SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 28: into the darkness



Silva made his way through several monsters, none being able to stop him, and finally, he got to the location where he had sensed Roxy.

He saw her lying on the ground unconscious, with a deep gash across her chest. He ran up to her as fast as he could and placed his head against her chest to make sure she was still alive.

Though that was pointless as she would have disappeared if she was dead, he still felt the need to do it.

Her heart was still beating, so he took out the best healing potion he had and tried to feed it to her, but he couldn't.

He decided to use another approach. He poured the potion into his mouth, then slightly opened her mouth, bringing his head down and interlocking their lips.

He projected the potion with force into her mouth and down her throat. He sat back up and cleaned the sides of his mouth while looking at her.

In less than a minute, her color returned, and the wound began healing at a visible rate.

After ten minutes, the wound had closed up, she coughed up some blood, and her eyes opened.

She looked around, and everything was blurry. When it finally cleared up, she saw Silva sitting beside her.

She tried to get up, but Silva pushed her back down.

"You need to rest and let the potion do its work. You aren't strong enough yet," Silva said.

She did as he said and lay down, staring at the cave ceiling.

"Thank you, I owe you my life," she said.

"No, we are party members. We have to look out for each other even if it is temporary," Silva said.

Suddenly, she started crying, tears pouring out of her eyes nonstop.

Silva didn't know how to react to this; he just stared at her with a confused look.

"Sob, I disrespected you and was mean to you all this time, sob. I didn't even know the type of person you are, sob, yet I listened to Mike and thought you were a bad person," Roxy said.

"What did Mike tell you about me?" Silva asked.

"He said you are manipulative and that you always turned people against him. You even made his twin sister hate him.

He said you did your best to make his life a living hell, and that was the reason he decided to stay with Sir Quin," Roxy said.

"I see, most of those are true in a way, but there are stories that led to all this. The people he claimed I manipulated against him were all people he told things to, just like he told you.

When they found out the truth, they turned against him. His sister never disliked him, but he was always angry that she spent more time with me, and he started doing stupid things to hurt me. That made his sister angry, driving a rift between them," Silva explained.

"Sob, I understand. You aren't a bad person. I was stupid to listen to him," Roxy said.

"No, don't worry about all that. By the way, where is he?" Silva asked.

As soon as she heard that question, her body started trembling, her face contorted with rage and anguish all at the same time.

"Take a deep breath, Roxy. Calm down and talk to me," Silva said.

She took a breath like he said and calmed her head before talking.

"We came here together, and suddenly, a Minotaur appeared and attacked us. I thought we would fight together, but Mike left me to my death and ran away.

He used me as a shield to buy time. The Minotaur attacked me, but I was lucky enough not to die.

After that, it chased after Mike, who was long gone," Roxy explained.

"That fucker. What the hell is wrong with you, Mike!" Silva punched the floor and left a large crack.

He immediately used search to locate Mike and found his location.

'There are some things you never do as a man, Mike. Dad taught us better than this. What are you turning into?'

Silva picked Roxy up. She tried to tell him that she could walk on her own, but he insisted on carrying her.

He carried her on his back and ran in the direction of Mike. He was pissed because he thought that Mike was simply angry at Silva and would not take that anger out on anyone else, but it seemed Mike was simply an asshole.

Silva ran and fought all at the same time, killing all the small fries that were in his way. Roxy was shocked at how all those monsters didn't even prove to be an issue for Silva.

After a while, he finally got to the place. It was at the hole that led to the city floor, and from mere looking, it was deeper and wider. He saw Mike on the ground covered in blood, and the Minotaur standing there as well.

Silva took out the axe again and activated its special ability.

"You puny human never learn, right?" the Minotaur asked as he charged at Silva.

Silva raised his axe with one hand and brought it down, repeating what he did with the former Minotaur.

In that moment, his concentration was taken by the attack, and Roxy closed her eyes to avoid dust and other particles.

Because of that, the two of them didn't notice the wounded Mike sneaking up on them. Mike pushed them with all the strength he could muster into the large hole.

Silva and Roxy fell into the hole. Silva looked up and saw Mike smiling like a madman as they fell into the darkness.
