallan charged into battle. They were teleported by Elsa to the battlefield. They had to handle the beasts that were headed for the town.
But they weren't alone. A host of over a hundred labyrinth monsters of all sorts followed behind them, charging into battle.
Elsa wasn't there with them because she and Jade had to create a deception barrier that made sure no one on the outside could see what was happening.
Jade carried Elsa on her back as they slithered around the battlefield, while Elsa dropped the nodes needed.
The nodes looked like her scales with shiny red tips.
When she planted all the nodes, she stopped, made a hand sign, and all the red tips activated, creating a very large veil that made it look like nothing was happening inside the veil.
---
Meanwhile, the battle in the veil had commenced with both sides clashing. Even with a lesser number, Selax was able to command her army, unlike the chaotic beasts.
"Fang, Gallan, you two are free to fight however you want," Selax said.
Immediately, Fang's fur exploded with lightning. He dashed like a bolt and broke into the enemy line.
His body was like an overcharged fury ball, moving so fast that one could not follow him with their eyes.

Some beasts encircled him and tried to attack. Fang roared, and a mighty bolt struck from the sky and decimated them.
The beasts were immediately terrified of him, and they retreated from him. Gallan walked up to him with a laugh.
"You scared them away, but now it's my turn to get busy," Gallan said and took out his daggers. These ones had been made by Zack the Minotaur, an excellent blacksmith who decided to gift Gallan since they got along well.
He used his Mana technique to make the blade even sharper and then charged at full speed. He leaped into the air and came down with a spinning slash.
He easily decapitated several beasts. He landed on the ground and started to massacre. His blade movements were fierce and precise; he wasted no excessive energy.
In the span of minutes, the beast wave had been cut down to more than half, with Fang and Gallan contributing a massive chunk.
The beasts started trying to run away, but Selax ordered her army to give chase and cut them all down.
Her army had also suffered losses; about ten had died, but it was still a domination compared to what the beasts had lost.
"That went easier than expected," Gallan said.
"I alone could have handled it, but the master loves to be careful. It's like he doesn't understand the force he commands," Selax said.
They watched as the labyrinth beasts killed all the remaining beasts. They all regrouped after the slaughter, and Elsa made her way to the center with Jade.
She deactivated the veil and then cast a massive teleportation circle that teleported all of them back to the labyrinth at once.

"My name is Aris, a chaos spirit. Form a pact with me."
"Huh? A pact? What brought that up? Weren't we just fighting right now? How did it go from that to forming a pact?" Silva asked.
"You defeated me, basically, meaning you are stronger. What's bad in wanting to form a pact with a strong person?
Also, you are astonishingly good-looking, and you have a strong body for such an age. Who wouldn't want to have you?
If you had lost this battle, I would have turned you into mine. I'd shower you with care and everything."
"No, no, no, no, cut, cut, that's too much." Silva stopped her. What the heck was she saying? They just met, and she was talking about intimate things.
"Are we shy now? Don't worry, you'll get used to me," she said and ran her finger on Silva's cheek.
Lily held her hand and pushed it back.
"That's enough touching. He is still a child by current standards, so tame your lustful eyes away from him," Lily said.
"Ohhh? Could it be that you want him too?" Aris asked.
"Don't ask dumb questions. I only stopped you because he is my master. I can't have a chaos spirit touching him however she wants," Lily said.
"Alright, that's enough. Aris, tell me about this pact and what it entails," Silva asked.
"Well, it's like a contract we sign, binding us together. I'll help you with all you need and listen to you.
The pact may look equal, but the stronger side is normally the boss, which is you in this case. I know you want to ask why I want to do this, but don't worry about it.
I have personal reasons for wanting to form a pact with you. The fight with you also played a role in making me decide this," Aris explained.
Silva thought about it for a while and decided to go with it. He couldn't see any real risk, so he decided to try and take the risk, whatever they may be.
"Then how do we do it?" Silva asked.
"A drop of your blood and a drop of mine need to touch first, and then both parties must agree."
Silva took out a knife and slashed his palm. She did the same with her sword, and they shook hands. Their hands glowed, and a pattern of a drop of blood appeared on the back of their hands and faded away.
That meant the pact was successful, and to complete it, a notification came up.
[You have formed a pact with a chaos spirit, Aris]
[You have gained a new dragon skill]
[You are on the right path]
[A powerful ancient being from beyond has seen you and your actions. Your latest action was the nail in the coffin]
[The being has decided that you are dangerous]
[He will start coming to stop you.]
[Survive]
[Message from the goddess Ophelia]
[I'm sorry, Silva, but the being that is coming for you is something else. I can't help or give you details. Order refuses, please survive.
It might take a while for him to arrive, but he may send minions ahead of him.]

A being that even the goddess and the system recognized as powerful, this was a large issue, a very large one.
But Silva knew that immediately worrying and jumping about would not change anything, he simply had to get stronger.
He didn't know how long it would take to face this being, for all he knew it could be the next day, or it could take ten years.
Either way, he could only give his best when the time came. What was on his mind now was the fact that he had gained a new dragon skill, he quickly checked it to see what it was.
[Astral Dragon Form: A semi-invisible dragon form that you can control and use to battle, all stats will be increased tenfold when activated.]
[The drawback of this skill is extreme strain on the body.]
This skill was awesome, if it increased his strength by ten times, his buff would then help him get to a hundred times. The only skill that could match up to it is the Joker of the Abyss.
Even though it had a drawback, and the effect of the drawback was buffed as well, it didn't matter, because the gains far outweighed the cons.
"I want to talk to you about a lot of things, Aris, so will you come to my labyrinth to talk?" Silva said.
"Well, I'm not going to leave now, you are officially stuck with me," she said with a smile.
Lily gave her a cold stare and then activated the teleportation to the labyrinth. They vanished and left all the destruction of their fight there.
Even the beast corpses outside the forest were left there, all of them.
---
A few minutes after Silva and everyone had left, a group of horses with armored people on them came to the site of Silva's fight.
There were about twenty horses, and about five of the riders were female, each of them wearing black armor with the crest of the king on it.
The one leading them came down from his horse, he walked a bit and looked at where the fight seemed to have taken place.
The crater that Zack left, as well as the small damage caused by the fight.
"Captain, what happened?" a woman asked.
"There seems to have been some sort of fight here, it didn't last long though. I'm seeing the prints of hundreds of people, but I can only sense that there were no more than four people here," he said and returned to his horse.
"Could it be that one had a cloning spell of some sort?" she asked.
"Probably. We should head to the other side, that's where Sharon sensed the beasts. Let's find out what happened to the beast wave," he said and got on his horse.
They rode through the forest, and when they made it out, they were shocked to see the corpses of beasts littered everywhere.
They all looked in shock, not knowing what to think at this point.
"That's a pretty intense scene, right?" a voice said from behind them.
They all turned around quickly while pulling their swords and getting defensive.
And then they saw, seated on a tree, the most fancy-looking clown there could be.
The clown held a deck of cards and was shuffling it rapidly at an incredible pace, but only his fingers moved.
The captain pointed his blade at the clown and spoke.
"Who are you?"
"Well, it's common courtesy to tell others your name before asking," the clown said.
"I am Rogers, the captain of the Venom team of the Black Knights," the man said.
"Oh, I think I've heard of the Black Knights, one of the most elite chapters of the kingdom's knighthood.
Well, you can call me the Joker of the Abyss," the Joker said with a smile.
"What are you doing here, Joker? Speak now or we will have no choice but to take you down," the captain said.
The Joker started swinging his legs after hearing that, and then suddenly he dropped from the tree and landed on the ground.
The group immediately came down from their horses, marched forward, and took a defensive stance.
"Stop where you are, and tell us what you are doing here," the captain said.
story-source-NovelBin
"Well, you see, I was walking through here, and then suddenly all these beasts jumped out and attacked me.
So I decided to take care of them, but I got too tired after that and decided to rest, and then you guys showed up."
"You killed all of them by yourself?" Rogers asked in shock. "If that's true, then we will have to take you down. A stranger capable of taking down a host of beasts by whatever means is crazy.
We will have to investigate you and be certain of who you are first. Venom, into formation one." Rogers gave an order, but before they could carry it out, the Joker drew a card and looked at it.
He smiled after looking at it and spoke.
"To think my luck would be so good." He flung the card into the air, and the card exploded into a massive purple magical circle.
It expanded over the whole field and then, the dead beasts started rising into zombies one by one.
The Black Knights looked at this in shock and some in fear.
"Captain, I'll be seeing you more often, so don't die here. Your squad should be able to handle this without trouble." The Joker said, then he pulled out a card and used it to vanish.
"That motherfucker!" the captain roared, but now was not the time for him to lose his head, he had to fight.
---
Back in the labyrinth, Silva was about to get into his discussion with Aris at a dining table in the massive dining hall.
He felt his clone return to him, meaning it had done the job.
When he was about to leave that place the first time, he sensed people coming, knights to be exact, so he sent his clone to handle it.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC118: cloaked man
Silva and Aris talked to themselves for a while, and Silva got to know her better.
She was over hundreds of years old, but she engaged in battle with a hero once upon a time, and that severely injured her.
So, she went into hiding for many years and only woke up recently.
Silva was shocked when she explained the fight to him because the hero she fought was one of the weakest, according to her.
Yet that hero had easily injured her, and Aris was unable to put up a fight. All she could do was run.
This gave Silva a small gauge of the strength of the heroes. He had to get stronger because he was certain that a clash was inevitable.
After getting to know Aris, he left her to Elsa and the guardians. Aris had taken a liking to Elsa and started treating her like a younger sister.
And, of course, Elsa loved it. Silva had come to understand that Elsa just loved attention.
Silva left the labyrinth after that. It was getting dark, and he had made a promise to Roxy. He quickly got to his house and cleaned up.
He left his room to see Lia standing outside his door. She looked at him, like she was scanning him, and then spoke.
"You are going for the date with Roxy?" she asked.
"Yes, I promised her," Silva said.
She looked at him and pouted, "Then promise me that when we are back at the academy, you'll take me out on a date as well," she said.
Silva didn't see an issue with that, so he agreed immediately.
She let him go. He left the house and headed for Roxy's house.
---
Silva and Roxy headed to a restaurant for dinner first, but as soon as Silva placed his hand on the door, he felt something strange behind him.
He turned around and saw a black portal; a seven-foot abomination was stepping out of it, about to attack Roxy.
Silva flash-stepped and took her out of the way, while sending a kick to the head of the abomination and killing it immediately.
He dropped her down carefully, his eyes still trained on the portal, but then Roxy started tapping him. When he looked at her, he saw her pointing.
So he looked and saw more than twenty portals opening all over.
Silva was not someone that could be frozen in shock because he had enough minds to quickly analyze things.
"Roxy, sorry, but our date will be called off. Head to Quin and tell him. Gather your party and fight." Silva said and charged in the direction of the abominations that were coming out of the portal.
He didn't even draw his sword. He leaped into the air and pointed his hands down, firing a thick stream of abyss flames.
The abominations screamed in pain as their physical bodies and souls were being torched.
Silva then took out his sword and started slashing, shooting out dark blade arcs, finishing off the abominations.
He landed on the ground, but he couldn't rest as more portals had started forming, and for some reason, the abominations had taken him as their main enemy, and most of them were headed for him.
Silva looked at the horde headed his way and realized something. Many of the abominations running towards him were once humans.
He could still see their features a little, and he could tell. It was rare to hear about human-based abominations unless they were created.
Someone had used these humans to make abominations. Not that it mattered to Silva, he would cut them all down the same.
When the largest abomination got to him, it swung its hand. Silva blocked the attack with his sword, but he had to leap back as another abomination tried to get him while he was focused on the first one.
He pushed off the ground as soon as he landed, getting as high as the one that had just attacked him, then he slashed out a dark blade arc and decapitated it.
Immediately he landed back again, he was surrounded by more abominations. He thought about ending this fast.
But then the thought of trying out his swordplay and martial arts filled his head.
An abomination attacked fiercely, and Silva parried the attack, but still allowed himself to turn quickly.
brought-to-you-by-NovelBin
He turned very fast and his sword cut through the stomach of the abomination. He grabbed hold of the body immediately and chucked it at some abominations.
Silva moved faster, dodging attacks and cutting down abominations, regardless of what race they were before.
But such a waste of time was too much, because the town had now entered an uproar and was fighting against the abominations.
He looked over towards his house's direction, and he could see smoke. Something was up, and he needed to find out.
He decided to charge through the abominations and kill all of them. His movements became way faster, and he started one-hit killing them all.
"I have to be faster," Silva said.
He ran as fast as he could, but the constant fights on the way there slowed him down more.
"This is definitely the plan of someone, so many abominations. What am I even saying, of course someone is the cause of this, the abominations are appearing through portals.
And they can't build or create anything, so someone is definitely behind it." Silva set his mind straight and ran fast through a dark alley to get there faster.
But then, in the alley, the cloaked man appeared. He was that person from the Dark Blade.
He was the man that knew how to turn people into abominations. It all made sense for this man to be the one causing this.
Silva should have known that this man would certainly be back.
The cloaked man faced Silva but refused to show his face, as expected.
"We meet again, Silva Teron, the prodigy of the Duke that got missing," the cloaked man said.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC119: The cloaked man
Silva didn't even allow him to talk more.
"You said you would never come to this town again, why are you here?" Silva asked.
"Oh, that was before I found out how special you are. Now, I want you. So what will it be? Come with me and I'll spare the town, or stay and fight me, and the town gets destroyed," the cloaked man said.
"Haha, hahaha, hahahahah." Silva started cackling like a madman. The cloaked man was confused as to what was happening.
"DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO GIVE ME OPTIONS?" Silva roared in rage, his mana and aura exploding from his body like a typhoon.
The windows and doors of the houses within a hundred-meter radius took damage.
When the cloaked man saw this, he understood that he had made a very large mistake; he had grossly underestimated how strong Silva was.
But this cloaked man was a scientist, a mad one, seeking the creation of new life and the best life. That was why he worked on abominations, trying to perfect them.
So right now, more than anything, he wanted to test, to find out how strong this boy was.
"Hahaha, are you angry? There is nothing you can d---"
Boom.
Before he could finish that statement, Silva's fist connected to his face and sent him rocketing into a wall, breaking through it completely.
story-source-NovelBin
Silva charged at the hole, but his vibration senses picked up something shooting out of the hole. He sidestepped and dodged.
A black tentacle-like limb shot past as soon as he dodged. He immediately grabbed hold of the arm, pulled it with full force, and drew the cloaked man out.
The man flew into the air and rolled on the ground, his hoodie falling off his head, revealing his face.
He was a middle-aged man with deep dark circles and hair that had all gone gray for some reason.
His skin was extremely pale, as pale as that of Drake. One of his limbs was transformed into a black tentacle-like limb.
He got up and faced Silva with a mad smile on his face, then lashed out with the limb. It crackled through the air as it headed for Silva.
Silva dodged easily, but the limb whip-lashed and came back. Silva still dodged it and then charged at the man.
The man quickly reacted. He took out a black ball and crushed it. A purple smoke formed, turned into an arrow, and shot at Silva.
Silva immediately covered himself in abyssal flames. The arrow hit, but the flames canceled it out.
He rushed at the man, grabbed him by the neck, and then slammed him into the ground before chucking him out of the alley.
Silva summoned his clones, and they all used a skill to change their appearance, then went in all directions to help the town fight the abominations.
Silva then left the alley with slow, steady steps. He got to the man and spoke.
"We aren't done yet. So get up!" Silva stomped the ground and caused the ground to explode, throwing the man into the air.
He leaped into the air, spun, and then kicked the man to the ground.
The man was half-conscious, but he still tried to do something. He pulled out a needle and was about to inject himself.
But Silva grabbed his hand and twisted it, forcing the needle to fall out.
"Do you think I'll let you just transform into one of those things? I have uses for you, and I plan to work you to the bitter end," Silva said.
"Haha, to think it would end this way. I should have just run away, but my obsession with creating the perfect being has caused me this.
I was a simple child until my mom died at the hands of a sickness. That was when I realized that humanity was flawed."
"Hey, cut the stupid backstory, no one wants to listen to that crap. Your mom died, boohoo, cry me a fucking river.
Do you know how many people have lost their parents to worse tragedies? If they thought like you, would they be any good person?
If you want to kill and experiment, for fuck's sake do it for yourself and by yourself. Don't use your poor mother as an excuse.
Think I'd sob with you and say you did your best? You don't get a participation award, bro," Silva scolded the man.
The man couldn't say anything after that. He just looked at Silva, in his mind thinking, what sort of human was this?
Silva squatted beside the man and continued speaking.
"I want to take down the Black Blades. You guys have pissed me off. I could simply brute-force my way and destroy all of you, but that would cause too much of a ruckus.
So I need to get into the system first. After that, I'll snatch all of you up quietly and kill you all. Now, you alone can save yourself because I'll be using you, whether you like it or not," Silva said.
He placed his hand on the man's head and forced a dark contract on him, like he did with those A-ranked adventurers.
---
It took a while for the town to be cleared up. After Silva captured the man, more portals stopped spawning, and the adventurers, with the aid of the clones, took care of things.
Sadly, there were still deaths, four in total: three men and a female adventurer. Their bodies were properly cleaned and kept. They would receive a funeral from the whole town that they fought to protect.
Because of all that had happened, Silva and Roxy could not go on that date. But Silva took her to the top of the viscount's roof, and they sat there watching the stars.
After some time, Roxy slid her fingers and intertwined them with Silva's.
"Silva, I know that you'll be going places, doing great things and lots more. And I can't keep up with all that; you are just too fast.
But I want you to promise me that no matter how far you go, that I'll have a place with you," she said in a calm voice. Silva could tell that she was serious.
"Roxy, there may come a time when the world will be against me, and those that stand with me will be at risk. If you still decide to stay with me even after hearing this, then for sure you'll always remain special to me."

[Sorry for putting this up here, but hey, if you can, please drop a review]
Silva, Lia, and Mike could not stay for the burial of the four who had died, he couldn't even brief the Viscount about what happened, he was only able to tell it to Quin and let Quin handle the issue.
They got into their carriage and left town. Silva looked through the windows, observing Roxy's sad face as he left. He took a deep breath and put that to the back of his mind.
The carriage soon entered the forest. They would be arriving early the next day before classes start, as long as there was nothing to hold them back or waste their time.
"Yesterday, when the abominations suddenly attacked the town, I didn't see you," Mike said.
"I was searching for the person that caused the abominations to appear. I did find him, but he put up some crazy resistance, so I had to kill him. Obliterated him," Silva said.
"I see, it's good to know that you were there to help. Also, was that what you were telling Quin?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, I needed to brief the viscount, but I had to leave, so I left it up to Quin," Silva explained.
After their small chit-chat, they stayed quiet for most of the journey, only talking from time to time.
________ ________
Silva and Lia finally arrived at the academy. They had dropped Mike off a while ago before coming to the academy. They got out of the carriage and headed inside. It was still a bit early, so they had enough time to get ready.
"I'll see you in a bit," Lia said before heading for her dorm. Silva did the same as well. He got to his room, but Aaron was already out. He quickly took his bath, wore his uniform, and headed for the classes.
He arrived a bit late, even later than Lia, which shocked him. He took a seat at the back quietly.
Miss Elizabeth was up there already, but she was yet to start. After Silva walked in, she began the class. Because of their small number, she could tell when a student was not around. She was also informed as his homeroom teacher that he would be going home for the weekend, so she understood his lateness.
"Alright everyone, before I go on to teach, I'd like to make an announcement that I was asked to. Every year, the royal family hosts the Elite competitions. I'm sure all the nobles have heard of this.
But for those that haven't heard about it, it is a competition that spans first years to fourth years from all academies in the kingdom. The winners of these competitions are given the tag of Elite.
There exist other rewards to it, but those will be decided by the royal family. Blacklight Academy has two Elites in the fourth year; they are both part of the student council. But we haven't won anymore after that.
Hopefully, this year there will be some change," she said and glanced at Silva.
'So this is what that director wants, she wants to use me. Not a bad idea, but I'll have to really think about the benefits of the competition. I'll need more information for this,' Silva thought. -chapter
"So, our academy was given ten slots for every class, from the first year up to the fourth year. That means we can only take a total of forty students from the academy.
The director and the board, with help from the council, have decided that the best way to get those forty would be to have a small-scale competition in the school to choose them as well.
So, the date will be informed to you, and maybe some details about it. You all should keep yourselves in the best state for when the competition starts."
After that, she taught on basic magical concepts. Though most of the students didn't have their minds on the lesson because of the announcement she had made.
Another thing on their minds was the fact that Silva was having a duel today, a five versus one match. When most of the students got this information, they felt that Silva was prideful and needed to be put down.
Others believed that he could pull it off. They had witnessed his fights, and they felt like he hadn't even put his all into it yet.
With the time getting closer, things like bets were being placed.
When it was time, the five second years were already in the arena, but Silva was fashionably late. He walked into the arena like he didn't care. The arena was packed, from first years to third years, even some fourth years.
The reason for the third years being there was because they wanted to see the downfall of the dude that disgraced them.
"It's wise if you give up now. I don't know what made you choose to duel us, but we will not take it easy on you just because you are alone," the boy spoke, but Silva started picking his ear with his pinky finger like he hadn't heard anything the boy had said.
The boy fumed with rage; whatever it took, they had to take Silva down.
"Get into formation," the boy said, and he took out his sword. There were three sword users in their team and two mages with staves. They took a V-shaped formation. The boy was at the front, with the mages next on either side, and lastly, the two sword users behind.
"You guys even made a formation to fight me? Sadly, I have to play with you. I want to show everyone who I am," Silva said.
"System, are there any spells similar to what that man I fought in the alley used?" Silva asked the system. It had been quite a while since he bought spells.
[Dark tendrils, 20,000 SP]
"Purchase it."
[Purchased]
"You five can come at me anytime," Silva said.
The boy frowned and gave the order. "Move forward!"
"Dark tendrils," Silva said in a calm voice. Black liquid-like tendrils shot out of the ground.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC121: Five versus one part 2
The boys were taken by surprise by the tendrils. They had come to know Silva as a sword fighter, and although they knew he had magic, they were not expecting him to start with such a spell. Before they could react, the tendrils latched onto them, throwing all of them at the walls. They slammed into the walls with so much force that they cracked.
"Sigh, fighting you all with even ten percent will kill you too easily. I want to feel some thrill from this fight, so I'll take it easy, just to have fun," Silva said to them.
"Don't insult us!" The leader got up and charged at Silva with his sword. The sword began releasing a cold energy; it seemed his element was ice. He got close to Silva and slashed for the head, but Silva took one step back and dodged the attack.
The blade passed by one inch, and Silva stepped in and headbutted the boy. The boy's head swung back with full force, and Silva followed with a punch that lifted the boy into the air. He then used his dark tendril to grab the boy, pulled him down, and spun, sending a kick to the boy's face.
The boy coughed out a huge amount of blood as his body shot through the air, rolling on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
The other four saw what happened to their leader. Three of them charged at Silva, while one went to heal the boy. The mage who was charging at Silva shot a fireball, which suddenly exploded when it neared Silva, blocking his view.
The two swordsmen flanked from each side, hidden by the flame. One went for the head, the other for the stomach. Silva smirked. He found their tactic nice, but it was far from enough. He dodged the one aimed at his neck by bending backward.
He shifted to the side as he bent, allowing him to dodge the strike to his abdomen. Using his superior physique, he recovered from the bend immediately after the swords missed him. find more stories on mv|lempyr
He stood up straight and grabbed both their hands, pulling them close to each other and smashing their faces together. The mage tried to attack quickly, but Silva threw both of his teammates at him. They collided with the mage just as the fireball formed, causing an explosion that sent them flying with burn wounds.
At this point, everyone watching knew Silva was going to win. They had underestimated him, and those who bet against him were weeping over how many points they would lose.
But what worried them more was the pain those five boys would endure. Silva had yet to go serious on them, yet he was dominating.
The leader had received a healing potion from his friend, so he was able to stand again. He pointed his sword at Silva with conviction.
Silva watched him and sighed, then took out his own sword. "I'll honor you and fight you with a sword as well. But I'll warn you now, the blade of my sword leaks a very potent poison, so if you get cut, the pain you'll feel will be overwhelming." Silva said.
The boy said nothing in response. He simply charged at Silva, going for a stab. Ice formed on his sword, quickly increasing the length to hit Silva, but Silva leaped back just enough to dodge the strike.
Silva then went in for a slash, shattering the ice on the sword and returning it to normal. He ran at the boy full speed, reaching him in a second before the boy could even react.
When the boy finally reacted, he tried to block, but he was too late as Silva stabbed his arm. The poison spread faster than the boy had expected, and he was suddenly hit with a dreadful amount of pain. He fell to his knees, screaming in agony.
The last mage saw this and wanted to help his leader, but Silva was standing right there. He had to do something.
"Earth Golem!" he called out and stabbed his staff into the ground. An earth golem started forming, but Silva didn't let it. He charged at it and slashed through the golem before it fully formed, then sent a kick into the mage's chest, shattering some ribs.
The mage went flying, landing roughly. The whole fight was in Silva's favor at this point, but he had yet to knock anyone out. All five of them were still conscious, but in heavy pain. The fight would not end until someone was knocked out.
Silva knew this, as he was the one who set that rule. He used the dark tendrils to pick all of them up by their necks, choking them until they passed out. Then he dropped them and walked out of the arena.
After Silva left, the arena was quiet for a while. Even when medical practitioners came to take the boys, the audience remained silent. Finally, those who supported Silva burst into cheers, the majority of them being girls, which pissed the guys off more but what could they do?
Silva had just proven he was a terror. No one would want to pick a fight with him. He didn't even need the Duke's backing; his personal strength was enough to make him a feared entity in the academy.
The audience slowly left the arena, most of them discussing the duel.
Silva, on the other hand, was getting happy outside in one corner because a notification came after he finished the fight, and it was a crazy good one.
[You have completed a hidden mission: Establish Dominance]
[Rewards: one ticket to a Void Labyrinth x10
[Void Labyrinth: a special labyrinth that contains void beasts, offering massive rewards to those who enter, but with equal danger]
This was a labyrinth he could use to get stronger, and his buff allowed him to have ten tickets instead of one, he would reap greater rewards everytime he would go because he would have knowlegde from the last entry

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC122: Oliver and the president
After the duel, most things had returned to how they used to be, but the memory lingered in their minds for days.
It was not something that would be easily forgotten. But regardless of all that, Silva had better things to do. Aside from classes, he was to meet Dawn and see the mercenary group.
He also had the void tickets, the school labyrinth, and a few other things. He even waited through every class so that he could head to his room and get into the void labyrinth.
Silva had noticed one thing, though: his brother, Oliver, was not in class all through today. He didn't know why that was, but he had a bad feeling.
---
Inside the council lounge, Oliver stood before the president, the number one seat of the council.
"Oliver Terron, the son of the Duke, the first son to be precise.
I know you are wondering as to why I called you here; it's weird for the council president to suddenly ask for a first-year in private.
But I feel there is an issue that both of us can align with. And that issue is Silva Terron, the one who walked into your life and caused things to go from worse to worst.
I understand that your position as the heir to the Terron name was already in doubt because of your sister and her crazy talent.
But even then, you could survive; you could still hope that all would be okay, and you just had to work hard to prove that you are the right one for the name.
You dedicated your life and all your strength to become the one that would be the heir, and when you were catching up, Silva shows up in the picture.
And I understand your pain and how you feel because he is not only disrupting your life, he is also disrupting this academy.
I understand that he is a special case, one that the director favors, but I am the council president, I am the number one student here, and my words are to be gold to the students.
I refuse to allow Silva, no matter how important he is, to take a position I toiled for. And I know you feel the same way about it as well.
He doesn't deserve to come and take what is yours. Where has he been all those years, yet he wants to come and take control?
The issue is that the director has asked the great council not to move against him. My hands are tied, and I can't stop him, so that is why I need your help, your help to stop him." The president said.
"What can I do? Silva is strong, there is no way I can stand against him. I did it twice and lost twice, and he wasn't even taking me seriously.
No matter how much I want him gone, I don't have the strength to do that." Oliver said.
"Hmm, let me tell you a bit about Silva and his brother. I looked into him and got to know the person Mike. Silva came into their lives and took away Mike's sister.
The attention and love she was to give Mike were shifted to Silva.
Mike strived to fix this, toiling away with all that he had, trying to get his sister back to himself. But the imposter Silva didn't let him.
This drove Mike to the brink, and word was that he almost turned into an abomination. Then Silva went ahead and saved him.
After saving him, Mike now sees Silva as a benefactor and no longer strives for his first goal.
Now, this may look like a normal cheesy family story of forgiveness and such. But I can tell you that it was a plot from Silva.
He knew that if he pushed Mike, his biggest enemy at the time, to the brink of death, and then saved him, Mike would come to see him as a gracious hero, who despite being his enemy, decided to save him.
And with that plan, he took total control of that family. Mike was the last line of defense, and Silva tore it down.
.
He will do the same to you." The president said and leaned back, using his hands to hold his head up a bit.
"How do you mean, what will he do?" Oliver asked.
"Oh, that is simple. You will hate him, and hate him, and hate him. And that will cause you to lose focus on being the heir, and your sister will ascend.
You will become miserable and want to go rogue or kill yourself, or even kill Silva. But then he will come with a solution for you, an unexpected yet extremely tasty solution.
He may come and say something like, 'She is your sister, if you asked, she would give you the position.'
And she will, because she and Silva would have made the plot together as a team, and she will let you become the heir, but not without signing several contracts.
And you will sign, because you are at your lowest, and they have offered you redemption at the price of some little conditions.
That's what you will think, little conditions, though they aren't little at all, but you will be unable to see them.
And after you sign your soul away, you become the Duke in name, but you will never really have real control. You will be their puppet, and they will control you.
At this point, Silva has won. He has manipulated you into becoming his puppet and shield. Whatever shit happens will be put on you, and you will be their scapegoat.
This is the reality that may befall you if Silva's plans fall into place for you." The president finished.
Oliver was petrified and shocked. He was scared of what the president had said because all these were his worst nightmares.
He had to make up his mind now and do exactly what the president said. That may be his only way out of such a dark future.

"So what do I do now?" Oliver said.
"The competition, the one that will be used to decide who will go for the Elite competition, is coming up in a few days, and you have to use that. One of the competitions will be to scale through a particular labyrinth, not too far from here. I have a map of that labyrinth, and there is an inescapable room marked on it. What you need to do is decide on a method to trap Silva inside.
.
The room can only be opened from the outside, so all you have to do is get him locked inside and leave him there. He will either slowly die or stay there for all eternity. Do you understand? You will reclaim all that you have lost if you do that.
I don't know how you will do it, but that is up to you. I'll provide the resources and opportunity to do it.
If you understand, then we can move on," the president said.
"I understand, president. I just have a few questions. You said that Silva is favored by the director. What did you mean by that?" Oliver asked.
"That is beyond what you need to know, Oliver. Just do what you need to do without questions, and you will be able to get what was yours back into your hands.
Remember, you must be ready. You can only do this once. If you fail, it's all over for you. He will catch on to the scheme, and at that point, he will try to get rid of you since you have become a threat.
He will do what you plan to do to him. He will kill you in the labyrinth and leave you there to die, so be careful.
Your brother Silva is smart, and his plots run deep. If there is one shaky part, he may try to get rid of it, and that's why you need to take him out once," the president explained.
"President, how do you know so much about my brother?" Oliver asked.
"Because he and I are similar in a way—always trying to be a few steps ahead of people. That is the reason I see him as a threat.
But he has yet to understand the world like me, and so he is not fully mature. That's why I'll be able to take him down before he becomes too strong," the president explained.
---
Silva's parents from Ribest, as well as Quinn, finally came to Blacklight to see the Duke. It had been days since Silva had visited them, and today was the day they came.
For those reasons, Silva asked permission to leave the academy and take his parents, as well as his siblings, to see the Duke.
Jade and Oliver had also gone home from the academy to host Silva's parents when they arrived. Their mom had spoken to the director on their behalf.
Silva and Lia were about to leave the academy after telling their friends where they would be and why they were going there right now.
Their parents were currently at Mike's house, waiting for Silva and Lia.
As Silva and Lia headed for the gates of the academy, Silva saw someone he hadn't seen since he came to the academy. It was Fay's brother, Ray, who was a third-year now. When he saw Silva, he was a bit surprised, but then he came to meet Silva.
"Silva, it's nice to see you," Ray greeted.
"Same. I haven't seen you at all," Silva said.
"Well, the S class of the third years has had to do a lot of things, and I have to top them to remain in the S class. But I have seen you and heard about you. You are basically the hottest topic in the academy. The whole third and second years hate you, mostly the guys, but all the same," he informed Silva.
"You don't hate me now, do you?" Silva asked.
"Not possible. You are a friend. I won't start hating you because you beat some of my classmates. But in all honesty, you are something else, defeating third-years like it was nothing.
You guys seem to be headed somewhere, so I won't delay you further. But I'll leave some info with you. You should watch your back very well and be wary of everyone.
Not only the third and second years have issues with you. I am certain that by now even the council will have their eye on you," Ray said. He bid them farewell and then left.
Silva didn't think much about anything Ray said. He would handle the issues no matter how they came.
But Lia was a bit worried about it, so she asked, "Will you be okay?"
"Are you worried about what he said? You don't have to worry. Even if they ganged up on me, they would still all lose in the end," Silva assured her and continued walking.
They finally got to the house and met with his parents and Quinn. Since all of them had arrived, they got into the carriage that had been waiting and headed for the Duke's mansion.
When they arrived, the guards tried to stop them, but when they saw Silva inside, they immediately opened the gates and let them through.
"Seems you are quite important, haha," Mike said.
"Well, he is the son of a Duke," Quinn followed up.
"He is still my baby boy regardless," Silva's mom said and hugged him tightly.
The carriage pulled up, and the same butler they had met that day, as well as some maids, were already waiting for them.
As soon as they stepped out, the maids and the butler bowed.
"Welcome, young master," they all greeted.
"That's enough, you guys should raise your heads," Silva said.
"The master and family are waiting for all of you. Allow me to lead you to them," the butler said before leading the way to the dining room.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC124: Discussions
When they arrived at the dining hall, Terron, as well as Silva's mum and siblings, were already seated.
As soon as they stepped into the hall, the air became tense. Silva's parents looked at the Duke and his wife, and their rage could be felt.
"It's an honor to meet the Duke and his family." Silva's father swallowed the rage and greeted with a bow.
"Please, raise your heads. You are the parents of the son of the Duke, even if not biological." The Duke said, emphasizing the 'not biological' part.
Silva noticed that and shot a look at his father, the Duke. The Duke felt the sudden killing intent, and his palms became sweaty.
He was unable to forget that fight with Silva. He, one of the greatest mages, was utterly defeated by his son, whom he had tried to kill.
Everyone took a seat, and then the food was served. Regardless of etiquette or any noble rules, they all began eating.
Then, finally, Silva started the conversation.
"I understand that currently, my parents are very angry with the Duke and my mother. So I will reveal a few things that I have hidden.
Mum, Dad, Quin, Lia, and Mike, I'll beg that you forgive me for hiding the information that I am about to reveal.
You all know that I possess a greater memory, mostly due to my Legacy. So I can remember everything that happened from the moment I was born.
Yes, I know all the details, and so today, I'll tell you in detail how I came to meet you, my family," Silva said, and the air grew chilly and tense.
His family never knew he had such an ability. They didn't expect that his ability to retain memories was so deep that he could remember that far back.
"When I first opened my eyes in this world, I was surrounded in what was my mother's room. Maids were helping her after she had just given birth.
Someone then left to call the Duke, my biological father, and he came rushing to see the child.
When he arrived, he was informed that his son lacked the natural talent he should have, and my father could not take it, so he ordered my death.
Yes, he ordered that I be killed to not sully his name, but my mum spoke. She knew there was no way I could stay there with her, so she took the risk of letting me go.
She asked her husband to let me live, but I would be taken away and given to another family. My father, nonchalant about the issue, allowed her to do as she wished.
And so, I was given the name Silva and handed to a maid to be taken far, far away and given to a family.
And that was when I was taken to meet you, and you became my family a day after I was born. Those are the details that led to my current family." Silva finished.
When he was done, all eyes at the table were pinned on Terron.
"You decided the worth of a child on the day he was born?" Leon asked, his anger slowly seeping through.
"And now you see that he has made something of himself, and you decide that it's the best time to walk back into his life and give him your name?" Leon asked in rage, slamming his hand into the table with force, not caring if he was in the presence of a Duke.
"Do you know how my wife and I dreaded the day that we would have to explain to him that he wasn't just abandoned at our door, but rather he was given to us?
They chose to give him away; they decided he wasn't what they wanted. Are you crazy?" Leon yelled.
A guard barged into the room when he heard the noise. He intended to quiet Leon, but the thick killing intent emanating from Silva, Lia, Mike, and Quin suffocated him. He fell to the ground, struggling to breathe.
Another guard came in and quickly pulled the first one out to save him before he passed out.
"I understand your anger, Mr. Leon, I really do," Terron tried to say.
"Don't act like you know anything," Sarah, Silva's mother, spoke. "Do you know the horror you put your wife through all those years, the pain of having the child she birthed snatched away?
All you were searching for was potential, and when the child with the greatest potential was right in front of you, you couldn't see."
Nobody said anything for a while after that. They had expected things to be a bit bad, but now it was worse, and the instigator, Silva, also behaved in a solemn way.
After a while, he got up. "Enough of the sad mood. All your hate toward this douchebag of a father that I have is naturally normal.
But the only reason I agreed to take his name is because there's a lot I want to do, and his status will make things easier for me and also give me a certain level of protection.
I simply want to use his name, so I chose to carry this name of his. Now I do hope that everyone gets along, especially you, Mum, and you, Mum." Silva pointed to both his mothers, causing their hearts to skip.
"As for Dad and Mr. Terron, I beg that you don't get into a fight and try to kill each other. As for the rest, do whatever." Silva said and left the table, waltzing out of the room.
Terron stood up before anyone else could leave, and then he spoke.

"I know I don't deserve Silva. In fact, if word got out of what I did, I would be punished heavily by the king. That was why this story of him being lost was made up.
I'm not asking for forgiveness, but I'm also pleading that all of you go along with the story as well."

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC125: Minion
ENovelBinerything calmed down, and Terron invited all of them to stay for the night. Both of Silva's mums hit it off great and began to chat with each other.
Silva took Quin out for a walk in the city. He still recalled Quin's rapid growth and the strange energy that was in Quin, and he wanted to know more about it.
As they walked, he used dragon's eye on Quin and looked at his stats.
Quin's level was now at thirty-five, which was already stupidly high for someone without a legacy.
Even Silva, with an SSS-ranked legacy, was at seventy.
Aside from that, he had stats in the 200s, and that was really crazy. He was basically a monster at this point.
But all that paled compared to the one piece of information that Silva saw.
[Quasi Legacy Awakened]
Silva didn't understand what that was, but he felt there was something about it that was probably the reason for the energy he felt.
Quasi meant that it was in an incomplete state, and this was the first time he had heard of an incomplete legacy.
So Silva decided that it was best to ask; he just had to ask.
"Quin, has there been anything out of the ordinary with you?" Silva asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Quin asked.
"I sensed an energy from you, a sensation similar to a legacy. Did you awaken a legacy?" Silva gave it to him straight.
"I guess nothing gets past you. Well, I had a dream one night.
There was a warrior clad in black and gold armor. The warrior stood in a void, and only his presence brought light into that darkness.
He stood with his mighty sword, his concentration unwavering, his eyes locked on the distant void.
And then, all of a sudden, rips and tears began to appear, and some dark-winged entities started flying out and attacking the warrior.
But with every slash, the warrior tore down hundreds of them. The light his sword exuded was like a purifying light that cleansed the void and rid it of the vermin that were those winged creatures.
But the battle dragged on. For how long, I don't know. Maybe years, maybe months. But it was beginning to wear him down.
When he was much weaker, a great rift tore through the void, and a great being came through. It was like a never-ending, snake-like flow of dark energy with red glowing eyes as big as the moon.
Compared to this being, the warrior was less than dust; he was an ant, incomparable. But he still decided to charge with what little energy he had.
And before they clashed, I suddenly woke up. When I woke up, I felt a warm feeling in my chest, and it caused strength to flow through my body.
And the more I train and attempt to cultivate this feeling, the stronger it gets.
I know this may all sound crazy, but that's what happened," Quin explained all the details.
'So Quin gained his own legacy? From the dream? That dream must definitely mean something, but for now, we can't know. But I'll look into it.'
"Don't sweat it, bro. I believe you," Silva said.
[The ancient being has sent a minion after you. Leave any populated area now. The fight will not be easy.]
Silva suddenly received information from the system about the minion. If the system was telling him to get somewhere clear, then he better do it before the city got destroyed.
"Quin, I'm sorry. I have to go. An emergency just came up," Silva said and turned around, running toward the city gates.
He activated flash steps and pushed his speed to the limit, making it out in less than a minute. He immediately headed into the forest at top speed.
When he was in the forest, he thought it would be best to talk to Elsa and tell her what was about to happen so that she could ready some backup. But as soon as he contacted her, something disrupted the communication.
The space around him started distorting and shifting. content hosted on m _vlempyr
[The minion has arrived.]
A portal opened, and a being walked out of it. It looked like it was made of black marble. It resembled some sort of angel, with two dark marble wings on its back.
Its head was covered in a marble helmet, and its blue eyes shone through it. It held a sword of the same material and wore armor of the same material.
When it came out and saw Silva looking at it, it stopped moving and became like a statue. Silva was confused. All his minds were confused. What was this being doing? Even the eyes of the being went dim.
He tried to use his dragon's eye to see what was going on, but it was like he was looking at a normal statue. It didn't have stats or anything, not even an energy flow.
All his minds found this weird. They decided that he should just attack and try to end this quickly. Silva took out his sword and charged at the statue.
But when he struck it, a massive force exploded and sent him flying through trees, smashing them to bits. He rolled and rolled for a good distance before finally coming to a stop.
He tried to get up, but then he noticed an energy close to him. It was almost too late—the sword of the minion came for his chest from below. He immediately transformed into his dragon newt form.
He survived the attack, but he was thrown so far that he brought down even more trees. This time, he paid more attention and looked up quickly to see the being almost on him.
But as soon as he looked at it, the being stopped and became a statue again. This pissed Silva off. He took out his axe and charged at the being again.
This time, he struck with even more force, and again, an even stronger force blasted him away and sent him flying through several trees.

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC126: Defeating the angel
SilNovelBina lay on the ground, trying to catch his breath, but then he sensed the angel again. He quickly got back up and flew into the air, dodging the sword at the last moment.
This angel was fast, and it covered so much distance in the blink of an eye.
Silva stared at the angel, and it froze again, but on his way down, he blinked, and the angel moved, reaching him in a second.
The angel swung for his head before his eyes opened; his head would be cleanly lopped off. All Silva could rely on was his senses. He snapped his head back with speed faster than any human.
The sword missed his neck, and then he opened his eyes, and the angel froze.
This time, Silva refused to blink. He immediately had a meeting of the minds, and they immediately came up with a theory.
This angel never moved when you looked at it; in fact, it turned into a non-living being. But when you looked away, it moved. So what would happen if Silva had clones looking at it while he closed his eyes? It would stop moving.
"Argh," a plan wasn't forming, even with eleven minds. Silva was confused.
If the statue was not moving, he could not attack it. The defense was impenetrable, but if he looked away, it would kill him.
After a small moment of thought, Silva had an idea that would possibly work. And that was to use vibration sensing with his eyes closed.
He activated the skill and then slowly closed his eyes. As soon as his eyes closed, his vibration sensing picked up the movement of the angel.
It vibrated out of the statue form in milliseconds and then charged at Silva. Silva took his axe and swung it at full force to counter the angel.
But as his axe hit the sword of the angel, they got into a short stalemate, but Silva could already tell who was winning, and it was not him.
Silva was thrown back, rolling through the forest until he stopped. He got back up quickly and blocked the next attack coming from above, which brought him down to his knees, creating a small crater underneath him.
Silva used the small time that he had to check the stats of the angel. Now that it was a living thing, it should be possible, and it was.
Name: ######
Level: #######
Strength: 200,000
Defense: 200,000
Speed: 200,000
Agility: 200,000
Intelligence: 200,000
'What in the world are these stats?' Silva asked himself. If these were the stats of this minion, then it was evident that it was holding back. He had to do something before the minion got serious.
Silva immediately summoned his clones in that state. All of them closed their eyes and used vibration. They all transformed and attacked the angel.
The angel recognized the new threats and turned its attention away from Silva to the clones. All the clones tried to jump him at the same time.
But then, the angel stabbed its sword into the ground, and some snap of energy exploded out, and all of them were caught inside.
They all suddenly slowed down, slowing down to one-tenth of their original speed. This was the ability of the angel.
Now that they were all slow, it started walking to each one of them to attack.
Silva, who was still kneeling, had to make a quick choice. This was the first time that he had faced a foe that put him in such a situation.
He had never faced someone who dominated him this much. But he was far from over; he still had a lot of things to use and win.
While the angel walked to the first clone and stabbed him through the chest, Silva started transforming into the joker of the abyss.
He let the clones work as bait to buy him time while he transformed, because right now he was also in slow motion, and the transformation was slow.
By the time the transformation was complete, five clones had already been killed.
Silva slowly took a card off the deck and flipped it, and it was exactly what was needed, as expected.
A time speed-up card. He activated the card, and his body sped up back to normal speed. He quickly drew another card, the shooting star card.
The card transformed into a beam of light, shot at the angel, and blasted its arm, damaging it badly.
Because of this sudden attack, the time dome stopped, and the clones could move freely. They all immediately activated the abyssal flames and covered their swords, quickly attacking the stunned angel.
The flame blade arcs rained on the angel's body heavily, cutting into the hard marble body. They managed to bring the angel to its knees.
Silva then transformed back into human and used flash step to get to the angel quickly, and then he activated the spell, gate of hell.
But not with just his blood, but all the clones donated blood to create the biggest gate he had ever created.
The gate formed, and from the depths of the gate, chains shot out and wrapped around the angel, pulling it inside, forcefully pulling it.
When the angel was pulled into the gate, the gate closed. It stayed quiet for a beat, but then the gate refused to disappear and started shaking.
Silva knew that the angel was about to break out. But he knew that the gate would still have damaged the angel, so it would be really weak now.
Silva summoned the clones that were dead back to him. They all lined up ten meters away from the gate, holding their weapons. They all gathered the dark mana into their weapons, making sure to use all of Silva's mana.
And when the gate shot open and the angel shot out, they all attacked, and the darkness arcs hit the angel, cutting and destroying the angel's body into pieces of stone.
[Congratulations, you have killed a ####]

Silva dusted himself off and got up. This fight today had shown him that while he packed strength, there were more and more strong beings lurking around.
If this was just the minion, then how would the master be?
He pushed those thoughts aside for the moment and decided to head back to the city.
---
A distance away from Blacklight, on a mountain path, a portal appeared. From the portal, a blue-haired boy, a cat lady in a maid outfit, and a golden-haired elf in pure white and gold armor walked out.
"You seriously followed us. Your father will not be happy with that at all," the blue-haired boy said.
"You don't have to worry about it. I informed him that it's training for being a demon lord. He has been my encouragement, so he couldn't stop me," she said.
"At least hide your ears. We don't want anyone finding out. And you, Rei, make sure you use the ring I gave you; it will help you conceal yourself." He spoke to the maid, and she simply nodded in response.
"Why didn't Laura come with us? She was the one who sensed the new demon king candidate. She should be here," the elf said.
"Laura was called by the demon kings. They had something to discuss with her," the boy said.
They changed their appearance to look normal and headed for the city.
When they arrived at the gate, they identified themselves as travelers and got temporary passes to enter. As soon as they entered, they began their search.
There was a special energy that a demon king candidate gave off, and that was what they were looking for.
After a while of no success, they entered a tavern. As they were entering, they brushed shoulders with a guy who was leaving with another guy.
They didn't notice anything until they sat down, and then it hit them. They felt the energy they were looking for on the person who brushed past them.
They all got up immediately and left, leaving the waitress stunned as she was bringing a tray of water.
The three of them came outside and started looking around for the person they had touched, but they couldn't find him.
"I can't believe we got close and then lost him," the blue-haired boy said.
"We should look more; at least we know that he is here," the elf said.
On the roof of the tavern, Silva was seated with a piece of barbecued meat on a stick, watching the three as he sat up there.
He had just arrived back in the city and met with Quin to have some food at a tavern, but then Lily contacted him and told him that someone had entered the city and they were powerful non-humans.
Normally, people entering the city was not important, but because she was heavily attuned to magic, she noticed when a portal was opened even at that distance, and she checked it out.
The only reason she didn't know that Silva was fighting the angel was because the angel had more advanced ways to disrupt and hide things.
When she told Silva of their presence, he decided he would find them later. But he never expected that as he finished eating, they would walk into the same place.
So he bid Quin farewell, bought a steak, and went to the roof to watch. What could they possibly want in this town?
He followed them from the roofs until they decided to split up, and then he made two clones and had them follow the maid and the elf, while he followed the boy.
He kept following as they searched different places and entered different places, but it seemed that whatever they wanted, they couldn't find it.
Silva got tired of waiting and watching, so when they finally converged at night to end the day, he came down from the roofs and started walking toward them, making his presence known.
When the three noticed his presence, they all turned in his direction as he came out of the shadows into the crystal lights.
"Hello!" he greeted with a smile.
The blue-haired boy looked at Silva keenly, and then he felt the energy, the energy of a demon king candidate.
"You, it's you. You are the one," the blue-haired boy said.
"What do you mean, bro? I'm not anyone," Silva said.
"You're not human, right? You are a demon king candidate," the boy said.
As soon as he said that, Silva silently alerted Lily and Elsa to be ready to teleport the whole squad here.
"No wonder you guys are here. A spirit, an elf, and a beast woman," Silva said. It shocked them that he knew what they were, as it was supposed to be hidden from everyone.
"I don't know how you knew our real races, but let's skip that. I am called Aqua, a water spirit and a demon king candidate. The maid beside me is Rei.
The elf is called—"
"I'm Amber Greenwood, daughter of the king of the golden elf tribe, the ruler of all elves and a demon king candidate," she introduced herself enthusiastically. Aqua was shocked because this was the first time he saw her do something like that.
"I see, so you are demon king candidates. Well, my name is Silva Terron, and as of now, I'll have to take you to my hold to talk." Silva said, and then multiple portals opened with the Guardians walking out, all armed.
Another portal opened behind Silva, and he pointed at the portal.
"Please, this way. Let's not have conflict."

SSS RANKED REINCARNATION: DARK DRAGON LEGACYC128: spirit form
Aqua was shocked when he found himself surrounded. He could feel the power emanating from the Guardians, and he knew they were strong.
He didn't believe that he would lose in a fight, but the cost of winning would be very great.
So he decided to go with the flow. He didn't know how Silva had such powerful backup, but he wanted to find out.
So he headed inside the portal without argument.
As the three of them passed through the portal, Silva checked their stats as they went inside.

They all had high levels and outstanding stats. It seemed they had amazing legacies that allowed them to get to this level fast.
Silva became eager to get to know what they were about. He wanted to gather information on the demon kings.
Everyone walked into a portal and returned to the Labyrinth, into the throne room.
Aqua, Rei, and Amber looked around the place in shock; they didn't expect to be brought here. But that was not the main issue for them.
The main issue was why Silva brought them here. They looked up at Silva, who was seated on the throne already, lapping Elsa.
The Guardians stood alert, watching. Even Gallan, Aris, and Fans stood watching.
Silva felt that this was really important, so he summoned Dawn. It had been a while since they saw each other. She wanted to leap and hug him, but then she felt the dense atmosphere and knew that something was up, so she quickly gathered herself.
"What is this place?" Aqua asked.
"Well, this place is my home, my Labyrinth. But those are unimportant details. Tell me about you and the demon kings and also why you came here," Silva spoke.
"There is a commanding tone in your voice. Why should I respond to such impudence? I have come here to take you back to the place where I and the other demon king candidates are.
And you will come with me, even if it is by force. Do you understand that?" Aqua said.
"Hmm, you may be a demon king candidate, but you are still a candidate. You are still weak and a nobody as of now. And right now, you stand in my home, and I can kill you in a second," Silva said.
"Amber, it seems we will have to force this one back," Aqua said to Amber, but Amber raised her hand and waved it, meaning she wasn't going to be a part of it.
"Huh? Why will you not fight?" Aqua asked.
"Because I have interest in him, and also, you may have not noticed, but some of these beings here have power levels that only the High Council has," Amber said.
Silva was confused about what she meant by High Council, but now was not the time.
"That's impossible, they can't be that strong. If you don't want to fight, just tell me," Aqua said. He took out a staff and pointed it at Silva.
"Rei, back me up if things go sour," Aqua said. He was about to cast a spell when suddenly, a hand was placed against his neck. He looked up and saw Drake looking at him coldly.
Aqua didn't see him move, he didn't, so how was this man here?
Amber shifted away as soon as this happened, to show that she was not interested in the fight.
But Rei immediately charged at Drake. Drake swung his arm like he was swatting a fly and sent her flying. She hit the wall very hard and passed out.
"Is this the demon king candidate? Is this how pathetic you are?" Silva asked. Aqua was pissed at that, but he couldn't move or he would die.
"This is because the demon curse has yet to be bestowed," Amber spoke up.
Silva immediately turned his attention to her to hear what she had to say.
"When the demon king candidates are chosen, they must head to a place known as the Gates of the Demons. Within, there are the statues of several demon kings before us.
In that place, on a blood moon, you will receive your curse, which will become a huge part of your power.
According to what is known, a single curse can raise one's level by tens and hundreds. That is when the true demon king candidates are born.
Currently, there are eleven, and you are the twelfth. Only two remain to be found. If they are found, we must all converge at the Gate at the blood moon," she explained to Silva.
This was the first time that he had heard this, but it did make sense. Heroes and demon kings are the ultimate beings. .
There had to be something that differentiated them from mere mortals.
"I see. So you will be weak until then. Well, I understand. Now, as for leaving with you, that will be a no.
In fact, tell your demon kings and king candidates that I have a lot to do as of now. I will not be going anywhere," Silva said.
"You must," Aqua yelled, but Drake gripped his throat, forcing him to stop.
"When is the next blood moon?" Silva asked.
"According to the Watchers of the Stars and Skies, they say in a year's time. There is still an entire year until the blood moon, the period for the awakening.
On that day, both heroes and demons will head to their respective places to receive their blessings and curses," Amber explained.
"I see. I'd love to ask some more questions, and Lady Amber seems to be more understanding. So I and she will have a talk.
As for Aqua and Rei, take care of them. We can't have a demon king candidate dead, it would hurt," Silva said before getting up from his throne.
"Lady Amber, please come with me," Silva said as he walked toward the door. She looked at Aqua, who was extremely pissed. She smiled and walked away.
He had expected to come here and show his dominance. He didn't expect that Silva would have such people under his wings; it took him by surprise.
Aqua couldn't take this humiliation, his common sense went out the window, and he transformed into his water spirit form and slipped out of the hand of Drake, shooting for Silva.
But before he could cross half the distance, a massive black fireball shot through the hall. Aqua, in his liquid form, only managed to notice it when it was almost hitting him.
He tried to dodge, but the fireball was so fast that it still evaporated half of him, causing him excruciating pain.
The fireball continued until it hit the wall, exploding and leaving a very massive hole. The Labyrinth immediately started closing up the hole.
Aqua turned back into his human form with his arm bloodied and battered. Normally, when he was attacked in his liquid form, it would only weaken him, but not damage his physical body.
Then how? How did that attack just now do it? He asked himself in dread.
"If you ever think of attacking Father again, I'll destroy your existence," Elsa warned, her eyes glowing in pure anger.
Silva and Amber paused at the door to look at Aqua.
"You should be careful, Aqua. When you are here, my word is law," Silva said and walked out.
"See you later, Aqua," Amber said with a smile and left as well.
Aqua tried to heal himself. He tried to produce more water to regenerate his arm, but it wasn't working, and he was bleeding.
He existed in two forms: the form of the spirit, his water form, and his physical form. Each one worked complementarily.
He could escape physical attacks by turning into water, and he could regenerate limbs using water.
But now, it was as though his two forms had been separated from each other and he couldn't regenerate.
"The flames that touched you are not normal. I will not explain what they are, but you can't use your ability to regenerate for now," Elsa said as she walked up to him.
"I am a demon king candidate, you all can't do this to me!" he yelled.
"You are extremely lucky that Elsa left you alive. You tried to hurt Silva. If I were the one, I would have killed you where you stood," Dawn spoke.
"How can you all follow him? I can tell that he is weaker than all of you. I may have underestimated you all before, but now I know that you are all strong.
Why then are you all choosing to follow him? Whatever it is that you have, I can offer you—"
Drake placed his foot on the mouth of Aqua to stop him from talking.
"You are wrong about many things. One, you have nothing to offer us.
Two, Silva is stronger than all of us if he goes all out. He doesn't even know his own power yet.
And lastly, we chose to follow him because we deemed him worthy," Drake said.
