SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Quin noticed Silva on the battlefield and made his way to him quickly.

“Silva,” Quin called out.

“Yeah, what’s up, bro?” Silva asked.

“You are probably wondering why the Viscount would call all the adventurers and guards for some wolves, right?” Quin asked. He stabbed an incoming wolf while talking and ripped his sword through its side.

“Yeah, that question was in my mind. It seems like overkill, or does the Viscount know about the other hundreds of beasts in the forest?” Silva asked as he sidestepped and dodged a wolf, splitting it in half.

“Seems you know already. Well, it was my team that noticed the several beasts. The wolves were just far ahead and got to the town first. The Viscount didn’t have the time to explain to everyone, but he specifically asked me to tell you to help him protect this town,” Quin said.

“What about the other B-ranks? And the guild master?” Silva asked.

“They are the final line of defense, but you are the sword that will go forward,” Quin said.

“Alright, I understand what you want. I’ll go ahead then,” Silva said.

“Alright, my party will provide you with support,” Quin said. He took out a crystal and crushed it. All the members had the same crystal on them, and as soon as Quin broke his own, theirs cracked as well.

This was a crystal that allowed them to know that they were being summoned by their boss, so they all immediately headed for Quin.

By now, more than half of the wolves were already dead, so the battlefield was far clearer.

“Alright, we will be backing Silva up. Try to keep up,” Quin said and then nodded to Silva.

Quin charged towards the forest and called Fang to meet him. The party already knew about Fang, so when they saw him, they didn’t react.

“Fang, were you able to take out some?” Silva asked.

“Yes, I killed about ten, but then that man noticed me, so I ran away before he could do anything,” Fang said.

“That was a good decision. We don’t know what he is capable of just yet,” Silva said.

They soon came into contact with horned earth bears. A single one could stand ten feet tall, and there were more than twenty here.

Their levels all ranged from 50 to 60 with high strength and defense stats over a hundred.

“Take them two on one,” Silva said to the party. The only person amongst them that would be able to take one on would be Quin.

For the others, they wouldn’t be able to handle the strength of the bears.

Silva could sense several more beasts farther in the back, but he couldn’t sense that person yet.

A bear used its paw to slam Silva. Silva blocked the attack with his sword, and the bear received the whiplash from the strike.

Their strength was evenly matched. It was like a fully grown adult versus a baby.

The bear was enraged that it couldn’t hit Silva, so it attacked again. Silva dodged the paw and sliced it off.

The decapitated hand flew into the air. Silva leaped into the air, his intelligence squad stats calculating.

With the results of their calculations, he kicked the paw at the perfect angle, causing it to shoot forward, and the claws pierced into the bear’s eyes.

Silva landed, then dashed at the thrashing bear in pain. He jumped again and slit the bear’s throat cleanly.

“Tsk, that was too easy,” Silva said. He was immediately attacked by another bear. He moved out of the way and then kneed the bear in the head, obliterating its skull.

Before the blood of the bear reached the ground, he charged at another, got on its back, and twisted the bear’s head, killing it.

He had basically stopped using his sword, as he felt it was pointless.

Fang was also toying with the beasts. He used his paws to playfully bat their heads off with ease. Not only was he stronger, but he also had the ten-times bonus.

He would have already attacked that man, but Silva didn’t allow him to, which was why he ran away.

Right now, his strength was that of an evolved beast, or even more. He was confident in that, but Silva was a cautious person.

The twenty bears were killed in five minutes. Quin only managed to kill two, and his party took down two.

The rest were split between Silva and Fang.

“Was there really a need for us to come with Sir Silva?” Roy asked.

“Of course, what if something happened to him?” Roxy said.

“I feel like there is nothing in this region that can threaten Silva,” Rock said.

“Haha, you guys are overestimating me,” Silva said.

“No, Master, you are the one underestimating your power. Honestly, you are the most terrifying being I have seen.

That man had taken us by surprise that day, but he didn’t give me the kind of aura you give me. When I look at you, I feel like a massive being is glaring at me.

The aura you exude is a mountain, and that man is a molehill,” Fang explained.

Silva thought about what Fang said. It was common for beasts to subconsciously fear stronger beings. If that was the case, then Fang was scared of Silva’s dragon.

The dragon in him was visible to beasts, maybe even to humans. Silva felt a sense of pride from that.

[Hidden Mission Complete: Understand yourself. You are a dragon, a prideful being. Caution is not in your nature.]

[Rewards: Dragon newt form. Transform into a human-lizard form. All stats are doubled. Pride of a dragon. Your pride rises during battle, and so does your efficiency.]

These messages were so important that the intelligence squad had to let Silva see them. When Silva saw it, he felt pride rising in his body.

He set aside all the plans he had. He looked at his brother.

“Quin, return to the town and protect it. I’ll take care of everything here,” Silva said.

Quin wanted to refuse, but he looked at Silva’s glowing eyes and knew that this was not a discussion. He ordered the team to move out.

Roxy was reluctant, but Silva walked to her and assured her with a pat on her head that he would be fine, so she finally left with the party.
