Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 12: Duncan's Regret (2)

I was so foolish, why didn't I expect things to happen this way ....

I thought that, if I use my <Air Slicer> skill, then I would be able to wound Ardun off ..

But ....

" Ahahaha ... too bad ... Duncan !!!!!!!! " Ardun says as he grabbed me.

" I had learned some new skills before I came here ....!!!! " Ardun says as he uses the new skill he acquired.

< Mountain Muscle >

< This hardening ability increases the user's strength, durability, and defense to higher charts as this skill can only be used by someone with a great amount of Mana. >

As I heard its name, I immediately knew that it was earth-type elemental magic which is the Air magic's weakness since the earth had the ability to block the wind's flow.

As he grabbed me, Hector then slashes his blade toward Ardun as he then blocks it with his punch as he uses his attack.

" <Ares Fist> " Ardun punches the slash as Hector tries to free me from his grasp by slashing the hand that grabbed me at that moment which made Ardun angry as he deals with both of us with strength in both his physique and his magic.

" Your abilities won't affect me, gentlemen ... " Ardun says.

" I'm invincible .... "

" Right ...., Duncan ... " Ardun says while staring at me as I then begin to remember the past back when I was a beginner Hunter.

( Many years ago. )

[ Hunter Association Building, Hunters Arena ]

Back then ... I was very persistent in proving my strength ....

As I fight in the Hunters Arena, I always won against every enemy that I am up against even though I'm still a B rank at the time.

As I fight my enemies, I begin to attract more Hunters that want to prove their strength as that day happens.

" So you're Duncan Grimshaw huh !!!!??? " said a man with a wild-long red hair to me as he also had that Lion Tattoo on his right hand.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

" Umm ... hello ... " I said to him as the man challenged me to battle at that time, a battle that we both never forget as our battle almost wrecked the Hunters Arena as our primary elemental magic created a fire tornado that burns the very ring that holds us.

" < Air Leave Blow > !!!! "

" < Ares Rage Fire > !!!!!! "

At that time, we never knew the winner of our very battle, since the whole place had already been covered by our very power which makes us have to battle without knowing when it would end and when it was ended.

As in that battle, the thing I remembered is cutting Ardun's chest as I show him a bit of mercy there ...

Mercy that I regretted giving him, since in the next years ... Ardun constantly had that unhealthy rivalry with me as he will use his many ways to discard me and often challenge to battle since he still wants to finish our battle on that very day.

Even now, Ardun that had already become a Guildmaster often does his things that always give my Guild many problems as he wants to fight me so badly.

And currently, after our long dispute, there's another thing that makes Ardun want to mess with me again ...

Donovan ..

Our newly son ....

The child that I just found in the afternoon earlier, a child that I thought could bring me joy for the first time in order to please my father-in-law, Hector...

But ... even when I thought that this day will be a happy day ....

This asshole then comes to ruin it, just like what he's doing right now as I attacked him with everything that I've got.

" Ardun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " I shout his name as I use my Air Magic Spell, a spell that requires my full concentration as I intend to attack Ardun's body parts that I've been targeting for so long ... his neck,

" The Wind that cuts every tree, the Air that rips the woods ... "

" Let your Wild breeze cut through and allows me to Slash my enemy with your sharpness ... "

" The Air that brings doom, the Burst of Destruction ... "

" Allow me, Empower me .. Let me destroy the very obstacle before me ... " I chant the spell to my sword as the wind comes to it, enhancing it with its very power.

As I charge it, the whole people inside looked at me as they were very shocked to see such a spell unleashed from my very mouth.

" This spell ... " Hector says beside me as he then without second thought moves back I also see that Donovan is also looking at me with his wide white eyes as if he sees something great coming out.

< Scanning Scanning >

< Spell Probability Threat: Dangerous >

< User is advised to not stay close during the Spell as it would Damage the user. >

.....

" Prepare yourself, Ardun !!!!!!!!!!!! " I say to him as Ardun then also prepares his spell.

" Ohohoho .. not bad Duncan !!!!!!!!!!!! " Ardun says as he chants his most powerful spell.

" Oooo Great Fire of Ares bless me with your rage and fuel, my enemy, with the very flame of war ... "

As he says that, I then unleash my attack as I and Ardun both say the attack's very name.

" <Air Slashing Spirit Thrust, Mantis Scythe> !!!!! "

" <Fire Blaze of War, Ares Bomb> !!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

As we unleash our spell attacks, an explosion happened at that time as I use my air power to push Ardun far away from my family I push him outside the Bunker and push Ardun into the yard where I then change my thrust into a slash as I cut his very right hand with full force.

" Garrrggghhh !!!!!!!!!!! " Ardun shouts as he then uses his left hand to punch me at the time as his left hand is still empowered by his Earth Magic as he then immediately charges his way to me which almost hit me until ...

" Don ... "

" Donovan ...? " I was shocked, as I immediately see that our son Donovan is already in front of me to block Ardun's attacks.

" User HP -100.000 >

< Absorbing other DMG and using it to increase the User's HP due to User's Absorbing Talent >

...

" Guuu !!!! " Donovan says at the time as his body suddenly turns big and engulfed Ardun immediately.

" Grrkk .. what are you ... no !!!!!??? " Ardun says as Donovan engulfs him with his black liquid-like body as Immediately realized that what he does is an ability that was used by a Slime Monster, the monster that I used to fought during my newbie days.

" Dono ... van ... " I say as I see my son absorbing Ardun completely which makes me shocked as I see him slowly turning back to normal as he then approaches me.

" Gaaa !!!!!!! " Donovan says as he comes into my arms.

At that time ..., I was shocked to see what happened as I hear that Irina and the others are coming out from the Bunker, only to see me hugging Donovan which makes them feel good as Hector then sees Ardun's feet and asks if I killed him which I then answered with a yes while looking at Donovan that Irina picked from my arms.

" Yes father, .... "

" I'm the one who killed him ... " I answer Hector's question which makes him smile as he pats my back, telling me that I did a good work which he then tells me to sit down for a bit as he says that he will bring some back-up while I go to Irina and Donovan as I then hugged both of them since the ordeal is over.
