Chapter 94: Dad vs Tenebrae Part 2

Chapter 94: Dad vs Tenebrae Part 2

"( I wonder what made dad like this? from his face, I can see that the emotions he's having are like the emotion that a man tries to hide for many years. )"

"( An emotion full of malice, as if dad is so experienced in striking true to his enemies before. )" I said while seeing through my <Link> with Tania.

"( Your father is a powerful person, isn't he? )" Tania asks me with her mind, the <Link> connects our mind together.

"( He is, many people around me told me so... )" I said, recounting how many things about my dad I heard from other people, despite dad never confirming it all to be true.

"( He often evades me when asking about his past, as if there is something about it he tried to bury so deep. )"

"( But after seeing Tenebrae..., that man... )" I said to myself as suddenly the System.

< Congratulations, you got a [Secret Achievement] !! >

< [Secret Achievement]: [Knowing more about father Part III] >

< Rewards: [Smoke Ash Grimoire (Epic) >

I see that reward in my System, wondering why the hell it gave me this item all of the sudden, one of the great items after many times it gives the annoying items.

"( Really, an Epic item all of the sudden? )" I said to myself as I just accept it and brushes it off for I want to see more of dad's fights.

.......

"( Duncan is getting wilder, is he always been like this...? )" Tenebrae asks, trying to remember how Duncan is used to backing then.

"( No, the attacks he gave to me were too violent, even the 'peak' Duncan didn't give so much damage in his normal magic attacks. )"

"( Guess it seems, this time... )"

"( I, Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra... )"

"( Get it wrong, again... )" Tenebrae says for him underestimating Duncan becomes one of the greatest and most regrettable errors he's made in his life, for even he always be perfect at calculating events or predicting the people around him and he sees, but when it comes to Duncan, everything he already calculated will always become dead wrong.

While Tenebrae reconsiders not taking Duncan seriously, hence why he was immediately slashed by Duncan's [Air Slash], a newer version of [Air Slash] for the wind is so sharp and spins like a rounded chainsaw for it continuously slashes its targets after it hits them.

[Tenebris Scutum]

" Stupid idiot! " Duncan tells Tenebrae as he blocks the attack with his Shield.

" You think just blocking with the greatest Shield you have will stop the attack and make it disappear since it's made from magic? " Duncan asks as those outside the two can see that the [Air Slash] continues to attack despite being held by the Dark Shield, continuously sawing it nonstop like hell, for the wind saw slowly destroys the shield, making Tenebrae have no choice but to dodge Duncan's attacks for the first time after so long fighting him.

"( Dammit, the wind... )"

"( There's something wrong with it, the wind magic he just unleashed is not like the wind he showed me back then. )"

"( Back then the Wind Magic only empowers his ability to be more versatile in battle, not in powerful frontal attacks like this one. )" Tenebrae recounts, comparing it with what he just see right now.

As he dodges, Duncan uses [Sonic Step] to get behind him and blast him upwards so he can strike him in the air using his [Wind Blast] and [Air Slash] to destroy Tenebrae.

[Tenebris Gladius]

[Tenebris Virga]

[Tenebris Proiectum]

Tenebrae uses his magic to defend himself against the attack, the barrage of clashes, clashes of magic attacks sparking at each other, creating a great clash and boom effect that amazes both Donovan, watching it through Tania in the sidelines, around their shadow domain.

"( Their clashes are all so beautiful, even I can't tell whether this is edited or not. )"

"( To think this is how the 'pro'-grown-ups fight using their magic? )" Donovan says while seeing it.

"( Indeed, young master. )" Tania tells him.

"( But despite that, young master's power and prowess are already able to match them. )" Tania praises Donovan, don't forget before she was a 'Black Shadow' she was actually a Dark Elven General in the Lair of the Dark Elves Dungeon back then*. That Donovan was defeated by his Black Shadow army.

"( But Tania, before you praise you do realize that I won after I overwhelm you with my army, right? )" Donovan recounts what happened at the time while the scene switches back to Duncan and Tenebrae fighting again, aside from the shadow spectators in the sidelines.

The two powerful men continue to show off their magic skills, unleashing what they have been harnessing for many years, professionally using their magic, using their strategies, using their experiences, and whatever they have in themselves for their battle was so at peak, it can't be described by words for Donovan himself can barely follow the two's battle, for they move too fast, too fast for his eyes to follow.

"( This one-vs-one battle is too fast, I don't know what they've done in that kind of speed frame but... )" Donovan says while still seeing it through <Link>, still managing to get a glimpse of the battle, of the slow scene in their speed battle frame gap.

"( I can tell that both of them had drained their stamina too much. )"

"( For they are now fighting without any distractions, hence why both of them decide to fight freely without any restriction or a backup plan whatsoever. )" Donovan concludes as if there's no way that they would stay fighting like that for so long.

"( Their battle speed frame, the two must've been fast enough, especially dad. )"

"( I can tell in this battle, the battle with great speed, despite dad's magic might be inferior... )"

"( I can immediately conclude that dad is the main player in this battle. )" Donovan says as he can see the glimpse once more, in Tenebrae's movements for he can see his gaps, him and his Dark Magic having a hard time, dealing with Duncan's expertise in this kind of battle.

[Air Slash]

[Wind Blast]

[Air Fang Bullet]

[Sidewinder Saw]

"( Just some attacks more dad!!! )"

"( You're doing good. )" Donovan says as he can see his dad, dominating the fight.

............

( Meanwhile. )

[ Furthermore inside the Territory Dungeon. ]

" Frank, I heard master Tenebrae is awaiting the result of our exploration. " one of the men said to Frank, the inspector from the Nyx Nocterra house.

" I know..., I know...! " he says as he continues to venture inside it.

" The Dungeon's mechanism is very difficult! "

" Dammit, this pre-Ragnarok dungeon! " Frank curses.

" Actually Frank, this Dungeon is the 'Pre-' pre-Ragnarok Dungeon, it's older than the Dungeons we scoured upon. "

" Oh really? holy hell! " Inspector Frank says in his moaning, for how tired he is after using his brain to deal with the Inner Dungeons Mechanisms.
