Chapter 229: Spin-Off Vol.2 'Clarent Star ': Shadow And Star Part 2

( Back then. )

" Charlotte, whatever you do... "

" You must never, reveal your Full name. "

" Neither my family name or your father's shall not be said by you to others. "

" Do you understand, sweetheart? "

Charlotte remembers her mother's orders, never reveal her true name.

"( I should not make a mistake here... )" Charlotte says to herself.

"( I could just tell my name as 'Charlotte Antares...', perhaps I shouldn't tell the 'Antares' too, but aside from that, the last name must be found if it was asked... )"

"( So, what would I used as a last name, hmmm? )" Charlotte thinks, but then, she remembered that her mother were once a Hunter, who used a different Last Name that she remembered her once told her with.

"( Maybe I should use 'that'... )" Charlotte sighs as she then look at Donovan.

" Hello, umm..., Donovan... "

" My name is Charlotte Shine, nice to meet you. " Charlotte tells her name that, using her mother's last name disguise in the past.

" Wow, I see, Charlotte Shine. " Donovan hears as he then looked at his System once again.

< Name: Charlotte Antares Clarent, Charlotte Shine >

< Age: 9 >

< Level: 45 >

< Magic: Star Magic >

"( Hmm... )" Donovan sees it as the name appears, he looked at the system and sees Charlotte again as they shake hands.

"( Trying to disguising your name, huh? )" Donovan asks as it seems the System could scan through one's identity to a certain amount.

But still, Donovan decided to ignored it and walked with Charlotte around the Dungeon.

" So, you came here in search of an Item? " Donovan asks.

" Yes, an Item that could help me and my Mother, we need it to survive. "

" Survive? that's some serious word? " Donovan asks which Charlotte stops.

Donovan also stops and think that he might've triggered it, by mentioning something critical. Something he intended while still maintaining his composure of just asking it out of the blue instead of a curious intent.

" Well... "

" My... Mother... " Charlotte stutters.

" My Mother had a debt..., yes... "

" Because of that, she wants me to find an Item that she believed could made both of us fled from those who wants us... "

" Something like that, hehe... "

" I see, hmm... " Donovan says it with a smile as Charlotte walked first, he stops and decided to walk behind her, seeing her with a serious sight.

As the two walked, Charlotte then told Donovan that this Dungeon actually had a secret section, lied within. A section that was once the graveyard, a graveyard of those who died in the 'War of the King's Bloodline'.

" Oh, that war... " Donovan added.

" I know that, my Mother once told of it's history. "

" The war of King Arthur's two Bloodlines, the Rightful Bloodline and the False Bloodline... "

" Based on what I know, one of the Rightful Bloodline families are the King's House, Avalon and the most popular of them all... "

" The Calibur... " Donovan mentions it which Charlotte listen to it with a serious thought.

" Really...? " Charlotte asks it.

" Yes, the Caliburs are the holder of the Legendary Sword 'Excalibur' after all... "

" Hence their very name are inspired by the blade's, a name filled with pride as they wield the legendary king's greatest weapon. "

" I believe I also met one of them Caliburs, their Head perhaps in one of the Royal Banquets my family has to attend. " Donovan tells.

" Wow, really? " Charlotte asks again.

" Which one? " she wonders as Donovan explained her the details more.

" *Gasp* " Charlotte gasped all the sudden.

" You alright? " Donovan asks her as the two walked, they walked into a section, a wide section of a cave.

" Where are we? " Donovan asks as he sees Charlotte stops in front of him.

She stops while picking something from a her cloth, an item she hid within it.

< Item: [Fairy Glitter Ring, Incomplete (SSS)] >

< A Magic Ring, once, the ring is filled with a certain gem that would made this ring powerful once more. >

* Charlotte holds the ring and chants. *

While Charlotte chants, Donovan sees the item as he never seen such an Item with that kind of great Rank before, SSS, that's an item rank he's never seen before or even scanned by the System during his leveling days.

"( I've been leveling up for almost a year and I swear, I the highest item Rank I've seen is 'B'-Rank... )"

"( I may have to check that again, but that's my statement, that's what I believed based on my records. )" Donovan thinks to himself, while preparing himself if he needs to equip a weapon.

"( Speaking of statement, whatever this Ring is, it is not complete... )"

"( Like item's prescription's '...a certain gem that would made this ring powerful once more.', this means that the 'Item' she wants to find is an item of great power, the Item that would complete the Ring. )" Donovan states while looking around, he stepped three times on the ground, looking at his shadows as he sees many eyes shown within it.

"( Prepare yourselves, my Black Shadows. )"

"( Goodness knows what this girl is chanting... )" Donovan prepares for the worst, since he didn't trust her even a bit despite his gimmick.

While Donovan prepares, Charlotte who is chanting, then begins to see the result, the ring glows, glowing some ancient scriptures summoned from the ring's very body.

* Ancient Scripture Glows and shows itself in the air. *

Charlotte begins to chant again, this time, light comes out from the ground, as not only from the ground, the moon is also up in the sky, shining over the Dungeon's cave that has no roof.

* Moonlight shines inside. *

The Moonlight shines over Charlotte and Donovan, as Donovan then sees that below him, ancient texts begin to glow, responding the Moonlight as well as Charlotte's chanting.

" This Dungeon is belong to ancient civilization, a race that the False Bloodline of Arthur wanted to find. "

" Using this Dungeon, the False Bloodline Houses wanted to use this over the Rightful Bloodlines, but they were killed in the attempt. " Charlotte suddenly explains after chanting it.

* Ground rumbles and shatters. *

" What are you doing? " Donovan asks.

" You should get close to me, or perhaps hold on me tight... " Charlotte tells which Donovan just do it as he sees the ground begin to shatter even more, making him had no choice but to grab on Charlotte's body.

* Donovan hugs Charlotte from her back. *

" Oh my... " The ground all shatters but left the ground under both of them still, for their ground is actually circled with a glowing ancient texts, making it somehow float while the other crumbles.

" The spell I chanted earlier is like what my mother instructed me. " Charlotte tells Donovan.

" The very Dungeon is just a facade, the creatures, the monsters... "

" They were all imported by the Rightful Bloodline Houses to this Dungeon, filling it with them so none would survive when reaching this place. " Charlotte tells as the ground below them, that flies, slowly descends like an electronic Lift.

" You seemed to know much of Arthur's Bloodlines? " Donovan asks her out of curiosity, referring to her gradual mention over them.

" Well, the person my Mother was indebted is one of them... "

" So my Mother believed by using their secrets, she and I could escape their wrath... " Charlotte explain that to Donovan while they both descends into the deepest of the place.

" Must've been a huge debt. " Donovan tells Charlotte while still hugging her and looking around.

"( Seriously, who is this girl? ) " Donovan thinks while looking at her name again.

< Name: Charlotte Antares Clarent, Charlotte Shine. >

"( Clarent, huh? )"

"( Perhaps that's her real family name... )" Donovan thinks about this while he still holds Charlotte's body, fearing he will fall from the very heights while their magic natural lift descends.

"( Don't look down, Donovan... )"

"( You will be more afraid, not to mention the Falling Damage. )" Donovan says this.

< Fear +990.000 >
