Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 264: Forced Revelation

After some time of the night, Donovan gears up as Draven, rushing into the Shadows to enter his current Dorm as the Tournament still goes on.

He infiltrates the guards and swiftly enters his dorm, to his room.

Donovan enters the window and quickly leaps into the bathroom, unequipping all of his items before lighting the place up.

" Fyuh, it's over, now I can- " Donovan is stunned, as in his very bathroom mirror, he sees a certain someone behind him from that reflection he sees.

* Donovan looks behind him. *

" Mrs. Resha? " Donovan sees Agniz Resha, already awaiting him in his Bathroom, her eyes stare sharper than ever, no, not sharp, but hot.

If Duncan's stare is like the sharpest blade that is aimed to cut a person's throat, Agniz's stare is like a fiery arrow prepared to burn those in her radius.

" Having fun during the night? " Agniz asks Donovan making him get steady.

" You saw? " Donovan asked her.

" Of course... " Agniz replied with a calm expression despite the blazing glare she showed.

" Right after a certain Merchant told me about it... " Agniz tells him which makes Donovan curious when hearing it.

" Huh? " Donovan responds.

" I was one of his 'Customers' now, right after your Father introduced him to me, probably two days before now. "

" Including your Principal, Axel. "

" But don't worry. " Agniz closes her eyes, retreating her glare.

" I'm the first and only person he ever told about your 'other life'. " Agniz says as she stands up from the bathroom's closet.

" Of course, after hearing his message, perhaps you were late because you're having a good time with him. " Agniz says as he approaches Donovan.

"( Wow, it seems the princess was right. )" Donovan remembers Princess Alexandria's warnings.

( The Princess' warnings. )*

" Soon, soon you will be unraveled. "

" Please, my dear 'Prince of Shadows'..., you think you can keep this 'vigilante' thing forever? " she asks.

" Do you realize it now? Some already know who you are and some already began to secretly connect the dots. "

...

"( Or perhaps, even worse, given the information straight into their ears... )" Donovan thinks about this, he felt so betrayed after knowing someone who he feels trustworthy had to do this to him.

" Fine, you got me. " Donovan tells Agniz about it.

" I got no defense, you catch me red-handed, the Greatest Vigilante of the Year from Elysium Haven, from Westerios even. "

" So, spill it, you won. " Donovan says to Agniz just that but Agniz sees him while shaking her head.

" I'm not going to reveal you... " Agniz says as she bluntly opens the Bathroom door, Donovan tries to stop her but.

" Your Room Partner had been neutralized. "

" Using some of my 'acupuncture', ya know... " Agniz says that Donovan's room partner will be deep in sleep, perfect for him to have full strength for training.

" Where are you going? " Donovan followed her.

" Mmm? "

" You don't have to follow me, though... "

" Go back to sleep, I mean it. " Agniz tells him.

" Did you know where my Father is? " Donovan asks Agniz as she leaves.

" I heard he's going to deal with some things... "

" Perhaps deal with some people that he thought 'Potentially Affect' your Tournament. "

" Which is also what your instructors are going to do. "

" After all, in this Tournament, you're not the only one who will have some battles, kid. " Agniz says while closing the room's door, leaving Donovan sighing in his place.

" O my... "

" I had a feeling that something big was also going on. "

" And it's not just the 'Tournament'. "

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ An unknown Realm of Darkness. ]

" Darkness, everywhere. " said a man with a Black and Yellow armor suit.

" Are you sure this is his place, Duncan? " said the man followed by many alike, following Duncan who led this... Raid.

" If it's Dark then it's him, Fernando. " Duncan tells Fernando, who was assigned to help him, as they all sneak and assassinate all the guards of the place.

[ Tenebris Devorantis ]

Duncan uses his 'Dark Magic' again, the thing he tries to hold for time, but now, he uses it freely and devours the guards using his version of darkness.

" You have his power, don't you? " Fernando asks, seeing how much his brother-in-law is so adept in using his 'Dark Magic'.

" I told you, Fernando. "

" I have so many things with him. " Duncan tells.

" Knowing who he is, shouldn't you realize how much a person could potentially be something else just by knowing they survive against him? " Duncan tells Fernando about it, something he nods and agrees.

" Well, you married my sister and had a child with her... " Fernando remembers Irina.

" Knowing her of what she was inflicted with, I once believed no man will be betrothed to her and she will live her life alone 'till old age. "

" But you, Duncan... "

" You came to her life, our life, and changed everything, shifting the paradigm of the Richter House even. " Fernando says it.

" Of course, I should've expected, especially Father. "

" You realized even now, he's still meticulously screeching your real past, you know? " Fernando says it which makes all his followers look at him all of a sudden.

" I am aware. " Duncan responds calmly.

" After all, what kind of a Royal Father didn't try to find out his son-in-law's origins even after his granddaughter arrived? "

" He must've done it already, you don't have to tell me this... " Duncan says it as he swiftly speeds around and takes down another incoming guard with his Wind Magic, swift and silent.

" Just as I thought... " Duncan unmasks the guards' helmets, seeing their faces as well as some face pictures in his phone.

" Who are these guys? " Fernando asks as he sees Duncan's phone.

" Some guards from the 'Elite Nurturing Academy', the one who also made it to the Semifinals. "

" I happened to look at them since I had my suspicions of their academy. "

" Speaking of suspicions... "

" If Donovan won against the 'Arc Magus Academy', then his next opponent would be them. " Duncan says as he devours the guards using his darkness.

" You know what this means, Fernando? " Duncan asks Fernando as he looks back at him.

" You're telling me that 'Drecksau' allies himself with a 'Magic Academy'? " Fernando asks as they all converse in their hide.

" Why not? " Duncan replies.

" You can use the newer generation Magic Students as your samples. "

" Not to mention, kids these days are also born with weirder magic than before. "

" Even better, since the subjects are far younger, experimenting on them might grant better results since experimentation on younger subjects may make them grow even greater in the future. "

" That's why we're here..., to destroy the facility that bastard made with the Academy. " Duncan sheathes his weapon.

" So he can't make more monsters out of his monstrosity. "

...

...

Sorry guys.
