SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Mike found himself walking through the quiet of the forest. He didn't see any abominations of any sort, and that was making him a bit uncomfortable because he knew Silva, and whatever Silva planned could not be normal.

And as if he jinxed it, he saw several abominations appear, but that was not all, because at the center of them all, he saw a figure, and that sent chills down his spine because that figure was none other than Fang, the Lightning Tiger.

He might not be too high in the rankings, but his strength was undoubted amongst the others. He was naturally talented.

When Fang and the abominations came into view, Mike took out his sword. Unlike Lia and Silva, he didn't have a strong element, so he trained his swordsmanship and found a way to merge it with Mana.

He created a very unique fighting style that fit him very well. That was how he had been able to level up and keep growing.

The abominations immediately attacked Mike at full force, wanting to rip him apart. The first one made it to Mike and tried to grab him.

Mike stepped back with one swift step, and then he took another step, vanishing in a second. The abomination exploded into chunks of cleanly cut meat that fell to the floor.

Fang was shocked to see this. His eyes had followed Mike's movement. Mike had taken one step to the side, and then his hands moved like a blur, slashing through the abomination.

At times the blade didn't even touch it, but it was coated in thick yet very sharp Mana, so it tore through the abomination with ease.

What Mike did was not what shocked Fang; it was the fact that someone of his level could pull something like this off. It was a testament to how good of a swordsman Mike was.

After Mike killed the first one, more came his way, but he was unfazed. He couldn't use the move he used just now repeatedly, but he could still move very fast.

The only issue here was Fang, and it seemed Fang was not about to make it easy for Mike. Fang watched like a hawk, as if he was waiting for the right opportunity to pounce on Mike.

That meant Mike would have to fight while watching Fang and making sure he didn't leave an opening for Fang to attack.

That was harder than it sounded because the abominations were coming in hot, very hot. Your journey continues on empire

A ten-foot-tall abomination came running towards Mike. It threw a very fast punch that took all of Mike's speed to dodge.

He dodged the attack, but before he could counter, the abomination came in with another attack. Mike blocked with his sword and was immediately sent flying from the impact, but he flipped in the air and landed on his feet.

The abomination was already headed his way at top speed, but Mike had a second to respond before the abomination got to him.

He used that second as best as he could. He used the same move he used for the first abomination, taking one step and then vanishing.

But unlike the first abomination, he was only able to deliver one heavy attack, and that was all. The attack didn't manage to kill the abomination, but it made it fall to the ground.

When the abomination hit the ground, Mike moved to finish it off, but as he lifted his sword, a massive ball of lightning slammed into him and sent him into a tree, knocking him out for a second.

It was his fault. He got too engrossed in fighting the abomination and had forgotten about Fang, who was eagerly watching for a chance to attack, and he gave Fang that chance.

Mike struggled to get up. His stomach and chest were heavily burnt, and blood was dripping out of them. He held his blade. His hands were shaky, but he forcefully stabilized them.

"That was a powerful attack, but I could tell that you held back a lot," Mike said.

"Well, it would be no fun if I killed you right off. I should at least give you a fighting chance," Fang said.

"That is very appreciated," Mike said and took one step. He vanished, using the same technique, and went for Fang.

But Fang could follow his movements. Matter of fact, he could react to them as fast as Mike made them. He moved out of the line of the sword at the last moment and then used his paw to hit Mike.

Mike took the brunt of the attack and flew like a bird, slamming into a tree. He got back up immediately and tried to use that technique again, but he coughed out huge amounts of blood and fell to his knees.

"That technique of yours is quite good, but it pushes your body to its current limit every time you use it. I'm guessing that's why you can't use it repeatedly.

Now, your body is seriously injured, and it is taking all your willpower to keep standing. So if you tried to use that technique again, it will cause your body to collapse, which is what we are seeing here.

Maybe you aren't meant to be strong. Maybe this is your peak. You could give up now and walk away happily," Fang suggested.

"Give up? Give up? No, I can't do that," Mike said and pushed himself up slowly.

"I have been putting all my failures on people for a good part of my life, blaming people, especially Silva.

Silva is a person that doesn't care who stands in his way; he would kill that person, and for a good time, I stood in his way repeatedly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And rather than kill me, he actually saved me. He went into the unknown and saved me despite the fact that I antagonized him for no good reason.

So right now, in my life, I want to do my best to show him that I changed after he saved me, and I will make sure I do that," Mike said, standing straight with his swords in his hands.
