Chapter 128: Draven's Official Debut To Society Afterwards

( Hours after. )

[ Location: NeoCare Hospital ]

"( Dammit, how this is not my day... )" Draven says for he thinks about things, reflecting on what happened this whole day.

As Donovan thinks of this, he sees the TV which was turned on near his Medic Bed which he thinks that the person beside him, in the next medic bed, is covered by the curtain.

"( Carlos is place next to me, huh? )"

"( Guess he is still asleep from earlier. )" Donovan says for he scans Carlos.

...

< Scanning >

< Subject: Carlos Calibur >

< Status: Inactive >

...

" Strange, usually the System quickly found any kind of abnormal reading... "

" Even the most hideous guys like Tenebrae could be scanned by it, but... "

" Huh, whatever? "

" Guess I've destroyed it for good, huh? " Donovan says, still thinking about the person who possesses Carlos earlier.

"( I'm beginning to understand that the world of magic is fantastic and unbelievable at the same time. )"

"( To think that one could take over another's body with a mere whim only... )" Donovan says as he then returns his focus to the TV.

The News told many incidents that happened after the Elves' Attack, many instances in Elysium Haven had to face the consequences, even the Royal Houses the Medic said earlier.

" Guess things like this will happen to us equally, huh? "

" Even though some may be lucky to not receive this... " Donovan says as he continues watching it, wanting to hear if the news will mention the abduction of his grandfather.

" And for the next news, we're giving the report of the condition regarding the Richter House... "

" Here it goes... " Donovan says as the news began to explain his House's condition.

" Guess, the medic was right after all... " Donovan hears the news, telling that the other Royal Houses that hated the Richter House began to attack the House with their political endeavors.

" Some a$$h*les are taking advantage of this chaos. " Donovan says he then sees the news changed into another topic. A topic he thinks would not be talked about too much, is.

" The next news is about a mysterious person that appears itself in the Prodigal Academy during the Elvish invasion there... " the news reporter says as they play the record gathered by the forensics and the Knights.

" Wow, that's crazy, a mysterious magic knight that fights the Elves at times like these...? " said the other news reporter as she comments about the video.

" Look at him, he defeats those Elves alone...! " she says as she sees the video.

" Not alone, actually... " Donovan corrects her for she and all other people, can't see the Black Shadows in the video, even Donovan doubts that there's any camera that could record the Black Shadows at all.

" It seems the Black Shadows' hideousness had already gone beyond our latest innovative technologies, huh? " Donovan says which made him glad that at least 'Draven' got a spotlight, for now.

" Honestly, that 'Draven' persona is quite a headache to create. "

" Especially that persona was never planned, which I had to formulate in the future. "

" But how...? " Donovan says as Draven had gone to be recognized in the public.

" Guess I need to use it, then... "

" The popularity... " Donovan says as he then decides to see around him and then enters the Shadows to arrive at the <Shadow Realm>.

" Young master... " Tania says as she still tries to extract information from Relia Ross that is still in her inactive condition.

" Still no reaction? " Donovan asks her and she shakes her head.

" I've been doing this for hours, yet still no reaction... "

" I think we should extract her, using a more..., extreme meth- "

" NO, DON'T! " Donovan says to Tania, telling her to treat Relia as soft and as kind as she can.

" Remember, Tania... "

" That girl will be my bargain with the Star Elves... " Donovan says as he reminds Tania the thing of her being Rourka's niece, Donovan predicts if her uncle is an important Elf, then there's a chance that Relia's parents might be important in the Star Elf's race.

" I see your judgment... " Tania understands this she continues to use her magic to extract that information from Relia's mind.

< Dark Elf Magic: Nightdream Net >

< A Mental Dark Elven Magic that could extract a person's memories, can be used if the target is inactive. >

" So what are we going to do now, young master? " Tania asks Donovan.

" Shall we go assault the Elves that took your grandfather? " Tania says Donovan thinks about it as he sees his whole Black Shadows army in this realm below his location.

He sees them, including the new ones like Turok, Terra, and Torhn. He realizes that he probably can do an assault now, but.

" NO... "

" An assault now would be premature... "

" Too impulsive and had so much risk... " Donovan says as he thinks about things that happened earlier.

" A risk that would likely bring us many losses more than gains. "

" Besides..., "

" Our enemies are not just the Elves that attacked my grandfather only... "

" But also,... " Donovan remembers those other Houses that dare politically attacked his house while most of its important members are currently busy dealing with some things.

" Those hyenas that strike in the shadows. " Donovan says as he changed into 'Draven' immediately in front of Tania.

< [Aether Mask (A)] Equipped >

< [Aether Aegis Armor (A)] Equipped >

As he changed into Draven, all Black Shadows in the realm immediately looked at him, realizing that he must've wanted to announce something.

" Black Shadows, hear me! " Draven says to them, calling them to open their ears to what he says.

" I know, this may be sudden for ya all! "

" But this must be told to ya in order for our own continuation. "

" For years, we've been doing things under the shadows... "

" Scouring in the Dungeons, unnoticed by everyone. "

" But the time has changed! "

" Now it's time for us to show the world the might of our shadows!!! "

" The might of our army...! " Draven says as he makes his Black Shadow cheer despite how very basic his speech was.

"( Better increased the hype-ness of the words next time. )"

"( But still, it seems the Black Shadow really adored every of my speech, didn't they? )" he wonders as he then continues.

" Very well then, my brave shadows! "

" It is time for us to continue to our next phase... "

" As ya all know by now, the Elves had attacked many people in Elysium Haven, including those I cared about! "

" Originally, I was going to set ya all to attack them, but there are some problems! "

" The first one is, we need more numbers! "

" Second, we had some other people needed to wipe out first before the Elves! "

" So with these things coming into my consideration, the next phase of our plan is to gather more numbers and reduce the unsees enemies! "

" And because of that, we will split into two groups! " Draven says as he then picks Black Shadow Doom, Turok, and Torhn, to lead the Black Shadow Beasts and Rouges

" Doom, Turok, Torhn...! " Draven calls the three which made them bow.

" The three of ya will lead all of the Black Shadow Beasts, Heavys, Rogues, and Scions... "

" Ya will be the ones that gather more corpses for me to convert. "

" And also..., wait... " Draven thinks for a bit.

" < Black Shadow Elite, Tusk> are ya here? " Donovan calls another of his Black Shadow Elite after Doom and Tania, Tusk, the Black Shadow Warhog Overlord, raised after he killed him in the Warhog Dungeon back then*.

Tusk presents himself as he comes out from the ground and kneels before Draven.

" Oh, there ya are, Tusk, ya will also join to gather more corpses, along with Doom and Torhn... " Donovan says as he tells Tusk to take 3/4 of the Black Shadow Warhogs and half of the Black Shadow Slimes with him too as his support.

" Now go, all of ya that I choose! "

" Go, scour the nearby Gates and Dungeons for more armies to resurrect! " Draven orders them to leave, as they will do the command gratefully.

< Black Shadow Doom, Turok, Tusk, and Torhn, including their supporting armies had left the Shadow Realm >

As they left, Draven begins to cough, continuing to announce the next move. "

" Now, the rest of ya will do the next plan... "

" All of ya and I will keep an eye on some Houses, some people that I suspected to be the ones who attack my House from behind. " Draven tells them which made all of them kneel.

" Acknowledged, young master! " they kneel as Draven tells them their target through <Link> which they accepted.

" Go, leave... " Draven says as all of them leave, emptying the <Shadow Realm>.

" Now since they already left... " Draven says as he walks into a section of the <Shadow Realm>, where he sees some Shadow Cocoons and Nests in that place.

" Maybe, I should've chosen which one I should unlock, hmm... "

" The more of us that can do this, the better. " Draven says to himself.
