SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 47: A doll

Silva summoned all his clones, all of them stood side by side, waiting for the beasts that were headed their way.

He understood that the clones all had higher stats than him, so to make everything level out, he took out the Minotaur's axe.

All the clones were armed with basic swords, but with their power, it was enough for what they needed to do.

Silva got on the back of Fang, and leading the army of clones, he charged into battle as soon as the next wave of beasts came into sight.

Eleven Silvas ripped through the wave like a typhoon, and nothing was left; the beasts were all decimated in seconds.

They continued inward for the main army, and finally, they came head-on with the remaining beasts and the mysterious man that sat on the largest beast.

As soon as the man saw the enemies, he raised his hands, and the beasts charged at Silva and his clones.

The clones split into two groups of five and all used flash step to flank the man. Silva instructed Fang to blast a path through the center.

Fang used a powerful lightning roar, roasting all the beasts that blocked their path, and then he charged through the middle.

The man riding the beast panicked. He tried to retreat a bit, but he forgot to give the beast the right instructions, and the beast ended up throwing him to the ground and almost stomping on him.

He rolled out of the way and got on his feet. He took out a pin and injected the beast. It was similar to the one he used on Mike.

Just like Mike, the beast started turning into an abomination, but Silva could not allow it. He didn't know how much the strength of the beast would rise if it became an abomination.

He jumped from Fang's back and then used the new skill he had gained, which was transforming into a dragon newt.

His entire body was covered in thick black scales, his head took a lizard-type shape, and wings sprouted from his back, as well as a tail, but that was not the amazing part.

With the axe in his hands, his stats had already reached over thousands, but now that was not just doubled by the skill, it was also multiplied by ten.

His strength soared and hit a new high, well over ten thousand. Silva felt like there was nothing in this world that could stop him at this moment.

He swung the axe down; it tore through space, creating ripples as it moved. Immediately the axe touched the beast, it was blown to smithereens, the ground was torn apart, and the man was blasted away.

A clone ran and caught the man; they couldn't let him get away now, could they? That was why they flanked him, in case he ran away.

Now that their leader was taken down, all the beasts started running wild. Silva still had use for their exp, so the clones dealt with the beasts, and that allowed Silva to level up.

Silva walked to the man on the ground and removed his cloak, expecting to find out who he was, but what he saw was not normal.

It looked like a wooden doll, it had no face, no features whatsoever, and now that Silva had looked at it, it cracked up and then turned to dust like it was made of clay.

It seemed that whoever that person was, he was far smarter and stronger than Silva thought. He thought that he had finally caught the man, but it was a puppet.

That simply meant that the man was somewhere watching what was happening. Silva tried to think of a reason, with all his minds working at hyperdrive, but he still could not come up with a good reason for this man to be attacking this town.

The only two reasons were the man wanted Silva, or he wanted the dungeon. There could be another reason, but Silva had no lead.

"Sigh, forget it, I can't figure it out," Silva said. He unsummoned his clones, packed up all the dust from the doll as well as the cloak, before getting on Fang and leaving the forest.

He would have to take more time to think and look into the matter; it couldn't be rushed, but he knew for certain that the man wanted something in this town.

As soon as Silva left the forest and was far gone, a tear in space appeared and the cloaked man walked out, staring in the direction Silva had gone.

"So he is the one to be wary of. I'll need to get rid of him for the sake of the plan," the man said, and then disappeared.

As Silva headed back to town, he asked Fang to stay in the forest. He went back on his feet, but before he reached the town, he felt a gaze.

He turned back and looked in the direction of the gaze; he was vaguely able to sense a person, one similar to the cloaked man.

Silva thought of running back into the forest to fight him, but that wouldn't be possible. A person capable of appearing and disappearing, as well as hiding his presence, would surely escape before he got there.

Silva decided not to do anything, he just waited, and when the man finally disappeared, he went into the town.

Immediately he got back to town, Quin and the others came to meet him.

Quin explained to him that another beast used a different route and made it to the town gates. It was as strong as the one that Silva had killed in the forest.

The beast caused a lot of injuries but no deaths. They finally subdued it, and now the beast was captured alive and taken to the adventurer's guild.

Silva also had to go to the adventurer's guild; he needed to talk to Raze about the cloaked man. If he wanted to find out the reason for the man attacking, he needed some help.
