SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

With this new skill, Silva was happy and pissed at the same time.

The reason he was pissed was simple, he could make exactly ten clones with his buff, but it didn't stop there-- all his clones would be ten times stronger than him.

It made him happy because his strength had generally increased, but the fact that even his clones would be stronger than him made him feel a little bad.

Well, there was no reason to mull over it too much; at the end of the day, it was still his strength.

The carriage traveled until it was dark, and they set camp at a clearing. The guards gathered together and made food that they would eat.

The baron stayed with his children in a special tent that was brought, while Silva patrolled the area. He went out a bit and found Fang waiting for him; there was something they had to discuss.

"So Fang, the person that you said was watching from a distance, did you manage to get him?" Silva asked.

"Yes, he is unconscious. I left him a small distance away from here, but why did you ask me to get him and not kill him?"

'Sigh, that was because I had killed all the others and could not get any information.'

"I just have a few things to ask him, take me there," Silva said. Fang took him to the location where a skinny-looking man lay on the ground.

When he got there, he tapped the head of the man and poured some mana to kickstart the guy.

The eyes of the man shot open and he leaped off the ground in an attempt to defend himself, but Silva grabbed him by his neck and slammed him back to the ground.

"Stay down, you idiot. Now let me tell you this before you start lying to me.

If you lie, I'll see right through you, so you better be careful in your responses," Silva said, his eyes glowing and releasing a threatening aura.

This man could vaguely see Silva's face, but something told him that he was the one that had killed all the bandits that were hired.

If he dared do anything funny, he would be killed like a pig for slaughter.

"I'll answer honestly," the man said.

"Good, now who hired the bandits, and why?"

As he asked that question, he used his mana to search the body of the man. He tried to find the self-destruct mechanism that was also installed in the bandits.

He had to find it before the man answered. When the man started answering, he saw the mana in the man's body gathering at one specific point; he knew that had to be the point.

He channeled his mana as fast as possible and managed to disrupt the explosion, basically saving the man's life.

"It was Viscount Romeo. He didn't want to stand on the same level as Baron Ezra.

I believe they were once friends, but Romeo grew above Ezra. He grew prideful and treated his friend harshly, and now that his friend is about to get to his level again, he wants to end him," the man explained.

"Oh, I see. Well then, thank you for the information; you have proved your worth. Sadly enough, I am slightly pissed, so your life is forfeited. Fang, you can have him as dinner," Silva said as he walked away.

The man stared at Silva's back, and despair filled his heart.

"I told you what I knew, you are supposed to release me!" the man shouted.

Silva paused and looked back with a smile. "Where in our discussion did I say I'll let go of you?" Silva asked, flashing his smile and walking away.

The man looked in despair as Silva walked away. Fang bit into his hands and dragged him away, his yells reaching the ears of Silva.

Silva got back to camp and saw Fay standing and looking around. When she saw him, she walked up to him.

He could sense some apprehension in her steps, but he didn't pay that any attention.

"What is the matter, Lady Fay? You should be getting your rest now; tomorrow will be a busy day for you," Silva said.

"I can't sleep, so I wanted to practice my magic for a bit. I needed a sparring partner, and you are the strongest here," she said.

"Lady Fay, I seriously think you should get some rest. We can practice another time; I'll be happy to practice with you as well," Silva said.

"No, I want to start now. I've asked my father for permission, and he said I can ask you," she said.

"Sigh, fine, Lady Fay, then let's go a bit deeper into the forest; the noise would disturb the others," Silva said and led them into the forest.

Some minutes before Silva had returned from where Fang took him.

Outside the tent of the baron, the baron's son had fallen asleep. The baron stood with his daughter Fay; he stood and looked at the moon before speaking.

"What do you think about Silva?" he asked.

"I don't know. He is strong from what I saw, his strength astonished me. His brutality was crazy; it weakened my knees completely.

Aside from that, I don't know anymore," Fay replied honestly.

"I see, but you don't hate him, then there is a chance. You see, that boy has so much prospect for the future; he will for sure go far in life.

I want you to get closer to him, as close as possible. You should even become his lover. I have a feeling that after here, you may never get the chance to get close to him.

So I need you to be smart. Unlike your brother, you think things through and know what is good for the family," the baron said.

"I understand what you are saying, father, but have you thought about if he has someone he likes?" Fay said.

"Haha, Fay, our kingdom, under the law of the goddess Ophelia, allows a man more than one wife, and even more for barons, as long as all the women accept and the husband possesses the resources to take care of them.

In fact, that law can also be applied the other way around, with a single woman and many men, as long as they agree--though that has scarcely happened."
