Chapter 234: Spin-Off Vol.2 'Clarent Star ': Crimson Dread Part 3

* Balrog roars. *

The Balrog still had a bad time, as it's fire begins to fade after being in water for so long, it begins to maximize it's effort, increasing the flame of the abyss over the unbreakable waters

< Warning (!) >

< 'Drugorath' begins to release [Balrog Blaze]. >

Fire begins burn inside the very water, for the fire itself is the unleashed Abyssal Power of the Balrog itself.

" Tch! " Donovan still tries to break the elastic wall water surface.

< Slime Water effect | 00:12 >

" Tch, dammit, break! " Donovan still tries to break it as he could feel the fires of Abyss begin to consume over the waters inside.

" Dammit, just how powerful are you? " Donovan asks as he looks back, seeing the Balrog snarls and growls while looking at him.

" DRRRRag... "

" Huh? " Donovan hears it and feels something is off...

" Gah, <Vague Memory Voices> again!... "

" Did you say 'Rag...'? " Donovan asks as the voices began to go out of the rails once more in his head.

" Grkkh, not now! " Donovan says while he wishes the 'Ring' to stop it but somehow it didn't respond.

As it happened, the Balrog, Drugorath immediately plunges forwards with it's fiery blaze, rocketing himself alongside his Abyssal Blaze towards the stunned Donovan;

" Dammit! " Donovan shouts, but...

He then feels something, feels his body is getting slower.

In that slowed state, she sensed Charlotte, who he hold earlier, wake up, reaching for his hand and take of the very Ring from him, pulling it out and putting it on her finger.

< 'Charlotte' uses her Passive [Split Second]... >

As Charlotte used it, she received the same buffs like Donovan did, immediately raising her hand against the incoming Balrog, activating the rings power to her, as she unleashed it.

" For my Mother's sake... "

" I will do whatever it takes... "

" To make her proud. " Charlotte draws her sword.

[ Magic Plunderer Sword: Mordrake ]

" With this sword, I will destroy you. " Charlotte's [Mordrake] and the [Fairy King's Glitter Ring] both shine with great radiance, the two Item Resonates each other.

" I see, so this is how... "

" To make the Clarent House proud. " Charlotte understands as the two Item resonates with her, a Clarent, the worthy one.

Both item shines so bright, even the Balrog, Drugorath had to pause his plunge over her as the light shines over him.

" Prepare for death, Balrog... "

" For I willdefeat you with the Clarent's Magic, the Magic named after our ancestor's very sword. " Charlotte says as the monster gets closer after being stunned for a while.

" Charlotte! " Donovan calls her as Charlotte charges it.

" Now, feel the radiance of the Clarent House, your radiant judgment! " Charlotte tells as she uses her very primary magic.

" Yah! " Charlotte unleashed it, the very magic she learned as a Clarent.

[ Clarent House Magic: Clarent Star ]

With the very magic, she slashed the Balrog with pure powerful radiance, she slashed it, and the slash's light engulfs everything around it, even outside the very Dungeons too.

" No way... *blurp* " Donovan's <Immunity> Effect over underwater is gone, as the ring was taken from him, he returns to what he was before, even feeling weaker, for his body now functioned normally like a normal human would've inside the water.

" *blurp* *blurp* " Donovan tries to breath, but he had troubles during the flash of radiance inside the water, Charlotte must've defeated it hence why during the flash, Donovan could see her silhouette coming towards him, holding him.

...

( Hours Later. )

Am I dead?

What happened during the flash, did Charlotte pick me up?

* Memories shown. *

I remember Charlotte suddenly pull out the Ring from my fingers in just a Split Second, how is that possible, how was I so slow at the time.

Or perhaps...

I'm not slow but she's just simply makes herself faster using her magic?

Wait...

As it happened, I see a glimpse of light, the light shines brighter as it now engulfs the darkness I'm in, I...

...

...

...

" Puffah! " Donovan gasps as he awakes from his faint.

" Ah, you're awake!? " Charlotte already beside him, she uses her shining magic to dry out his clothes.

" I'm sorry it didn't dry so much, Donovan... " she asks as Donovan then witnessed something else, this time, from the System.

< Quest Completed >

< Receiving Rewards >

< Item: [Balrog's Scale (?)] >

< EXP Obtained >

< EXP Obtained >

< You Leveled Up >

Donovan looks away from the System, seeing that the Quest on fleeing the Balrog is done, which could only mean that Charlotte successfully defeated it during that great moment of flash.

" I believe the Balrog is dead? " Donovan asks which Charlotte nods.

" With the might of the Ring and my Blade... "

" I annihilated it in an instant. " Charlotte shows the Ring in her hands.

" It suits you... " Donovan says as he rises up.

" Leaving so soon? " Charlotte asks him, Donovan stops.

" Well, we already spent too much time in the Dungeon, didn't we? "

" Shouldn't we both return home, to show our faces back to our parents? " Donovan asks Charlotte as she flustered hearing it.

" I see... " she stuttered.

" I'm sorry, you were right... "

" But... "

" We both can't return with our body are still this wet, right? " Charlotte asks, while witnessing how still wet their clothes really are.

Donovan hears it, he sighs as he approached Charlotte's Magic and sit down to dry himself more.

" Thanks for back then, Charlotte. " Donovan says as he felt he owe Charlotte one.

" No, no need! " she flustered.

" No need to be in debt, after all we would've not survive if you don't realized there was a Balrog inside the very Chasm. " Charlotte tells Donovan.

" Makes me wonder, how do you even know while I do not? " Charlotte ask which Donovan take a sigh.

" My eyes are simply built different... "

" I realized it as I live with my new family, I learned that I'm an existence unknown by history, or perhaps new... "

" Whichever it is, I could only remember that I have lived so long from the Dungeon I came from, you know the story if you heard the news, right? " Donovan asks Charlotte, believing after himself being viral in the Country itself, everyone should've known who he is, even those who were probably lived in a more, remote place.

" I do... " Charlotte nods.

" Guess you're just that different from the other boys... " she says while looking more over Donovan's Pitch-black appearance.

* Charlotte smiles and chuckles. *

" Cute... " Donovan praises the smile on her face.

" Thank you... " Charlotte says as the two spend the night, drying themselves outside the Dungeon, returned using the Gate opened within it like Charlotte said to Donovan, explaining to him how they both survived.

" So, that's how it is... "

" You wouldn't believed me if there's really a Gate that opens underwater, right? " Charlotte asks which Donovan shakes his head.

" Nope, not at all! "

" Not even my previous times... " Donovan uttered it out of his mouth, suddenly felt like he should've said that.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ Clarent House Mansion ]

" With the might of the Balrog, you 'Leones' are nothing. " said Mrs. Clarent as the battle ended.

Both the Leones Group Members and the Balrog are slain after a great clash of Magic, leaving both the 'Ducissa' and Mrs. Clarent to fight for their life.

" Curse you, Clarent Filth! " the 'Ducissa' cusses Mrs. Clarent.

" Now, now, that's not nice... "

" Even my 'son' is more mannered than you... " she tells her.

" F*k your son, Clarent Filth! "

" When the Head comes, he will make sure to rid out the shame you bring to our house...! " the 'Ducissa' warns.

" Careful, 'Ducissa Leones'... " Mrs. Clarent says as she uses her magic.

[ Clarent Accursio ]

Using the magic, Mrs. Clarent placed a curse into the 'Ducissa's body, killing her instantly.

" Guess I was right to only fear the Males from the House... "

" Guess this it... " Mrs. Clarent could only sigh.

" It's time, for his arrival... "

" That annoying man! " Mrs. Clarent says while in the far away place she sensed, she immediately sense a powerful bright Mana incoming, immediately making her feel goosebumps.

" It's really him! " Mrs. Clarent says as she felt the incoming presence of a great warrior, the man who once gave her a daughter through his seed.

" No mistaking it, it was you. '

" Arthur Calibur!!! " Mrs. Clarent already expects him, she knew this would come as the man and his people are already this close, probably already sniffing her from afar the whole time.
