Chapter 34: Forest Dungeon (3)
" So you're saying that you only come here to train yourself!!! "
" Do you even know that kids below 10 years old are illegal to even hold a magical weapon? " said the Hunters as they were continuously interrogating Donovan with many questions and asked him about himself like actual police.
While Donovan is dealing with them, Tania the Dark Elf decides to do her thing as she releases some black like worms or centipedes kinda thing from her palm as the very little creatures then crawl out of it and then crawl up into the ceiling while the Hunters and Donovan are still discussing.
"( Oh my, look at what we have here. )"
"( Another test subject, many humans can be corrupted by the Aether Worms. )" she thinks to herself while the Hunters are still asking Donovan about himself without no end and scans him if he's really a human, not a monster.
" The child is a human, Group Leader ... it's just... "
" He must've been mutated by something since my scanners also scan many kinds of DNA inside him. " the Hunter says to the Group Leader which makes all of the hunters ready their weapons as it seems they not only have to deal with the Dark Elf, but it seems they had to deal with Donovan as well which made Donovan had to equips his sword again to defend himself against such paranoia from the Hunters.
" If the boy is mutated, then there's a chance that the monster genes may have been more powerful than the human one!!! " said the group leader as he states the thing he feared since he consider that Donovan might be close to being a monster rather than a human as he sees him from his pitch-black skin.
In that sudden condition, the Aether Worms then arrived on top of the hunters which made Donovan shocked as he sees upwards, he tried to warn them but the hunters somehow are too deep in their fears, for they all immediately ignores his warnings and attack Donovan which they now move right below the Aether Worms, making the worms had a good landing spot.
" Auw!!! what is... " said the hunters as the worms come to their bodies through their opened body vents like ears and mouths.
As it happens, Donovan immediately looked back at Tania as he then summons all of his Black Shadow Summons and Servants since the Hunters slowly turn into monstrous beings.
" You!!! what have you done to them!!!? " Donovan asks which Tania then reply with a laugh.
" AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! oh, my dear pitch-black boy!!! "
" It seems you are new into this world aren't you, O little boy. " Tania says while she also asks about Donovan's current age Donovan reveals that he is still nine years old which made Tania laugh again for she teases Donovan for being so young, telling him that there is much for him to learn as she tells him more about the Aether Worms.
The 'Aether Worms', made from the ancient accursed power source called 'Aether', a powerful yet dangerous power that can affect any kind of things and this power source now are currently getting dispersed in any realms after Ragnarok occurred.
The Worms that are currently in the Hunters' bodies are one of the creatures that were affected by the Aether's power and the worms are constantly used by the Dark Elves and some other monster races to forcefully recruit more members into their kind.
" Minutes later, you will find that those worms will turn them into a minion of our races, a lesser Dark Elf with a berserker strength, perfect for battle. " Tania says as the Hunters' transformation is complete where the 'Aether Worms' had transformed them from the human they once were into a berserk and barbaric muscled elf-like creatures which had the same height as an Orc.
Seeing that, Donovan then orders his Black Shadows to help him deal with the monsters as he then looks back at Tania who wants to flee the scene.
" Hold it right there!!!!! " Donovan says, blocking her path and wounding her in the chest with his blade.
" Oh my, boy you're so rude!!! " Tania says as she touches the scratch on her upper chest.
Seeing that, Donovan tells her that he is sorry for attacking her like that and ripping her good-looking clothes, as he was very dishonored to even making her breast get seen a bit at that very moment.
But, instead of being angry, Tania instead forgives him as she tells Donovan that it is nothing compared to the real war, she tells Donovan that in war, a ripped-clothes is are just the start where the war is the condition where everything you have to get's ripped up from you.
" I'm sorry, I didn't ... " Donovan say with a flustered face, while Tania responded with a smile and says.
" You think I will be angry with you just because you slashed my upper clothes," she says while covering her breast with her right hand, while the other holds the blade.
" You're so naive, a ripped clothes is just the beginning of disgrace if you are in the real battle, like me before I met you. "
" In the real battle, however, you will see that your enemy will torture you, mutilate you and abuse you like hell!!! " she says to Donovan the most adult words of war you can ever tell to a kid like him, hearing that Donovan cried a bit since his young brain and mentality hadn't been adjusted to the brutality of war, even though he was already trained for it.
Especially when Tania told him that there are events where the enemy lets you live instead of killing you, but then the enemy will slowly destroy you and hurt you, making you want to die which made Donovan angry for he is too naive to hear such words.
" Enough!!! enough!!! " Donovan says as he told his Black Shadows to quickly deal with the Berserker Hunters as they immediately killed them with their numbers. Donovan then decides to attack and kill Tania immediately before she speaks other irritating words as he slashes Tania with rage and uses many of his skills which deal her more damage.
" Enough of your speech, Dark Elf !!!! "
" Die !!!!! "
