SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

"Daddy?" Leah and Aaron asked at the same time.

"Don\'t think about it too much; I\'ll explain it later," Silva said as he carried Elsa toward the throne and sat there.

But Leah and Aaron could not even move; they stayed put because of the beings they saw here—the Guardians, the summons, and Dawn were all here, even Aris.

Even though they all hid their presence, Leah and Aaron could still feel their mighty presence.

"Silva, where are we?" Aaron mustered the courage to ask.

"You will address him as Master Silva," Drake said in a calm tone, but Aaron felt like his guts would spill from the pressure.

"Drake, don\'t worry, they are going to become our comrades after today," Silva said and then turned his attention to them.

"This place is my labyrinth, my domain. It was left by the several dark dragons that have lived here before.

Elsa is the last of the dark dragons—well, before I came around. She inherited the labyrinth, and when I arrived, she handed it to me as the keeper, carrying the legacy of the first dark dragon.

There is more that I\'ll have to tell you about myself and my past, and I will tell you all that. But for now, I have to finish the case of those that tried to manipulate us all."

As Silva said that, the doors of the room opened, and some snake women and Minotaurs dragged people into the labyrinth.

The people were battered, covered in blood, and devoid of any spirit.

When Leah and Aaron saw who they were, they froze in shock. The Duke, Matilda, the president, Oliver, and the prince.

Why did Silva have all of them here? These were people of status and power. But looking around, they could understand—Silva could do whatever he wanted in this kingdom.

They could easily tell that all the people standing here with him were national-level threats. If Silva went on a rampage, this kingdom would fall.

"It\'s nice to see all of you here; it seems Aris and Lily have done quite a number on all of you. But what can I say, you all deserved everything that you got.

But I am not heartless. I\'ll offer all of you a chance at salvation. I will state your crime, and you will have two choices: either be killed here, or get up and fight me. I\'ll let you believe you can fight, of course.

If you manage to land one hit, all will be forgiven. But I do not plan to hold back even in the slightest," Silva said, and he stood from his throne and walked toward them.

"I will explain your crimes from smallest to biggest, starting with my dear brother Oliver. You let a slithering serpent into your mind, and he filled you with lies."

Silva lifted Oliver\'s battered head and looked into his eyes coldly.

"You are really stupid. You thought I wanted to fight for the family name with you? Do I look like I need that name? I have all I could want, and this little kingdom is nothing to me.

There is only one reason I still stay here. But all that aside, brother, let us have our fight," Silva said and moved aside. Lily came and healed Oliver until he was in tip-top shape.

"Oliver, now you will fight for your chance to live," Silva said.

"Why do this? You are way stronger than me; you have proven that to me," Oliver said, not wanting to attack.

"Oh, it\'s for fun. You see, I believe that you should all go down in battle, so show me what you\'ve got. And do not think of giving up," Silva said. He was about to move, but then his mind spoke to him.

While he had been busy doing whatever he was doing, they cooked up a plan that Grey felt was the right plan for the situation, and when they told Silva the plan, a smile formed on his face.

"Aris, Lily, did you gather all the dirty information on the prince?" Silva asked.

"Yes, we did," they replied.

"Great, great, great. The only person I really want to kill here is Terron, my father, and I have found the method I can use to kill him as well as make all their lives miserable.

So here is the plan. The well-known Duke, known for his good works and honesty, finds the dirty little secrets of the prince.

He discovers that the prince has been involved in all sorts of evil and illegal activities, and so the Duke makes up his mind to expose the prince.

But the prince finds out, and he can\'t really kill the Duke since the Duke was very powerful and he couldn\'t defeat him.

So the prince meets with the son, Oliver. He understands that Oliver is trying to become the new family head at all costs.

So the prince gives the young Oliver an offer he can\'t refuse: to help him find his father\'s weakness and kill the father. After that, the prince would make sure he became the family head.

Now Oliver is unsure as to how to do this, but the prince has made plans for this. He contacts the council president, who, after some research, I discovered was mentored by the prince some time ago.

So now the prince asks the president to help Oliver, and so the plan came into place. They plotted to kill Terron, they cornered him and sealed his magic.

And in that place, they murdered Terron. But Matilda saw this, and she became the witness who reported the case to the king.

And so, that is the end of my plan. The only safe person is Matilda—I plan to use her before killing her. Now, if there is anyone that has something against it, speak up," Silva finished.
