SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Now that everything was handled, Elsa started explaining how the Labyrinth worked.

"The Labyrinth is one massive living construct, and it is now connected to you father.

I don't know how, but the Labyrinth is self-sufficient, it uses the life force and bodies of all the beings that died in the Labyrinth," Elsa said.

"So what you're saying is that it consumes the beings that die to sustain itself, and then the extra humans that die here will be consumed so that the Labyrinth will grow," Silva said.

"That's basically all there is to it," Elsa replied.

"Then what about the time when it was hidden, the period when the Labyrinth was not open for people to enter?" Silva asked.

"It self-sustained, with my help, that is. Once every few days I release my aura, and the magic particles spread through the Labyrinth, creating more monsters.

So the number of monsters is always up. The Labyrinth consumes the older monsters whenever I release my aura, paving the way for the younger ones to take control.

That has been the path followed for all these years. But now that the Labyrinth is open, I don't need to do it, because the humans that die here are enough resources to sustain the Labyrinth and create new monsters," she explained.

"I understand, but I have one question. Aside from being in charge of all the monsters, what other gains do you have as the owner of the Labyrinth?" Silva asked.

"Hehe, that's simple. The Labyrinth accumulates all the energy it absorbs, and then once a month, it uses it for what is needed, and also gives one percent of the energy to the owner, basically increasing the strength of the owner.

I know that one percent seems very low, but when you look at the size of this Labyrinth with over fifty floors, the energy it gathers is not little.

So one percent is still a massive amount," Elsa said.

Silva didn't feel bad about the one percent, because for him it would be ten percent due to his ten times buff.

He could barely hold in his smile; he tried his best to control his emotions.

"So what task do I have now that I am the leader? Is there anything special for me to do?" Silva asked.

"No need to worry about that, Father. I'll be the one to handle it for you. I understand that you have to get stronger and do certain things, so I wouldn't want you to be distracted.

The only reason I handed over the Labyrinth was because it was to be yours, but I have no issues continuing the work for a while," Elsa said.

Silva subconsciously patted her head when she said that. He felt relieved because he really needed to train more.

But when he looked at the face of Elsa, she had a triumphant smile on her face. Silva didn't understand why, but he felt like he was played again.

"But before anything else, Father, you need to know the main monsters that live in the Labyrinth. The Wyvern you fought is one of the weaker ones, actually," Elsa said.

"What the hell? Weaker?" Silva asked in shock. He couldn't believe that this Labyrinth would have monsters stronger than the Wyvern.

A bright light shone in the Labyrinth, and then seven figures appeared, all bowing their heads. There were six of them plus the Wyvern, making seven.

These were all the guardians of the Labyrinth, the strongest of the monsters in the maze, but calling them monsters didn't seem proper, as some looked humanoid and very intelligent.

From the left was a half-spider, half-human. She had pretty white hair, and her upper human body was bare, revealing her ample chest.

She had a seductive glint in her eyes, something that would make men fall for her even if she was a spider. It took a good amount of mental fortitude for Silva to resist.

"My Lord, my name is Selax, an Arachnid and the fourth Guardian," she spoke and bowed once again.

Her voice was completely sensual, sending shivers up Silva's spine, but he tried not to let it show.

"Nice to meet you, Guardian Selax, and thank you for having me as your master," Silva said.

"It is my pleasure," she responded.

"If you will allow me, may I see your strength?" Silva asked.

"Most definitely, my Lord," she agreed readily.

Silva activated his dragon eyes on her.

Guardian Arachnid, Selax

Level 40 (Evolved)

**Strength:** 40,000

**Defense:** 45,000

**Speed:** 50,000

**Agility:** 55,000

**Intelligence:** 50,000

There was only one thing on Silva's mind when he saw this: if this was the guardian he had fought, he would have most definitely lost the battle.

And according to her, she was only number four, which meant there were three stronger than her. Silva became eager to see their strength.

"You are pretty strong. I feel if you were the one I fought, I would have never won," Silva said to Selax.

"Your praises are wasted on me," she responded and let out a giggle that made Silva's body heat up.

'If I want to keep my sanity and body, I better keep my distance from Selax,' Silva made a mental note. If he wasn't careful, he might find himself banging this arachnid.

The next guardian was the Minotaur. He stood at over ten feet tall with a massive axe on his back.

"What's your name?" Silva asked.

"My name is Zack, my Lord, the sixth guardian here," Zack introduced himself.

Silva went through the same procedure and checked Zack's stats.

Guardian Minotaur, Zack

Level 25 (Evolved)

**Strength:** 30,000

**Defense:** 30,000

**Speed:** 25,000

**Agility:** 20,000

**Intelligence:** 20,000

Zack seemed to be a monster focused on strength and defense, while his speed and agility fell short of the others.

The next person was one that didn't sit well with Silva. It was a small girl, around ten years old, with fairy wings on her back.

She looked the smallest, but Silva felt a terrible aura coming from her. He didn't know why, but he was about to find out.
