Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 233: Spin-Off Vol.2 'Clarent Star ': Crimson Dread Part 2

< Location: Nightcave Dungeon, Crimson Chasm. >

< Quest: Escape to where you came from (350m) >

< This Quest already in motion as the Balrog appeared and break free form it's seal. >

The Black Shadow Beast runs so fast, but still the roar of Drugorath comes closer in each second, alongside the rivers of flames it made during it's steps.

" He's getting close! " Donovan realizes.

" How is it possible, but we already run first? " Charlotte asks.

" Perhaps his wide length of feet gives him a great advantage over this whole ordeal. " Donovan knows that the size of the Balrog helps him on having more wider range on taking a step, making it able to reach them faster than Donovan thought it would.

" I miscalculated him because of his size, thinking the it might be slow, while not knowing if the thing is able to walk with a great length in the first place. "

" Dammit, if we had to face it here... "

< Scanning... >

< Loading... >

"( Dammit, since I can't get a clear look, the System had a hard time scanning it. )"

"( But, based on what I've sensed, I could tell that the thing that chased us is more powerful that both of us combined, even with the help of my Black Shadows. )"

" Dammit, if we had something powerful to defeat it... " Donovan says it out of the sudden, Charlotte who hears it, looked at her completed 'Fairy Glitter Ring'.

" Something powerful... " Charlotte says as she wears it, feeling great power surging within.

" Donovan, I believe... " before Charlotte could say anything, a large bump of step can be heard and gives them shockwaves, throwing them both as well as the 'Black Shadow Beast' they mounted, returning it into the shadows in an instant.

* Balrog Drugorath roars. *

* Fires Blazing. *

< Scanning >

< Target Identified >

< Boss: Balrog of Doom, Drugorath (LVL. 80) >

" Tch... is still part of the Quest!? " Donovan asks as he sees the Quest is still ongoing.

< Quest: Escape to where you came from (301m) >

" Dammit, we're almost near... " Donovan says as he sees it, immediately shooting his Water Magic at it.

< Skill: Water Bullet (Active) -- lvl.3 >

< This skill enables the User to shoot water bullets from the water the User have extracted earlier. >

* Water Bullet evaporates once it lands on the Balrog's skin. *

* Balrog grins. *

" Tch, your entire body is a problem... " Donovan sees it and feels weak, despite having an advantage over the thing.

" Donovan... " Charlotte calls him, throwing at him something which he catches it.

* Donovan catches. *

" This is... "

< Item: [Fairy King's Glitter Ring (SSS)] >

< The complete form of the 'Fairy Glitter Ring', imbues the User with powers of great fantasy. >

"( Can I equipped this? )" Donovan asks as the System tells that this Item is for all Levels.

"( All levels could equip this without a problem, now that's broken... )" Donovan puts it on him, immediately, he felt a great power bursting towards him while the Balrog approaches.

" Donovan! " Charlotte shouts at him, trying to make him focus as the power enters him.

"( I hope this Ring gives something that could make me defeat this thing, that's my only hope for now, I- )"

"( Ah... )"

"( Whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa...! )"

"( I didn't ask this, or did I? )" Donovan wonders, especially seeing his level part, something that he never wished to happen.

" I see... "

" No wonder you wanted this thing so badly, Charlotte... " Donovan says as he uses <Water Bullet again >, this time, the Bullet is so big and the water is bluer than before.

* Balrog surprised. *

" I don't know if this could kill you or not, but I gotta try! "

" <Water Bullet>! " Donovan shoots it as the Bullet hits it like a nuclear bomb of sea water, immediately blasting and flooding the entire place as it happened.

" Whoa! " Donovan gets blasted as he was also drowned by the flood.

But, unlike what he expected, he somehow could breathe underwater, something he never think he could do.

" Where's Charlotte, ah... " Donovan is also surprised as he can talk underwater, he looks at the ring, seeing how powerful it is.

While mesmerized by it, Donovan then look for Charlotte, who is fainted underwater.

" There you are? " Donovan asks as he holds her.

" She's fainted, great goodness.... "

" But still... " Donovan sensed something inside the waters as he swim out, with the Ring's help, he could sensed an incoming Danger as he swim as fast as he could to get into the 'Floating Ground' they came in.

< Quest: Escape to where you came from (180m) >

< Speed Increased 10X >

" You really reacted to what I think about, aren't you, Ring? " Donovan says while looking at it.

" Just what are you, I doubt your maker is so powerful to even make you... " Donovan asks while holding on Charlotte to him, looking at her.

" I don't know why you're searching for this but I could tell this thing could cause Chaos in Elysium Haven, even in the World of Magic. "

" For this very Item is a cheat, one should've existed in the first place... " Donovan tells as he immediately reacted with increased senses, dodging all attacks from behind.

* Donovan looks behind him. *

He sees Drugorath swimming in his pursuit, his flaming body refuses to be evaporated while within the very waters, as his blazing rampage enfuels it.

" Even the Waters of Sea itself couldn't hold you, huh? " Donovan asks himself as he gets closer to the Floating Ground.

" I need to hold him, but... "

" Perhaps instead of Sea Water... " Donovan thinks while again, the 'Ring' response to him.

< The 'Ring' acknowledged the User's wish. >

< The 'Ring' begin to gift something based on the User's specification. >

As the Ring answers to Donovan's wishes, Donovan immediately raise his hand, begin to unleash the very thing he thinks within the very waters.

" Perhaps this is my very nature... "

" Just like the Shadows, I believed this is what my body potentially could do. "

" With this 'Ring' perhaps I should try it! " Donovan unleashes it as the Balrog swim with great rush and blaze.

" < Water Magic: Slime Water>! " Donovan thinks of it as the Ring immediately helps him utilizing the very think he believes could fend the Blazing Juggernaut from the Abyss.

* Drugorath struggles. *

Drugorath can't swim, he is somehow sticked by an invisible form within the very waters, his fires begin to fade, as he didn't get out from water as soon as possible.

* Drugorath roars fire, but it quickly fades. *

While the Balrog is struggling, Donovan quickly swim outside the Sea he made, he swims faster than before and almost comes out, but...

* BOING! *

Donovan's body hits the Water Surface, his body should've splashes out of it like it used to be, but instead, his body hits the water as if was made of a hard elastic rubber wall.

" WHAT!? " Donovan tries to get out, but then he sees the System.

< Slime Water effect | 00:20 >

< Slime Water effect | 00:19 >

" Really now!? " Donovan angers as he sees this.
