SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

The boys were taken by surprise by the tendrils. They had come to know Silva as a sword fighter, and although they knew he had magic, they were not expecting him to start with such a spell. Before they could react, the tendrils latched onto them, throwing all of them at the walls. They slammed into the walls with so much force that they cracked.

"Sigh, fighting you all with even ten percent will kill you too easily. I want to feel some thrill from this fight, so I'll take it easy, just to have fun," Silva said to them.

"Don't insult us!" The leader got up and charged at Silva with his sword. The sword began releasing a cold energy; it seemed his element was ice. He got close to Silva and slashed for the head, but Silva took one step back and dodged the attack.

The blade passed by one inch, and Silva stepped in and headbutted the boy. The boy's head swung back with full force, and Silva followed with a punch that lifted the boy into the air. He then used his dark tendril to grab the boy, pulled him down, and spun, sending a kick to the boy's face.

The boy coughed out a huge amount of blood as his body shot through the air, rolling on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

The other four saw what happened to their leader. Three of them charged at Silva, while one went to heal the boy. The mage who was charging at Silva shot a fireball, which suddenly exploded when it neared Silva, blocking his view.

The two swordsmen flanked from each side, hidden by the flame. One went for the head, the other for the stomach. Silva smirked. He found their tactic nice, but it was far from enough. He dodged the one aimed at his neck by bending backward.

He shifted to the side as he bent, allowing him to dodge the strike to his abdomen. Using his superior physique, he recovered from the bend immediately after the swords missed him. find more stories on mv|lempyr

He stood up straight and grabbed both their hands, pulling them close to each other and smashing their faces together. The mage tried to attack quickly, but Silva threw both of his teammates at him. They collided with the mage just as the fireball formed, causing an explosion that sent them flying with burn wounds.

At this point, everyone watching knew Silva was going to win. They had underestimated him, and those who bet against him were weeping over how many points they would lose.

But what worried them more was the pain those five boys would endure. Silva had yet to go serious on them, yet he was dominating.

The leader had received a healing potion from his friend, so he was able to stand again. He pointed his sword at Silva with conviction.

Silva watched him and sighed, then took out his own sword. "I'll honor you and fight you with a sword as well. But I'll warn you now, the blade of my sword leaks a very potent poison, so if you get cut, the pain you'll feel will be overwhelming." Silva said.

The boy said nothing in response. He simply charged at Silva, going for a stab. Ice formed on his sword, quickly increasing the length to hit Silva, but Silva leaped back just enough to dodge the strike.

Silva then went in for a slash, shattering the ice on the sword and returning it to normal. He ran at the boy full speed, reaching him in a second before the boy could even react.

When the boy finally reacted, he tried to block, but he was too late as Silva stabbed his arm. The poison spread faster than the boy had expected, and he was suddenly hit with a dreadful amount of pain. He fell to his knees, screaming in agony.

The last mage saw this and wanted to help his leader, but Silva was standing right there. He had to do something.

"Earth Golem!" he called out and stabbed his staff into the ground. An earth golem started forming, but Silva didn't let it. He charged at it and slashed through the golem before it fully formed, then sent a kick into the mage's chest, shattering some ribs.

The mage went flying, landing roughly. The whole fight was in Silva's favor at this point, but he had yet to knock anyone out. All five of them were still conscious, but in heavy pain. The fight would not end until someone was knocked out.

Silva knew this, as he was the one who set that rule. He used the dark tendrils to pick all of them up by their necks, choking them until they passed out. Then he dropped them and walked out of the arena.

After Silva left, the arena was quiet for a while. Even when medical practitioners came to take the boys, the audience remained silent. Finally, those who supported Silva burst into cheers, the majority of them being girls, which pissed the guys off more but what could they do?

Silva had just proven he was a terror. No one would want to pick a fight with him. He didn't even need the Duke's backing; his personal strength was enough to make him a feared entity in the academy.

The audience slowly left the arena, most of them discussing the duel.

Silva, on the other hand, was getting happy outside in one corner because a notification came after he finished the fight, and it was a crazy good one.
