Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 262: Night Battle Part 2

* BAM!!! *

" Ooophh! "

< [Item: Aether Black Shadow Symbiotic Armor +8 (SS) ] >

< The Symbiotic Armor greatly reduces the damage >

< Please Stand by while the System continues to Scan the New Subject and Calculate the Damage >

"Your mother- " Donovan returns it with another hit, hitting the guy's head but it has little effect, perhaps the mask, for Donovan felt it was hard as hell.

"( Damn, what's it made of? )" Donovan decides to instead swing his blade with the other hand, slashing on the person's had to with an expected no avail.

"( Damn it, Whoa!- )" Donovan was slammed again, dragged into walls as the guy moves around and throws him back into the center.

" YOU DID NOT JUST DRAGGED ME!? " Donovan's ego peaked, after getting bullied for a while, he gets pissed off, especially when fighting another great opponent post-Disaster King.

* Donovan's PDKSD (Post Disaster King Stress Disorder) just peaked again despite his control and maintenance. *

< [Vermillion Flame] >

Using <Vermillion Flame>, Donovan launches it over the guy, burning the guy in hopes of Damaging him.

" If Physical attacks don't work, then Magic will! " Donovan says this with full conviction, he launches his full blast not caring about what the System's Scan Progress anymore or even knowing what his opponents' true level is.

< User Donovan... > System calls him.

" Hold on System, kinda busy. " Donovan interrupts, he releases his <Vermillion Flame> like him having a pee, all flushed out from his body over his opponent.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ In the other room. ]

" What the f*k? " Black Merchant asks while 'upgrading' Donovan's weapon, listening to the voice of destruction and burning over his domain.

" Really now? " Black Merchant asks himself.

" It's the boy alright, but why he's releasing his 'Gained Fire'* in my place...!? "

" Unless... " Black Merchant realized something.

...

( Return to Donovan. )

Still burning the guy for a while, waiting for the results to come, which...

* The guy's silhouette shows, standing in front of the incoming blazing fire. *

" Oh, not enough juice!? " Donovan asks with the loudest tone he can muster.

" Fine, if s'Vermillion FlJuice' won't budge then s'Vermillion FlSandwich'! " Donovan shouts it while releasing more flaming breakfast.

< Vermillion FlSkill: Burning Sky >

< Vermillion FlSkill: Blazing Scorch >

More flames are coming, but Donovan still sees no screeches of pain from the very guy he burns. Nothing comes out.

< Notification >

< User Donovan, System finally could scan the subject >

< But... >

< 'ERROR' 'ERROR' >

* System Gliches. *

" I see... " an audible voice came, a voice both real and cfrom the System's very speakers too, the svoice.

" So you're the one he toldabout, the 'Shadow Prince'. " the voice says it as a silhouette is shown, calmly walking the blazes of the Vermillion Flames.

" What? " Donovan asks as he sees him.

" Frightened? Of course, you should. " said the voice.

" After all, after years of having all the information given directly into your eyes..., you must be surprised that there's something that you and your System couldn't have access to, didn't you? " the voice comes louder while the guy's silhouette comes closer.

" Oh crap, it seems we have another 'Disaster King' here? " Donovan says this to himself, realizing that he needs to use 'that' from his Items right now, his hands already want to summon the said Item but the guy immediately plunges at him again and hits him hard in the stomach.

< CRIT DMG >

" KUOKH! "

" You depended on your armor so much, didn't you? "

" Wielder of the 'System'? " the masked guy says as the flames burst out from him, releasing his silhouette form back to what he used to look like.

" Eukh! "

The guy chokes Donovan, his fingers' grip strength is greater than his current armor could withstand.

"( How could this happen? What's this guy's status? )" Donovan is super confused, of all times of his leveling experience, never once saw a person harm not just him but also his armor with a mere physical approach.

"( Tch, this guy... )" Read Web s Online Free - Fire

"( Did he just..., disable..., the System...? )" Donovan wonders to himself as he hears or sees nothing from the System during the moment.

In his confusion, Donovan looked carefully, he focused himself on the guy's mask, beginning the wonder about it and think.

* <Vermillion Flame> dissipates. *

" Hmm... " the guy gets confused.

" Right... "

" I've been Overgeared and fed with so many items and skills in the past few days, haven't I? " Donovan says this.

" I depend so much on them, depend on the more powerful and damaging they are when using them? "

" But I forgot the things that I should've used during battle. " Donovan's arm begins to emit smoke, he immediately puts his hand on the guy's mask.

" Eat sJunk Air! "

< Black Smoke >

< Allows the User to create Smoke out of the Aether's Black Power, just like the Black Shadows, but in this ability, the User will be given different types of abilities. >

Using the smoke, Donovan makes the guy disoriented as he slips away using <Black Smoke Moth Slip> out from his grasp.

"( I need to flee from this fight... )"

"( I don't care if this was just a normal battle or a 'Boss Battle' anymore, I don't care- )" Donovan wastes no tto flee, but as he looks back, he sees the guy's gone.

" What the... " Donovan looks everywhere to see where he goes, but suddenly.

" Hmph! " a hand grabs his head from straight above, slamming Donovan into the ground.

"( Why you? )" Donovan struggles to free his head.

" You're not going anywhere. " said the guy while still having the smoke all over his head.

" I'm not releasing you until the smoke goes off. " the guy says, already having one of his hands beca fist.

" No! " Donovan struggles as he sees around him, his thoughts begin to think what to do next, immediately deciding that he must do 'that', there's no other option.

" Arise from the Shadows! " Donovan calls as he summons Turok, Terra, and Torhn out, immediately beginning to strike over the guy.

" You should've not done that... " the guy says, as from his clenched fist, he opens it and releases a powerful bright force, so bright in Donovan's eyes as if the person is going to unleash a nuke all over the place.

" System, hey System! " Donovan struggles and asks the System to respond.

" Can you tellwhat's going on? He-! "

" It's useless, the System won't help you after what you've done... "

" You have made a wrong choice fighting against me, wrong choice! " the guy's released light force began to shine even brighter, almost engulfing all over the place.

But thankfully...

" ENOUGH!!! " a voice commanded them, making both of them immediately stop.

" Huh? " Donovan sees himself already seated on the floor, with the masked guy beside him also seated in front of them, the Black Merchant confronts them with a pissed face as he sees the destruction over his place.

" Hmrph... " Black Merchant stares with great annoyance.
