Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 122: The Unforeseen Enemy Part 2

Shit, what now!?

Seriously, what's going on!?

A Boss fight at times like this!?

Seriously, why this has to happen when I'm going to win over Carlos...?

Just like the previous battle I had, not in my 'Draven' persona of course, but...

This thing constantly happens, do you want to know what that is...?

The main reason why Carlos won over me, other than his 'Star Magic' talent...

Is...

...

.....

....

Yes, it is what you might think...

'Plot Armor'!!!

Freaking solid and thick 'Plot Armor', out of freaking nowhere.

...

All of us, are technically those characters who can only survive if we had something we could use to ensure our survival, like having some type of Magic, Weapon, Connections and etc.

Like me, most of all, even if I had one 'Plot Armor', it would be still thanks to my overall high level, and my items, not because of some twist of fate.

But Carlos...

He's a freaking cheat.

This bastard is like a 'god' in the world of men, a greater being gifted to defeat any obstacles in his way.

Always had something to back him up, but never I see him struggle to survive, even during our previous fights...

Never...!

Now look, after being defeated, he suddenly gets possessed by something and the one who possesses him had probably the power to kill me in action with ease.

Shit!

Just how chaotic this day is!?

...

"( Shit it's unavoidable then... )" Draven says as he had no choice but to choose the most option he could do.

"( I hope I survive this since whoever '#####' is, the System still couldn't scan it... )"

"( Which means, I could only calculate how dangerous he is to me, using my senses only... )" Draven says since the System couldn't ascertain his opponent's level right now.

"( Very well, since I'm 'Draven' now... )"

"( Then I had no choice but to do it. )"

"( For this persona's own reputation that I need to increase. )" Draven chooses the option.

...

< Option Chosed (!) >

< Option: Fight, and face ['#####'], in order to save Carlos from dying. >

< The User has chosen this, the System predicts that the User couldn't retreat or abandon this Boss Fight. >

< After all... >

...

" So that's your answer. " '#####' says, as he creates a Barrier for both Draven and him, a large barrier that cages them.

" Hmm.... "

" This is the [Severing Space], made from my magic that separates us from the earth entirely. " '#####' explains to Draven as the environment changes inside the barrier.

As the area around them changes, Draven realized something, the place he's in now, the situation he's in right now.

"( The area changes inside the Barrier... )"

"( Then this could mean one thing... )" Draven realized as he knew what he was in right now. No wonder the System predicts that the battle is inescapable.

"( This is an [Area Alter Magic]! )" Draven realizes this as the area around him and '#####' already shifted into an area filled with swords, planted in the ground.

...

< Scanning... >

< Location: Area Alter Magic, Severing Space. >

< (!) Boss Fight Commenced (!) >

...

" Welcome to the [Severing Space]!!! " '#####' welcomes Draven as he claps his hand, to show that the Area Altering is complete.

"( Here it goes then... )" Draven says as he holds his <Aether Blade> handle firmly, knowing that this a fight he couldn't escape.

"( <Doom>, <Tania> can you hear me!? )" he tries using his <Link> with his Black Shadows outside the space but failed as they Sytem tells him that.

< Black Shadows Unavailable >

< Lost connection with the Black Shadows. >

"( Shit, the [Area Alter Magic] already separates us from even communicating!? )" Draven curses at the situation, realizing that he is alone right now.

"( Then I have no choice. )" Draven says as he prepares his battle stance to face '#####'.

" Oh so you're ready then, that simplifies things! " '#####' says as he thanks Draven's response, making him have to skip the introductions.

" Seeing you're responsible, I could only guess you know what is this place, right? "

" It's an Altered Area, a separate area of space made by a great amount of Mana to separate and entrap opponent into a mage's world. "

" I know people who had this kind of magic (mom). "

" It's an ability that no one could use in this very modern time since people rarely had a large amount of Mana. "

" Especially young people, like the body you're taking. " Draven explains which made '#####' smirk.

" You... " '#####' points his finger at Draven.

"You seem knowledgable, aren't you? " '#####' says to and smiles at Draven as he then summons his magic.

[ Sharp Seven Stars ]

Seeing that, Draven was shocked to see it.

"( What magic is that? is that belong to the possessor or this belongs to Carlos? )" Draven wonders as he stares at '#####'.

" Who are you!? " Draven asks to '#####', which '#####' tries to reintroduce his name again but still.

" I told you, my name is '#####'... " '#####' says as he tries to say his name, but for whatever reason, he can't spell it.

" Shit this 'Name Seal' is so annoying. "

" How could I get an ally or whatever if I can't at least tell them my name? " '#####' says as he then prepares the [Sharp Seven Stars]

As he prepares it, he then points the Seven Star Flying Sword-things. to Draven.

Seeing it, Draven prepares himself as the Star was pointed at him.

"( Here it comes! )"

" Hey, Draven..., was it? " '#####' asks him before attacking.

" Remember this magic, [Sharp Seven Stars]...! " '#####' tells him.

" Hmm... "

" Hey don't be confused, I'm giving a clue about my identity here since I can't speak it outright to you. "

" You can find out more about me later,... "

" If you survive... " '#####' says as the star was launched to Draven.

As it happens, the stars immediately strike at him with incredible spit, he barely blocked it as it slits his armor, and slits a bit of his skin, but the damage is critical and that is just one strike of one star.

"( Shit, <Symbiotic Armor>!!! )" Draven says as the armor immediately reassembles itself using its shadows.

As it happens, Draven decides to attack the Stars, slashing it with his <Aether Blade> and using it to fend it off as the stars attack him at full speed.
