Child from the Dungeon-Chapter 178: Awkward Day

( After The Academy. )

< Dungeon: Hellorcs' Lair Dungeon (Epic) >

"( Wow, I guess I'm really that qualified to join the Tournament, just like Carlos. )" 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

"( Damn, need to prepare for that, but still... )"

" Is just me or... "

" Hmm... "

" Hmm... "

" Are the Dungeons getting Rarer now, don't ya think? " Draven asks Reala, as she accompanies him inside this Dungeon, Draven says this as recently, the System scans show few Dungeons appearing for days, even weeks.

" Well, Master Draven, it seems the more we cleared the Dungeons, the more we make the monsters dare to enter the Gates towards the Earth. "

" Perhaps, words had already spread around the realm of monsters that the Prince of Shadows, Draven, and his shadows had spread out and obliterated the armies of Darkness. " Reala tells him which made Draven think that she's saying nonsense.

"( Really, they know my name already? )" Draven says as he thinks about this.

"( I mean, I've only been into this 'Draven' thingy for just a year or less... )"

"( There's no way 'Draven' could be popular in just years to even influence the monsters to not attack the Earth, it's... )" Draven stops thinking as he then sees the Hellorcs who appeared before him and Reala.

" Master...? " Reala asks while summoning her Wand, her primary weapon.

" Be on guard, girl... " Draven tells her as the Hellorcs get close.

"( Oh so ya guys wanna come here because of your big bodies, huh!? )" Draven thinks he just stand on guard as the Hellorcs came near him.

< The 'Hellorcs' are getting near User 'Draven'... >

"( Well, what a day of Dungeon Clearing. )" Draven says as he then brings out his <Thorn Dragonclaw Sharp-forged Dagger (SS) >, a gift from the Black Merchant that he will constantly use after his usual <Aether Blade (A)>.

"(This thing actual works better on fighting Dragons or any kind of creatures related to reptiles. )"

"( But still the [Sharp Forge] effect is more than enough to slice through that thick skull. )"

...

< [Item: Thorn Dragonclaw Sharp-forged Dagger ] >

< Item Class: SS >

< Type: Dagger>

...

< Effect: >

< - [Sharp Forge]: This item had great durability which also increase the powerful DMG effect from its blade. >

...

As Draven think of it, the Hellorcs get closer to him in each moment and now they're in front of him.

" Well, hello there," Draven says as the Hellorcs are now in front of him, they began to lower their body to take a good look at him which is rare.

"( Why are they leaning their body, as if they want to make sure of something? )" Draven asks in his mind as he sees the Hellorcs kinda confused as their gesture made them looked they once had met him somewhere, something like that.

As it happens, one of the Hellorcs then shouts the name 'Draven', as it was shouted, the other Hellorcs began to react as they retreated from Draven's position.

" Dra... Dra... Draven...!? " the Hellorcs spell it despite their different type of language.

" The Orcs' know you, Young Master? " Reala asks as she sees it while Draven just shakes his head as he has never ever once met or seen for himself a Hellorc before.

" Nah! never knew them once in my life, or perhaps, I did..., or something... "

"( Well, the Orcs says 'Draven', meaning that..., that... )"

" Ah! " Reala claps her hands as she shouts.

" Huh! Wassup Reala? " Draven asks.

" The Orcs know you, Master, like I said, earlier! " Reala says.

" Earlier? " Draven asks as he thinks about it.

" You mean that!? " Draven asks her as Reala happily nods.

" Yes, Young Master, the one I just said, earlier...! "

" About the monsters probably recognized your name and the Black Shadows, the possibility the name 'Draven' go popular in the realm of the monsters...hihihi! " Reala answers.

" Really!? " Draven asks as he then sees the Hellorcs, he sees them, maintaining their position from him, their feet are shaking and their body is drowned with sweat in the Orcs' eyes, they see Draven's aura that appears to be like a Black Shadowy Monster, a higher existence than their very monstrous beings.

" Grah! grahah! " the Hellorcs shook in fear as they all witnessed Draven's ominous aura, his normal aura that normally leaks from his teenage body.

< The Hellorcs receive [Fear] as they gaze upon User 'Draven'. >

"( They're afraid of me? )" Draven asks as he sees the Hellorcs' behavior, he then thinks for a bit and then looks at Reala.

*Draven the waves onto the Hellorcs, giving them a sign to wait up while he wants to discuss something with Reala.*

" What is it, Master? " Reala asks Draven as the two had a team meeting.

" What do ya think we should do to them? should we clarify things to them, or what? do ya have any suggestions? " Draven asks while slightly looking at the Hellorcs, still in their position.

" Well, I think we should murder them, master. " Reala answered without a second thought which made Draven surprised.

" Murder them!? really!? "

" They didn't attack us!? why should I attack them!? "

" I know I gain power by killing the likes of them, or humans, but I only slashed them since the monsters came to me with killing intent, almost every time. "

" I never killed a defenseless monster before... "

" Really? Master? " Reala asks which startled Draven at the moment.

" Yes, I... " Draven thinks for a second, he tries to recount if he ever killed a defenseless monster before.

"( Based on my memories, I never once have... )" Draven thinks for a while.

" Oh no, Reala, I haven't, I never have! " Draven says as he then ends the meeting and decides to take some breath and approach the Hellorcs which made them weary as he gets close.

" Hello there... " Draven approached them which made the Hellorc gets aware as they prepare themselves, in the Hellorcs' eyes, Draven looked like a giant black thing that came from the shadows to squash them as the Hellorc reacts while pointing their weapons at him.

"( Oh shit, what I'm gonna do...? )" Draven asks as he then realized that Reala is preparing to attack in case the Hellorcs hit him.

"( Oh no, I'm in the middle of their standoffs... )" Draven thinks about this as he tries to solve the situation, he even asks the System if there are some options he could choose, but the System responded that there is none.

In the midst of all that awkward chaos and confusion, a voice comes behind the Hellorcs.

" Harakath, Herakoth, Haszkuth! " a voice says as the System detects something.

< Scanning Incoming Monster >

The System states as the monster then came out from the huge cave mouth behind the Hellorcs, it was a little monster, that had the same height as Draven and Reala, just a bit taller, it covers itself with robes, and white robs.

" Grahah! " the orcs sees the monster as they let it come.

" Herakutih! " said the little monster as it then sees Draven and sniffs him.

" Grakth...! "

" Itah kanuh bree! " it gets closer to Draven as its hands then hold Draven's arms.

" Ma, ma... "

" Itah kanuh bree! " the robed monster says as it then opens its robe, showing its face towards Draven and Reala.

It was a beautiful monster, a Hellorc unlike any other as it had white sharp and glimmering long hair, four ears in her head, and bright red scarlet eyes, so beautiful it made Draven fall for her for a sec.

< Happiness +11.000.000 >

"( My heart is racing, what is- )" Draven asks as the Hellorc girl then says something.

" Atis yu... "

" Betzalel... " she says suddenly which made Draven shocked in the very seconds he heard it.

"( That name!? Isn't that!? )" Draven gasps as he hears it with a great surprise for that name to ever be mentioned to his ears.
