SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

“Well, my name is Orion Lukesworth, an A-ranked adventurer from Blacklight City,” the man said and stretched out his hand for a handshake.

As their hands locked together, Orion started adding pressure, like he was trying to test Silva’s strength.

Silva frowned. Did this idiot even know what he was doing? Dawn was right there beside him; there was no way she hadn’t noticed what he was doing.

Taking into account the character that Dawn had started building, she would kill anyone that touched Silva.

And like he said, he could sense her emotions raging up.

Silva decided to disgrace Orion a little, and so he squeezed as well.

Orion felt a sharp wave of pain. He tried to hold a strong face and remove his hand, but he couldn’t pull it out. He looked at Silva, who was smiling at him.

‘This brat! How dare he?’ Orion was fuming with rage.

“Next time, be cautious,” Silva said, released his hand, and walked away.

The other adventurers could not really see what happened, but the stronger B-ranks and A-ranks knew, and thoughts had started sprouting in their heads.

What was Silva’s strength? How did he acquire such power? Was it possible to steal that strength?

Silva was aware of the blooming envy, and like before, that was what he needed.

He met with Quin, whose team was here as well. Since they were a B-ranked team, they had to come too.

When Roxy saw him, she ran up to him and hugged him, but then she saw Dawn behind him, and their eyes clashed.

Sparks flew as the two looked at each other.

Dawn would have no issue with another woman having feelings for Silva, but she hated the fact that Roxy was evidently hating on her and trying to get Silva all to herself.

That can’t happen. Dawn would rather let the world burn than lose Silva after finally getting someone that she wanted to be with, and the person accepted her.

Silva noticed the tension and decided that he would make something clear to them before he entered the labyrinth, or else, Dawn might just kill Roxy.

He whispered into Roxy’s ear.

“If you think you’ll be the only lady I’ll be around, you are sorely mistaken. Even if they aren’t for love, I’ll have to be with them for political or personal reasons.

I’m telling you this now so that you don’t go getting mad over what you can’t control. If this is too much for you to handle, then you can always forget about me,” Silva said.

It was as though a bomb exploded in her head when she heard the last line—’you can forget about me’—her heart tightened.

She knew it was impossible to tie Silva down, but she wanted to try at least. But now it was Silva telling her that it wouldn’t work.

She was conflicted; she tried to resolve her thoughts.

Silva pushed her off him a bit and looked her in the eyes. “When you are certain of what you want, tell me, alright?” he said, then left her.

He knew what she would choose, but he hoped for another result. If she kept loving him, she was digging a hole for herself, because Silva was unpredictable, and this may lead to some painful situations for her.

Silva met Quin and gave him a clear warning.

“No matter what, Quin, stay with me in the labyrinth, you and your party. You guys have to stay with me, do you understand?” Silva asked.

Quin didn’t know why Silva was saying it like that, but since it was Silva, there had to be a reason, so he decided to follow Silva’s instructions.

“Then, we’re in your care, bro,” Quin said.

Right now, they stood with over a hundred adventurers from the town and city, consisting of C-ranks and B-ranks that came from Ribest.

And then B-ranks and A-ranks from Blacklight City. In all honesty, this wasn’t a raid but a flex, and the Blacklight City adventurers were only here to bully, but Silva was ready, very ready for them.

It was finally time to go in. Silva called all the B-ranked adventurers from Ribest; they were mostly men, but about six were women.

They all surrounded him, even Lucas, who had been beaten up badly that day. He refused to look Silva in the eyes.

“Alright, most of you already have parties, and your parties are here, so I need you guys to lead them in small groups. Also, just for today, allow anyone who wants to join your party.

There are some solo raiders here, so assimilate them into your party if possible. They will all follow you, while you follow my orders or Dawn beside me.” Silva pointed to Dawn. He watched closely to see their reactions toward her, and sure enough, some of them looked at her in ways that pissed him off.

Silva marked them, about five men in total. To think the women didn’t even look at her badly, but some idiots did. He would hand these men over to Lily for sure.

“She is an A-ranked adventurer, and she will be helping me today, so her orders are only secondary to mine. You forfeit your life if you disobey her in this raid, and I mean that,” Silva said and used his killing intent to pressure them.

After the small talk, they all stood in front of the labyrinth and walked in. The group of over a hundred started their march.

As soon as they entered, Silva started receiving updates from the lowest floor. Elsa and the others were watching and working.

Silva was sending them information about the people he would like dead to feed the labyrinth, those he wanted kidnapped and tortured for information.

And those that looked at Dawn with eyes they shouldn’t have. Those ones were set to simply suffer eternal pain.

The remaining amounted to about sixty to seventy people. From that amount, he needed to make it more real, so twenty would be heavily injured, while the rest would suffer minor injuries all over.
