SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 177: The True power of six wings

The weeping angel planted its feet in the ground as it beat the retreat. It spun its spear so fast it sounded like a whip and slashed for Silva's head. Silva ducked low and dodged. The joker behind threw out a card that summoned an explosive crystal that flew towards the angel.

The angel didn't know what the crystal was. He quickly drew his spear back and stabbed the crystal, and it exploded immediately, sending the angel flying. Silva and the clone with the axe charged from the right and the left to flank the angel, while the dragon flew from above to cover the top.

The angel understood the plan and knew what would happen if he didn't move out of the way. He spun around mid-air and stabbed his spear into the ground, blasting some strange energy through the tip.

The force blasted him forward with more speed, fast enough to put some distance between them so that he could turn, land, and activate a swift counter. He slashed up with full force, and the ground exploded due to the strange energy.

Silva became curious as to what energy this angel was using. It didn't feel like mana, and it felt more potent than mana, but now was not the time to be worried about that. He leaped into the air, same with the other clones, to escape the attack.

But the angel was not done. It stabbed into the ground and caused a sonic explosion that spread like a dome. Silva and the clones had to think fast, and his joker clone pulled a shield card that covered all of them, but even with that, they were still blasted in all directions.

Silva managed to land on his feet, and so did the clones. They all took their stances immediately. So far, this was the hardest fight that Silva had been in—the first fight where he had to think deeply about his every move. His minds were all working to come up with solutions as they fought.

"It seems there is no way I will be able to win this if I don't go all out. This will be the first time," Silva said. "Let's start with the gates of hell!" Immediately after he said that, he slashed his arm, and so did all the clones.

The blood poured from them and seeped into the ground, and then the angel felt a sinister vibe. When it turned around, it saw a large gate. Because of Silva's evolution, the gates of hell had advanced as well. The gate now stood at twenty feet tall, oozing dark energy.

The gates opened and immediately began pulling the angel in, but the angel fought against it with all that it had, refusing to fall into the gates.

"Make sure that it falls into the gate!" Silva yelled, and all four of them charged at the angel. They began releasing attack after attack. The angel blocked and parried their attacks, but it was losing focus, and the pull of the gate was now dragging him.

"Keep pushing," Silva yelled and slashed with a massive fire arc. The angel blocked it but was tipped off balance, and the pull of the gate had a final hold on him, pulling him into the gate. The gates shut after that.

But the gates didn't disappear, which meant the angel was still alive inside. Silva expected that would be the case and that the angel would break out of the gates, but it would receive a tangible amount of damage, and that was what Silva wanted.

Silva stood back while the three clones stood upfront. He was about to ready an attack for the angel when it came out. He shut his eyes tight and began using the special skill of the sword. Enforcing his will, he slowly created what seemed like a domain around them and the gate.

His sword lit on fire. The purple flames this time were different; they held onto the sword tightly and didn't spread out from it. He kept his eyes closed as he waited for the angel, and it finally happened.

The gates burst open, and the angel slowly walked out, but it was riddled with severe injuries all around and looked close to death. Yet the aura that the angel gave off at this time was something else—it was on a new level.

The angel looked up, its eyes glowing with rage, and it vanished in an instant. A second later, it appeared near the dragon. Faster than the dragon could follow, the angel drove a spear right through the head of the dragon, exploding the dragon's head.

Silva, who still had his eyes closed, felt the whiplash from the death of his clone, but he kept his concentration. Silva was shocked at the current strength of the angel. It seemed the angel had not gone all out all this time.

The angel had most likely seen Silva as something it could crush easily, but the opposite happened. Now the angel was going all out like it was crazy.

The angel immediately charged for the clone with the axe, but the joker intercepted and pulled a card. Before the joker could activate the card, the angel was already behind him. It stabbed the joker through the heart from the back.

The last clone took this opportunity to make a move, but the angel was already in front of him. The angel decapitated the clone without pause.

Finally, Silva opened his eyes. He smiled and spoke to the angel. "You should have shown your true strength from the get-go. Maybe then you would have stood a chance at winning. Honestly, I'm shocked because each one of the clones had a base strength ten times mine, yet you killed them with such ease.

"Sadly, you should have come for me—the original—first," Silva said and moved his sword. That movement alone made the space inside the domain he created start twisting and rumbling. The angel could tell that if Silva finished his attack, it would die. It immediately shot toward Silva.

But the will enforced by Silva made it impossible for the angel to reach him.

"Enforcing my will to destroy!" Silva yelled and slashed his sword, and everything went silent, a light as bright as the sun shined.
