Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 263: Night Battle Part 3: Results

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.

* Black Merchant stares but primarily focuses on the Masked Guy. "

" I thought you were supposed to be rejuvenated ten days later? " Black Merchant asked the guy, who just became silent after hearing his voice.

The Masked Guy looks another way, one of his fingers immediately points at Donovan.

" Hey, what did I do!? You're the one attacking me, you-! " Donovan screams at him, but the stares of the place owner have directed to his place, a shift of stare which Donovan himself could sense with great fear.

" Gulp. " Donovan sees the Black Merchant who stares sharply at him.

" You entered his Rejuvenating Chamber, didn't you? " Black Merchant asks him, immediately making Donovan afraid.

" I'm not harming him, okay! " Donovan tells the Black Merchant.

" I'm simply enjoying around, walking alone with no guide as I entrusted you with my weapon, of course, I go to as many rooms as possible! "

" I entered and saw the marvels of your merchandise that I couldn't touch, I've seen all of it until I entered this guy's chamber! And you know what happened!? "

" Hell, Black Merchant...! Who even is this guy!? " Donovan rants, but Black Merchant simply interrupts him.

" He's my son. " Black Merchant says that right before Donovan ends his question.

" Huh? " Donovan stuttered when hearing that.

" Huh? " Donovan looked at the Masked Guy who's still looking away and back over to the Black Merchant.

" You're lying! " Donovan says while pointing at the Black Merchant.

Of course, he does that, look, the Black Merchant is a small person with Black Robes and glowing yellow eyes with a hidden face behind his hood whilst the Masked Guy has Gray-Silverish Long Hair with his skin almost pale but beautiful at the same time, tall even.

" Do you guys even look at each other!? " Donovan asks the Black Merchant about it.

" There's no way you're related, you don't look like each other, you-! "

" Father's current form is part of his 'Adaptive Style'. " the Masked Guy says whilst looking away.

" His real form is too much to be shown now, even to your Father and his other Customers, he only shows himself in this form we currently see right now. " the Masked Guy tells Donovan.

" Wait, my father... " Donovan says.

" You knew him? " Donovan asks the Masked Guy who still doesn't wanna look at him.

" Can I return now? " the Masked Guy asks Black Merchant, looking at him a bit.

" What are you waiting for...? " Black Merchant asks back.

" You still have ten days..., remember? " Black Merchant reminds him as the Masked Guy leaves.

[ In another room ]

" I'm sorry for the fight, Black Merchant, I- "

" You're lucky that boy didn't use much on you... " Black Merchant tells him, while Donovan looks around the room he's in.

" Black Merchant about the- "

" It'll fix itself... " Black Merchant quickly interrupts while he brews some tea on the table, giving it to Donovan as he also made for himself.

" My Place Here is made with a substance and made using Magic that could restore all of its contents when damaged. "

" Using that kind of sync, I've simply created a place that wouldn't be destroyed as badly as possible, relieving me of the destruction costs. "

" But still... " Black Merchant puts his glass quite hard, almost slamming it.

" Hearing the voices of your house breaks still annoys me. "

" No, every those who could finance their own houses should be pissed by this. " Black Merchant says that with a tone that is either angry or calm.

"( He's mad. )" Donovan thinks about this while he also looks at his Shadow, seeing Turok, Terra, and Torhn.

"( Even the greatest of my Black Shadows are afraid, OK..., I need to be curious more about Black Merchant from now on. )" Donovan says about all of this and swears it for the future.

" Um, Black Merchant. " Donovan calls him.

" That Masked Guy. "

" Your son..., what's his name? " Donovan asks the Black Merchant but the Black Merchant just went silent.

" ... "

" Oh, you don't wanna tell, that's fine... " Donovan sweats when saying it.

"( I ask the wrong question, didn't I? )" Donovan thinks about it, but then.

" You can call him 'Warwick'. " Black Merchant tells the Masked Guy's name.

" Warwick? " Donovan asks in his confusion.

" That's what I could tell from his overall name, the rest shall not be revealed even more. "

" I know, not a common name, but he embodies what I intent for him from his birth. "

" For I plan to use Warwick for something ten days later, soon after he recovered from the damages he did when Raiding Dungeons. "

" What kind of Dungeons? " Donovan asks, raising his hand.

" Way more Disastrous... " Black Merchant tells him while sipping his tea.

" I thought you knew about 'Disaster Dungeons'. " Black Merchant mentions the Disaster Dungeons that made Donovan shiver.

" I've fought a monster there. " Donovan mentions the Disaster King.

" Even for a 'Creature' like me, who hides himself behind a human skin... "

" That thing, that monster... "

" Is way... too much, for me. " Donovan says this, remembering his experience at that time.

" What do you expect, kid? " Black Merchant tells him.

" He is one of those who were left Post-Ragnarok. "

" He was alive, whilst those I believe stronger than him died in that era. " Black Merchant spits some facts as a survivor too.

" I'll be damned... " Donovan says while drinking his tea full.

" I'm lucky that thing never comes out on any appearing Gates within Elysium Haven or even Westerios... "

" Even if our greatest Mages had the power to face him, I doubt how much of them will survive, even the King. " Donovan tells about what he felt about the Disaster King.

" Do not worry for the Avalon King and Princess... " Black Merchant replied.

" They had 'that thing', you remember? " Black Merchant asks which reminds Donovan about something he sees in the 'Camelot Vault'.

" You mean 'Chaos Magic'... " Donovan asks.

" I think that helps... " Donovan says it with his shiver, not because he knows the Avalons can fight the Disaster King with it, but because he fears what happens after it.

" Whoever holds that thing should be murdered. "

" Even if Chaos could bring us victory over the Disaster King..., if he comes..., I'll still doubt those who hold it will ever be the same. "

" Of course... " Black Merchant replied to him.

" Thus why, I have to prepare things in secret. "

" Even dare to collaborate with some of my customers... " Black Merchant tells Donovan about it, meanwhile, in another place, a group enters a realm through an opened Gate, group with Black and Yellow armored suits, with yellow masks entered the realm.

" Clear. " One of them already killed so many with his 'Wind Magic', he turns around and opens his mask to his friends behind him, revealing himself to be Duncan, who led the team for an attack to who knows what.

...

( Back to Donovan. )

" Father...? " Donovan asks Black Merchant about this, he fears for his dad's safety, but.

" This is already late... " Black Merchant says while opening a [Water Gate] behind Donovan sucking him as he tries to send him back to his dorm.

" Wait! " Donovan tries to hold on to the table.

" Where is my dad now!? " Donovan asks the Black Merchant at that moment but he only hears silence as his answer, an answer he only receives before the Gate takes him out from the Black Merchant's place.

" Oh yeah, forgot to mention... "

" Your weapon will be in my care for some days, wait patiently. " He says this right after the person he should've talked to is already gone.

* Black Merchant sips his tea. *

" Nah, he wouldn't do anything stupid after this one. "
