Chapter 25: Duncan's Choice
"( Who should I save first ...? )" I say to myself as tensions are getting high since Irina is getting more furious on the floors below.
"( Seriously, what triggers her this time? )" I ask myself as I thought she had abandoned this behavior a long time ago before our very marriage since I remember she promised me she won't be easily angered again and...
"( Use her <Rumbling Magic> again ...!!!! )" I remember her most powerful magic as I remember that very magic that enables her to destroy many monsters during our times battling monsters.
Back then, she was very furious as she constantly uses her <Rumbling Magic> to create large quakes and rumblings against the attacking monsters which she wipes them all with ease as her stomp will unleash giant earth cliffs which able to knock out hundreds or even thousand goblins, orcs and many other below B rank monsters.
I remember that at the time, we need at least many Mages and Relics to contain her Strong Magic since she always destroys everything if she wasn't stopped immediately when using this magic.
Right now, while thinking I then also think about Donnie as I didn't even hear a voice from him inside his room which makes me afraid that Rodrigo has already taken him away which made me more panic as the situation is getting worse.
While I think for a bit, I then quickly decide what to do as I immediately go to Donovan's room as rushed there as fast as I can.
At that moment, I burst out the door with my magic as I see the bloodied Rodrigo is aiming his blade at Donovan, preparing to kill him I then immediately used my full Wind Magic.
< Tornado Push >
Using the magic, I immediately push Rodrigo out with my Wind Magic's full strength as I took Donovan out.
" Donnie, are you okay? "
" Oh hey, dad .. " Donnie answers calmly.
" Where have you been? where's mommy? "
" No time to explain Donnie, mommy's condition is not good ..!!! "
" First daddy should get you out from this place since your mom is going to explode !!!! " I tell Donovan while running into his window I picked him with my hand jumping out from our villa as both of us can hear Irina's screams of anger as I can also feel her Mana Aura spreading outside.
" Donovan hold tight !!!!!!!!!! " I say while jumping out of the room with Donovan in my hands as I immediately use my <Sonic Step> in order to bring him far away from Irina's magic.
" Stay here, Donnie !!!! " I say to him as I put him into a large tree which I deemed safe from Irina's Rumbling magic.
As I secure Donovan's location with my <Warding Wind> magic, I immediately return to Irina as I planned to subdue her on time, before she crushes everything as I see that the ground in our villa cracks and the crack is seen to be spreading as I heard the rumbling inside.
As I leap into the sky, I use my flight ability to go into my wife's location I see her stomping the ground with blind rage as I see her stomping a dead corpse of Rodrigo's men.
"Irina !!!!!!!!!!!!! " I call her and she then looks at me with red eyes as her skin also changes.
"( Isn't that!!!!? ) " I was shocked as her skin turned more dragon-like which reminds me of something.
....
( Years ago. )
" <Dragon Curse> ...? " I asked Hector about it.
" Yes, do you have ever heard of it? " Hector asks me again.
Back then, I and Hector were discussing the preparation for our marriage and at that very time, Hector decided to reveal to me something about Irina as he thinks that since I will be her husband, I should know.
" The inevitable curse of the Dragon Slayer Knight? " I asked.
" Yes, a curse that our family bear after centuries of slaying dragon monsters. "
" Many ages ago, before the Ragnarok even begin... "
" Our ancestor, the Dragon Slayer Siegfried had to bear this curse as Fafnir once cursed him and his descendants, pure or unpure with a curse that makes a dragon out of them if their emotions reach their highest peak. "
" When I say their 'highest peak', is the part if one of our family members had an incredible kind of emotions which unnaturally increase their body's magic. "
" This emotional and magical increase will happen unnaturally, which our family sometimes called the curse to be, ... "
" <Dragonic Possession>. " Hector explains to me briefly as he then tells only a big picture of the curse that Irina had from during her childhood since Hector and the whole Richter House felt that the 'Dragon Curse' is strong within Irina which Hector had to try sealing her using many attempts in order to prevent her for becoming the very monster that curses their family.
" I see, ... so the reason why you talk with me today is? "
" Yes, Duncan ... " Hector looks at me.
" As Irina's soon-to-be future husband, you will definitely be responsible for anything that happens to her. "
" Responsible for her happiness, her financials, her honorary, and last one ... "
" ... "
" Her conditioning, which I am here to teach you how to condition her if her Dragonic Possession suddenly burst out without me and the other Richter family available within your range of call. "
" I see, does this conditioning comes in the form of...? "
" Sealing Magic? .. yes !!! "
" What I'm here to teach you is the ability you should master if you really want to have my daughter as your wife. "
" For she will be in your care for the rest of her life and as her father, I must also ensure that her chosen 'husband' should know some 'ways' to take care of her. "
" Especially, when taking care of her 'curse'. " Hector says as he then proceeds to show me how to do the sealing technique.
" Duncan, before you marry Irina .. "
" This training is the last test I will give to you, in order to prove your capabilities. "
" For marrying my daughter... "
" I am ready ..." I said to Hector.
..
( Back into the present.)
" I will seal her ... " I prepare the magic as I avoided her ground attacks while focus preparing the magic that Hector taught me in order to condition her.
" I hope my Mana is enough, to help the spell's performance ... " I murmured as the situation is getting direr.
