SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 128: 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.

Aqua

Lv: 1 (evolved)

Strength: 3000

Defense: 3000

Speed: 3500

Agility: 3500

Intelligence: 4000

Amber

Lv: 95

Strength: 1000

Defense: 1500

Speed: 1000

Agility: 1000

Intelligence: 2000

Rei

Lv: 90

Strength: 800

Defense: 700

Speed: 1000

Agility: 1000

Intelligence: 1500

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. Discover secrets at m-vl-emp _yr.

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.
