Chapter 227: Spin-Off Vol.2 'Clarent Star ': Nightcave

( Days After. )

[ Dungeon: Nightcave Dungeon (Rare) ]

" Mother says it's around here. " Charlotte says while slashing the Monsters around her.

She used a blade, named with the Great False Son ancestor himself as its inspiration.

[ Magic Plunderer Sword: Mordrake ]

Using the Magic weapon, Charlotte slashes the monsters the monsters with its spike blades.

One monster survives, the wound was shallow and it attempts to attack Charlotte from her blindspot, but.

" I wouldn't move, if I were you. " Charlotte says as the monster suddenly falls down, as some purple thing spread around it's skin.

" If you are at least Sentient, you would realized the Blade is poisonous. "

" It burns your filthy veins like fire that feasts on an oil. "

" Spreading fast as it creates the lake of fire, as well as my Star Magic poisoned your body. " Charlotte tells for that's the think inflicted by her sword.

[ Star Magic: Pure Purge ]

[ Imbuing Star Magic to one's weapon, the magic will enhance the weapon's durability as well as giving an effect to any object it cuts through. Effective against Monsters. ]

The girl destroys the monsters in the Dungeon, as she wastes no time for she wants to find that 'Item', the one her Mother had already cornered its location using her Spell.

" Mother already cornered the location to this Dungeon, no doubt. "

" A secret Item, hidden within the Dungeons. "

" A Relic once used by the Rightful Bloodline, hid in this Dungeon as they persecuted the captured members from the Clarent House during the 'War of the King's Bloodline'*. "

" A Relic that mother hoped can be used to make father accept me. " Charlotte says it while hearing a rumble in the grounds around her.

" This rumbling... " Charlotte then flees from the place she stands, a right decision, for she then witnessed a 'Wyrmdrake', a Dragon Descendant Creature, known to live in the cave.

[ Monster name: Wyrmdrake ]

[ Classification: Rare ]

" Wyrmdrake...? " Charlotte prepares her sword, while the Wyrmdrake just appeared from the ground, she immediately slashes her magic towards it.

[ Star Slash ]

Charlotte hits the head with it, a large explosion happened.

" Did it hit? " Charlotte asks but as the smoke dissipate, she was frightened for the Wyrmdrake survives, immediately attacking her, making her flee from her it as far as she can.

[ Clarent Star ]

Charlotte tries to attack it again, but it dodges as it slither around.

"( The slash wound it but not that deep. )" Charlotte sees the head's wound, realizing that her attack is not enough to make it down.

"( It's too agile to be shot, I need to do this close-range. )"

"( But... )" Charlotte sees the Wyrmdrake's skin, covered with goop that looks so slippery.

"( Disgusting, even the dirt in my pace seems cleaner than this one. )" Charlotte evades the Creature as much as she can, she then decided to use another magic, a magic she charged despite she knew it won't be effective.

"( This is just a feint effort, I hope one of this hits the face. )" Charlotte hopes as she releases it.

[ Star Magic: Star Shower ]

[ A Star Magic Area Attack, can be used to attack 10 targets at once with equal High-Damage. ]

Charlotte showers it towards the creature, since the bullet is many, it hits the Wyrmdrake as it tries to evade it, hitting the face, making worse the Wyrmdrake's earlier wound.

" [Clarent Star]! " Charlotte wastes no time, she releases all her Magic in using this, shooting at the stunned Wyrmdrake who writhes in it's pain, shooting it as it blasted it's very head.

* Wyrmdrake's head blasted. *

* Smoke appears. *

After that, the Wyrmdrake's body falls down, the head releases all of it's blood after the kill.

" *Pant* *Pant* "

" Stay down! " Charlotte orders as she continues on, leaving the Monsters' body, continuing to next path where she then sees a sarcophagus, made from gold.

" Is it here? " Charlotte asks as she then sensed something.

" I knew it, it wouldn't be so easy. " Charlotte states as red eyes shows itself from the darkness, attacking Charlotte who had just arrived.

...

< Level: 32 >

" Ah!!! " Donovan falls into a nearby river.

" Fwagh! " Donovan returns to the surface, swallowing every air exists.

" Oh my, despite my Magic is Water, the feeling to fall from meters away to it still haunts me. "

" Despite Water is called an 'Weak Magic', more to an 'Ineffective One' in battle..., since most of the Magic are supportive type. "

" Those guys didn't know,... " Donovan says while behind him, a large shadow appears from the very waters, coming towards him.

< Warning (!) >

" Hah, I'm right... " Donovan says as he realizes.

" Water is a Scary Place. " Donovan sighs.

"( I hope I had dad's Wind Magic at times like these. )"

"( At least I could had dominance over the skies in the most unfair situations. )" Donovan hopes while wondering what is his dad doing at times like these.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ Richter House Meeting Place. ]

" Atchoo! " Duncan sneezes.

" Hey, don't sneeze over my freaking chess! " said Hector Richter as the two play chess.

" O c'mon, it doesn't spread around and making it dirty, right? " Duncan asks as the chess itself is made purely with White color.

" Seriously, Duncan...? " Hector asks him.

" Just how much of a commoner are you? " Hector asks him while Duncan responds.

" Do you think my germs will infect these chess piece or something? " Duncan wipes his snot using his finger, while Hector ordered the maid to give him a tissue.

" Yes, you gross barbarian " Hector cusses Duncan while mentioning him being a barbarian who laid his hands and possessed his daughter as his bride.

" That's racist. " Duncan replies his father-in-law.

" Like the f*k I care! " Hector crudely replies.

" You may accuse me with your stupid accusations, I don't care anything about it, none! "

" Besides, after hearing Irina is pregnant, I become wary for both of your future. " Hector says as he tells Duncan it, which Duncan knows what it is.

" The Richter House is awaiting a 'Great Heir' from Irina, didn't they? " Duncan asks Hector, he knew so much about this problem.

" After we adopted 'Donovan', the Richter House is still in havoc because of our decision. "

" Some are open, some are not. "

" They even forced us, confronting us on open space during one of the Royal Banquets. "

" Openly forcing us to make a 'son', a real one this time. " Duncan sighs while checkmating Hector.

" Checkmate, father... " he tells Hector that.

" How are the odds it will be a son, Duncan? " Hector asks but Duncan tells him that it's still not that clear, the gender result.

" If it's a son then I'm grateful... " Hector says.

" If it's a daughter... " Hector facepalm his head, his mind is getting more stressful to the other members' demands.

Duncan think of this, but then.

" Father! " Duncan suddenly calls him.

" What is it? "

" You want a way to persuade the other Members, right? "

" I don't know if this will work, but... " Duncan explains to Hector is idea, an idea Hector agreed in the most uncertain thought possible.

" That could be, but I doubt many will be pleased. "

" O, they will be pleased. "

" After all, I'm not just extending Donovan to us alone, but to all other members. " Duncan tells Hector, which made him understand his motives.

" A sneaky move, no wonder that Demon, Tenebrae even falls to you. "

" But, let's hope for the best first, shall we? " Hector says it while sighing hard.

"( This is the only way, Donovan... )"

"( I hope you can forgive me, but if you don't... )"

"( I'll accept it gladly. )" Duncan says as he did it for Donovan himself, being in the vulnerable position in the Richter House itself.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ EXP Obtained ]

" It's clear... " Donovan says as defeated the boss and fully fill the half of his Current EXP Meter.

As he walks forward, he then sees a battle, corpses everywhere as he could also hear the monster screams.

" Hmmm? " Donovan stops, while seeing the battle, he also sees a robed person, killing the Monsters with her magic, a dazzling light magic as the girl defeats them while her glowing blonde golden hair comes out, dazzling Donovan's eyes as he sees her.

" Ah! " Donovan says as the girl finishes it.

The girl looks at Donovan and realized him being there, her blindfold is open, revealing her 'Magic Eyes' towards the Child From the Dungeon.

" You!? "
