Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 219: Spin-Off Vol.1 'Dark Stranger ': The Stranger's Actions

[ Elysium Haven Capital Park, Eliopolis ]

" All Knights, protect the civilians and deal with the beast! "

" Aye, sir! "

The knights quickly attacked the enraged 'Gigantic Triceratops', attacking it with their Magic which proven to be insufficient.

" Fools! " Duncan says as he sees the knights.

< Name: Private Knight, Joseph Morrow >

< Level: 45 >

< Tier: II >

< Name: Private Knight, Ethan Hunter >

< Level: 49 >

< Tier: III >

< ... >

"( Fool, your levels are still too low! )" Duncan sees it, seeing that the ones present are the Private Knights, the lowest of the Royal Knights Ranks. This is the knights who were here to defend these people who bring their 'Tamed' Magic Beast, Magic Beast that often were so powerful in nature, that those who owned it irresponsibly flee when it was stricken down.

" All of you help the injured! " said the Sergeant Knight, Maurice Aquilla.

< Name: Sergeant Knight, Maurice Aquilla >

< Level: 56 >

< Tier: III >

Sergeant Aquilla then try to fend off the 'Gigantic Triceratops' Beast, using his [Air Slash].

" [Air Slash] " Sergeant Aquilla attacks the beast, but it came into no effect.

" It's not strong... " Sergeant Aquilla says as he get pissed as his [Air Slash] is still as weak, unlike his fellow comrade.

" If Knight Captain, Duncan was here..., he... " Sergeant Aquilla says as he then hears a voice.

" <Air Slash>! " he hears it out loud, as well as the slashing air that wounds the 'Gigantic Triceratops' chest.

* Gigantic Triceratops screech in pain. *

" What... " Sergeant Aquilla then sees Duncan, who was already standing beside him.

He uses the < Knight's Imbuement Sword (Rare) > with < Mana Imbuement > and uses a pose he learned during his time.

"( I honor this to the Knight Captain whom I consumed to gain this human 'skin'. )" Duncan says as he prepares a spell, a spell which Sergeant Aquila felt familiar as he hears Duncan chanting it near him.

" With my very blade, I will draw the power of the Wind! "

Duncan's sword is imbued with his current Wind Magic power, he charged it into his sword so much which can be felt by the people around, from Sergeant Aquilla who witnessed him and confused, even the Royal Girl, Irina Richter who were protecting the people using her Ground Magic could felt something big is going to be unleashed.

" That's... " said the girl, Irina as she sees the boy chanting a Spell into his sword.

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

" Let your Wild breeze cut through and allow me to Slash my enemy with your sharpness... " Duncan prepares the sword and stance as the Beast began to come at him with it's attack.

[ Magic Beast Special Attack: Thunder Tusk Charge ]

* Gigantic Triceratops charges towards Duncan. *

Seeing this, Sergeant Aquilla uses his [Air Slash] to weakened the Beast, trying to slow it down while giving Duncan time to prepare his release.

" Down, Magic Beast! "

" I don't know who your tamer is, but after this, I will make sure they will face justice, fair and square! "

Not just the Sergeant, but suddenly, rock starting to rise from the ground, rising to at least slow the charging beast as much as it can.

[ Ground Magic: Ground Wall ]

" Huh!? " Duncan sees the Royal Girl, Irina Richter holding the Magic Beast, she looks at him, seeing him already prepared a powerful kind of magic attack.

" What are you waiting for, attack it! " Irina says as Duncan sighs, he sees some Logo in the Magic Beast, trying to figure out who it's owner is, but as he hears people still panicking he then decides to just do it.

" F*k whoever own this, then... " Duncan says, continuing the chant he left off.

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

" Allow me, Empower me .. Let me destroy the very obstacle before me ... "

* Duncan shouts as he releases it. *

" <Air Slashing Spirit Thrust, Mantis Scythe>!!! " Duncan releases it and attacks the beast, hitting it hard as it gives critical damage, but not killing it as it only wound and weakened it into the ground.

" *Pant* *Pant* " Duncan pants as he looks around, he sees how the people looking at him, in awe and in fear as he did it.

He began to hear their murmurs, they began to wonder who's their young savior is, which made Duncan annoyed as he began to grow tired.

"( Damn, I forgot to eat, didn't I...? )" Duncan is getting dizzy, the System had already notified him to take a meal or some sort, for hence he left the Orphanage and decided to not go back, knowing it had ties with the Nyx Nocterra House, he decides to leave and found a new place.

Hence, with the money he took during his time in the Orphanage and in the Nyx Nocterra Residence, Duncan used all of it to go to Eliopolis where the country's Capital is, already paying a nice plane and all of the documents to come here, costs so many, making him had few left before this day happens.

" I'm ti... " Duncan falls down, his stomach is munching while he layed weak on the ground.

...

( Hours later. )

[ 3.45 p.m. ]

The situation had been cleared, many were treated and taken into the nearby medical facilities while the Knights are investigating the owner of the Magic Beast that fled away during the scene.

" Let's make him pay for what he's done! " said Sergeant Knight Aquilla to his Knight Subordinates.

" Even if he's a Royal, he will still... " he grunts as he recognizes from which royal the owner came from the Logo in the Triceratops' body.

While he orders and leave with his Knights, Sergeant Aquilla then sees Duncan and Irina who were talking under the tree Duncan was earlier. He sees them, especially Duncan, setting his eyes on him but decides to leave for duty calls.

[ Under the tree. ]

" You did well, I never thought I would find a boy who had such power in your age. " Irina says to Duncan while Duncan looks at her.

"( Irina Richter..., Richter... )" Duncan thinks as she talks to him.

As Duncan looks at her while eating the bread Irina brought for him, Irina then sees Duncan's face and senses his Mana, realizing that it seems Duncan is more powerful than he looks.

" Your Mana... " Irina suddenly mentions.

" You told me earlier that you don't belong to any Royal House, right? " Irina asks which Duncan shakes his head.

" The family name's 'Grimshaw'..., from the name it didn't sound Royal, does it? " Duncan asks sarcastically while munching the bread.

"( Delicious, still not good as the ones in the Nyx Nocterra, but good. )" Duncan felt relieved as his tongue tasted it.

" Grim...shaw...? " Irina thinks about the name.

" Hmmm...? "

" The family name sound like a barbarian family though... " Irina answered which made Duncan scoffs, feeling triggered for a while.

After some time, Duncan begins to know that Irina came from the Richter House, one of the Royal Houses in Elysium Haven Country as she told him all while the two talked leisurely.

As the two kids talked, a man alongside his knights then come, asking the people about his daughter.

" Excuse me, excuse me... "

" Do you knights see my daughter, Irina Richter? " said the man who was actually Hector Richter, Irina's Father.
