Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 22: Black Night (2)

On this black night, the whole room in the villa covers the sleeping personals in there as in the third floor's room, the room near the balcony, Duncan, and Irina both are still sleeping as the darkness prevents their body muscles from waking up and increases their sleep.

As if they know, it seems that without their request, a few of the Black Shadow Minions that Donovan unknowably summons are there guarding them as one of them stares at their hands as they somehow get more powerful.

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

....

As they see that in the System, the minions still watch the couple closely as their black shadows somehow act like a sound curtain that prevents any outside sound to burst into their ears as they probably want them to sleep well.

Meanwhile, despite his parents still sleeping, Donovan starts to slowly open his eyes as he sees that some of his minions are with him while he sees the EXP Gathering in his Interface.

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< Congratulations, you Level UP >

< Congratulations, you Level UP >

" What ....? " Donovan asks as he is just barely awake while the System informs him many things about the current condition.

< Current Status >

< User Name: Donovan 'Betzalel' Richter Grimshaw >

...

" What happened ..? .... System? " Donovan calls for the System as the system then shows that the Black Shadows had helped him increase his level while he's asleep since the <Black Shadow Minions> skill's Passive Skill has been unlocked during his training in the System Space where the system using it's recommendation giver and adjustment calculation authority decided to unlock the Passive since it gives Donovan the most benefit.

< Passive Skill: Initiative (LVL.2) >

< This skill increases the Black Shadows' autonomy and allegiance to protect the User, including the loved ones. >

" Wow ... " Donovan says as the System tells him that, while unbeknownst to him, the Black Shadow minions that he unknowably summons, the black shadow creatures that have the same height as a teenager boy (since it is made based on the lesser monsters) is eliminating all threats in the darkness, even though the attackers use light to help them see their attackers.

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

< EXP Gather +1.000 >

...

" I see ... " Donovan says as the System shows that there is only one opponent left that needs attacking while the Black Shadow Minions continue to attack the guy which of course that act decreases Donovan's MP just a minute after he leveled up.

< MP -2.000 >

< MP -2.000 >

..

" Oh no, my MP ...!!!!! " Donovan shouts as he asks the System should he discard the minions and wake his parents instead.

< LOADING LOADING LOADING >

< I believe that is not necessary for now, User Donovan. > the System says as the scene changes where the Group 3 Leader is defending his own life as he bleeds heavily due to the Black Shadow Minions attacks.

" Shit, they actually stationed familiars in this place!!!!!!? " he shouted as he was on the comm which makes the main leader can hear him as he then asks what the familiars looked like so he can quickly alter the plan and take time to bring some support before they break-in.

" What is it? what did you see, Pete!!!? " he says to the Group Leader, calling his name as the Group Leader is very overwhelmed since he never expected to fight these kinds of familiars before.

" I don't know, Main Leader ... " he says while blocking an attack.

" What I see here is that the creatures are black and adapt well in the dark. "

" So what ...!!!?? "

" Turn on the lights, you idiot ... why didn't you .. ohhhh!!!!! " the Main Leader remembers as he forgets that their initial plan is to do it silently as Group 3 was ordered to sever the electricity before doing their tasks.

" Oh by the GODS .... this is NUTTSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " the Main Leader says as his own plan turns back at him.

" What are we going to do, Main Leader? " said the second group leader while the Main Leader then holds his comm-link and thinks.

" Hmmmm .... " he hums.

After a few minutes, the Main Leader then approaches the device in his ear as he hears the Group 3 Leader's breath getting heavy since he can't take it anymore.

" Main ... Leader ... ..... " he calls him faintly.

" Your ... orders ....? " he asks as the main leader then looks at the others and says.

" You have done well, Peter ... " he says.

" Lord Ardun and the rest of us from his fraction will take note of your job. " the Main Leader says as Pete then was heard to be killed by the Black Shadows that attacked him as the communication was severed.

" Main Leader ...? " the Second Group Leader says as the Main Leader then tells them.

" Forget the whole plan .... " he says as he then approaches the remaining ones that still stayed in their place.

" As we can see ...., it seems that our enemies have some ... a surprising defense mechanism, in their place ... " he says.

" Our Warblade Guild, in their base belief .... "

" Believes that War ... has to be won by great strategies ... " he says while looking to the remaining members of Ardun's fraction.

" But to us, to us that follows the 4th Guildmaster Ardun Reyroad ... "

" We shouldn't have wasted our time thinking of those difficult strategies or whatever ... "

" Our comrades, fallen ... comrades... battle earlier, had proved to us. "

" The very inefficiency of the Warblade Guild's base belief and they now had to pay for the consequences," he says which made the whole members close their eyes as they mourn the fallen.

" But let these losses teach us, teach us to be different from them, teach us that in order to win, we must solely focus on defeating the enemy not on how we should do it. "

" For our idol then states that the ones who are glorious in the war are the ones that strike the enemy not the one who prepares the whole thing ....!!!! "

" And let those words now become true ...!!! " the Main Leader says as he unsheathes his sword.

" As for now, we will use no more strategies .... and just do what our fraction do in battle !!!!! "

" Do you all agree !!!!!!!!!??? " the Main Leader shouts as the whole people there shouts.

" We ALL AGREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " they all say while giving some salute to the Main Leader while one of them is having some comm with an unknown person.

" Ma'am is my report clear to you ..? " the shady person asks.

" Indeed, so the fools now decided to finally follow the ways of their beloved oh no ... "

" Deceased Leader ... ufufufufufufu ... " she says while pausing herself for a bit as she smiles.

" Fine then, prepare your devices to record the whole thing ... and make sure that the battle is shown in high-resolution in order to make the others believe how idiot this fraction to the whole guild," she says.

" As you wish, mistress ... " the person says while turning off his comm as he prepares the devices to do his job.

( At the same time. )

As Donovan sees those weapons that were presented before him, he then sees that the weapon can be used in his current level as he then picks the most recommended one to be equipped.

As he equips it, the Long type dagger fits into his hands as he tries to use it while practicing it with himself as he then smiles, while the Black Shadow Minions then was alarmed as they hear a Bam on the main door on floor 1.
