Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 155: The Fateful Battle Part 1

( Years ago. )

[ Validur ]

The Dark Elf General Tania Darkmoon is running towards the castle of Validur, during the ravaging war that happened in the very region of the Dark Elf Kingdom.

As she runs, she sees Flame Elf Armies in the way, worse even, there are other Elves of the Day, whose armies were allied with the Flame Elves at that time, also were seen inside the castle by Tania.

" MOVE!!! " Tania says as she slaughters many of the Elven armies using her powers and prowesses.

" Your majesty, please be safe... " she prays for the Dark Elf King and Queen's safety, for she had seen many of the enemy inside the castle, which means, they'd been overrun.

As she gets closer to the throne chamber, she then stops for she senses a powerful display and release of Mana, inside the very Throne Chamber.

" This power... " she says while shivering.

But as she shivers, the priority still comes first, the safety of their Majesties of the Dark Elf Kingdom. The priority made Tania get over the shivering as she decides to take an alternative route.

Through the vents.

" Thank goodness, my body is suited for things like this. "

" Guess it seems having less armor despite being a general kinda helps after all. " Tania says that she is not into a fully armored type warrior herself, for her battle is mostly for speed and agility, hence why her weapon is daggers.

As she went into the vents, she crawled inside it until she reached her destination, using her agile body, her movements inside can't be heard outside, as she then gets to her destination without any trouble, but...

When he reached the end of the vent, she then feels the powerful Mana Presence.

"( Your Majesties... )" Tania says to herself as she senses her King and Queen's Mana Presences are being overpowered by the other three powerful presences she sensed.

"( This presence, it can't be! )" Tania says but still hold herself for she knew charging it would be suicide, she decides to stay inside the darkness, using the covering darkness to hide her while looking at the thing that happened in the throne room.

" This is the end, King of filths and impures... " the Star Elf King says as he shoots the Dark Elf King with [Star Wisp Lances].

" My King! " the Dark Elf Queen shouts as she sees it, she uses her [Dark Magic Shield] to block the attack.

" My Queen, move aside, do not- "

" It's alright my dear beloved, I- "

" NO!!! MOVE!!! " the King shouts as she sees a 'Star Wisp Lance' piercing through his Queen's very shield.

" NO!!! " the Dark Elf King was enraged, for he and his queen are both at their weakest after being constantly drained and also...

" You two had gone old, King of Dark Elves... " said the Forest Elf King (who was alive at that time) to the Dark King, he comments how age has rotten the King and the Queen, making them very easy to defeat.

" Curse you, Forest King! " said the Dark Elf King as he then unleashes his Dark Elf Magic.

[ Dark Elf Magic: Dark Destroyer Ghast Summon ]

" Wha the...- " the Forest Elf King was immediately punched by the Dark Elf King's summon, the Dark King is old, hence he couldn't move around more freely despite him having a lot of magic skills and spells.

But still, his enemies already overpowered him in those areas and also had more advantage in their physical prowess for they are younger than both him and his queen. Because of that, he had no choice but to unleash the Summon he tried not to summon despite knowing how to do it.

"( My King, no! )" Tania says while crying in the dark, she sees the summoning and knows what kind of monster her King just summoned.

"( No, my King, not that... )" Tania cries.

"( The 'Dark Destroyer Ghast'*, it's a spiritual monster being the Dark Elves tried to weaponize for years... )"

"( By summoning it from its realm, using our Summoning Spell imbued with our Dark Power, we summoned the most destructive monster ever seen. )" Tania explains in her mind, she witnessed the appearance of the Ghast, which had a look of a smoke cloud with tentacles sprouting from it and it can shoot Dark Blasts.

"( But with a cost... )" Tania says as she sees her King looking at her, in his position, he notices her while the Summon is rampaging, ravaging the enemy leaders who entered his Throne Chamber.

While seeing her, the Dark Elf King says nothing, he doesn't seem to be angry at his general who was hiding in the dark rather than helping him, but instead, he smiled at her, giving her a praising smile as if Tania did the smartest choice by hiding.

" My King... " Tania says as she sees it from her location, crying as she sees it.

As the King smiles, one of the Ghast's tentacles then stabs him, stabbing the King and then pulling it into its mouth, as it feeds upon its summoner.

" It ate him!? " the Star Elf King says as he sees this, he was scarred when he sees it and then unleashes his full magic attack, increasing its output to make sure the Ghast is heavily wounded.

The Forest Elf King also joins as he uses his [Forest Spirit Summon], using it to fight the Ghast equally.

But the Ghast Summon overpowers them, overpowering them as it already consumed the Dark Elf King, while its other tentacle began to pick the Dark Elf Queen which means.

"( Her majesty is also its summoner!? )" Tania shouts in her mind as she sees this, realizing that both their Majesties had sacrificed themselves by trying to summon the most difficult summon to control.

For if the Summoner fails to control it, it could be dangerous for the Summoner for the Ghast could consume the Summoner to maintain its summoning existence over the realm he was called.

Now the Summon had consumed the Summoner, it granted a full ticket for it to rampage around the very place it was called without fearing the summon return activation that could return it to its origin.

As it was gone rampage, suddenly the place is filled with fire.

" You have gone very senile, Dark Elf King... " said the person who filled the place with it's fire, commenting the Dark Elf King as he can see him inside the Ghast's transparent-like body.

" Depending on a summons to fight us, how disgraceful of you, I lose respect... " the guy says, mocking the King.

" Frigorak! " the Forest Elf King calls the person's name, Frigorak, the Flame Elf King, who was in his thirteen years as an Elven King.

the Flame Elf King then creates a rampaging fire using his magic and then creates a gigantic fire sword which made him destroy the Ghast with his full might, using his explosive and obliterating Flame Magic,

" Good riddance to him, finally the Dark Elves are vanquished. " the Forest Elf King says, praising the Flame Elf King who is currently shirtless right now, as his chest plate and other upper halves are burned.

" Of course, Forest Elf King. "

" I have been given a new power by the Emperor... " the Flame Elf King proudly says.

" With this power, I could even destroy a Ghast... "

" And with this- "

" Grrhh! " Tania suddenly came out of nowhere and wounded the Flame Elf King, slicing his uncored body which give him a remarkable wound.

" Flame Elf King! " the other Elven Leader shouts as they see it, seeing Tania continues to attack the Flame Elf King with surprise.

" DIE!!! " Tania says as she attacks the Flame Elf King from the front after she injures him in his back.

...

( In the present. )

Validur, the Dark Elves Region.

The Dead Kingdom in the Valleys of the night, once protected by the Dark Mountains and its forests.

The place was once burned and purged by the flames and light, by the Elves of the Day that try their best to purge what is dark and night.

Thus, Validur became a battlefield, the graveyard of many Elves who fought for their beliefs.

Now, Validur becomes a battlefield once more.

But this time, things changed, on both sides.

" What happened to you, General Tania? " the Flame Elf King says as he looks at Tania.

He is certain that the woman before him is the Dark Elf General he met back then, but this time, she looks different.

" What happened to you, Dark Elf? " the Flame Elf King asked Tania while raising his greatsword upon her.

" How did you survive my attack back then, what happened to your body, What it looks like? " he asks as he wondered why Tania's body color and appearance had drastically changed, unaware of what state she's in right now.

" It's called the 'Black Shadow', Flame Elf King... " Tania tells him as she attacks the King of the Flame Elves, Frigorak, using her daggers and her current power as a Black Shadow made from Donovan's Aether.

Tania attacks Frigorak, which Frigorak blocked with his greatsword, as he parried it, Frigorak could sense the ominous power inside of Tania.

"( This 'Mana Presence', no... )"

"( This is different, something's wrong... )" Frigorak feels the Aether coming out.

As Frigorak feels it, the two begin to clash their blades while the others are also fighting in the background, they quickly exchange clashes with their blades, striking the other's blade very metal while imbuing it with their respective powers.

< Black Shadow Skill: Black Shadow Weapon Imbuement >

[ Flame Elf Sword Magic: Flaming Fang Blade of Friathon ]

" Ah yes, the 'Flaming Fang'... " Tania says as she sees the Flame Elf King had to use the old trick, she remembered it for this is the magic he used to kill the Dark Elf King and Queen before facing her in combat back then.

" It seems you have new skills, General. "

" But I assure you, it won't work...! " Frigorak says as he continues his clash with his old adversary.

" For I doubt that you could withstand my power," he says to Tania.

" I promise to you, that I will repay what you've done to me... "

" GENERAL! " Frigorak swears to Tania.
