Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 126: Draven's Official Debut To Society Part 8

< Boss fight Completed >

< Receiving Rewards. >

" This battle is over. " Draven says as he defeats Carlos and '#####' who seems to have gone away from Carlos's body, returning him back to normal.

As it happened, all of them, outside the Black Shadows were shocked, seeing Carlos defeated, just like that.

Especially Carol, who was shocked to see Carlos lying on the ground.

"( It's impossible... )"

"( Draven should've been dead, how...- )" Carol says as Draven then leaves Carlos there while returning the new Shadows back into the Shadow Realm.

< Black Shadow Turok, Terra, and Torhn have been sent into the Shadow Realm. >

" Master... " Tania greets Draven as she then approaches him.

When it happened, Carol who sees this immediately uses her magic to break free. Earlier, she thought that the thing inside Carlos would've killed Draven but somehow it backfires on her, hence why she just stays put in the Black Shadow's custody in order to witness the result.

But in reality, the results didn't go as she thinks.

" Brat, how dare-! "

"( Let her... )" Draven orders the Black Shadows to let her come near Carlos, she touched his body, realizing that he's still breathing.

" He's still breathing, young miss... " Draven says, acting like he doesn't know who she is (We know the truth).

" That Carlos is a powerful opponent, he fights me well... "

" But sadly, he already reached his limit, and thus lost to me. " Draven tells Carol as she holds Carlos tightly, trying to heal him with her magic.

" An unfortunate thing to happen, but that's what it is... " Draven tells her which made Carol angry as this happened.

" You bastard... " Carol says to Draven.

" Just what kind of a 'being' are you? " she asks him, probably getting more curious about who Draven is.

"( Ah, someone is getting curious,.... )" Draven thinks in his mind.

"( Good, good..., continue to the next phase, then. )"

" Didn't you hear ma introduction earlier, young miss? " Draven asks Carol.

" Ma name is Draven... "

" I'm the one who represents the Shadows under this very sun. "

" The Hideous Warrior Prince of Shadows. " Draven presents himself again.

"( I overexaggerated some parts, didn't I? )" Draven asks himself, wondering if he kinda increases some sentences for a bit.

Hearing that, Carol begins to increase the Mana within her, but Draven points his <Aether Blade> at her.

" It's no use, miss... "

" I know that yar still weakened from the Star Elves Magic. " Draven says as he tells that he knows what happened to the entire people in school, that gets the effect of the unknowable spell.

" So don't do anything stupid... " Draven says to her.

" Or else, I will order my Black Shadows to erase all evidence here. " Draven says to her which made Carol pissed even more but can't speak it outright due to her weakness in front of Draven.

"( Why you... )" Carol thinks in her mind, feeling pissed at Draven's behavior towards her.

As Carol thinks about it, Draven begins to call Tania to prepare something as the two talk through <Link> for a minute and then.

" Are you sure you want to do it now? "

" It costs a lot you know... " Tania says Draven responds with a click.

As he clicks his hand, he immediately returns all Black Shadows, except Tania, to the [Shadow Realm].

< All Black Shadows, except [Black Shadow Tania], had returned to the Shadow Realm. >

" Now ya can proceed... " Draven says to Tania, as he then transfers some of his Aether and Mana to her, in order for her to successfully perform some spell she had.

*Tania chants an Elvish Spell*

As she chants it, a barrier begins to be formed around the academy, as Draven transfers his large amount of Mana to help Tania's spell performance.

" Let i minds -o i nór? forget er,... "

" Forget er person man na- alreadime unimportant... "

" Let I person's existence n- forgotten -esse their minds... "

" Forget her, forget her entirelime... "

" Forget Relia Ross... "

" {Enyalie Wipe}"

The spell was unleashed and it fills inside the Barrier. Its effects enter all who were there, entering their minds as Tania purposely unleash that spell to make them forget about something, something else, not the appearance of Draven, the prince of Shadows, but rather...

To wipe out their memories, of a student they knew not for good things, a loser nerd girl, who was probably better to be out of the academy and protected by more, capable hands.

" What spell is that? " Carol asks as she feels nothing at all.

" Oh, this is not a spell that will cause ya harm, young miss... "

" This is just some ceremonial spell we do before we left... " Draven tells Carol as Tania approached him to report.

" The spell is finished, young master. "

" Good, take that fainted half-elf... " Draven says as he orders Tania to take Relia whose been made asleep by one of the Dark Elf Warriors.

" We're leaving!!! " Draven says as he then summons a great shadow to transport both of them.

< Shadow Transport >

" Yar going to enter first, Tania... "

" Make sure that girl is unharmed... " Draven orders her which Tania happily obliged as she enters the Shadows first.

" WAIT!!! " Carol says to Draven while holding Carlos tight.

As she calls him, the rain suddenly came, after the Spell Barrier dissipated.

"( It's been raining? how convenient... )" Draven says as he sees where the mood goes.

" What is it, young miss? " Draven asks her.

In her emotional state, Carol thinks about this, assessing everything from the start, wondering how things could be like this, in the first place.

" You're just going to leave, after all of this!? " Carol asks.

" Hmmm... "

" Why do you ask that? "

" Of course, I have to ask you that!!! "

" Aren't you going to invade us? or are you actually here to save us? " Carol wonders as she tells Draven that she sees the corpses of the Star Elves earlier, all dead after being massacred, making her wondering on what's going on right now.

" Yar misunderstood, miss..." Draven tells her.

" I was never interested to invade this place, this 'school'... "

" Is that what it's called? " Draven acts in order to make himself non-human as possible, making himself act like humans are weird.

" I don't know why but I only see weaklings here... "

" There's no warrior created in this place, only fools... " Draven says as he mocks the very principles of the school.

" Such a waste of time and talent, making kids live, reading books inside this boring cage for hours, making them blind to the world outside. " Draven says, even though...

"( Even though I did not know if there's something happening outside this very place... )" Donovan says for a while but continues his act.

" If I had a kid one day, I would never send one to this very place, I rather teach him myself. " Draven says, acts whatever he can in order to make himself different from his original persona.

" You evade my question... " Carol tells Draven to stop dragging his answer and answer her outright the reason he's here.

" Ya want to know why I'm here...? " Draven asks as he then tells that he only came here to face the Star Elves in some turf war, the 'school' just happened to be the place where it happens, there's no special reason at all.

" Ya all should be thanking me... "

" If I didn't care about ya, I'll just let my soldiers fight as they wish without giving them some concern for yar safeties ... " Draven tells Carol.

" Is the answer already sufficient enough? " Draven says as he then enters the <Shadow Transport>

" I will take ma to leave then... "

" See ya all later... " Draven enters the shadows, disappearing from all of them as they see him gone.

The people who see it began to bewilder, wondering who the hell Draven is, especially Carol who by any sense can't take the logic of what's happening here.
