Child from the Dungeon-Chapter 99: Dad vs Tenebrae Result

...

( Donovan's perspective. )

< [Shadow Link], extracting information from [Black Shadow Tania] >

So it seems, father was the winner in that battle.

I can see it in Tania's mind after she returns.

Such a mighty feat, I've never thought dad would hide such a surprise from everyone.

" Duncan, are you alright and... " mom asks after seeing dad with such bruises and also coming home with Guildmaster Resha.

" Are you... " mom's emotion suddenly raise.

< Target [Irina Richter (User Donovan's mom)] emotion -100.000 >

< Target terminating a powerful heavy aura. >

"( What the hell!? )" I was shocked to feel mom's aura as her emotion's suddenly goes negative.

"( What's with mom!? )" I wondered to myself as I then looked at dad.

...

( Duncan's perspective. )

"( Irina...? )" I ask myself, seeing my wife's aura suddenly go wild.

"( What's with her... oh!!! )" I looked at Resha suddenly which made me remember something.

Something I forgot regarding my wife that is, she didn't quite follow Hunter's world since she's a Royal Knight herself.

"( Shit, I forgot that Irina doesn't know so much about the Hunters that I've known! )"

"( She may have known about Mercy Aquilla, my guild master, but I bet she must've been shocked to see Resha here... )" I immediately realized that due to my wife's high ignorance regarding the Hunters that roam in the world right now.

" Dun... " Irina half said my name, I can see her mana getting wilder, the Dragon Curse is on it again released due to her emotions.

Tears can slowly be seen in her eyes. Seeing it, I can't believe that I've made a fatal mistake after defeating that bastard Tenebrae!!!

I forgot to inform my wife, my children's mother about who I'm going with before leaving Donovan!!!

"( Dammit, after having a hard time battling Tenebrae, now I had to find a way to talk things with my wife. )"

"( Since Irina is a strict woman, due to her disciplined upbringing since her childhood, a change of plans or unexpected situations like this are hard for her to tolerate! )"

"( Especially since I bring Resha, who is a woman into the house! )" I immediately look at Resha, telling her to stay quiet and put me on the sofa nearby.

"( Resha... )" I looked at her, hoping she would understand my face mimic.

"( Huh? )"

"( Don't talk, let me handle this... )" I tell her as she helped me walk into the sofa, so I can see.

" Honey... " I sit on the sofa and immediately looked back at her, thinking how the hell I can explain things to her.

" I have to tell you something... " I tell Irina, despite I know full well that she would immediately attack me without doubt, I can see it from her right hand, preparing her [Ground Magic] to strike.

" Speak... " Irina answers me with a heavy tone, her voice changed at that moment, meaning that 'it' already gets in her, enhancing her hostile emotions, even I can see Donovan and Adria, including the other people nearby, felt heavy at the moment as Irina's aura pressures everyone nearby.

"( I need to prepare the sp...- )"

" Speak my love, no spells... " Irina suddenly increases her heavy aura, perhaps she had seen my hand and mouth movements which is my common trait to prepare the Dragon Curse's Sealing Magic Incantation.

" Oh, that's... "

" Honey, we were actually doing a Raid, I've already told you so, didn't I? "

" You did... "

" So, why are you angry, I spoke the tru...- "

" But did you tell me that you're going to be acquainted during that Raid? " Irina suddenly asks me, immediately checkmating me that indeed, I didn't tell her that I was going to be acquainted during the Territory Dungeon Raid, only Donovan knows since he's been with me earlier before it happened.

" Well, I was..., but...- " 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

" But what...? because your phone was destroyed...? or because of the signal's lost? which is it!? "

" Dear, it was always like this when you were gone..., you know... "

" If I'm not taking care of Adria and worrying about Donovan's eye damage earlier, I would've called you a thousand times you know!!! " Irina was so angry at the moment, even Resha who was still behind me, asks using her mimic face.

"( Do you want me to vouch, to prove your words, Mr. Duncan? )" Resha asks, I can tell it based on what her face shows me.

"( No, no no no no no no, don't vouch, please... )"

"( You're only going to make her angrier, as if she will trust you... )"

"( Pardon...? what do you? )"

"( Idiot! )"

"( You may be the Warblade Guildmaster, but since my wife's a Royal Knight... )"

"( She had minimum knowledge of the Hunters, even the S Ranks, since she rarely met them other than those I've known before. )"

"( So don't be shocked that despite your achievements, my wife will never notice it, in the first place! )" I tell Resha which shocked her.

"( She..., your wife..., the daughter of the Richter House..., didn't know me...? )" Resha says which made her mental go down.

"( This is disastrous... )" she says in her mind, definitely had no way to cope with the situation.

" So tell me, dear... "

" I've already waited for many minutes, but there are no clear answers from you. "

" What is going on? what happened exactly back then to you? "

" And... why you came home with...- " Irina asks the questions which she could've put into one like 'tell me everything dear, now!' or some sort.

As I formulate my defense, suddenly I see Donovan trip the MagiTV Remote and press it with his foot, turning it on, and immediately opening the news channel.

As it was on, I can see the channel at the time is the 'Hunters Channel' and in that fortunate moment, I can see Resha's face which immediately empowers me to tell Irina everything, using the turned-on TV that Resha's face all over its news as proof who she was.

" So, both of you, are doing a classified mission? A 'Guild Mission'? " Irina's aura slowly turned down, and her mind begins to accept my words, slowly fading her emotions away for good.

Slowly believing me, I then just bluntly tell her the whole thing, but I didn't tell her about the fighting with Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra part yet, since that was something that I wouldn't want her to know.

While I deliberately explain things, I looked into my son and see him, smiling at him.

"( Thank you, Don! )" I said to the boy, my savior son.

....

( Donovan's perspective. )

"( Dad's face...? )"

"( He looks like thanking me for something. )"

"( Is there something I do that joys him? )" I wondered to myself as I scratch my head about this situation.

...

.....

( Meanwhile. )

[ Location: Unkown ]

" Aaahhh... this feels nice. "

" The wounds of Duncan's spell are getting away, damn it really hurts during the process! " Tenebrae says, inside his Dark Cocoon, rejuvenating himself with his Dark Magic.

" Ah yes, I can feel it, dammit, what was that spell he did!? " Tenebrae wonders for many hours, until.

" Ahhhh...! "

" It seems this is the perfect way to end this very day, huh? " Tenebrae says as comes out from his Dark Cocoon that chambers him in order to heal his body using Dark Magic.

" Now my playtime with Duncan is over... "

" Guess it's time for me to hustle again in dark, shall I? " Tenebrae says, wearing his clothes as he sees the things from below his balcony, where there exists a large number of test tubes, filled with some monstrous things and his men working all the night.

" Kukuku... "

Extra"

If you're all wondering why Irina is angry, it is because Duncan didn't inform her that Warblade Guildmaster, Agniz Resha will also join him in the event.
