Chapter 70: Dark of the Dungeon
[ The Dark Gladius Dungeon. ]
[ Dungeon Type: Unknown. ]
.....
" The Dragon Scales and Cores are already been skinned sir, awaiting your next directives. " said the person to the person who wears a black suit as he drinks his Black Wine as the mysterious person sits on the Dragon Corpse he just killed.
" Sir...? " the man asks as the 'boss' seems to enjoy the wine too much.
As he drinks the last sip, the boss then looks at them calmly but the men who see him begin to feel fear as his sheer presence itself is beyond horrifying despite him didn't have to buff his terrifying aura with the help of Mana or whatever but simply just him being present is already enough to make any person tremble in horror.
"( Wh... why the hell do we even have to accept this person's request? ) " the hired men leader says as he and his men, some side-work Hunters who need a hunt mission outside the Hunter Association Missions can't even open his mouth to ask the person about the payment for their job.
"( This guy is .... ) " he says while looking at the person's face.
"( Is Darkness incarnate... ) " the Hunter Leader says as he then assembled his bravery in order to ask the boss about the payment that he promised.
As he says that in sweats, the boss then smirks as he picks up his MagiPhone from his pocket and wires the Credits to the Hunters he hired for this job.
"( No freaking way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )"
"( Five... five ... ) "
" Five Billion Credits... " the boss says.
" Isn't that what the contract states of your payment that I need to wire? " the boss asks them while the Hunter leader was shocked as he tells his men that their payment had come and they will share it after they leave which the boss tells them to leave immediately.
" Thank you, Mr. Nyx Nocterra. "
" Thank you for the Credits!!!! " the Hunter Leader says as he and his group leave the Nyx Nocterra House person with his men that had mainly served on his side.
" You just easily wired him the Five Billion, isn't that too much? " Investigator Frank Spike says as he approached the Nyx Nocterra person.
" You seemed unsettled, Frank? " he says as Frank tells that he knows that his payment is being cut after his defeat from Duncan back then when he and Investigator Richard Trazer want to get some explanations from Donovan.
" I see, I see that you want to make some ... correction to your mistakes...? " he says to Frank while telling him that Frank couldn't use his magic for violence without any directives from Richard since he's basically the best pointer for Frank since he's not smart enough.
" I understand Lord Nyx Nocterra... " Frank responds.
" It frustrates me to be defeated by the person that I thought to be a failure back in the old days," he says to the person as he refers to a certain someone that he used to fight back then.
" But after Richard is restored from the Possession effects, I'll assure you that I will give Duncan his reckoning. " Frank states while the Lord of the Nyx Nocterra family simply raises his wine glass and said 'suit yourself' while Frank bows and leaves the place for good.
" Give Duncan his reckoning, huh? " the person says while drinking another wine.
" How very naive, Frank? " he says while suddenly remembering about Donovan.

" So that's the well-known Child From the Dungeon, huh? "
" The child founded from the Double Dungeon of the Blackest Shadows... " he says while reading his Grimoire book that looks so disturbing and demonic as if the book is a forbidden book that only the craziest person could even read and understand it.
" The treasures and findings of the Dungeon should've been mine, if not because of Duncan Grimshaw's interference," he says as he then activates his MagiPhone to phone someone.
" Guess I'll have to greet her, huh? "
" For replacing my pawn? " he says as he contacts a woman.
" Who is this? how do you know my number? " the woman says to the mysterious person as he explains that he knows her number from a 'certain' someone that he knows in the Hunters Association and he is phoning her now to congratulate her on becoming the Warblade Guild's new Guildmaster.
" You... I don't know who you are but I'm not comfortable when some stranger decides to phone me without me knowing their identity. "
" Especially when they dare to play secrets with me, the Current Guildmaster of the Warblade Guild, Agni Resha... " the woman says, revealing herself on the phone to be the Warblade Guild's 4th Guildmaster, Agniz Resha as she states the Lord of Nyx Nocterra to reveal himself on the phone.
" I'm sorry that I couldn't state my identity to you dear Mrs. Resha, but ... "
" If you spared the lives of your previous Guildmaster, Ardun Reyroad, and his cronies... "
" Then you could've known who I am... " he says while smirking.
" Ardun ..., " Agniz says as she then asks with a serious while pausing for a bit.
" You... know... Ardun...? " she asks while the Lord of the Nyx Nocterra then says his departure from the communication and puts his Magiphone back into his pocket.
" How very entertaining? " he says as he knows that now he gets into Agniz Resha's mind after saying that he knows Ardun, after all...
" After all, I'm the one who directed his movements in the darkness... " he says as he mocks Guildmaster Agniz's intellect to not even realize his influence on her guild for too long.
" The Warblade Guild now is only a loose end, a fire of war that now can be easily swallowed by the darkness... "
" The darkness that I possess... " he states as his hand unleashes a Ball of Dark Energy, created using the Darkest of Magic possible.
(On the other hand. )
" Who is that? " Agniz says in her office.
" Ardun, and his cronies...? " she says as she then had to assemble and connect some things.
" No, it couldn't be...., right? " she says for she then grumps.
" Don't tell me? the reason why that Ardun almost turned our guild into ruin is? " she says as she then thinks for a bit about the mysterious caller.
