SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

He still had use for them and their connections, so he let them leave.

Right now, all three of them knelt before him in the throne room, their heads down, their egos vanished. They only existed to serve Silva now.

"Now, when you head up, the other adventurers are going to have a lot of stories about taking monsters and things like that, and we can\'t let word of that get out.

So, the story behind what happened in the labyrinth is that you met a monster on the twentieth floor that was very powerful.

A floor boss, and he caused severe hallucinations, which led to everything that happened so far.

Currently, thirty percent of the people that entered here have been killed or captured for personal reasons.

The remaining have either trauma or injuries, but they have all started returning to the surface. They\'ve had enough of adventuring, and I told them to go finally.

But they have all passed through hell because I forced them to keep going deeper and fighting both monsters and amongst themselves.

Well, all that aside, you are to do as you are told and report to me. Also, carry out the instructions I gave you in Blacklight City," Silva said. He activated the teleportation and sent them to the upper floors.

"Alright, that concludes the raid issue. I had fun," Silva said. He got up and walked towards the door.

"Lily, come and show me what we worked on," Silva said. She bowed and followed him.

They entered a large room, and inside were over ten people tied up. They were the ones that he had caught to torture.

"Lily, you like carrying out experiments, right? Make sure to use them to the best of your abilities." After saying that, he left the place.

He met up with Dawn, and they went back to the upper floors. He waited for an opportunity and then got his clone to go ease himself. Then, he switched with the clone and came back.

Five minutes later, Dawn also arrived.

"You are finally back, Dawn," Silva said, acting like he hadn\'t seen her in a while.

"I managed to help those I could, but the situation in the labyrinth is dire. We should head out fast," Dawn said.

"I agree. There is no point in us staying here; we would be seeking out death," Quin said.

Stepping outside the labyrinth, the surrounding area was filled with adventurers everywhere.

The wounded were getting treated, and the others just sat in quietness.

Raze was also there. When he saw Silva, he walked over to him.

"Thank goodness you are still alive," Raze said.

"Why are you here, Guild Master?" Silva asked.

"An adventurer told us what happened in the labyrinth. She told us that everyone was in danger and that many people had died.

So I rushed here, and by the time I came, the A ranks were out, and they explained the issue of the hallucinations that initiated the panic.

As of now, I get that forty people are not yet back, and we don\'t know what state they are in.

It\'s useless to go and search for them, given the size of the labyrinth," Raze explained.

"I know this is not the right time to say this, but I am certain some of them have died," Silva said.

"Kid, I know that, I know it all too well, but I have the duty to stand as the hope for the adventurers that have been battered by this labyrinth.

Even if I know that most have died in there, I still have to keep the hope up," Raze said.

Silva didn\'t say anything more. He turned to Quin.

"I guess we had the lucky side; the monsters we faced weren\'t too strong," Silva said.

"No, you just went and killed everything," Quin said.

\'Sigh, I forget that my clones are ten times my strength,\' Silva thought.

"Silva! Quin!" Lia called out from a distance. She ran their way, huffing and puffing.

Silva and Quin ran to meet her halfway. If she ran all the way here, then it must be something serious.

"What is it, Lia?" Quin asked.

"Mike, Mike has woken up. I went by your house to get something, Brother Quin, and I saw Mike sitting up.

I got Mum and Dad to stay with him while I ran here to call you guys," Lia explained.

"Mike? He woke up?" Quin asked to confirm. He looked at Silva, and Silva nodded.

"Let\'s head back home. Dawn, come with me," Silva said. Quin left his party, and they headed back to town.

Silva carried Lia in a princess carry since she wouldn\'t be able to run at their speed.

Lia didn\'t expect it when Silva picked her up. Her face went tomato red, and she tried to hide it.

They ran to town nonstop and made it back in just a few minutes. They headed for Quin\'s house and entered.

When they got to the room, Silva saw his mum and dad seated beside Mike, and Mike was just sitting quietly.

Mike looked up slowly and saw his brothers and sisters, but his eyes mostly stayed on Silva.

Mike started moving, trying to get up. His dad tried to hold him down since it had been a while since he was in a coma, and there was no way he had the strength to stand.

But Mike was adamant, so his father helped him up and helped him walk slowly to the front of Silva.

Mike looked Silva in the eye for some seconds, and then bowed his head to Silva.

"Sorry," he managed to mutter, and then his legs gave out. His father caught him quickly and carried him back to the bed.
