SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 217: Jade out

Drake and all the boys arrived at Silva's room, and he let them in. It was Zack, Kratos, Mike, Quin, Drake, Fang, Gallan, and Maru, who had not been around much.

Maru had been actively training soldiers that would protect the kingdom, so he was only around when summoned.

With all the boys inside his gigantic room, Silva started explaining why he called them.

He told them about the kiss, how it happened, and then asked for their input and advice on what to do next.

But as soon as Drake heard what happened, he asked a question.

"Master, was Lady Elsa with you when this happened?" Drake asked.

"Yes, she saw all of it and then later left. She said something about telling, but my mind was too out of sorts to—oh, my fucking hell." Silva stopped mid-sentence as he realized Elsa had gone to tell the others.

"Meg, we have to protect Meg, or she will die," Scary and Drake said at the same time.

"Maru, Zack, find Meg and protect her with your life from the girls. Come up with a way to keep her safe.

They will not just go after her; they will come to this room as well. We that are gathered here will handle them," Silva said.

Maru and Zack immediately left the room after Silva deactivated the formations.

"I doubt that will be enough protection, brother," Quin said.

"Indeed, Master Silva, your brother is right. Lily and Aris are there as well, and also the young lady Amber. They will defeat Zack and Maru easily," Drake said.

"Their full force will not go after them. Zack and Maru would be the best to protect her," Silva said. He activated all the formations and waited for the inevitable.

All because of a kiss, he was now out here preparing for some sort of small-scale war.

Maru and Zack made it to where Meg was in their room, preparing to leave that day. Luckily, she was still alive.

They barged in without warning and spoke. "Meg, Silva has requested for you to see him one last time before you go," Maru said.

Meg thought it would probably be about what she did today, and she was right, but not in the way she expected.

"I'll be back, guys," she said and got up.

"Yeah, whatever," the guys replied. They were tired of this whole operation and could not wait to leave. They had found nothing, and the whole thing had been a massive waste of time.

When Meg left with Maru and Zack, Zack lifted her onto his shoulder. She tried to resist but couldn't.

"Miss Meg, you kissed Master Silva, right? Well, that is an issue because there will be some beautiful ladies coming for you. After all, that was Silva's first kiss.

It had been a struggle as to who would get it, but then you came out of nowhere and stole it. War can't begin to describe what will happen here. Your life is seriously on the line," Maru explained.

When Meg heard that, she complied. She didn't think the ladies here would go to that extreme, but there was no harm in being cautious.

As they walked a short distance from the room into a large hallway, Maru and Zack saw Jade, Amber, and Dawn standing there.

Maru and Zack immediately came to a halt and tried to keep calm.

"Maru, Zack, what are you both doing?" Jade asked.

"Well, Master sent us on an errand, so we are carrying it out," Zack said.

"I do hope that this errand has nothing to do with the girl on your shoulder because I have something to discuss with her," Jade said.

"Sorry, Jade, but she is the focal point of our errand. We have to get her to where Master said, so please, if you would be kind enough to let us pass," Zack tried to talk his way through, though he was sure it wouldn't work.

"Sorry, Zack, but that girl must come with me," Jade said and then suddenly vanished. Zack and Maru's eyes darted around like crazy.

Zack noticed the shadow, and he moved immediately, taking out his axe. He leaped in front of Maru and blocked the attack.

Jade used her tail at full power to attack Maru, but Zack intercepted it. The power of the blow was so strong that Zack slammed into a wall but was unharmed.

Maru realized this was a serious fight, and he wouldn't get out if he kept carrying the girl, so he dropped her.

"Run, run as fast as you can. I'll find you when we are done here," Maru said.

Meg could already see her life was on the line and that she would die if she stayed, so she ran immediately.

Dawn and Amber didn't want to let her go; they immediately charged after her. Maru moved to stop them, but he saw a bright light and then shining jade scales shooting toward him.

Maru took out his great one-edged sword and blocked the scales, but by the time he blocked them all, the girls had vanished, leaving only Jade against the two of them.

"I can't believe you would protect that filthy hero who decided to steal the Master's kiss. She deserves death," Jade said.

"Jade, take a breather. Master Silva was bound to lose his first kiss one day, and she was just the lucky one.

Killing her won't erase the fact that she was his first kiss," Zack tried to reason with her, but it only seemed to make her angrier. She looked furious.

"Jade, you might be one of the strongest, but against the two of us, your chances will be slim," Maru stated.

"You think so?" Jade asked and vanished again. Maru blocked at the last moment as her powerful tail slammed against his sword, pushing him back, but he stopped it.

From his left, Zack came out to seize the opportunity. He went for a horizontal slash, but Jade moved again. Even with her massive body, she was too fast.
