Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 23: Raging Earth (1)

As the remaining Warblades do their full attack, the sound of the explosion can be heard around the house as it somehow wakes both Duncan and Irina up, making the Black Shadow minions that guard them have to hide in the couple's shadows since they were probably ordered to evade the couple's sight somehow.

" What just happened? " Duncan asks as Irina also wakes beside him as they hear that explosion.

Being heavily trained in this kind of situation, the two immediately suit up and rush downstairs as they see that there are some unknown men that come into their house.

" Who are you guys !!!!!!!!!!!!??? " Irina says as she uses her magic <Ground Quake> to blow some of the attackers away.

Seeing that, the Main Leader then tries to attack her with his <Mana Slash> as Duncan then blocks it with his wind.

" Thanks, Honey !!! "

" You're welcome !! " Duncan says as he then looks at the Main Leader which he then notices.

" You !!!! " Duncan realizes who that is.

" Rodrigo !!!!! " Duncan calls the Main Leader's name which made Irina shocked as she immediately asks if Duncan knows who that is.

" Of course, I know who that is ... "

" This guy is the Ardun's most trusted henchmen, especially in terms of assassination and of course ... " Duncan points his blade at him.

" Persecution !!!! " Duncan says which shocks Irina since she never knew there are things like that in the Hunters' world which shocks her very much Duncan then tells her that this kind of thing is common among Hunters as the Hunter Guilds often use violence to increase their power in the Association.

" Of course, Knight Lady Irina ... " Rodrigo says as he tells her that the Hunters' world is different than the knight's world as he tells her that, unlike the knights that worked with honor, the Hunters worked for power, the very thing that keeps getting them forward.

" And because of that, we Hunters will do anything to maintain and restore that power, Knight Lady !!!! "

" That power that your husband stole from us by killing our 4th Guildmaster !!!! " Rodrigo says to Duncan as he prepares his greatsword as he uses the same stance as Ardun back then.

Seeing that, Duncan also prepares his stance while looking around as he also tries to prepare his orb.

As the two stances, the place went silent as both powerful men prepare their attack the silence then ends as Rodrigo starts attacking which was then parried by Duncan using his <Wind Upperslash> as he launch Rodrigo's greatsword away into the upper floor.

Seeing that, Rodrigo then tells the others to attack as they did just that Irina then decides to use her <Rock Shield> as she protects both Duncan and herself from the incoming magic while seeing Rodrigo escape to the upper floors to retrieve his weapon.

" Deal with them, I will return on the minute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Rodrigo says as he then also asks some of his men to come with him and the men then follow him.

As the henchmen are running into the upper floors, they then pass by a dark alley that actually resides some Black Shadow Minions who decided to watch over them.

Meanwhile, both Duncan and Irina then fight the remains of the Warblade Members as Irina then uses her skill to slay many of them because she was very pissed by their very presence.

" No no wait !!!! " one of the henchmen says before being slain by Irina as she was really pissed off.

Seeing that, the other henchmen panicked as they never thought that Irina would be that fierce as she then stares at them.

" Whose blood wanted to wants to paint my blade next? " she says as she spreads the blood into her blade, coloring it red as she stares at them angrily.

Seeing that, Duncan tries to calm him down but was met with angry sharp eyes as Irina angrily tells Duncan to go upstairs which Duncan quickly understands after seeing his wife's mood.

" Roger that, my dear Knight Lady !!! " Duncan shouts.

"( Oh shoot, she's on it again !!!! )" Duncan flees, leaving Irina angry as she then decides to use her <Ground Wall> skills to block the exit which made the Warblade guild member confused as they mocked her.

" Ahahahaha.... are you stupid, Mrs. Knight? "

" Why are you blocking your own exit while you're .... uhh ... " the henchmen startle as Irina stares at him while gripping her sword very hard as she raises it up to attack.

" Uhmm ... surrounded ... " the man says as the scene then quickly changes.

.....

( Meanwhile.)

" Main Leader, Rodrigo .... I bring bad news ... "

" From our men below, they ... "

" Shut up !!!!! " Rodrigo says while pulling his sword from that was tucked on top of the room as he uses his strength to pick it up.

" Graaggghh !!!!!! " Rodrigo shouts as he finally picks it.

After picking it up, he then sees that Duncan is following him which made Rodrigo have to change direction as he then straight to a room that is...

[ DONOVAN'S ROOM ]

As he comes to the room, he notices that the room belongs to the rumored baby, Donovan that the people are talking about as he then goes in to retrieve him which makes Duncan mad as he sees a glimpse of him going to enter while he jumps to him.

" Rodrigo !!!! " Duncans shouts but was immediately attacked by Rodrigo's men that he brought to guard him, Rodrigo, himself now enters Donovan's room as he sees Donovan is on his bed, partially tired.

" There you are ... "

" I've been looking for you ... " Rodrigo says as he sees the little black one still feel sleepy.

" So you are the rumored Black Child ..., aren't you? " Rodrigo says as he proceeds to approach Donovan.

But, in just seconds, he then begins to prepare his blade and he immediately sees something behind Donovan that made him scarred as he quickly notices something.

"( Those things ... )" he says while looking at Donovan as he can see those things put their hands in front of him.

Seeing that, he then realizes about the Richter family has some sort of defense familiars that will kill anyone who dares to enter without permission which he then understands what is it that kills his men earlier.

" You Black Bastard !!!! "

" I knew that something is strange here since I know from the start that the Richter family doesn't have any particular magical familiar, not at all !!! "

" Especially Duncan who is known to actually suck at taming animals !!!!! "

" It makes sense now !!!!!!!!!! "

" Our men's death earlier. !!!! "

" It was caused by YOU !!!!! " Rodrigo says as he prepares his blade.
