Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 120: Draven's Official Debut To Society Part 7

( After hours and hours... )

Oh my...,

For how long I've dragged out this very battle...

You see, if you were focused from the start, this event should've ended quickly...

Oh, how foolish I am for stepping in...

Should've stayed covered in the <Shadow Realm> and waited for the 'Star Elves' to leave.

But I can't hold it, can't I...

The urge on killing the invading monsters constantly motivates me to go out in undesirable situations...

Like this.

...

(Return to the battle. )

Using the Aether even more, Draven beats Carlos with it, constantly striking at him before he performs any kind of his Star Magic.

" What's the matter, son of Arthur Calibur!? "

" Does your magic fail you? am I too strong for you to handle!? " Draven says, mocking Carlos's hold over the Star Magic.

" To see that magic be acquired by the likes of you makes me puke... "

" I think I'm the better candidate to hold it, I-"

" Not a chance! " Carlos attacks Draven after hearing it, the battle continues despite Draven still on top, beating Carlos one-sided.

" Oh no! " Carol screams from afar, as the situation gets worse, for Carlos.

She can't imagine how Carlos and his Star Magic can be beaten by some unknown stranger.

"( Even the 'Star Magic' can't hurt him? )"

"( Who is this stranger? )" Carol wonders as she sees the Black Shadows and looks closely over Draven again.

"( This can't be good! even as an 'outcast' from the Calibur House, I... )" Carol says as she can't take the reality of the defeat of the 'Star Magic' User.

The very magic is known to be so powerful, it's user should able to defeat many armies in one blast of attack, it's powerful and supportive in any way as the magic also blesses its user with many feats. There should be no chance that a 'Star Magic' User is defeated by another mage or monster, it rarely happens.

But if it happens..., then that means...

"( I... I can only tell..., that this 'Draven' guy, or whoever he is... )"

"( He is..., stronger than Carlos, no... )"

"( He could be stronger than cousin Arthur himself... )" Carol says as Draven attacks Carlos.

< Aether Wave >

< Using the raw Aether energy, the User could use its energy to send a great wave of intangible energy to telekinetically attack the opponent. >

" Garkkkhh!!! " Carlos gets a hit, a critical hit as he was hit in the stomach.

Draven beats Carlos down and as he presses him in every turn, Draven uses his Aether abilities and magic, giving a sense of absurdity in front of the others who watch the battle.

The absurdity is, of course, can be done, since Draven is technically stronger than Carlos at any level, after 'his' Leveling many times outside the academy, outside everyone's eyes, he grinds himself to achieve more, in order to be on top.

" Is this the best you could give me, son of House Calibur? " Draven asks Carlos as he slashes him, striking his sword away from his hands, disarming him after some time.

" Imposs- " Carlos was disarmed and Draven's blade pointed at his neck to make him submit.

" -sible, wasn't it...? " Draven says as he defeats Carlos.

"( I knew it that I would beat him one day, even though..., I do it in this 'persona'... )"

"( But it's fine, at least I felt the glory, right? )" Draven thinks in his mind, as Donovan, as he still felt glorious after defeating Carlos for the first time, after many hours passed by.

"( But still, how I didn't realize the battle was so long, that even the fainted ones in the academy had already woken up and joined to see this battle. )" he sees the people in the academy awake which makes him had to deploy his Black Shadows to surround them, making them stay in their place.

Especially since he let <Doom> out of the <Shadow Realm>.

" You're not getting near master..., brats... " he says to the academy students who watch the battle as he appears out from a large shadow, making the kids there afraid.

" Gyah, what the hell are you!? " the student says as they feel fear seeing Doom's gigantic size.

" Kekekeke...! "

" Teacher, help us! a black giant had entered the academy! " the students call the teachers to come out the teacher hears them but can't help, since...

" You're not going anywhere, ... "

" Teacher... " one of the <Black Shadow, Dark Elf Warriors> says as they take all of the weakened teachers hostage, including principal Axel as he still tries his best to recover his Mana.

" The teachers are all calmed down, lady Tania... "

" We had subdued them, making sure they won't cause much trouble... " said the Black Shadow Dark Elf to Tania through their <Link>.

" Well done, keep an eye on them. "

" Make sure you bind them, don't let them free... " Tania tells the elf.

" And what about the students? "

" Should we also capture them? "

" No need, my friend... "

" Doom and the Warhogs will take care of them. "

" Are you sure, lady Tania? "

" Are you sure they won't harm them per young Master's orders? "

" Don't worry, ... "

" Doom's mere presence and the Warhog's physical looks are enough to make the little kids cower in tears. " Tania says as she can see kids getting assembled in one hall thanks to the Warhog, giving them all in <Doom>'s care as he monitors the kids which his huge body.

As the Black Shadows, deal with the waken-up academy people, Draven continues his fight with Carlos who decided to fight using bare hands and magic only. Using his magic to a great extent because he doesn't want to be defeated by Draven.

" You villain! how can you order your familiars to abduct the kids here!? "

" Unforgivable! " Carlos says, still had no idea that Draven's intention in doing so wasn't to enact harm on the students, but to make them in one safe spot in order for him to give another great performance to Carlos.

"( It seems all the students and teachers are assembled... )"

"(They are all inside many different assembly spots, but at least their spots make them can view this battle. )" Draven says as the teachers and the students were assembled in the spots that have windows that make them see the Academy Garden, making them see his battle with Carlos.

"( I know this plan is made by me, out of nowhere, but... )"

"( I think this plan worked as I beat up Carlos even more. )"

"( Hehe, I can't wait for what the news said if they manage to get their hands on this battle from the students or the teachers. )"

"( It would be there greatest trend without me planning it at all and just join its course... )"

"( After all, this 'was' supposed to be the 'Star Elves' invasion, but... )" Draven remembers as he realized that since he killed many Star Elves in the academy, he and his Black Shadows unknowingly replace them as the 'monsters' who invade the Prodigal Academy.

Making him technically the 'villain' in this event. Ironic.

"( In truth, I never wanted myself as 'Draven' to be branded by society as a 'villain'. "

"( Instead, my original goal was to make him as an 'Urban Legend Vigilante'. )"

"( The one who strikes evil at night, like those in fiction, wearing black suits and capes, watching the night with their sharp eyes. )"

As Draven fantasizes about himself, he then kicks Carlos which is his powerful kick, making Carlos get flown far away, crashing many trees as the result.

" Kuokh! " Carlos vomits some blood, despite still managing to hold the pain and minimizing the damage thanks to the Star Magic buff he had in his body.

[ Star Shield Skin ]

" Grhh... "

" You bastard... "

" How dare you dishonor me like this... " Carlos said to Draven Draven responds.

Carlos tries to stand up, with his body still filled with a great amount of Mana, he tries his best to stand up again with his will despite knowing the full extent of Draven's power now.

Seeing Carlos like that, Draven giggles as he then mocks Carlos.

" Of course, I could do this, Carlos! "

" Do you know why after hours of our battle, you look pathetic? " Draven says to him.

" Because you're weak! " Draven says which made Carlos triggered at the moment.

" What did you say!? " Carlos can't accept it, as the word 'weak', triggers him...

And something else...

.....

.....

......

..........

...........

( Unknown Place. )

" It seems you had a bad day, Carlos... " a person says in a realm full of magic seals.

" How weak of you, even with your Star Magic and that royal blood... " he says as the person in that realm smiles while being bound with some sort of seal that binds all of his limbs.

" 'Draven', huh? "

" Interesting... " he says as he smirks.

" Very, very... "

" Interesting... "
