SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 25: Abyss flames



The Shaman panicked and called back all the goblins, whether they were fighting or not. The goblins all had to run towards the Shaman, not caring if they were getting cut down by the party.

"You really think your army can stop me? Let me show you how stupid you are," Silva said with a grin, and then he used flash step.

The Shaman thought that he had disappeared. Silva stopped right behind the Shaman and slowly stabbed his sword through the back, piercing the heart.

"I thought you would put up a good fight. You were pathetic," Silva whispered into his ears. He didn't stop there; he activated consume.

He left off the empty shell that was the Shaman's body. Now that the Shaman was dead, all the goblins started acting individually, making it a bit easier for the party to take them down.

After dealing with the goblins, there were a ton of crystals on the ground, including the one the Shaman was holding.

Silva picked the crystal up from the ground.

[Control Crystal: Control twenty beings of lesser power. This crystal's effect is multiplied by 10.]

His legacy made it possible for him to control two hundred, rather than twenty.

Now that they were done, they headed deeper and came to the next large hole.

"We shouldn't enter yet; I've made an observation and I want to share it," Silva said.

All of them sat down to hear what he had to say.

"When we entered this labyrinth, we met with a lot of goblins, and that seemed normal. But when we dropped down to the second floor, things changed—we suddenly met with a Chimera.

The Chimera was not supposed to be there based on common knowledge. Its strength is way too high.

You would expect that immediately after the first floor, maybe we would get to a floor that had a lot of hobgoblins.

We would normally expect a slight increase in strength, not a Chimera.

And now, the third floor also has things just as strong and in more numbers. It seems the concept of strength changes radically after every floor in this labyrinth.

So, I'm going to assume that we will see something far stronger if we enter the next floor. Also, there is the fact that in this labyrinth, all paths lead to the hole, like it wants people to go down.

There is no real reason behind the information I am sharing; I just want everyone to make sure they keep an eye out. The unexpected can happen here."

The group started being more cautious because if Silva was telling them it was dangerous, then for sure it had to be dangerous.

If only they had known that the lower floor was not just dangerous; it was something else...

As soon as they landed on the fourth floor, as they went deeper and reached a certain level, Silva felt the energy he hadn't been feeling for a while get stronger, and then suddenly his senses tingled. But before he could even make a move, a wall rose through the ground and separated them into two teams.

Silva, Mike, and Roxy were on one side, and the others were on the other side. Silva threw a punch to try and blast the wall, but the wall absorbed the hit and spread it through the entire labyrinth.

Because it spread out, it didn't do anything to the wall. He tried again, pouring every ounce of strength, but the same thing happened.

He would have kept trying if the wall was simply strong, but this one was absorbing all his attacks and spreading them, so there was no way he could punch it down.

He tried slashing, but the same thing happened. He called out to Quin, but they could not hear each other.

Since it had come down to this, they would have to continue on their own. Silva looked at the people he was with; he knew this was about to get stressful.

"We can't reach them, so we are going to have to make our own way. The wall is also not coming down at all; it absorbs my attacks like it's nothing."

"Tsk, useless when it counts," Mike said and turned to Roxy. "Let's go, we don't need him."

Roxy nodded and glanced at Silva before following Mike.

'It is not safe to separate, but now that Quin isn't here, Mike would rather die than listen to me. I should go my own way,' Silva decided. He waited for them to be gone beyond sight and then went his way.

There was a very odd feeling about this floor. He felt like death was looping around, and to answer his questions, when he took his next turn, a group of twenty skeleton undead was gathered.

"This place just throws all things together into a labyrinth—goblins, Chimeras, Cyclops, and now undead."

He took out his sword and waited for the skeletons to notice him, and they finally did. They all charged at him as soon as they saw him.

"Since no one is here now, I can go all out for now," Silva said. His sword suddenly lit on fire with black flames.

He slashed down and fired an arc of black flames. The flames tore through the entire skeleton army and killed them all at once.

His head was filled with notifications of kills, so he turned it off.

The move he had just used was darkness magic and abyss magic, a spell that fused the two to create the flames known as flames of the abyss.

These flames would burn through everything until that part was cut off, or superior mana was used to suppress it.

Still, even after using superior mana, it would still burn slowly until light magic or a very high-end healing spell was used to stop it.

Another perk of the flame was the fact that it could burn the soul as well.
