SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

"When we look at it realistically, Keep won't be able to even keep up the hundred points payment, that interest will catch up to him, and that would elongate the time of his service," she explained.

Later that day, Silva decided that it was time to head into the labyrinth. It had been about three days, and today he needed to eat. Yes, gluttony was on its last day.

Though he had enough souls locked up, he decided to go; those souls could be for later.

The guards already knew him, so they let him in as soon as he reached the gate. Silva decided not to call Fang, Dawn, and Gallan.

His clones would be enough if he wanted to get serious. He walked through the first floor like it was his house.

The Mangledons that attacked him were too weak, so he got rid of them easily. He passed through the second floor.

When he got to the third floor, he was immediately met with a massive Mangledon about twelve feet tall.

The Mangledon charged at Silva. It swung its fist at him, Silva blocked it to gauge the strength.

His hands trembled a bit after receiving that attack, but the strength was not impressive to him.

He grabbed hold of the Mangledon's arm and twisted it. The arm tore off easily, and he used the arm to swing it into the face of the Mangledon.

The fist slammed into the face and sent it crashing into a wall. He followed up immediately, punching into the head of the Mangledon, crushing the head.

Immediately after killing that one, he sensed a horde headed his way. Silva pointed his hand in the direction.

As soon as the Mangledons showed up, he fired dark blades rapidly, cutting through the horde.

He wiped out half of them and then charged into their midst like a bullet. His speed was faster than they could react to, and he tore them apart easily.

Silva had muted his notifications except for the level-up notification, so when he leveled up, it came through.

[Level up, 2 free stat points]

He finally leveled up to 70, but he didn't stop there.

After finishing the Mangledons, he headed deeper into the labyrinth when suddenly he heard a scream.

He knew someone was about to get killed, but Silva wasn't a hero. Still, he decided to check it out.

The only people allowed here were fourth years, and if there was a Mangledon that even a fourth year couldn't beat, then he wanted to kill it—that would be more EXP for him.

Silva ran in that direction and saw a group of Mangledons, five in total, about to kill a female student.

"Wow, this academy is shit, allowing students to come here and die," Silva said. He leaped into the air and fired a dark bullet, but the bullet didn't pass through the head of the Mangledon, which was a shock.

It did, however, draw their attention and caused them to face Silva. Silva used his dragon eyes on them, wondering why it was able to block that shot.

They had stats over 600, and it was just the basic dark bullet that he used to shoot; he didn't make it special.

The Mangledons charged at him. They were faster than any he'd faced so far. He was sure these Mangledons were not supposed to be on the third floor.

It was possible they had chased this girl from the lower floors.

A Mangledon leaped at Silva, trying to bite his head off. Silva stepped back and grabbed the mouth of the Mangledon, ripping it apart.

He used the body to throw at the other incoming Mangledons, then gave chase. He took out his sword and slashed, firing an abyss flame arc.

The flames burned through the Mangledons, causing them immense pain. They started thrashing around, trying to hit Silva before they died.

"Not happening. Gates of Hell." Silva cast his spell, and the gates opened to take all their souls.

He then used Gluttony on them. These were stronger Mangledons, and he was sure they would have some skills he could take.

[Gluttony activated]

[3000 EXP gained] x10

[You have gained Skill, Charge]

[Charge: improve speed for a short distance Dash by 2 times] x10

The skill felt pretty useless to Silva, and unlike the other time, he didn't get multiple choices. He already had Flash Step and didn't see the need for Charge at all.

"Sigh, well, whatever," he said and started walking away.

"Wait!" the girl called out to him, but Silva didn't pay attention. He didn't want her thanks or her questions.

"At least tell me your name," she said.

"Sigh, Silva Terron," he said and walked away.

Silva immediately headed deeper inside the labyrinth at full speed. He wanted to see what level he had to reach to start seeing this as a real challenge.

He went deeper and deeper, ignoring all the little fries along the way. But if any tried to obstruct him, he would simply smash them to pieces.

Just like that, he made it to the tenth floor, the last recorded floor to be raided.

After the tenth floor, there were mysteries beyond, and now he was about to find out.

Silva stepped into the next floor, and the whole place changed. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all.

He started using his senses and Vibration Sensing to navigate. He headed into the corridor, and soon he found a group of monsters.

They looked like Mangledons, but their skin seemed different—like metal.

The monster immediately charged at Silva. With every step, it caused sparks on the floor. It suddenly extended a silver blade from its arm and slashed at Silva.

Silva leaped back, dodging the attack, but before he landed, the metallic Mangledon was already charging at him.

Silva could tell without a doubt that this monster surely had stats over a thousand. The Mangledon kept slashing and pushing Silva back.

Its attacks were quite simple, relying mostly on its strength—no technique or anything.

After watching it for a while, Silva took out his sword and blocked the attack. The backlash caused the Mangledon to be pushed back several steps.

Silva then charged at the Mangledon. He stabbed for the head and forcefully tore through the hard metallic surface, killing it.

The Mangledon disappeared and left a small metallic core. Silva took the core and then went deeper inside.

Silva now understood why the Mangledons had Vibration Sensing and could see in the dark—it was because they lived in places like this.

The ones on the upper floors were just weaker versions of these.

Because of the ruckus he made during the fight, more Mangledons started heading his way, three of them.

As soon as they were in range, they charged at him with their blades. Silva dodged the attack of the first one and stabbed the gut of the Mangledon.

Another one attacked immediately. Silva moved out of the way, and its blade stabbed into the ground, stuck for a second. That second was all Silva needed.

He leaped up and delivered a kick to the head of the Mangledon, completely removing its head.

He stepped on the body, used it as a springboard, and stabbed right into the head of the next Mangledon, killing it. The body fell and turned into a metallic core.

Silva took the core and continued his journey inside. He decided to go as deep as the twelfth floor, and when he reached there, he would turn back for now.

Back in a dimly lit room, a cloaked man sat at a desk watching a small black bird in a cage.

He stared at the bird for hours until finally, he took out a small pin and stabbed it into the bird.

Nothing happened for a few seconds, but then suddenly, the bird started screeching and thrashing around madly until it turned into a grotesque bird.

The man reclined into his chair when he saw that the bird had transformed, and he started whistling a tune.

After he finished, he burned the whole letter.

"Silva, so he was the son of a Duke? He was a lost son? That story does not check out. That boy wasn't lost; he knew what he was doing all the time.

There's no way he wouldn't know that he wasn't truly the son of the one he was with, and it would be easy for someone like him to find his parents.

Something is being hidden by the Duke. It's probably a ploy to stop things from escalating.

But that aside, this Silva has become way more interesting than before," the man said. He opened the cage and took out the bird abomination.

The bird writhed and thrashed around, and the man simply snapped its neck and killed it. From the darkness of his cloak, the outline of an evil smile showed on his face
