SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

The Chimera moved back, but it wasn’t fast enough; Silva’s sword sliced the leg clean off.

“This sword basically makes me dominate. Is this what having a good weapon can do? I want something better. I need something better than this,” Silva said to himself.

The Chimera saw that the situation had turned bad. It needed to get away from Silva. It tried to retreat, but Silva was already in a world of his own.

Silva had started making changes to his stats so that he could enjoy the sword to the fullest.

A powerful surge of power filled his body and made him feel elated. He charged at the retreating Chimera without a care in the world, forgetting that his stats now almost doubled that of the Chimera.

He leaped into the air and struck down, his sword splitting the Chimera in two like it was butter.

Silva received several messages after he killed the Chimera. He leveled up twice and was now at level 26.

He also got a ton of cool rewards, but all paled in comparison to the joy he got from the battle he had just fought.

The body of the Chimera slowly disappeared, leaving behind a sword. It was as if the labyrinth heard his cries for a better sword and sent him one.

It was a one-edged, black sword. He picked it up, and the blade appeared before him.

[Stinger of the Chimera, item type, B-tier sword, upgradeable.]

[Special ability: Poison]

Silva swung the sword around a few times and was happy with how it felt. He turned to face the others and then realized they had all been staring at him all this time.

They all had one question in mind: Was Silva even human? This was the Chimera they had struggled to stand against.

When he initially fought the Chimera, it looked like he was struggling, but then, all of a sudden, he split it in two with a smile on his face.

“Who are you?” the man who had lent him his sword spoke, walking up to Silva.

“My name is Silva. There is nothing special about me,” Silva said.

“Nothing special? Are you joking? We are a peak C-rank adventurer party from Blackstar City. Our strength is no joke, even in the city, yet my party, along with another C-ranked party, could not trouble that thing. Yet you killed it, so easily at that,” the man said.

‘Sigh, seems I did too much. I was eager to kill that Chimera; I didn’t care if they saw me. Well, I am pretty sure that I can’t stay hidden for long. The task the goddess is showing me has something to do with Blackstar City and the academy. I’ll have to go there soon.’

“Don’t worry too much about it. Your team should rest up and continue your exploration. I used Search, and there are no other beings like the Chimera around,” Silva said, signaling Quin to get going.

He handed the sword back to the man and walked away with his own party.

Normally, people would get pissed at you for stealing their prey, but everyone there knew that even if they ganged up on Silva, they would lose.

“Have you been hiding your strength all this time, Silva?” Quin asked.

“You already knew, didn’t you?” Silva asked as well.

“Well, I know you more than you think. I may not have interacted much, but I watched you grow and observed all your actions. You are very good at plotting and always have a plan ahead. I know that the reason you told that person your name back there was because you have a reason,” Quin said.

“You know me quite well, brother. I do have a reason. It’s something to do with the city of Blacklight,” Silva said.

‘If my name went around, Mother would know I am still alive, and that her plan to keep me alive worked. She named me so that one day she would find me. I still remember that look of love in her eyes and the pain she felt as she let me go.’

As they headed deeper inside, they started coming across goblins and hobgoblins. Silva refrained from any battles of that sort and let the others handle it.

They continued that way through the second floor without issues. At breaks, he would help Roxy cook and then clean up. She had become more comfortable with him helping.

Mike, on the other hand, got pissed at this sight. Whenever he saw Silva helping Roxy, his blood boiled.

“Mike, your swordplay is dull. It seems your mind is not here. And so, Silva will spar with you. Take out all your anger on him,” Quin said as they rested.

Mike looked confused for a bit. What was his brother plotting? Quin knew that he was not half as strong as Silva. Why would he suggest this now, to disgrace him?

“I know what you’re thinking, but it is not to disgrace you. It is to show you something. If you manage to land one hit on Silva, it means you are capable of going against him. If not, you are to drop this crazy anger that has filled you, forget about Silva, and focus on the labyrinth. Do you understand?”
