Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 160: Strong Part 3

< Location: Black Shadow Space >

( Back then. )

" Young Master... " Doom asks Donovan at that time.

" Yes, Doom... "

" A moment, please. " Doom requests a moment from Donovan's time, talking to him regarding his role and when Donovan like to Summon him out in the open.

" Hmmm... that's the problem. "

" You know Doom, out of all Black Shadows in the Shadow Realm, you're the hardest to summon. "

" First, Don't forget that I recently leveled you up, making you have more level than Tania, thus increasing your Summoning Cost... "

" Just like Turok. " Donovan says as he compares Doom the newest arsenal, the First Lord Rank in his army Turok.

" But remember, he's the new one and hasn't been upgraded yet, so his Summoning Cost is still lower than you despite him being more powerful. " Donovan says since the Black Shadow he mentioned has a higher Rank than Tania, Doom, Tusk, and Reala who came last as a Black Shadow Elite, this time, she's not a Black Shadow yet, still in the process.

" But still, Doom... "

" I know this is kinda obvious for you but the thing is, your size is the problem. "

" And adding your Summoning Cost really drained me off and as I checked again. " Donovan then shows Doom the System's Screen.

...

< Summon: [Black Shadow Elite II, Doom (+5) ] >

< Level: 88 >

< Magic: Brute Magic, Boulder Magic >

< HP: 888.888/888.888>

< MP: 888.888/888.888>

< Summon Cost: 100.000 AP >

...

" Oh no, master... "

" My cost is that much? " Doom asks.

" Yeah, Doom. " Donovan says to him showing Turok's Summon Cost.

< [Black Shadow Lord, Turok] Cost: 90.000 AP >

Doom sees it with disappointment, knowing that both he and Turok had gigantic size body, even though Turok is bigger, but still, the young Master prefers summoning Turok for his Summoning Cost is much cheaper.

" But don't worry, you're time will come. "

" Especially in the Dungeons, your capabilities as a gigantic-like shadow are needed to fight the bigger monsters. "

" Or perhaps fighting a strong enemy, that threatens Tania's life. " Donovan says to Doom.

" Pardon me, young master? " Doom asks, wondering how did the master know.

" I know, after all, Tania is linked to me, so... " Donovan tells Doom that he knows about his deal with Tania*,

" Do not worry, Doom. "

" I will allow it. "

" For I am certain that you and Tania will be a great pair in this army. " Donovan tells Doom which made him happy.

" Thank you, young master... "

...

( In the Present. )

" Are you weakened, Flame Elf King? " Doom says as he exhales, his stamina and energy were drained so hard when fighting Frigorak.

" Such power... " Frigorak wipes the blood out of his body.

The environment around them is all destroyed, all of them are destroyed by boulders and consumed by flames.

" To think I will get to this, this is new for me. " Frigorak says while looking at Doom and smiles.

" Kekeke... "

" What's so funny, shorty? " Doom asks Frigorak.

" No, it's just. " Frigorak says as he rips his broken scales.

When he broke it, another scale grows from his body, sharper and sturdier than before.

" For years, I've thought myself indestructible, invincible. "

" For my dragon bloodline has passed even into my Elven Ancestry, it's scales protected me in every battle. "

" But now, finally I've met my match. " he clenches his fist.

" A giant being, capable of fighting against me! " Frigorak tells Doom, saying that Doom is the person he begs to exist in his life, a rival that could spark another fire inside him that has been gone.

And that fire inside him is.

" Oh how long I haven't felt this... " Frigorak says to himself.

" The wound of battle, the sheer seriousness of life and death, the joy of blood spraying around my body. "

" I've been longing for this, I haven't felt it since my childhood after getting a great privilege to train with the Elf Emperor army.* " Frigorak smirks.

" Yes, this is what I've lost... "

" Thrill... " when Frigorak says that, a fire can be seen coming out from his skin, it engulfs him and spread around him, making his body filled with flames.

"( This Elf guy...? )" Doom says as he witnesses it.

[ Flame Dragon Descendancy Release: Flame Dragon Skin, Draconius Frigara Hibrida ]

The Flame Elf King's body is now filled with the Dragon Flames from inside his body, his outer parts are all covered with flames, the flames that burn, melt, and evaporate everything it passes while the Flame King walks towards Doom while changing the temperature of the place, the atmosphere.

" Hot, hot. " Doom says as he feels it, despite being a Black Shadow.

" So it has come to this, huh? " Doom says as he then remembers something.

...

(Flashback. )

" Doom. " Donovan calls him.

" Yes, young master. "

" I'm going to upgrade you once more, for the System tells me that you will be granted a new skill per your Upgrade. "

" Are you ready? " Donovan asks Doom as he performs the upgrading process, giving Doom his 6th Upgrade (+6).

< [Black Shadow Elite] upgraded. >

< [Black Shadow Elite] receives a new skill. >

" That's good Doom! " Donovan tells him.

" You should use it sometimes... "

...

( Present. )

Doom remembers it as he then tries to use it, in this battle, the moment when he thinks is right to release the very skill given by his upgrade.

" Thank you, young master. " Doom says as he uses it.

" I've been itching for this to be used. " Doom says his body changes his body wide gets decreased as it gets lean, while his height grows, from his usual broad body to a muscular thread-cut body.

" <Black Shadow Body Alter Mode: Black Shadow Damage Bringer> "

< DEF +44.000 >

< AGI +60.000 >

< SPD +70.000 >

< ATK +80.000 >

< STR +80.000 >

< DMG Rate +68% >

" Grmmh... alright. " Doom says as he exhales, combustion comes out from his body after it gets to the destined shape, the new skill changes him into a body perfect for assault instead of his usual big and broad body that was purposed for defense.

As he changed, he looks at Frigorak as the Flame Elf King looks at him, both of them grinned as they see each other change, for they knew what this moment is.

" There's no time to waste! " the two of them say.

" It's time for us to show our true strengths! " both of them say as they clash again, this time, the clash creates a larger shockwave.

"( Big sister Tania, be okay in the Shadow Realm. )" Doom says inside his mind, swearing to her.

"( For I will... )" Doom says as he remembers Tania.

"( I will... ) Frigorak says as in the moments before the clash he gets more aroused and excited, for the flames itches him more to do the clash with Doom.

"( Victorious! )" the two then again clashed so hard, so powerful that it can be felt in the other battlefield around them.

" Keukkh! this shockwave! " said the Sea Elf Chief as he and his army fights Reala.

" It couldn't be... " he feels the shockwave, knowing what or who did this.

" Frigorak, he's in his peak mode... " he says while closing his eyes while withstanding the shockwave.

" Impossible. " he recounts this, for the shockwave that not only radiates large wind waves and also great combustion heat, can only be done by one Elf who had the pure power of the dragons in his very veins.

" That lizard, if he had to unleash this now, that means... " he says while remembering the last time Frigorak unleashed this, this is done while he was wiping out the Dark Elves back then, in Validur, during the first charge.

" He found his match, in this very place..? " the Sea Elf Chief as he still withstands the recurring shockwave of full bursting heat.

Some Info:

The Black Shadow Army Ranks:

I haven't told you about this part for many chapters but I think this is the perfect time after Turok, Terra, and Torhn were added into the army.

There are Normal Rank, Elite Rank, Commando Rank, Great Rank, and the last one is Grand Rank.

Normal Ranks, are like those usual Black Shadows, their skins are the usual Black and Blue for they come in many numbers.

Elite Ranks, are some advanced Black Shadows that had some particular set of skills, strengths, and intellect which made them able to perform more specific duties. Their skins are the usual Black and Blue, but some of their parts are covered with Bronze armories.

Commando Ranks, are the second-stage advanced Black Shadows that had particularly more capability than the Elites to do Donovan's orders, they are responsible for more army-commanding endeavors. There are no Black Shadows classified in this Rank, but recently, the System told Donovan that Tania and Reala should be the ones raised to this Rank but it was postponed. Their skins are the usual Black and Blue, but some of their parts are covered with Silver armories.

Great Ranks are the first overpowered armies in the Black Shadows, guys like Turok, Terra, and Torhn. This rank is the first overpowered Black Shadows to ever be used, these Great Ranks are the overpowered guys that Donovan would use in full-scale battle, for the guys in this rank are sure to be one-man army type. Their skins are the usual Black and Blue, but some of their parts are covered with Gold armories.

For Grand Ranks, there is no info about this, for there are no particular Black Shadows in this stage.

That is all, thank you.
