Chapter 497: Painful Memories
Silva was seething as he heard Ragna.
"I’ll kill you no matter what, Ragna. I’ll make sure that I destroy you," Silva roared. The thought of his family and friends probably dead at this moment caused his heart to sink down to the bottom of his stomach.
Ragna stepped out of the room, and the door shut behind him.

Zion activated a system at that moment. He looked at Silva and then spoke.
"You should really try to escape this. Don’t allow your rage to cloud your judgment."
Silva heard him. He had to agree with him. He took a deep breath and then stood straight with his sword in his hand.
"I’ll show all of you why the hell I am the Dark Dragon."
In that exact moment, he pulled all his clones from the planet below, and they all appeared around him.
"Oh, we are finally getting added to the fight?" One clone said, eager to get it on.
"Tch, weeping angels again? These guys are extremely pesky," another one said.
"Focus, everyone. We have to ensure we get out of here," Silva said.
"I’m sure there were better ways for you to leave here," another clone said.
"I know what you are thinking, but remember that this is the ship of a primordial being. There is nothing like an easy escape when it comes to this."
"I guess that makes sense."
"Right now, they are following their strict laws, which means they cannot attack as long as we look at them, which also means we cannot destroy them as long as they are stagnant."
Silva explained.
"Well, that’s no issue then. Close our eyes, someone else attacks the one that’s attacking one of us while we attack the one that’s attacking them," one clone explained.
"Sounds like a solid plan," Silva replied. They all looked at themselves and then nodded. In the next instant, the eleven of them vanished from where they stood.
The weeping angels moved as well, each one chasing another with stupendous speed. Silva shot past a clone who was getting chased by two angels. He shut his eyes to ensure that they did not attempt to stop and become invincible.
Since his eyes were closed, the angels continued their motion. Each one swung their sword to attack at the same moment. Silva blocked the attack with his eyes closed. Two swords slammed against his own, and a massive shockwave ripped out as a result.
The clone that had rushed past Silva also shut his eyes and attacked the angel that was behind Silva with a wide slash. The angel blocked the attack with no issue and then pushed back on the clone, but the clone came in faster and proceeded to unleash a barrage of attacks while the angel was forced to block everything.
All the clones now had their eyes shut, no observation, covering their backs as they moved.
Silva dodged the attack of two angels at the same time. They slashed, digging into the ground deep. He moved to the side fast and shot at them. They tried to recuperate, only for one of the clones at the side to attack with a stream of black flames that slammed into one of the angels, casting a bit of confusion before he focused back on his own fight.
Silva used that opportunity and attacked the one that had not been hit, now that he was alone. He slashed wide. A massive arc of black flames shot out. The angel cut through it and then stepped in, expecting to see Silva, only for Silva to appear right behind him.
"You really underestimated my speed," Silva said before driving the sword through the back of the angel. It let out a thunderous cry. Silva followed up by exploding the inside with a massive blast of flames that destroyed the angel from inside.

Silva looked at that notification for a moment. It had been so long since he got that. It reminded him of where he had come from, his hometown, the start of everything. It reminded him of the family that he made along the way.
His sister, his parents, his daughter, his friends, everyone that he had fought through the odds with. And now Ragna was coming for them, coming for their lives.
"I’ll never let you!"
His voice thundered with pain. He remembered his own brother who had died because of him.
Silva’s wings flapped faster than normal. He shot forward with a speed that he never thought possible. His hands wrapped around the neck of the angel that had been knocked by flames. He drove the angel fast and slammed it into the wall, and then proceeded to stab his sword into the shoulder of the angel and pin him to the wall.
"I’ll never allow you to take them!" Silva roared as he grabbed one of the wings and ripped it clean off, then proceeded to start ripping each one out, one after the other, while the angel screamed in pain.
Each of the clones watched. They were shocked, but they understood. They could all feel what he was feeling, and they knew why he was acting this way.
Silva ripped all the wings out of the back of the angel, then pulled his sword out and slashed the head of the angel clean off.

"All of you? Finish up. I want to go after Ragna," Silva said in a cold, monotone way.
The clones looked at themselves for a moment before proceeding to go at the angels harder, and with their strength, they managed to take down all the angels in a matter of seconds, more and more notifications ringing for Silva.
When they were done, he unsummoned them and faced the door. He walked to it and placed his hand on it, but it refused to open, so he dug his hand right into the frame and pulled it off before tossing it aside.
