SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 45: Beasts, and the mystery man

Silva stayed in bed for a full day after returning from the city; he wanted to regain his strength as well as understand his new skill.

The ten minds that he had were all ten times as intelligent as his original, and so he had to find a way to use this.

He gave charge of his body and all its functions to three minds; they would handle his movements and every body function.

He gave his thinking and senses to another three; they would take care of his ideas and observation.

Another three would handle his magic; whatever had to do with magic would be in their hands.

And finally, the last one was given a special job. He was in charge of overseeing the jobs of the other minds and ensuring that they produced good results.

He was tagged Mind 1, while the original mind was called OG mind.

OG mind just had to be there, getting information from the other minds; his decision was the final and greatest.

Knock knock.

"Silva, it's me, Lia." Silva heard Lia's voice; he hadn't seen her since he got back. He didn't really ask about her, since he knew she was fine.

He got up from the bed, stretched his body a bit, and then went to the door. Immediately he unlocked it, she pushed open the door and came into his room.

"I became an adventurer, brother, at C rank," she said happily, showing him her identity card with a bright smile.

Silva took a look at it. "Congratulations, but you never told me that you wanted to be an adventurer. Also, you are going to the academy next year; was there a need?" he asked.

She pouted her lips and hit his chest, but not strong enough to cause any pain.

"You are so dense sometimes. I became an adventurer because I wanted to go adventuring with you," she said.

"Alright, I guess I haven't really had time to be with you. I was thinking of heading out today, so we should form a party and go to the labyrinth.

It will also be a good opportunity for you to test out all that you have been learning for years now," Silva said.

She agreed and decided to wait for him outside while he got changed. He wore simple light armor, and that was all. He got outside, and the two of them headed out.

But as soon as they opened the door, they saw someone running towards their house.

"Sir Silva," the man called out, almost tripping and falling.

"A monster horde! There is a pack of over a hundred wolves headed towards the town. The Viscount has asked that all mercenaries and adventurers help out. He specifically told me to come and get you," the man said.

Silva looked at Lia. "Take care of Mum and Dad. We will go to the labyrinth another day." He dashed off at an inhuman speed, the ground cracking from his burst.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him and got to the gates in less than five minutes. He saw the guards and adventurers lined up in formation, waiting for the horde.

The horde was just as they said, filled with wolves, up to a hundred. Silva thought this would be easy, seeing their numbers, but Fang contacted him.

"Master, there are over five hundred beasts headed for your town, and most are over level fifty. Several are up to level seventy and above."

"This forest doesn't have this many. How come?" Silva asked.

"It's the man from before, the one that caused Mike's abomination to be complete during that time at the labyrinth. He is riding a large beast that is about level one hundred if I am not wrong," Fang said.

"Alright, then keep watch and help me as much as you can in the forest. When I have the opportunity, I'll send my clones as backup, or I'll come myself," Silva said.

That man—he wanted to meet him, find out who he was and what he wanted here.

This was a good opportunity to finally get to the man, but he would have to fight his way through.

The wolves finally got into range and the battle started—the explosion of magic, the crushing of skulls, and the slashing of swords; the sounds filled the air.

Silva didn't move yet. He took out his sword and got ready. He wanted to test out his strength as of now. He closed his eyes and let the intelligence squad make up a plan in his head.

In less than a second, they did and sent the information to all the minds, and with the final okay from Mind 1 and OG mind, Silva shot like a bullet.

A wolf leaped into the air to bite Silva. He sidestepped, dodging the wolf by only an inch in the most effective way.

He slashed up and cut the wolf into two halves.

[You have killed a wind wolf, 100EXP 50SP]x10

The notification came through, but immediately the intelligence squad turned off all notifications. Their calculations decided that Silva would be slightly distracted by the notifications.

As soon as he finished that wolf, he took a step forward and stabbed the head of an incoming wolf, penetrating the skull.

He pulled his sword back and grabbed the wolf by the throat. He used the body to slam a wolf that was coming from behind him.

With all his minds working, Silva could sense 360 degrees around his body for as much as half a kilometer.

There was no way any beasts would sneak up on him.

He stabbed the wolf that he hit and dropped the body of the wolf he held.

Three wolves leaped at him at the same time, but Silva vanished and reappeared in the air above them, cleanly decapitating all of them.

He landed on the ground and looked at the battlefield. The battle was raging; lives were getting lost on both sides.

Silva could salvage this situation and take care of just about a hundred wolves. In his eyes, calling all adventurers and guards was overkill.

But he still decided not to do too much. He didn't know what power that person had. If he wasted his energy here, he may not be able to stop the real threat.
