" Sorry, Witch... "
" But this woman will not die while I'm here. "
< User 'Draven' had joined the Battle. >
< Event Quest Commenced >
< Event Quest: [Defeat Gidhra whatever it takes (0/1)] >
< Time: [00d 6h 59m 59s] >
" Okay, who in the f*k are you? " Gidhra asks as she sees Draven and manages to block her.
" The name's Draven... "
" I'm the one who represents the Shadows under the sun. "
" The Prince of Shadows. " Draven parries it and pushes Gidhra away, followed by using his [Vermillion Flame] to burn Gidhra immediately.
< CRIT DMG >
< Boss [Gidhra (?)] receives significant Critical Damage from the [Vermillion Flame]. >
< [Vermillion Flame] succeeds in burning the monster cells within Boss [Gidhra]s body, disabling some of her monster traits. >
" Karkgh! " Gidhra screams as she felt the flame, the fire burns into her veins, pissing her off.
" My hands! my beautiful hands! " Gidhra screams as she sees her hands burned.
" How dare you!? You will pay for that! You will pay with your life! " Gidhra shouts in her anger, quickly summoning another monster using her magic, unleashing thirty < Ravage Chimera Monstrums (LVL.111) >.
" That's very unwise... " Draven tells her, snapping his fingers as he epically summons his Black Shadows, the currently most powerful of them.

" Deal her now. " Draven orders them, as the three Black Shadow Summons strikes upon the Monster Witch using their skills while their boss meets with Lady Irina Richter.
" Hello there, Mrs. Richter-Grimshaw. " Draven greets her and gives her some HP Potion.
< HP Recovered >
" Gah! " Irina gasps as she was splashed by the potion's liquid, which makes her feel better than before.
"( My pain, it's gone, my wounds too!? )" Irina wondered as Draven approached him.
" Hmm, your damage ain't that bad, it didn't do much harm though, I guess those Dragon Scales really protected ya from greater damage. "
" Perhaps, this is the true power of your Dragon Magic, Madam? " Draven asks as Irina sees him.
" It's you!? " Irina sees Draven, surprised to see the person who 'burns' her husband* is in front of her.
" Why are you here, Draven!? " Irina asks as she sees Draven's Shadows.
She sees the gigantic shadow creatures, horrified, seeing such beings exist before her eyes.
" What are those!? " Irina sees it.
" My men, Madam Richter-Grimshaw. " Draven responds to her.
" Want me to introduce them to ya? " Draven asks for he recommends Irina for him to introduce his Black Shadows one by one, but Irina refuses, asking Draven how the hell he could get those things as his subordinates.
" They are bound to me, Madam. "
" Their souls are bound to me as I defeated them in combat, thank you very much. "
" You enslaved them!? " Irina asks as she chats with Draven, her husband's acquaintance, the one he talked about during his fight in the Territory Dungeon with Tenebrae*.
" No, I didn't enslave them, Madam, let's just say... "
" They 'submit' by 'choice', as they rise back as part of my army. "
" And the army that would guard this country from the Shadows, you see the results, do you? "
" The decrease of Dungeon Gates appearances? " Draven asks Irina which made her baffled.
" You're the one who raided them? " Irina asks as she sees Draven and sees the Black Shadows he summoned, realizing how powerful Draven is.
"( Guess Duncan was not joking around to be astonished by this young guy. )" Irina thinks while looking at Draven's height, she realized the guy is definitely younger than her by size, but she decides not to assume his age for she lacks info about Draven.
"( But still, to think he would help me with open arms, in the midst of my battle. )"
"( Does he really get that close with my husband already, to even want to lend me, his wife, a hand? )" Irina wonders for she remembers Draven burning Duncan back in the 'Alvitor Prison' in Alviheim, she remembers Draven just come and burns Duncan which in fact, actually recovers him.
"( Draven, what are you? )" Irina wonders while she sees Draven leaving her and approaches his Black Shadows who constantly fight with Gidhra.
< [Black Shadow Lord, Turok] activates [Tyrant Impact Slash] >
< A slash with great impactful damage, filled with Turok's overall great Mana which slices the opponents so great. >
< Boss [Gidhra] receives significant damage. >
< [Black Shadow Marauder, Torhn] activates [Thorn Pillar Stab] >
< Summoning Thorn Pillars to stab the opponent, an area attack with great CRIT DMG. >
" Keurkh, you black creatures! " Gidhra grunts as she flies, evading the summoned thorn pillars from the ground, which she evades very perfectly before one finally stabs her as it grows from the ground without her notice.
" Kreee! So annoying! "
< Boss [Gidhra] receives significant damage, stun effect applied. >
"( I'm trapped! )" Gidhra was stuck as the thorn pillar stabs her stomach so deep, she tries to free herself, but before it happens she feels something coming above her as the shadow can be seen below her and the area around her becomes so dark.
" Huh!? " Gidhra sees upwards and sees Terra jumping above her, preparing its fist to give her a punching attack that hits her into the ground, slamming her while she's still stabbed by the thorn pillar, damaging her stomach's hole even more as it happens.
From afar, Irina sees the Black Shadows' performance as Draven claps, impressed by their display of strength.
" Well done, well done... "
" You guys are excellent today. " Draven tells them the three Black Shadows respond by giving their thumbs to him.
< The Black Shadows Commandos are grateful for the User's praise. >
< The User's bond with them has increased >
"( Well, they did work excellently. )"
"( But still, I still won't be happy just yet. )" Draven says as he sees Gidhra's HP which is still had an unknown value, but the HP Bar shows that the damage she receives is probably around 45% of her total HP.
" Better continue the damage while her still affected by the stun. " Draven says for he quickly uses [Vermillion Flame] to burn Gidhra who is on the ground right now.
< Vermillion Flame Skill: Blazing Scorch >
When Draven unleashes the Vermillion Flame's wings, Irina looks at it in disbelief, realizing that she must've seen that flaming wings somewhere.
" Madam Irina, create a barrier for yourself. " Draven orders her as he prepares to strike.
" For this flames would probably cause an extreme heatwave to its surroundings. " Draven tells her as he performs the 'Blazing Scorch', burning Gidhra in order to wound her more.
" Krakh! " Gidhra screams in pain as Draven burns her in front of Irina, which gave her a great chill to her spine on Draven's display.
"( By the Mana... )" Irina sees it with her own eyes, the damage of what Draven's [Vermillion Flame] could bring.
" It can't be? " Irina says while seeing Draven, her suspicion increased.
< (!) WARNING (!) >
< " Subject [Irina Richter-Grimshaw]s suspicion has increased. " >
