Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 217: Spin-Off Vol.1 'Dark Stranger ': Dark of the Night

[ Black Merchant's Place. ]

" So annoying... " Black Merchant says as he cleans all mess that Tenebrae did before he left.

" To think that brat would do things outside my expectations. " he grunts as he had to clean the corpses of his Monster Pets.

" You all should be arise once more... "

" Right after the the Dark of this Night. " Black Merchant says as he pick all the corpses with his Magic and then bring them into another room of his place.

...

( In the other side. )

[ Nyx Nocterra's Private Residence ]

* Duncan roars. *

* People Screaming. *

Duncan massacred all the people around him, the Children of Nyx Nocterra sired by Tyrannus.

" You're all filths, I've had enough for all of you! " Duncan kills the last of them as he slams him hard.

< [Kill everyone (350/350)] >

< Quest Completed >

< Obtaining EXPs >

< Obtaining Rewards >

< You Leveled Up >

" *Pant* *Pant* "

" Hahaha... " Duncan pants as he did all of this.

" It seems I did a Bloodbath again, even without Blood Magic, haha... " Duncan chuckles but suddenly remembers the blood he spilled during his time in the 'facility', the blood he spilled using this very monstrous form he wears.

" Grkh... "

< User's Skin Change >

< [" Fake Human Mage Disguise 'Duncan Grimshaw' " (A)] >

" Aaa... " Duncan began to shed tears, he sees the blood covering all of his body.

" I... did it, again... " Duncan says as he cries slowly, he rants as he did again the thing he did during his time in the 'facility'.

" Keurkh... "

" F*k it! " Duncan's Wind Magic go crazy as he unconsciously destroy the rocks around him as well as his 'Dark Magic'.

* Duncan falls down. *

In the ground, Duncan is saddened, realizing that the vibes of the past is catching to him again, disrupting his attempt to live a happy life in this new world he was given.

He felt sinful, realizing he shouldn't attempt to switch to Royalty without himself knowing what lies behind the dazzling status.

All the blood and bones, all now had been scattered once more by his very hands, an act he tries to not do again, but as things happened.

" I should've stayed as 'Duncan Grimshaw' *sobs* "

" I may only live in Orphanage, but... "

" But at least, it didn't make me do all of this, again! "

Duncan then equips his < Weapon: Knight's Imbuement Sword (Rare) >, he uses at begins to point it's blade onto his very neck, feeling deeply guilty over what happened.

" This, this is the only... way... "

" I'm a monster, the 'facility's monster... "

" I shouldn't be given a second chance, I should stop my carnage, end it here. " Duncan says as he startled while pointing his own blade against him.

As he prepares to stab himself...

* The Sword Shatters. *

[ Tenebris Gladius ]

" You seemed stressed, Duncan Grimshaw. " said a familiar voice to Duncan, a voice who appeared his body before Duncan's very sight.

" You're... " Duncan sees him, it was Tenebrae, the person he posed into for some time.

Duncan's hand then falls down, he felt weak as he loses every energy all of the sudden.

" Kill me... " Duncan says to Tenebrae.

" Huh? " Tenebrae asks.

" Kill me, Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra, Royal Child. "

" KILL ME, I DESERVED IT! " Duncan sobs and shouts in his regret.

" I've done the worse of crimes today, I... "

" I deserved it all! " Duncan shouts in front of Tenebrae who came before him.

Tenebrae looks down at him in silence, but then.

* Tenebrae smirked. *

Tenebrae then bows down and use both of his hands to pick Duncan up, to make him stand up.

" Crimes you say? " Tenebrae asks to the regretful Duncan.

" Kekeke... " Tenebrae chuckles.

" Gyahahaha! " Tenebrae laughs.

" Tene... "

" Crimes? how absurd, this is not a crime, Duncan Grimshaw!? "

" Instead, this is the very thing I've hoped for some time! " Tenebrae tells Duncan which made him startled.

" Hoped? " Duncan asks while still in tears.

" Yes, hope! " Duncan grips both of Duncan's shoulders with joy.

" Do you know how much I want to end father and his scions!? " Tenebrae asks Duncan, making him a bit surprised as he hears it.

" What...? what are you- " Duncan asks and Tenebrae immediately nods.

" Yep, you were right to think of that! "

" From the start, I've always wanted to murder the rest of my family. "

" After all, if Father actually once told you, he, in the matter of fact, sired many children in hopes to obtain a child with 'Dark Magic'. "

" Even after he had me, he still continues his attempts, attempting to make more like me, in order to have the army of his children conquer the other Houses. "

" A very outdated effort to elevate one's family, that foolish Father of mine didn't realized that many Children meant many problems. " Tenebrae tells Duncan, explaining all of his hatred to the one who kills his family for him.

" Preposterous...? " Duncan felt more weakened as he hears this fact.

" Well, despite your efforts, there are still more of my Father's children with the other women, both from the other Royals or Commoners, but that's another problem. "

" For now, I would like to thank you for your efforts, for your time being 'Me'. " Tenebrae tells Duncan, who is in his downed state.

Even worse, hearing Tenebrae's statement as he frees him from his grip, Duncan felt more horrified as he finally understands on what kind of sh*t he lets himself into.

" No, no, no, no, no... " Duncan shakes his head as he thinks more about this.

" No, this isn't right!? "

" So you mean all of this, all of my dirty work, are for YOU!? " Duncan shouts in anger, he thinks more about this, reflecting it, he even begin to think that this is part of Tenebrae's plan all along.

" This is your PLAN!? All along!? " Duncan asks to Tenebrae which made Tenebrae surprised.

" Plan? " Tenebrae asks then chuckled.

" Please, Duncan Grimshaw, can I call you just 'Duncan' by the way? " Tenebrae chuckles more.

" I'm not a God or some sort, I simply am born with great privilege. "

" And speaking of privilege, I mean born with great status, power, and even... "

" Destiny. " Tenebrae tells as he smirked.

" And speaking of destiny, it seems fate has sent you to bring me what I've wanted for so long. "

" Congratulations, Duncan. " Tenebrae calls him.

" Thank you for 'Elevating' me. " Tenebrae says while telling everything Duncan did while posing as him, he thanks Duncan for everything which made Duncan more horrified as things comes into play.

"( No, no.. )"

" Now, Duncan. "

" Since I have you to thank for all of this... "

" Would you like to join me, join the Nyx Nocterra House? " Tenebrae asks all of the sudden, offering his hand also to invite Duncan in.
