SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Now that Silva was pissed and had decided to start the war early, the only two things he had to do were to talk to Fay.

So he returned to the academy and snuck into Fay's room. He took her and then went ahead to her brother's room.

He kidnapped both of them and left the academy that night, taking them to their house in Robert, where their father was already waiting since Silva had gone to him ahead of time and told him to wait.

When Fay and her brother woke up, they were shocked to find themselves inside their father's office.

But before they could ask what was happening, Silva began explaining. He told them the whole thing, keeping only the important parts secret.

"The reason I have told you all this is because you three have an important place in my life, most especially Fay.

I'd like for you to leave and join my side now, and I can promise that Robert will be safe, and I will not harm it.

The people of Robert have been my family, and I have grown to know them. So, I'd like them to be a part of us.

I don't know how you'll pass the news to the entire town, but please do. I trust you, Viscount. You know I would not say what I am incapable of doing.

So when I say I am taking down the kingdom, I seriously mean it. I'll be burning everything to the ground; the decision to join me belongs to you.

I'll leave you to discuss, but for now, I'll be taking my leave because, at daybreak, the war begins," Silva said and then created a portal. Fay stood up and held his hand.

"Allow me to come with you; my father and brother will deal with the planning," she said.

Silva nodded and allowed her to follow him back to the labyrinth.

When he stepped in, the guardians Dawn, Fang, Gallan, and Aris were there. They all got on one knee to greet Silva.

"Fay, the rest of the group is here. I informed them about changes in plans and brought them here. You'll be with them for a bit.

"Elsa, take Fay to meet the others," Silva said. Elsa nodded, took Fay's hand, and led her out of the place.

When she was gone, Silva began speaking.

"Today, we will be moving into the kingdom at the break of dawn. Our march will be from here to Blacklight first.

I'd like all of you to gather the citizens of the labyrinth with you as troops. We will crush any smaller towns on the way to Blacklight.

When we destroy Blacklight, we will be setting base in the academy as the new rulers, and from there, we will begin a full-powered assault.

Use whatever you need from the storage; ready your weapons. We will show no mercy," Silva said.

"Master Silva, are you going to send a message to them, to tell them about the war? It's common policy, or do you wish to eradicate them all before they know what hit them?" Drake asked.

"I don't really care, but send it to them. They'll take it as a joke either way until we move.

According to Lily's report, we have over three thousand beasts well over level seventy. They are our force. Delegate them amongst yourselves; we leave this morning," Silva said and walked away.

He headed for the room where his family, friends, and everyone was gathered, the same room he had asked Elsa to take Fay to.

When he walked in, the whole place became quiet. They all looked at Silva, as though waiting for him to say something.

"The war will start tomorrow, and before you say anything, none of you can help. You will all stay in the labyrinth, away from the war.

I don't care if you feel that you are strong or that you can help; you aren't allowed to," Silva said and left the room without saying anything else.

"He seems different," Aaron said.

"It's simple. He is about to take thousands of lives in a war. He knows there is no way his parents would want him to do such, so he has to keep a cold demeanor to avoid wavering," Leah explained.

"What she said is true. Honestly, seeing this side of Silva makes me sad as his mother," Sarah said as she looked down.

"There are things one must do in life, no matter what. His destiny is to be a demon king. There's no way the humans will accept him.

And so there must be fights and wars. Also, the pride of a dragon exists in Silva, and his friend was hurt by the kingdom. No dragon would sit still after his person was hurt," Leah spoke. Though no one said it, they all agreed with her.

"So what about you, Leah? You have your parents, and you are a hero candidate. What will you do?" Aaron asked.

"My parents are out of the question. I have none. I went to my home and disowned them. As for being a hero, I'm going to do the same as Silva, live for myself.

I'll no longer carry the banner for anyone. I prefer to walk with Silva because he is joining no sides but rather building his own.

So I'll be the hero who stays with a demon, fighting against heroes and demon kings," Leah said.

"Leah, you don't have to worry. We will be here with you and Silva to fight them all off. After all, we have all deserted humanity.

Since we chose to follow Silva, we are no longer part of humanity, and we can't run to other races because we aren't one of them. The only place that is for us is here, so let's help Silva build the greatest place in the world," Lia spoke enthusiastically.

Silva had never left; he was just outside the door and had heard everything. He let out a deep sigh of relief after hearing all they said. He walked away from there with a smile to go and inquire about the slaves they saved that night.
