Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 258: Showing You

[ EliCastle, Camelot Vault ]

" Princess Alexandria? " said the guards, seeing the princess coming into the vault at night time.

" Is there a problem? " the Princess asks, already coming in with her gown, while slightly looking at the ground.

" No, princess, it's just... " The guards looked at each other, wondering.

" You know the rules, we can't just let you in without any inspection, even the King himself... " the guards tell her.

" It's the King's orders, we can't... "

" Farewell, dear Vault Guards. " Princess Alexandria agrees with them, without any resistance, whatsoever, she lets them inspect her using a Magic Scanning Device that was meant to inspect her.

While being inspected, Princess Alexandria saw parts of her shadow move into one of the guards, evading the inspection process as it leaps behind the shadows, further away from the princess.

"( Hmph, how convenient... )" she says to herself, seeing it left her while she had to undergo such inspection despite her being a 'Princess'.

( Minutes later. )

[ Camelot Vault, 4th Section. ]

The door opens, and as the princess enters the place, she immediately sees the shadow who returns to his physical form.

" You really can go wherever you want, can you? " she asks him, as Draven leans on the nearby wall, filled with decorations of weapons.

The System Scans, as Draven decides to touch one of it, a sword made from rock, but is an S-Rank weapon, identified by the System.

" < Arondight (S) > " Draven touches it, he could feel great ominous power from it, it's like.

" The Aether... " Princess Alexandria says it to Draven making him stare at her and give her a mean look.

< [Item: The Sword of the Spirit, Arondight ] >

< Item Class: SS >

< Type: Sword >

< The sword that belongs to one of the 'Knights of the Round Table' of the Ancient Mythical Kingdom of Camelot, Lancelot. >

...

< Effect: >

< - [Saber Blade]: This item had great sharpness that enables the User to cut almost anything, increasing the User's ATK ^4. >

< - [Aether Layer]: The blade is being layered with the Aether, as it slays many beings, siphoning the Mana fused with their souls, the Aether, into the very blade, making it more durable and ominous. >

...

" This is Lancelot's... " Draven sees it with awe, but again, he wonders what it has to do with the Aether.

" The Aether is a confusing power, Draven," said Princess Alexandria approaching him.

" Ya knew 'bout it? " Draven asks.

" I do..., back then, the power itself is found by none other than the Great Wizard, Merlin. " Alexandria says, also began to touch the blade's very metal.

" It is said, this energy was found when he tries to enter the 'Realm of the Dead', perhaps skind of a 'Spirit World' of sorts. "

" With this, he mastered so many enchantments, even learning it from a more ancient Enchantress called 'Circe'. "

" Circe...? " Draven asks, suddenly.

< Vague Memory Voices Activated >

< " The 'Aether Enchantress'... " >

" *Gasp* " Draven gasps so hard, that he frantically breathes when hearing it.

" Smemories again? " Alexandria asks Draven, wondering if the legend jogged sof the memories within him.

" Yes, but... "

" Only swords cout..., it has something to do with the 'Enchantress'... "

" But still, to think one would achieve this is crazy, even I still wonder why I can obtain the Aether in the first place... "

" Or perhaps..., it's just... " Draven gulped as he looked at the princess.

" If you want the sword, then just take it... "

" We Avalons never think much of it anyway, none of us could obtain the Aether like you do. " Alexandria says while Donovan is still silent, not sure if he can take it despite the Princess' permission.

" You sure the King himself won't ask if it's gone? "

" The last tI checked, you're the last one recorded on entering this place. " Draven says to her while the Princess only gives him a soft smile, raising her hand, and...

* Poof *

Another 'Arondight' sword appears, in the wall.

" Gah! " Draven was frightened at seeing this, seeing the ssword appear before him, not just a copy for it.

< [Item: The Sword of the Spirit, Arondight ] >

"( Impossible, even it's status is the same, how could- )"

"( Wait, you mean she could recreate another one, it's just like the real one!? )" Draven sees it and gulps at how powerful the Avalon House could be, slowly tilting his head to look at her.

" 'Materialization', one of the Magic Skills that I had. "

" For thanks to the properties of my magic, it even gavethe very 'Eye of Clarion' itself, also enablingto 'Re-materialize' already existing objects. "

" A very powerful ability of course, but it costs so much since I'm still a 'human' like the rest of us, despite sexceptions... " she looks at Draven after saying 'human'.

" Ya flatter me, guess ya still have limits, didn't ya? "

" Now that I already saw sof yar skills, the next thing is to see or know how much Mana (MP) you have in that so-called 'human' body. " Draven asks her, making her chuckle.

" That, will have to wait until the battle of our Academies, Draven... "

" But for now, let us continue further within this very vault. "

" For within that place, is the very thing I want to show you. " Alexandria walks from him, leading the way to their next destination.

A place where the very thing she wants to show to Draven, is a very object sealed using Ten Layers of great magic barriers.

" Behold... " Alexandria starts it, showing Draven a shining ruby-light sealed object, so small but bright and also powerful, for it had to be sealed within many great barriers.

" What is that? " Draven says it as the System goes into an error witnessing it, can't withstand the ruby light.

" This is the secret of our power, the reason why King Arthur ruled with great order in Brittania back in the ancients. "

" The very energy founded by Merlin, from one of his journeys or not, but still... "

" It is a very powerful energy, concentrated from Aether, gathered from a remnant of an ancient power the Great Wizard dubbed as... "

" Chaos Magic. " Alexandria says which made Draven shiver as his mind began to voice things out loud whenever he saw that very crimson thing.

" Cha...os... " Draven touched his eyes, while the Princess, with her very Eyes, sees it with joy, basking in its Ruby-light Radiance.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ Black Merchant's Place ]

" Hey Duncan! " Black Merchant calls him as the man is deep in his sleep.

" You're sleeping at times like this, I thought you said you wanted to dig sthings in the dark since you're having Tenebrae constantly aiming at you. " Black Merchant wonders but immediately leaves him to rest, going outside, and seeing the moon.

" Of all things that have to rise after Ragnarok... " Black Merchant says out of a sudden.Read Web s Online Free - Fire
