Child from the Dungeon

[ Black Merchant's Place ]

Black Merchant had already cleaned his mess, but as he cleans it, he hears a huge crash in the other room.

" What the... " Black Merchant as he feels a certain presence inside the room.

" You can't be serious, this fast? " Black Merchant then proceeds to go the destined room, he opens the door and he sees many of his Pet Monsters, the Monsters he tamed with his magic and made invisible in order for them to guard his place, are all visible and laid dead on the ground, filled with their own blood.

" *puff* *puff* " a fainting voice could be heard, Black Merchant looks at it and sees Tenebrae standing on top of the corpses, filled with so much blood.

" Wow, you had f*king Dragon-descended creature here? " Tenebrae asks as he lifts a Drake Monsters' corpse and throws it in front of Black Merchant.

Black Merchant sees the Drake's corpses with silence and then set his sights on Tenebrae once more.

" How do you wake up? " Black Merchant asks how Tenebrae awakens from his slumber, for as if he remembered, he changed Tenebrae's pod into a Cryo Stasis Pod in order to make stasis more than before.

" Oh, that's a long story... " Tenebrae chuckles.

" But speaking of which, I assume you are acquainted with the name, Duncan Grimshaw, Mr.? " Tenebrae asks as he steps down from the pile of bloodied corpses.

He approached the Black Merchant, while leaking more of his Dark Presence in front of him.

" Hmph, I see... "

" So this is why the Nyx Nocterra hold you special. " Black Merchant says as he realized it.

" Your Dark Magic, you didn't just mastered such a complex magic in your early age... "

" You even synced yourself with it. " Black Merchant realized as he sensed how powerful Tenebrae's Dark Magic had become.

"( I see, the Dark Magic Duncan accumulated is... )" Black Merchant then gets approached by Tenebrae.

" Now then, kind sir... "

" Would you like to tell me about the things happened during my absence? " Tenebrae asks the Black Merchant.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ Nyx Nocterra's Private Residence, Nyx Nocterra's Prison ]

* Screeching screams. *

In the wide space of the Nyx Nocterra prison, an Advanced Disguising Creature had been apprehended. Now chained and tortured, the Nyx Nocterra's begin to question him about what happened to Tenebrae and also trying to extract his body.

" Such a monstrous body...~ " said one of the Creature's torturer as she touches it.

" Hmm~ " she says as she clings to it, licking the blood spilled out by the Creature's very flesh.

" Such a unique taste... "

" Of all monsters appearing from the Gates, I've never taste one such as you. " said the woman to the creature.

" What are you, O monster? " asked the woman as he slurps the blood that enters her lips.

"( Nocturna Nyx Nocterra... )" said the Advanced Creature as he sees her touching his very chained body and sips his Blood.

Not only sipping his rolling blood, Nocturna also proceeds to bite every part of flesh she could see, vampirically bites it and drains every blood that resides.

"( Vampirism? )" he says as he sees this, realizing that there's something wrong with Nocturna.

" Grkh, get off me...! " he bashes Nocturna from his body using sheer brute body force, without his limbs moving, he bashes Nocturna with the midst of his body might.

" Akkh! " Nocturna falls and rolls as she was pushed and immediately shows her vampiric hiss.

" Curses! "

" To think there's a Nyx Nocterra such as you other than Tenebrae, even he was already difficult, he- "

" So you know where my son is? " a voice suddenly came from the dark, it was Tyrannus as he shows himself.

He approached the Creature as he then puts his hand as he uses his Magic as he do so.

" [Command Magic, Superioris Ordines ] "

[ A magic that allows one to superiorly order those below or lesser than the User. ]

" Gakh, akh! "

" Now, you Creature... "

" Identify yourself... " Tyrannus orders as the Creature's mind and body are getting forced to obey.

< User is affected by 'Command Magic', User will have to obey the command. > 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

" Garkkh, I won't... "

" It's useless... " Tyrannus orders as he forced it even more.

" My... "

" My name is Subject DG number 525, DG-525. "

" Currently as 'Duncan Grimshaw' and 'Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra'. "

" I've taken this form after biting Tenebrae Nyx Nocterra, attaining his appearance and magic. "

Duncan continues to utter what Tyrannus wants to know, making him more intrigued as well as Nocturna.

" Father, shall we torture him more. "

" Or perhaps, you could allow me to- " Nocturna asks.

" No, wait, I'm getting intrigued on what this creature revealed to us. "

" An Advanced Experimented Monster who come from the Gates, he came from a Facility so 'advanced', making himself more than just who he is, an intellectual beast nonetheless, to even able to learn so much about Magic. "

" This is a rare catch, a Monstrous Beast with a great human intellect. "

" No wonder he could defeat your brother, Nocturna..., this one had the perfect combination existed in whole of Elysium Haven. "

" In the whole Westerios even. " Tyrannus smirked, getting more interested as he tries to command the Creature more as he scours many from him.

As he could only obey, the Advanced Creature begin to think to himself, how could this happened, what did he do wrong, what flaw made him discovered after so much time being here.

"( This can't be... )" the saddened creature said but then.

< Subject 'Tyrannus Nyx Nocterra's Magic had been used to the User for too long. >

< System activating the User's Active Skill >

"( Active Skill? )"

"( I had one that could free me from this, huh? )" he asks himself as he sees the System Words showing him a skill.

< Skill: [Advanced Programing Release (Active)] -- (LVL.5) >

< A skill thanks to the User's 'Advancement' in the facility, a skill made from the User's own advanced modification, programming the User to be freed from other programming or hypnotizer, if it already wants to scour the most important information from the User. >

"( This skill? )"

"( I thought it's useless...? )" he asks while the System asks him to activate it which he did as the skill activated and make him free from Tyrannus' Command Magic.

" Rah! " he gets freed and immediately bites Tyrannus' hand on top of him.

* Tyrannus' shocked. *

" This is what happened if one dares to use me again, Tyrannus Nyx Nocterra. " he says to Tyrannus as he bites the arm.

" DIE! " he uses his strength, drawing the Wind and Dark Magic out of him as he uses it all to free himself from his chains after being weakened for so long.
