SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

The smoke that was shot into the air signaled to the people of the town that they had lost the fight and should retreat.

But Jade and Selax were not going to allow that to happen. With their speed, they reached the town in a few seconds, before the evacuation could even start.

"Jade, I'll handle this," Selax said before entering the town. The guards that remained immediately charged at her.

She pointed her finger at them and made a bang sound with her mouth. A bright light, made purely of mana, shot from her finger.

The light consumed all of them, reducing them to nothing. After she finished, she turned away and left the town.

For now, they had finished with the town. All that was left was the Baron, and she would allow the troops to capture him.

As for the civilians here, they would be held in custody for the time being.

After capturing the Baron, they decided to leave about twenty goblins and five Minotaurs to handle the situation and secure the prisoners of war.

The remaining troops immediately moved toward Blacklight.

Luckily, the Baron had sent word to Blacklight that a powerful troop was headed their way before he was captured.

But the government of Blacklight was currently under the control of Silva's mother and Matilda, two people now against the kingdom, willingly or not.

So Matilda was the one who gave the order to march out. She asked that they use all the military force in the city to fight against them, bringing up to three thousand soldiers.

They all lined up outside the city and were ready for war, but they weren't expecting what happened next. A massive formation appeared in the sky.

It began spinning at a crazy rate, and from the formation, massive bolts of lightning started firing into the army.

The blasts could send twenty to fifty men flying and fired in very fast succession. The army immediately fell into chaos. The captains tried to control the situation, but more and more men were dying each second.

And from the forest, Silva's army charged out at full force. This time, Drake and Silva led the front line, while Jade and Selax controlled the lightning formation from the forest.

Silva wasted no time. His wings emerged, and he took to the air. They didn't have to worry about the lightning, as Jade and Selax were very skilled at controlling it, ensuring they wouldn't get hit.

From above, Silva slashed out with his sword, and a massive flame arc fired out. The heat of the flame arc was so intense that it began burning people immediately after it was released, and by the time it was halfway there, many had already died from the heat.

When the flame arc hit the ground, it caused more devastation than the lightning formation, wiping out over three hundred people in one strike.

This was the difference between Silva and an ordinary human; it was incomprehensible. He was like a god to them, and they had angered a god.

After his attack, Drake moved to attack as well. He formed a blood sword and then vanished. He didn't truly vanish; he was just running, but his speed was far above what any human could see.

Not to mention that, now that Silva had made him his summon, he was on another level, beyond their comprehension.

As he vanished, blood began to spatter all around, and by the time he stopped, over three hundred soldiers had died as well.

With this, the force that had come to meet them was already close to being halfway exterminated. So Silva left the rest to Drake and the troops while he flew toward the academy to meet Matilda. He wanted to have a final talk with her, one that would determine if she would serve him or if she would die.

As he flew toward the academy, the system came online.

[Here are the details of your sword]

Inside the throne room of a majestic palace, the king sat upon his throne, speaking to his council on a certain matter.

Suddenly, a knight barged into the throne room. Everyone was shocked at such rudeness, but they said nothing, as there had to be a very good reason for the knight to do so.

The king was a man past middle age, with a face full of pride and the aura of a true ruler. He was fit for his part; even the way he reacted to the knight was calm and regal.

"My king, forgive my interruption," the knight said, bowing to the ground.

"Speak what made you barge into the throne room, and we will know if you are worth forgiving," the king said.

"Your highness, it is war. A mighty troop of beasts and monsters is coming against the kingdom. With only five hundred men, they destroyed a town, and now they are taking down Blacklight.

They have almost succeeded, and the entire army of Blacklight is unable to do anything against them. It is a one-sided massacre," the knight reported.

When they all heard this, everyone became tense, even the king.

"Are the followers of demons making a move? Could it be that they have information we don't? There should be equal numbers of demon kings and heroes this generation.

What would make them start attacking, and why would they begin with our little kingdom? Do they want to take out the weaker kingdoms first?" the king asked several questions at once.

"My king, I think it would be best if we find a way to send a message to the empire or holy kingdom about this situation.

If the followers of demons are making a move, we must not take it lightly," one of the council members said.

Another member got up and spoke, "Could it be that this is just a beast wave? We shouldn't say it's the followers of the demons just yet.
