Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 88: Tenebrae part 2

" Hmpph, you're right, guess it's better to end things quicker than later, isn't it? " Tenebrae says as he smirks.

" Duncan. " Tenebrae releases his Dark Magic, in order to present his strength to both Duncan and Agniz.

Seeing that, Agniz was shocked to see Tenebrae's Dark Magic, seeing it felt as if Tenebrae was no longer human but already another being.

"( What the hell, is he? )" Agniz asks in her tremble.

"( Is he still human? )" Agniz senses Tenebrae's malicious mana, sensing the great malicious force around his body.

"( He's a monster, no... even worse. )"

"( I don't know what more his magic is capable of, but I can tell that he still has many things that haven't been shown to us. )"

"( Whatever it is, I fear that Mr. Duncan's Wind Magic won't be enough, it could be, huh...! )" Right before Agniz finishes her blabbering inside her own mind, she immediately sees Duncan and Tenebrae already crossing their swords again at high speed, a speed that she didn't even realize, even before she can feel again the pain on her left waist.

"( So fast, is this what Mr. Duncan is capable of? )" Agniz asks, seeing Duncan's power and prowess in countering Tenebrae's moves.

" Nice move, Duncan! "

" It seems you had exceeded my expectations last time. " Tenebrae recounts what happened in Donovan's Academy*, he recounts everything where Duncan did nothing to face him and just let him go away.

" You finally had the right to face me, unlike that time. " Tenebrae mocks Duncan.

" Shut it, just die! " Duncan responds with his annoyance.

" Oh so harsh, you really don't like talking while fighting, didn't you? " Tenebrae tease him again.

" No! " Duncan says simply, without thinking of wanting to hear more words that came out from Tenebrae's mouth.

As he rejects his words, Duncan slashes and shoots Tenebrae with his Wind Magic rapidly, for he didn't even consider saying its name first before doing so as most magicians did, probably because his wrath can't be contained anymore and needs to be released ASAP.

"( I can't let this man escape again, he's already keeping me nervous for years. )" Duncan says, knowing about Tenebrae's survival after so many years even before his marriage with Irina Richter, unlike the others back then who think that the 'Dark Son' is already dead.

"( For years, his existence had kept me vigilant whenever I went inside the Dark, now I should waste no time killing him, no more! )" Duncan use <Air Slash>, empowered with his emotions, amplifying it hard as it almost destroys the room.

" Geez, that really was... "

" Destructive... " Tenebrae says as he uses a Shield made from Dark Magic.

[Tenebris Scutum]

" Grkkhhh, a Shield...!? " Duncan growls, cursing Tenebrae's Dark Magic to even have the ability to make a Shield that made him able to block his attacks.

"( This is getting nuts, my wind magic may be destructive but it could only be effective against other hard material elements such as water, earth and fire. )"

"( It can't go against such powerful energy-based magic such as Thunder and many kinds of different magic that has no hard material form or easily bendable such as... )"

"( Tenebrae's Dark Magic over here. )" Duncan thinks, cursing the Dark Magic for its greatest affinity against all other magic.

"( This cursed magic can only be defeated by the elements that have a light's energy inside them, like thunder and fire... )" Duncan thinks while looking at Agniz.

"( But the problem is, the person who had the ability is currently not in the good state right now, she's heavily injured. )"

" Goddamit! " Duncan blocks Tenebrae's sudden attack as Tenebrae use [Tenebris Gladius] again, summoning his Dark Sword.

" Eyes on me, Duncan! " Tenebrae tells him.

" Don't look at the woman while fighting, I'm your enemy, remember!? " Tenebrae happily tells him.

" You! " Duncan was quite angry, as he really was at the disadvantage not because of his power, but because of his magic's weaker affinity against Tenebrae's.

" What's with you, Duncan? "

" Why are you so silent? " Tenebrae asks.

" Are you wondering why your magic still can't fight against mine, despite the obvious? "

" Are you frustrated that I just shot your best arsenal on countering my magic, back then? " Tenebrae refers to Agniz, who is currently helpless on the floor, for the wounds he gave her to make her tremble in pain even in her slightest move.

" Kugghh!!! " Duncan can't really respond to him right now, for he really doesn't have any backup words to even counter him.

"( I can't believe he managed to quickly take back the dominance over this battle. )"

"( Even with my greatest effort, it seems he really just that guy with that 'whole other level' thing in the entire arsenal of his existence. )" Duncan thinks so far, so wild even that his mind couldn't describe Tenebrae's power over this battle.

The power he present's so simple but so dominating even without him having to increase his effort as if the level of this battle was just an easy level for him to do.

" Duncan, what's wrong, you're getting more silent in each of our clashes? " Tenebrae wonders for Duncan can only stay silent after realizing that he's fucked up for good, for the situation is out of his prediction, even using his emotions to amplify his magic as his secret trick won't be enough.

" Guess you can't hear me, didn't you? " Tenebrae asks again.

" *Yawn* I'm disappointed, to think this is what the 'Sharp Hawk' had to offer after he finally have his own peace. " Tenebrae says in his disappointment, probably expecting Duncan to be more than what he was back then after these years.

" Your good life after many victories had become your greatest defeat. " Tenebrae says to Duncan as he then gets to see an opening after clashing the blades rapidly with him, finally hitting Duncan with his Dark Sword, giving a painful slash that his Dark Magic can offer.

" It seems the 'Sharp Hawk', the Commoner's greatest ace mage is dead. " Tenebrae says as the silent Duncan falls to the ground for he already can't even comprehend things anymore.

" Died with me at that past battle, that is... " Tenebrae says to Duncan as he falls to the ground, kneeling before him, sword shattered, as Tenebrae continues to roast him for minutes before he decides to slash him.

" Guess, this is the result then, how regrettable. " Tenebrae prepares to slash Duncan, but suddenly.

*BOOM!!!*

Suddenly the room was crashed by something big, shocking everyone inside it so hard as they looked at who the hell just entered.

" Master, Ten... " Doom says as the Harbinger of Wreckoning was stabbed by the person that stepped on him.

" This is my last strike, seems I'm the one who will take my shadows' victory, huh? " the little person says, using his mask as he sees the person inside.

"( Wait a minute, dad!? )" he sees Duncan and Agniz on the ground while looking at the person who did this to them.

"( What the hell happened. )" he says.
