Child from the Dungeon-Chapter 255: Behind All Eyes

( In a Mysterious Realm. )

" To think kids these days are more talented than my time... "

" Especially you, Bearer of Dark Magic. "

" You, who had the skills to infiltrate one's body, isn't that convenient? " said '#####', seeing a certain Dark Magic User enter the realm within '#####'s Vessel.

" I'm flattered. "

" To think an unspoken ancient mage would renown me with such- "

" I wasn't talking about who you are or whom I should renown you for, Nyx Nocterra brat! "

" I'm talking about that Magic of yours that is always so difficult and always wished, begged, by the ones before you. "

" Now, to think it will be attained by an entitled one such as you, you who use the dark to play games, using hide and seek to haunt your enemies. "

" I'm even more flattered to hear that, isn't that how the 'Dark Magic' was used? "

" To strike and haunt by blindsight, while Star Magic illuminates and made the enemies blind by light in the first place. " said the Nyx Nocterra person who visits '##### '.

" Yet here, I thought you don't care what I am and what I do for a living? "

" But, it seems an elder like you always know something we don't, didn't you? "

" Perhaps, the reason why you were still 'imprisoned' within this very vessel? " Nyx Nocterra asks.

" To think, a forbidden yet legendary mage such as you will be tightly imprisoned by a child who was just lucky enough to find some 'ring'... "

" A ring hidden in a cave, powerful enough to enhance what the child already has and more. "

" A powerful artifact, so ancient... "

" It is... " '##### ' responds to him.

" An Artifact so powerful to be given to such a child is it not? "

" Even I never dare to believe such ornament would exist after Ragnarok, yeah right,... "

" The death of all Myths. "

" The death of the true gods and monsters, an era that one always aspires to be. "

" To reach greater heights beyond any being in this mortal realm. " '##### ' tells what he thinks about the topic.

" Like our Ancestors? " Nyx Nocterra asks him.

" Arthur and Merlin surely are the Myths we aspire to be, are they not? "

" Both the Right 'Rightful Bloodline' and the False 'False Bloodline' will always strive to reach their level. "

" A level which only one of the Bloodlines could ever achieve. "

" The very one who holds this entire goddamn kingdom. " '##### ' replied with annoyance.

" Oh, always hates how the Mana blesses and loves them with great overdose. "

" It made me sick, to see such Bloodline who was not skillful with their Knighthood and not acquainted with their Magic, the ones who stand in the middle, is given the very power of the King himself. "

" To me, that is just fate giving a huge middle finger despite we all came from the same root, worthy of the blood too. "

" Well, most of us, don't mention the 'False Ones'. "

" Aren't you half False? " Nyx Nocterra asks with his usual mocking tone, making '##### ' annoyed.

" I see why we Caliburs and Nyx Nocterras never think of joining forces and just overthrowing the goddamn Avalons, I guess I can fully understand now from this conversation. "

" You Nyx Nocterras, cowering cowards who always play in the dark, never dare to get out from that comfortable domain of yours, despite all of your magic, it seems you never invested in the art of battle, huh? " '##### ' asks.

" I always think that your House has always made some sort of 'Plan' deep in the dark. "

" But, I guess it's all a ruse, for I will never see a Nyx Nocterra use their Prideful 'Dark Magic' to blanket the world in the darkness and finally strike rampantly. " '##### ' tells.

" Of course, why should we? "

" The world itself is shined by the light, both in dawn and dusk, that's the rule. "

" Even the powerful Dark Magic will always be weakened and night, for the light of the stars still shines to disrupt us, a perfect moment for Star Magic users, isn't it? "

" That's why, to disrupt or enact our House's 'Plan', we need to patiently wait for 'it' to come O Ancient Elder, you know the thing? " Nyx Nocterra tells him.

" Thing? What thing? " '##### ' asks him back.

" That thing, you know... " Nyx Nocterra approached the man, whispering what he meant.

" You gotta be kidding me? That's the plan? Yahahahaha! " '#####' laughs, laughing at the plan he perceives as impossible yet interesting.

" I can see why you secretly invest in one of the Participating Academies, Nyx Nocterra... "

" From the start, you were on 'That Thing', that of the Avalons, hehe... "

" Yes, you're right, only with that thing you may accomplish anything you wish. "

" But, are you sure it will go smoothly, I wonder... " '##### ' grins wide, wondering what answer he will be given.

" O please, spare me the question, unspoken name elder," said Nyx Nocterra to him.

" I thought you knew how this plan would succeed, didn't you? " he asks, ending their conversation at the moment.

( Meanwhile. )

Night falls, as Princess Alexandria Ithuriel Avalon I see the skies from her balcony, within the very palace of the kingdom.

" The stars shine as dark falls. "

" O, how things will turn out on this very night, to think this 'Tournament' might attract many things to operate simultaneously? "

" Isn't that right? My friend? "

" Already finished watching this beautiful princess of your country? " the Princess looked left, seeing a certain vigilante of the shadows standing near her.

" Ya've been expecting me? " Draven asks her, he crosses his hands while leaning on the balcony pillar.

" I've heard so much about you and want to meet you directly. "

" The 'Prince of Shadows' himself, why wouldn't any princesses didn't wonder of you? "

" Prince from the Dungeon? " Princess Alexandria suddenly says that, making Draven stutter.

" Surprised? " the Princess asks Draven.

" Of course, I know about you, 'Draven'... " Princess Alexandria smiles.

" Oh my... " Draven says to himself.

" To think by hiding ma identity with robes, armor, and masks will protect my identity? "

" Perhaps, there are more people that could see anything different than those around them, are they? " Draven asks as the Princess approaches him, smirking.

" My dear 'Prince of Shadows'... "

" You're not the only one who ventures the world of the night and raids its Dungeons while everyone's asleep. "

" You simply never thought of that because they simply mentioned you more than the others, considering your attire is so catchy, ouch! " the Princess poked Draven's chest, flattering herself.

" What do you want? " Draven asks her.

" Do not worry, my Prince, no secrets will be revealed here, for we are now doing this behind all the eyes of others. "

" What I want to do right now, is to tell you something important, since I will always know you would keep watching me sooner or later. " Princess Alexandria approached Draven's ear.

" My dear Draven... " she whispers it.

" Dono-van... " she ends her whisper, continuing to have the 'Prince of Shadows' with her for some time during the night.
