SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Aaron flew as far as he could, but soon he couldn’t keep flying and fell unconscious mid-air. Then a shadow leaped into the air and caught him.

The person landed on the ground with Aaron. It was Drake.

“When Master asked me to watch over his friend, I didn’t think anything would really happen to him, but it seems I was wrong,” Drake said.

Silva had given Drake a job to do while the others took down Dark Blade. Silva had discovered that Aaron would be meeting with his father today, so he decided to send Drake for safety.

Drake had watched the whole thing. He would have stepped in and helped, but he saw how fiercely Aaron resisted, so he decided to let Aaron fight.

He would only step in if Aaron was about to be killed.

He took Aaron through a portal and returned to the labyrinth. When he arrived, the others were all out doing what they had been asked to do to take down the Dark Blade.

The only person there was Elsa. Immediately, she saw Drake walk in with Aaron so beaten up. She ran to him and asked what happened.

Drake explained every detail to her, recounting what had happened.

“I need you to project the current image of Aaron to Master and tell him what happened before we heal Aaron,” Drake said.

Elsa nodded and began telepathically connecting with Silva.

Silva was walking from the forest with Dawn toward the town. It was now time for him to find the leader of the Dark Blade, as Fang and Gallan were doing their job.

“Daddy, something bad has happened,” Elsa spoke to Silva telepathically. She immediately showed him a mental image of Aaron and explained what had happened.

Silva balled his fist when he heard the details of what happened; his veins bulged. Dawn saw this and was worried about what he had been told that made him so angry.

“Dawn, stay in the forest. I’ll be sending Fang and Gallan back as well. Do not come near the town,” Silva said, then started walking.

She wanted to ask what was going on, but she could tell Silva was not ready to talk. His steps were heavy, and his bloodlust was leaking out of him.

“Gallan, Fang, you both have one minute to evacuate that city and stay in the forest with Dawn. If you are still there after the one minute is up, you might die,” Silva spoke to Gallan and Fang.

They didn’t know what was happening, but as soon as they heard his voice in their heads, they knew it was serious, and they immediately ran out of the city.

They passed by Silva, who was walking toward the city, but they didn’t stop because the killing intent he was leaking scared them. They simply ran past him.

“You think you can do what you want? All of you think you can do what you want? How dare you touch what’s mine?

I’ll burn it. I’ll burn this whole kingdom to the ground, foolish people trying to tamper with what is mine. I’ll burn everything, every single thing, down to the ground.” Silva spoke as he walked. When he was close to the town, he used mana to amplify his voice.

“If you don’t want to die, you have ten minutes to leave this town. After that, your death is on your hands.”

After speaking, he paused and counted down the time. Some people listened and ran out of the town with whatever they could.

But not everyone heeded, and soon the guards of the city charged out as well to deal with the threat.

“It seems the rest of the people here have made the decision to call my bluff,” Silva said, and right before everyone, he transformed into a dragon and shot into the air.

When the people saw a dragon in the sky, they all fell into panic, trying to evacuate the town as fast as possible.

“It is too late for that now,” his voice boomed. He opened his mouth and fired a stream of dark flames into the city.

The raging flames began devouring everything and killing everyone there. He circled the town and made sure to burn all of it into a crisp, without regard for age or status.

Whoever chose not to evacuate would pay with their life. After a while, more than half the town was burnt, and Silva noticed a figure escaping through the dark.

The leader of the Dark Blades. When he saw the dragon above in the sky, he immediately knew that there was nothing he could do, so he decided to run.

But Silva contacted Dawn and Fang to take care of him. Fang carried Dawn on his back, and they rode to the place outside the town where the leader had escaped.

When the leader saw them, he tried to fight his way out, but his head was already floating in mid-air by the time he blinked.

Silva was no longer interested in making anyone’s death long and painful. He simply wanted to wipe the kingdom off the map; this was the beginning of their war.

When Silva returned to his human form, the whole town was up in flames; there were no survivors.

Those who had listened and escaped looked back in terror, glad they had listened and left.

Silva returned to the forest where the three were waiting for him.

“Today we forget our humanity. They dared touch one of mine; I’ll send all of them to hell, regardless of who,” Silva said before making a portal for them to return.

When they got into the labyrinth, Aaron was already healed and waiting for Silva. When he saw Silva, he bowed his head in thanks for sending Drake to follow him and for healing him.

“I’m glad to see you’re fine. Ready yourself, though. Plans have changed because of you. I’ll be erasing a kingdom’s government now; they brought it upon themselves.”
