SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 133: Void Labyrinth

The day for the internal competition for the selection of those that would go for the Elite competition drew near.

Many students trained as hard as they possibly could, wanting to improve even if only a little; they needed all the help they could get.

On the night before the day, Silva decided to go into the void labyrinth. He was yet to test it out and was curious as to what it was.

So he headed out in the night into a dark corner and then activated one of the ten tickets.

A swirling portal appeared before him, and he walked inside without hesitation.

The inside of the portal was a corridor made of what looked like crystals and glass. Outside the glass was an empty void filled with stars and clusters of dust.

It created a beautiful scenery, but Silva was not bothered by the scenery.

He could sense a lot of strong beings headed his way. He decided that tonight, he would evolve. No matter how long he had to grind and kill, he would make sure he evolved tonight.

When the beings came into view, they looked like they were made of black crystals, their bodies held together by strings of energy that felt like Mana but were more potent.

Six of them faced Silva, their great eyes glowing red, and they launched at him. Their speed was unbelievable as they reached Silva in a very short time.

Though it was not comparable to the speed of the angel he fought.

He leaped back and dodged the powerful punch of the first one. The fist slammed into the ground and caused a crack which fixed up instantly.

Another one leaped over the head of the one that had punched and charged at Silva, its hand turning into a sharp blade that went for Silva's throat.

Silva pulled out his sword and immediately parried the attack. He stepped in and pushed the hand of the being aside, then went for a slash from down to up.

But his blade hit the crystal body, and nothing happened, only sparks flew. However, the force of the attack still sent the being flying.

Silva didn't have time to chase that one because two of them tried to flank him, both aiming for his head with their attacks.

Silva flipped and dodged the attack. His hand was placed on the ground, and he used his dark tendrils. They shot out of the ground and latched onto the legs of the two that had attacked.

But they immediately deactivated the connection between their main bodies and their legs, allowing them to escape.

The legs that were tied then suddenly moved at great speed toward Silva.

Silva immediately created a tendril wall. The legs hit the wall and were repelled back. After they were repelled, they returned to their owners.

"These things have really good fighting abilities," Silva commented.

The six of them charged at Silva again, running in formation toward him.

"I can't let them keep that formation. I have to break them apart."

He used the tendrils again, and the tendrils lashed out with full force, forcefully hitting them and spreading them apart.

When there was an opening in the formation due to his intervention, he charged through the opening, got behind them, and then took out his axe.

The axe glowed bright red.

"Have some of this!" He roared and swung the axe down. The axe hit the floor, causing massive vibrations and cracking in the ground.

The energy that he had gathered into the axe exploded out and slammed the beings into the walls.

Using the opportunity, he charged at one of them and swung for the head. His axe met with the head, and this time it dug deep into it.

Silva then channeled his abyssal flames through the axe, and they erupted from inside the head of the being.

[Congratulations, you have killed a Crystalline. 1000 EXP, 500 SO]

When Silva saw the amount he got from the Crystalline, a smile formed on his face. If he killed all six, he would level up.

And if there were lots of them, he would be able to actually evolve. A smile formed on his face as he looked at the remaining five, eager to kill them.

The other five Crystalline also seemed eager to kill him. They all got in formation and were about to attack.

The one he killed turned into a crystal the size of a fist. But Silva left picking it up for later; he had to handle the enemies that were in his face now.

The five of them charged at him. Silva swung his blade and released a massive abyssal flame arc that pushed them back but didn't do much damage.

[You haven't consumed in three days. Gluttony rage mode has started taking effect. Your increase in strength and loss of sense will begin now.

You will lose all control after five minutes.]

Silva suddenly felt a heavy pang of hunger. His eyes glowed red, and his strength started surging as the hunger in him grew.

He had decided to turn off the gluttony timer. He felt that he would not have to worry, as he could consume at any time.

But he had totally forgotten that in the last three days, he was yet to consume anything. He thought about eating from the gate of hell.

But with what little consciousness remained, he decided to allow the hunger of gluttony to take over him for the meantime.

He had five minutes. He wanted to see how much stronger he could get before he lost control. So he attacked the Crystallines with the hunger biting at him.

His veins bulged, and his eyes glowed crimson red.

He swung his axe with even more strength this time due to the hunger. The axe hit one of the Crystalline, and in one swift move, he managed to cut through it and kill it.

[Congratulations, you have killed a Crystalline. 1000 EXP, 500 SO]

Silva huffed and puffed as Gluttony automatically absorbed the soul of the Crystalline. It gave him a sweet feeling, but it was far from enough.
