Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 27: Shadow Cry

For hours, Donovan cried as he has still blinded thanks to Rodrigo's relic while knowing he was being separated from his parents by a guy he didn't know where he came from.

" HUWAAA LET ME GO! " Donovan angrily cries as he shouts his demands while summoning sum Black Shadow Minions in order to disturb Rodrigo.

For many minutes, Donovan's actions gradually decrease Rodrigo's patience Rodrigo then decides to throw him up and then knock him away to the ground which somehow, Donovan miraculously survives even though he lost many HP.

< CRIT HIT >

< User HP - 50.900 >

< Passive Skill Activated >

< Shadow Reclaim >

< Black Shadow Minions -3 >

< Full Absorb 3 Black Shadow Minion >

< Black Shadow Minion will be put back into the System Space's Drop Zone >

When he does that, Donovan immediately heals as he absorbed the HP from his Black Shadow Minions via his Passive <Shadow Reclaim> which enables him to not just create or summon his black shadow monsters (which he also automatically empowers), but also can fully absorb the minion's very HP since the Black Shadow Minions are just his base Black Shadow summons.

< HP +27.400 >

After Donovan's HP was healed a bit, He then uses the < Sharp Blade Dagger > again while ordering his Black Shadow Minions to help him.

As he charges at Rodrigo, the opponent himself then attacks him using his magical ability <Rock Slasher> classifying him as an earth-based magic-user.

The magic itself was done using Rodrigo's uppercut slash which makes large friction from the ground, followed by suddenly rising rocks that charge at Donovan's location which two of the minions had to sacrifice themselves in order to protect their very master.

< Black Shadow Minions -2 >

< Black Shadow Minions remained: 45/50 >

< Black Shadow Minions -1 >

< Black Shadow Minions remained: 44/50 >

Even though Rodrigo managed to kill some of the Black Shadows, the rest then captures him as Donovan then use the ability that his mother taught him.

< Zweihander Woge >

As he says that, Donovan uses the ability by spelling it right this time, even though he doesn't like saying that.

"( Mommy, why does the ability's name this hard? )" Donovan thinks while slashing at Rodrigo as it deals a CRIT HIT at the time which deals away 37,5% of his HP.

< HP -176.250>

< Rodrigo HP: 293.750/470.000 >

" Damn you !!!!! " Rodrigo shouts as Donovan slashes his stomach while his limbs are being held by his minions which angers him for this is very embarrassing for him, for being hurt by a boy who just recently learned swordsmanship.

"( I did it! )" Donovan thinks but suddenly his celebration runs short, for he now faced the real deal Rodrigo now goes into his serious mode for he had enough of Donovan's play fight much longer.

" You brat!! "

" It seems I have underestimated you so easily which made you have the chance to remind me with this scar !! "

" Since you're young and as an old man that likes strong children, I must congratulate you .. "

" Well done !!! "

" BUT STILL!! " Rodrigo says as he then unleashes his mana aura which then empowers him to break free from the minions' hold for he then uses his earthly strength to destroy many Black Shadow Minions within his range.

As he does that, he then sets his eyes on Donovan he then startled as he was mistaken when preparing his still untrained sword battle stance as Rodrigo easily breaks his defense.

< Defense Breaker >

< DMG +20% >

< HP -120.000 >

As it happened, Donovan then was sent far away as he was knocked into a nearby tree which stunned him for the moment as his little child body is unable to hold such environmental DMG

< HP -9.000 >

< Stun Effect Applied >

" I ... t .... hur ..... ts ..... " Donovan says as his remaining minions try to stop Rodrigo from coming near him.

< Black Shadow Minions -1 >

< Black Shadow Minions -1 >

< Black Shadow Minions -1 >

As Donovan's sight slowly goes vague, he then hears those voices again, a voice of memories from an unknown source as it always comes during these times as if this memory belongs to Donovan himself which made him sometimes wonder if these memories come from another source like the System also told him, but sadly the System doesn't seem to able providing him with the required data.

When he remembers those things, those vague memory voices spoke to his mind again.

" The Black Shadows are dissipating ... "

" I shall sacrifice them to increase my own Status ... "

" But .... "

" If I did that, then the cooldown for me to summon the Black Shadows will be much longer than before ... "

" I need to find a way ... "

" I need to find a way to increase my shadow's strength ... "

" Making them stronger ... "

" Gaaahh ....!!!!! stop !!!!! " Donovan cries while his Minions protect him from Rodrigo as he cries asking the voices to stop.

Seeing Donovan's actions, Rodrigo then wastes no time discarding the Black Shadow Minions from his presence as he then launches himself towards Donovan, until ...

*CLANK*

" What the !!!??? " Rodrigo asks as Tusks comes out from the ground.

...

" Ground Tusks !!!!!! "

" Don't tell me !!!! " Rodrigo says as from behind him, he sees a woman silhouette as the person then comes to his place.

The woman approaches, with a bloodied body while also bringing a man behind her very back which is Duncan.

" Hey there, Donnie ... " the woman says which Donovan then cheerfully calls her.

" Mommy !!!! " he says from afar as the angry Irina then looks at Rodrigo.

" Ro .. dri ... go ... " she says as she then uses her magic to create an <Ground Cube> to shield and blind Donovan as she believes that him seeing this is unnecessary.

After she does that, Rodrigo then asks how she can even regain herself for he and his men have already given that drug to her which will make her Dragonic Possession unstoppable.

" How is it possible? how can you negate the effect of the <Dragon Blood Drug Potion>? " Rodrigo asked.

..

" <Dragon Blood Drug Potion> ..? is that the name of the very thing that one of your men gave me in my battle earlier? " Irina says as she briefly remembers that one of Rodrigo's men managed to shoot her some kind of a Dart Arrow which she believes to be when the Potion was injected upon her.

As she remembers that, she then decides to pat Duncan's head who was hugging her on her back while she prepares her magic by jailing both her and Rodrigo using her <Area Alter Magic>

" *< Area Alter >, " Irina says as she alters the area between herself and Rodrigo as she planned to kill him there.

" Rodrigo .... "

" You have ruined my night and my family on this very day .... "

" With that, you will pay everything with your very life. " Irina says while doing her Area Alter Magic.

_________

* Area Alter Magic:

Magic that alters an area to the user's liking as if it was the user's Domain.

note:

Basically, this magic works like a Domain Expansion but this ability can only be used by the Royal Houses members in this city, not used by common people.

So even there's a common person that has a lot of mana, and a has a great amount of skill. There's a chance the person will be able to do it on his own but this Technique has to be perfectly learned by a master that comes and still had ties with the royal houses which is hard to ask since the Royal Houses vow to never share the technique's secret outside their own circles.

Also,

This kind of magic is a type of magic that drains the user Mana gradually, for this magical ability had to deal with the concept of space and dimensions, a concept that no mere humans should intervene or misuse for their own gains which the effect actually can be minimized if the user is already strong and ready enough to perform it.
