Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 132: Personal Things Part 3

" I'm sorry for what my father, did to you... "

" Donovan... " Carlos says to me as he looks at me rubbing my neck.

"( Damn, Mr. Calibur... )" I growl, reminded of what happened earlier.

...

( Hours earlier. )

" You sounded so though, aren't you, boy? " Arthur says to Donovan, he immediately grins as Donovan seems to look normal while facing him, a gesture he founds intriguing.

" Pardon me, sir? " Donovan asks but Arthur stares sharply at him, slowly unleashing some of his Mana Pressure.

" Are you questioning me, boy? the nerve? " Arthur says as he releases probably around 1,25% of his power, calculated by the System.

< Subject [Arthur Calibur] is using [Mana Pressure] >

< The User will experience [Pressure] and [Fear] effect >

"( Oh, you didn't have to tell me, I'm already shivering right now, thanks to Mr. Cali-brat's pressure, of course. )" Donovan says at the time, he instinctively knew that Mr. Arthur Calibur is trying to make him submit, he knew this since he often met him in the banquet from a Royal House's party.

He was always like this, always spreading his pressure in order for anyone to feel his powerful presence and just move away, a sign of his ego of being an ultra-dominant annoying person. Even to other Royal Houses, Arthur Calibur is the difficult type to deal with, despite his powerful presence over the Royal Houses in Elysium Haven, making some dare to at least admire him. But those with brains will definitely try their best to evade him, for this person never show any respect to others, even to other Royal House members.

"( Tch, just ignore the presence, blocking my senses now! )" Donovan says for he then uses the <Block Sense (Active) > skill in order to block any unnecessary sense into his mind and heart, thus preventing him from receiving any emotional or mental damage.

" Mr. Calibur... " Donovan says to Arthur for he just ignores every pressure he unleashed from his body, making Arthur surprised that Donovan managed to talk back to him once again.

" You, you managed to withstand me? " Arthur asks as he realized that Donovan seems to be unhinged right now, despite him increasing the output of his pressure to 14.05%.

< Arthur Calibur [Mana Pressure] Output increased >

" Interesting, even my son usually had trouble with withstanding this, but you... " Arthur says while Carlos sweats so hard just like Carol and all people around the area as they feel Arthur's pressure.

" You somehow strong enough to face me? this piqued my interest, Grandson of Richter House. "

" Even your grandfather, the House's Head still tries his best to prevent me from using this, using his sway of words... "

" But let's not forget that you're not actually came from that weakling's own blood, didn't you, adopted one? " Arthur smirks as he then grips Donovan's neck in his bed, surprising Carlos and Carol who see this.

" Father, what are you!? "

" Silence, boy! I want to confirm something since I'm here! " he says while gripping Donovan's neck.

"( Can't move..., his muscles, too sturdy, it's... )" Donovan says, realizing that even if he had unleashed his total power, it won't still be enough and will just attract many problems, making people have some clue towards his 'Draven' persona that hasn't been in the popular or in the mythical phase yet.

" Big brother Arthur, release him! " Carol shouts to her cousin, she realized that this is wrong, to think her cousin will just storm in and threaten a patient without any hold.

Carol begins to use her [Star Magic] but Arthur immediately pressures her using his Mana, making her unable to use it as his Mana Pressure overwhelms the place.

" You better know your place, halfling! " he says to Carol, his half-commoner cousin, aunt of her son.

" You're shouting to the Calibur House Leader now! " Arthur says while choking over Donovan.

"( Young master! )" Black Shadow Tania feels this through their <Link>, she realized that her master is in danger while she does her job.

"( Young master, I'm coming, hold- )"

"( No! don't come here...! )"

"( Let me... )" Donovan says for he then decides to do something about this.

" I'm... sorry... Grim...dark... " Donovan says, calling Grimdark the Dragon he just met back then, the dragon's astral manifestation he freed from Draco Nyx Nocterra*.

...

< Equip Item: [Grimdark's Memory Shard (SS)] >

< This Shard Crystal, stores the Grimdark Dragon's memories, like all Dragons, the memory shards also contain everything regarding what they do and did in their lifetimes. >

< Note: A Dragon's Memory Shard is a rare and hard-to-find commodity, for if a Mage had it, they will be given not just memories but also knowledge from the Dragons. >

...

" What is that, boy? " Arthur says as he sees Donovan just pull the Shard out of nowhere.

" What is, huh-! " Donovan then uses the Memory Shard, using its power to help him against Arthur Calibur as he gets buffed with a lot of Mana and...

< [Grimdark's Memory Shard (SS)] activated >

< The User will receive the Dark Powers from Grimdark's remain. >

< Skill Obtained [Dark Grim Aura] >

" Grmmhh... " Donovan growls as he activates the skill obtained from the Shard, the Shard gives him the skill the Grimdark Dragon has during its lifetime, making him slowly like it as he used it, the shard.

When Donovan uses the skills, a dark atmosphere then comes, it counters Arthur Calibur's immense pressure for Arthur's heavy and shiny aura is rivaled by a raging and dark aura that Donovan just unleashed.

" Brat, you... " Arthur says as he feels it, he feels Donovan using the Grimdark Dragon's power, making him able to clash Arthur in the battle of pressures, making the others unable to interfere as their senses are jolted from two powerful pressures.

" You son of a-, since when do you have this...!? " Arthur then unleashes more of his power while gripping Donovan's neck whilst Donovan grabs Arthur's hand using his own hand, imbuing Grimdark's power in it to make sure Arthur doesn't grip his neck further.

" Release me, Mr. Cali-brat! " Donovan says this in front of Arthur himself, not in his mind, making those who hear it get surprised as hell for to think Donovan dares himself to talk like that to 'Arthur Calibur'.

< [Dark Grim Aura] dominance over the pressure clash: 45.67% >

< [Dark Grim Aura] dominance over the pressure clash: 49.99% >

...

.....

....

< [Dark Grim Aura] dominance over the pressure clash: 53.19% >

" Keuk! " Arthur grunts as he feels Donovan's [Dark Grim Aura] begin to overpower his Aura, as it happens, he then sees an avatar of a dragon coming out from Donovan's body.

"( This brat, he's a 'Dragon Slayer' too!? )" Arthur says, he never thought that Donovan is a 'Dragon Slayer' just like his grandfather and mother as much as Arthur himself knew.

"( This shouldn't be possible, how did he... hmph! )" Arthur says as he witnesses the Dark Dragon's pressure, it defeats him as it began to affect his body, making his body weak.

< [Dark Grim Aura] dominance over the pressure clash: 69.69% >

< [Dark Grim Aura] dominance over the pressure clash: 70.00% >

< The [Dark Grim Aura] begins to affect Subject [Arthur Calibur], pressuring his senses and emotions. >

< Pressure Given 20.35% >

"( Interesting...! )" Arthur then quickly releases Donovan from his grip, bouncing him back to his Medic Bed.

He senses that he's over-pressured and Donovan managed to threaten him drastically with the dark aura he unleashes.

" Donovan! " Carlos shouts as his body sweats a lot after sensing two overpowered pressures from both sides, it overwhelms him, of course.

As Arthur releases Donovan, Donovan then coughs while unequipping the Grimdark Shard, he returns it to his inventory since it drains his Stamina.

" Damn it! " Donovan says, coughing after snapping out of it in an instant.

"( I still need more time to adjust its power. )" Donovan says while looking at Arthur Calibur, he sees him with sharp eyes, sharper than before.

" Mr. Calibur... " Donovan says to Arthur in a relaxed tone, while giving him a stare.

" Yes, boy...? you seem tired? "

" Had enough? " Arthur asks for he tells that he wants to talk with Donovan but...

" No, your visiting session is over, Mr. Calibur! " Donovan states with a high tone, surprising both Carlos and Carol, along with the others who also reside there.

" Judging from your eyes, I think you've already had no other idea of what to talk about next... "

" And since your very presence already disturbs the others... "

" I want you to leave. " Donovan orders Arthur calmly, without being pressured a bit despite his age and size over the big-ass Calibur House Head, he states it with full enraged mode, but in a calm and controlled one, since he basically had won this round, thus ordering him like a Winner asking a Loser to give up or leave or some sort.

" Leave, Mr. Calibur... "

" You have disturbed people so much right now. "

" You better leave since I knew that you wouldn't say 'sorry' to everyone. " Donovan says, knowing Arthur's high and mighty ego which disables him from saying the word 'sorry' to everyone he talks to, thus in order to ease the tension and return the situation to a peaceful one.

Donovan knows that he must make Arthur leave the place, and currently he had the right to do so.

Arthur listens to this, his ego is ticked but suddenly he realized that he had no right to talk back to Donovan right now, for he knows what happened to him just now.

" Fine then, I will do as you wish, boy. " Arthur says as he prepares to leave Donovan, Carlos, and Carol just watch in awe as Donovan managed to just 'order' him.

"( Donovan, you... )" Carlos can't say anything, he never thought thinks as this will happen he then also looks at his father who happens to look back at him.

" Hmph, I will leave you kids, for now, gotta find some fresh air... " Arthur says as he approaches the door.

" Till we meet again, little cousin, son... "

" Donovan Richter-Grimshaw... " Arthur says his goodbye and leaves everything just that while Donovan keeps staring at him for he is still pissed at his behavior.

...

( Back to the present. )

" I'm sorry for him, Donovan... " Carlos says to me, he recounts what happened just earlier by telling me that it was all his fault for his own cowardice.

But I, knowing full well who's really at fault here, tell Carlos that it's nothing, suggesting Carlos that this is not his fault while I also try to talk to Carol who just froze after it all happened.

"( Oh my, you Caliburs really had a high-tension life, huh? )" I said to myself while trying to calm down the two Caliburs.

"( Sigh... )" I sigh in my mind while trying to ease myself up.

"( What a high-tension day!? )"
