SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 65: Raiding Plans

Silva didn't even use any weapons, all he did was let his aura loose. The man exploded, slamming into all the knights and throwing them in all directions.

The captain looked at this in shock, but the refusal in his head did not allow him to make the wise decision. He drew his sword.

"You bastard, I'll show you your place!" he roared, but after taking one step towards Silva, he fell to the ground and trembled.

The bloodlust that Silva released broke the man down, forcefully clearing his head, and the knight finally understood that he stood before his death.

Still, Silva had no plans to kill. He had taken over a hundred lives today, it was already too much; adding more would be going overboard.

Aside from that, killing the Duke's knights would not end well, no matter how weak they were.

"What's going on here?" A knight in black armor came from the forest, Raze was also with him.

When Raze saw Silva, he could already tell what had happened here. Raze bent over and whispered into the knight's ear.

The knight's face changed to shock and then quickly back to normal. He walked to Silva and bowed his head.

"I am deeply sorry about what the acting captain did. We were informed that there was a B-ranked adventurer inside the labyrinth, but we didn't know what you looked like.

I'm sure this idiot jumped to the conclusion that you were lying and attacked you. I'll make sure to punish him," the knight said.

"He was being controlled, a strange energy was clouding his mind, but it's gone now," Silva said.

"Still, there is no excuse. A knight allowed himself to be controlled, that is already an act worthy of death," the knight said.

'It's not like he had any choice, the person that clouded his mind was far stronger than him.' Silva thought. He glanced over to where he had seen the cloaked man, but the man was long gone.

"All of you, get up and head back to Ribest. Await your punishment there," the knight said. The knights groaned in pain and stood up, helping their vice-captain, who was acting captain. He could barely stand on his own.

The knight in black looked at all of them and wondered.

'This child took out all of them, and it doesn't look like he had any issue doing it. It doesn't even seem like he fought. How is that possible?'

"Silva, you've been in the labyrinth for so long. Tell us what happened," Raze went straight to the point.

"I went as deep as the tenth floor. The people that entered had overestimated the strength of an A-ranked labyrinth, so they were all killed.

I found some drops, and some were human-related drops, which leads me to believe that they were killed.

We can't be certain, but to be sure, the labyrinth needs to be explored further to find out," Silva said, lying as easily as breathing.

"Then the best thing would be for us to talk to the Viscount and also inform the Duke. We should gather a party of A-ranks down to B or C ranks from the city and the town," the knight said.

"That makes sense, we should get to that quickly," Raze agreed.

Silva started regretting telling this story, because he was certain they would want to put him in the party that would raid the labyrinth.

'Sigh, the things I have to do to look normal,' Silva thought.

Since they were done for now, they headed back to the town. The town had calmed down, and everything was alright.

"Okay Silva, we both will head to the Viscount's mansion. You can do what you want until we contact you," Raze said and left with the knight.

Silva let out a heavy sigh and decided to check the guild before heading home to rest.

He walked into the guild, which was rowdy as usual, and then he saw Quin sitting with his party.

They seemed to be celebrating something, so he headed there to find out.

"Hey, Silva, nice to see you here," Rock called out to him.

When Roxy heard Silva's name, she got up from her seat, ran up to him, and grabbed him by the hand.

"Silva, welcome, come join us," she said and pulled him to the table. She sat him beside her and clung to him.

"Let go of Silva, he just got here," Rock said to Roxy.

"Shut the hell up, he isn't complaining," Roxy said.

"That's because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings. I'm not as kind as he is," Rock said.

"It's okay, Rock, it doesn't really bother me," Silva said.

Silva looked at Tera and nodded in greeting to her, and she nodded back.

"So, what's the cause of the celebration?" Silva asked.

"Two things really," Rock said. "First, Quin is now a B-ranked adventurer, and second, Tera is as well.

And with two B-ranked adventurers, we took the test for the B-ranked party, and we passed," Rock explained.

"That's awesome, you guys are really moving up fast," Silva said.

"Hearing that come from you sounds like sarcasm," Roy pointed out.

"No, I'm serious," Silva said.

"We know you are, but then again, your speed is like ten times our speed, so you understand," Roy said.

Silva just smiled and then looked at Quin.

"Congratulations, bro," Silva said.

"Thanks," Quin replied.

"Now we're in the same rank again," Silva said.

"You're only there because you don't want to go up," Quin said with a small laugh.

Silva gave a nervous laugh. What his brother said was actually true; he didn't really want to go up, well, not yet.

"So, tell us about the labyrinth. We heard that you went in to chase after those people," Quin asked.

"Yeah, but I stopped at the tenth floor and came back after not seeing them. A team may be set up for a full exploration to check things out," Silva said.
