Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 87: Tenebrae part 1

*Note: 'Tenebrae' means Darkness in Latin.

...

" Tenebrae!!! " Duncan calls the man as the light fills the place after he destroys the ceilings, making the room open into the sun.

As he calls his name, Agniz who is currently wounded now can see the face of the person she should wipe out, the face of a charming man, with his black hair and red pupil eyes, with his slick eyelashes which makes her almost enchanted or bewitched in the first place, for his magical and miraculous appearance.

"( This guy, is 'Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra'? T.N.N? )" Agniz asks in her mind for her own disbelief after seeing the face of the monstrous person Duncan tells him to be.

"( How can someone tell be the incarnation of Darkness had the most illuminating appearance such as this? )" Agniz says with her eyes glancing upon Tenebrae.

Seeing her eyes, Tenebrae smirks as he then comments, " Oh wow, it seems someone has already changed her perception. )"

" Hahahaha..., Duncan, you fool. "

" You should've not aimed for the skies, for even letting the light enter this very place. " Tenebrae points at Agniz which Duncan sees as he sees her getting mesmerized by Tenebrae's face.

"( Shit, even her!? )" Duncan says in his angered mind.

" Duncan, Duncan, we've been fighting for many years, killing each other at every time using many chances possible back then, remember. "

" After all this time, how could you forget about my greatest asset of gaining people, hmm? " Tenebrae mocks Duncan for being too angered.

" Right, how could I forget, Tenebrae? "

" Your luminous-like face, said by the other Royals that it came from your mother, whom they said to be a being unlike no other. "

" Many have been trying to do some research about you, for your unique existence is always a good topic for those born in the Royal Houses. "

" But still, despite all of that, there are some who know you're true colors... "

" You're true behavior which is why you were named like that, right, the Darkness itself? " Duncan says after he explains many things regarding Tenebrae's crimes.

" That was many years ago, " he replies.

" It seems some always remember one's bad deeds for eternity, isn't it? " Tenebrae smirks as he giggles after hearing what Duncan said.

" Indeed, after all, that you've done is already out of the line, even many of your Royal brethren seem to agree that you are something that couldn't be asked to stop. "

" That's why at that time, the Royal Houses decided to kill with the help of the Hunters. "

" With my help! " Duncan says to Tenebrae.

" Of course they do, those royal brethren will always eliminate those who aspire to be above them. " Tenebrae replies cynically.

" Even if they had to require your help with some rewards in return. "

" Hmm... " Duncan responds as he hears it.

" Oh come on, that's what happened after that day, isn't it? " Tenebrae asks.

" The real reason why the Richter House finally decide to let their first daughter marry you. "

" As a reward for you doing most of the dirty work for them, isn't it? " Tenebrae asks which made Duncan pissed as he attacked him with his sword.

" You Insolent Demon, you really love to pry on everyone in the darkness, didn't you!? " Duncan was triggered for he really doesn't want to hear Tenebrae state the facts right now.

" I'm sorry for the privacy spills, but I can't help but be so interested in the things you've done. " Tenebrae says to Duncan while holding it with his Sword, made from his Dark Magic.

[ Tenebris Gladius ]

Using Gladius, Tenebrae prevents Duncan's blade from slashing him into two, knowing Duncan's capability in using the Wind Magic's Wrath, Tenebrae decided to at least present some of his own capabilities.

" Duncan, it seems your wind is getting more ferocious each time your emotions are swirled. "

" As an evil person myself, usually seeing a person with their emotion swirled means that the person will be easily threatened and manipulated. " Tenebrae says while looking into Duncan's eye.

" But in you, things worked differently, despite you having that obvious weakness, instead of you can be easily manipulated or some sort, I find you quite a difficult one indeed. "

" At first, I thought you might use some kind of enchantment to protect you from manipulation but that's not it. "

" Instead, if I see it more, instead of giving in to your emotions, you often use it to even amplify your own magic. " Tenebrae says which made Duncan stares at him more.

"( Shit, he already get some hint. )"

"( Indeed, since I haven't learned many other buff magic yet, I can only at least use my magic to only strengthen my body and enhance my speed for my sake. )" Duncan says while slashing Tenebrae, trying to corner him in any way using his Air Bullets, Slashes and anything he had in his disposal while having many Mana as his Magic Supply.

"( Despite that, despite my informal way of learning magic from the beginning, I somehow learned an alternative way, gained from some of those who were interested in pre-Ragnarok magic, from those who want to learn the knowledge of old during my pre-Hunter days. )"

"( Thanks to them, I learned some alternative ways to increase the magic intensity, using emotions as an amplifier, an underlooked technique that is often called 'childish' by some people since we were kids, we were all educated to not let our emotions intervene with our use of magic, but after learning that alternative, it seems what our educated teacher taught were wrong. )" Duncan says as he then slashes true toward Tenebrae's sword, shattering it into pieces using his Wind of Wrath.

"( Dammit, his wind. )" Tenebraw was shocked as Duncan not only destroyed his Dark Sword but also slashed the arm that holds it.

"( It whirls like a hurricane yet slashes quickly like a chainsaw! )"

"( Not just that, I only felt the wind come to my hand like a small breeze, so I would never notice that my hand was actually been struck by the bastard! )" Tenebrae thinks to himself.

"( Duncan... )" Tenebrae says to Duncan as he sees him so angry as the air and wind around him just cuts every dust he just made.

" Let's waste no time, Tenebrae. " Duncan just said the word.

" Hearing you talk made me realize how you robbed me of many times. "

" To kill you! " Duncan states to Tenebrae.
