SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

[From author, this chapter is one word, chaotic, so enjoy]

Jade moved swiftly, attacking with whip-like attacks using her tail. Zack and Maru took turns to block the attacks, but it was getting difficult.

It was becoming evident that the top guardians were not to be messed with.

Maru decided to move in for a counter, so he parried her next attack with all the strength he could summon. Her tail moved and slammed into the wall, demolishing it.

He pushed forward and went for a stab, but at the last moment, he changed the direction of the sword to her shoulder, and that was his mistake.

She was able to dodge it, and then she grabbed the sword with her hands covered with scales. She looked Maru dead in the eye and spoke.

"You should really go for the kill if you plan to stop me and find the girl. Right now, she is running for her life, and the others might have caught up to her," Jade said.

"The fuck is wrong with all of you? It was just a kiss," Zack said and ran towards them. He swung his axe, but Jade pushed Maru towards him, forcing Zack to stop. Then she used her tail and slammed the two of them into a wall.

"It's not just a kiss. It was his first, and the person that he kissed first will forever be stuck in his mind. Personally, I have no issue with who the master kisses first.

But after seeing how devastated the girls were when they heard the news from Elsa, I knew that I had to do something to fix it, and that meant punishment for the girl," Jade said. She leaped again. Zack and Maru immediately blocked the path to hold her back.

Zack channeled his mana through the axe, and the axe glowed red. He struck down on the ground with explosive force that destroyed the floor and pushed Jade back.

Jade was undeterred, though. She pushed forward again and leaped over the hole. Her scales glowed green, and her speed increased as she spun around to slam them with her tail.

The tail slammed into the ground, causing a full explosion, throwing Maru and Zack back. They hit the ground so hard they coughed up blood.

Jade came close and stared at both of them. "There is a reason we have rankings. You can't stop me," Jade said.

"Don't be too sure," Maru said and tapped his hands on the ground.

"Shattering Earth," Maru called out, and the ground started shaking violently, collapsing on itself, with Jade falling into the hole.

To think that the entire castle would be at risk of collapse because Silva joined lips with a girl was a stupid thought, yet here it was, happening right before them.

Jade tried to forge open a portal that would allow her to escape, but Zack came from above with his axe glowing red, aiming an attack at her.

She had to stop the portal in order to block the attack. She blocked it with her tail, but Zack managed to push her deeper.

As Meg ran, she felt the castle tremble. Because of that, she tripped and fell. She immediately got up, but Amber and Dawn had already arrived close to her.

Meg saw them and knew that a fight was inevitable. She took out a staff and got into a battle stance.

"You lot are really crazy. You would fight me over a kiss," Meg said.

"No, we wouldn't. We would kill you," Dawn said and charged with her dual blades, going for her head immediately.

Meg used her staff and blocked the attack. She skidded back a meter and then stopped. She pushed the swords back, but Dawn was already coming in for another attack.

Amber, at the back, was already pulling on her bow, about to fire an enchanted arrow. This would definitely spell the death of Meg.

But before they could reach her, Silva appeared with several clones, all dragging everyone—every single person. He grabbed them by their ears and pulled them.

Two clones jumped Amber and Dawn and grabbed hold of them.

After the clones had secured everyone, boys and girls, Silva started talking.

"Are you all shitheads? You are destroying my castle, and all because I kissed someone," Silva said.

"Pretty bold of you to say that, though," Aris said, but the clone twisted her ear a bit.

"We can't allow the two dumb hero candidates to know what is happening here. That's why I asked Maru and Zack to activate the formation in their room when they took Meg.

So they haven't heard or felt anything that has been happening. Also, the doors are locked.

Meg has to leave today, and she will be leaving with her head. You all will not touch her," Silva said.

"Master Silva, if I may ask, why are we, the boys, getting held by our ears? We didn't do anything wrong except help you," Drake said.

"I know, but for equality, I have made it so," Silva said.

"Now, back to the main issue, you will not kill the first person that I kissed. And yes, I kissed her. Deal with it.

But on that note, I have decided to set a competition and sell my body as a reward to satiate your anger. The winner of this competition will get one kiss from the king, which is me.

This competition will be selling my body as the prize, and so it will be harder than an S-ranked labyrinth. It will be more terrifying than anything you have seen.

I'll do my absolute best to stop anyone from winning, though I doubt that will deter you all," Silva said and then looked at Meg.

"Go and tell those idiots that it's time for them to go," he said. She nodded and left under the death stares directed at her.

"This competition will be to have some fun before we begin Operation Infiltrate the Empire. So, ladies, give it your best," Silva said, and then all his clones vanished, and so did he. It turned out that he was a clone as well.
