SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 170: Ronald versus the king

Silva walked into the cave of the dragon with a stool, set it down, and then sat down. The dragon saw him but didn't say anything.

"Heyo Agler, I'm back, so let's talk now. Tell me about yourself, Agler. And if I find you truthful and interesting, I'll release you, and we'll know what to do from there."

"Well, I'm Agler, a dragon that has lived for over five hundred years. I was captured when I was only a child.

My mother was tracked by the hero just for fun and training, and she was beaten up badly, almost to death, and then the hero left.

But she didn't get the time to rest because a black figure suddenly came and fought her in her dying breath and killed her.

After killing her, it took me away, and I was brought to this place where I was sealed for all these years. Blood was constantly drawn out with my mana as well.

So I would never get strong enough to break free of the seal. The seal was reinforced every year, for all the years I've been here without fail," Agler explained.

"Alright then, your story was lackluster and really boring, but it was truthful.

But that's beside the point. I have an offer for you. I will make you my subordinate, and you will be under a pact with me.

What I want you to do is fly to the dragon country. I will show you how to get there and also give you a very believable backstory.

I want you to become my spy and watch for me. You may not know anything about dragons, but you just have to tell them your backstory and act the part," Silva explained.

"But why? You are a dragon yourself; I'm sure you can easily go there yourself," Agler asked.

"Well, that's because I am a dark dragon, the rarest of all dragons to exist. As of now, only two of us exist. If the world knew now, there would be a great issue.

Because dark dragons are known for their power and growth potential. Most people would see it as the rise of a new and powerful threat.

They would start plotting against me and making attempts on my life and all that. Also, I have a kingdom to build, and I can't be jumping all around, not now, until I am done," Silva explained.

"I see, so you want me to go on your behalf," Agler said.

"Yes, Sherlock, I said that from the beginning. Now, I don't really know how you were connected to this thing, and I don't know how to get you out of it.

But I have people who will be able to do it, so I'll go and get them. You just sit tight and pass through some of the pain for a bit. I'll be back," Silva said and got up to leave the cave.

The king stared at Ronald after hearing him say that Silva was a demon lord candidate. The veins on his head bulged and throbbed.

"Are you messing with me? I will have his head and the heads of everyone around that brat. Gather the army; I don't care, call them all.

We will march now and camp, and at midnight, we will attack Blacklight and destroy the enemy," the king said.

"I don't think that's a smart choice, my king. This will lead to the destruction of our army," Ronald said.

The king walked up to Ronald and looked him in the face. "Ronald, you will get the demon blood ready, and you will march the army down to the enemy's location.

You will use whatever means necessary, and you will cut down the enemy, or you die trying. There is no option; there is no turning back," the king said.

"Your highness, I beg you to reconsider," Ronald said.

"You will do as you are told, Duke Ronald," the king said.

Ronald took a step back and drew his sword. "Sadly, I will not comply. You have become enraged, and you are making rash decisions that will cost the lives of thousands," Ronald said.

"You dare raise your sword against me?" the king asked.

"You have left me with no choice. I can't allow you to lead the army in such a state. I will take whatever punishment comes to me, but I will not back down on this," Ronald said.

"Then you die," the king said and drew a sword, a sword covered in runes that glowed as he held it.

He charged at Ronald with such speed that he caused a small sonic boom. Ronald's face changed into a serious one.

He took a defensive stance. The king slashed at Ronald, who stepped back and parried the attack with one arm, while his second arm created a ball of ice. He fired it, and it slammed into the king's chest, sending him flying.

The king stood up immediately and raised his sword. Lightning began crackling around the sword. He slashed down, and a lightning serpent shot out of the sword at Ronald.

Ronald leaped out of the way. The serpent dove into the wall and destroyed it. Ronald got up immediately and charged at the king.

The temperature of his sword dropped until ice formed around it.

He slashed, and the ice on the sword extended, increasing the length of the sword by several meters.

The king blocked the sword, then charged at Ronald, leaping into the air and stabbing down. The blade was covered with lightning and came down super fast.

Ronald leaped out of the way. The king's sword struck the ground, and the ground exploded, creating a massive crater that shook the entire building.

Ronald landed and immediately ran out through the hole in the wall. He needed space if he was going to battle the king. The king's lightning was wild and explosive, and Ronald needed more spacespace in other to fight full strength.
