《HERO CHRONICLES:》BK2; Chapter 54: [ Draig Vilestone's fall ]
Advertisement
Although there are knights and some soldiers but more than half are only attendants and maids who don’t know how to fight.
“Everyone listen to me and no pushing!”
“Yes ma’am!”
The vexed Leviana started shouting loudly.
The chaos instantly eased up and slowly died down. After that everyone started to form a circle to defend in an orderly manner, showing quite a fantastical scene.
Like a brainless idiots; though they were really brainless for they only have skulls, the monsters took the spells and blades swung by some men undaunted while continuing to attack.
However, at the next moment the encirclement has been breached by one spider that was hiding behind them.
The spider raised its pointed feet towards Leviana who was put deep behind them. If not for Princess Aura’s quick perception, Leviana would have been impaled as she quickly pulled her in her embrace making the attack only grazed Leviana’s arms.
Seeing the blood falling down from the wound, Lina beside Hell has been enraged.
Her reason lost somewhere as the veins in her head snapped.
“—-How dare you mere pests bare your fangs to my benefactor’s beloved mother!!! You’re seeking death!!!”
Lina’s eyes became bloodshot.
Her hair floated upwards as the ground under her feet trembled and cracked. Bluish sparks of electricity run towards the place, electrocuting all the spiders inside.
Accompanying the blue electricity are countless blades of shadow appeared under Hell’s feet after she saw Leviana’s bloody wound.
“Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!”
The high-speed razor blades of shadow, like a tornado, started making a stirrer-like action inside the room, mincing and absorbing the groaning spiders and rattling skeletons in just a matter of seconds before both her and Lina fell on the ground.
Not even having a chance to blink, the action was already completed and like an illusion, successfully exterminated the entire enemy.
Leviana held down her hair that was blown by the wind, with a surprised action, she rushed towards Lina and the Hell.
“Lina! Hell!”
Leviana immediately checked the two and her face became worried at the same time surprised.
Lina was unconscious and Hell’s figure changed.
On top of Hell’s head were two fluffy-looking black wolf ears.
Her eyes which were originally green slit were now two black hollow eyes. Two sharp canines appeared in her mouth and in some parts of her body, especially her arms has some black fur on it.

In conclusion, Hell’s appearance was totally different, leaving Leviana stunned.
Well, not just her actually. All the people who saw the scene a while ago was dumbstruck and even the two princesses were rooted on the spot, can’t move.
The room was filled with utter silence as they look at the two in the ground.
Not minding Hell’s transformation, Leviana checked Lina’s condition and was relieved when she felt her breathing which was ragged but still good.
She then asked Hell whether she was okay or not.
Although her face was filled with tears, Hell still happily hugged Leviana’s neck.
“A, are you okay, big sister?!”
“U, un! Thanks to you and Lina~’
Hell tightly hugged Leviana, letting out a voice that sounded like she wanted to cry as she rubbed her head to Leviana’s bountiful chest.
“Hell, calm down for now we need to get –”
Out, but Leviana didn’t get to finish her sentence. When she tried to say that last word, what happened right after was —–a familiar man wearing a golden armor had been speared through the window.
“….Hah….!?”
Crash!!! The window ruptured magnificently.
The wall the man crashed into was destroyed and the whole palace shook. Leviana suddenly became speechless.
She knew that familiar man!
…it was none other than her beloved husband!
Draig Vilestone.

-A few minutes ago-
Grabbing the handle of a black spear, Hades continued to smile leisurely in that spine-chilling manner.
“O brave little human, I applaud your spirit for standing up against me. I shall give you a reward fitting for your foolish courage and bravery by using my treasured spear. This is the [Spear of the Damned] forge from millions of dead souls…please do your best to survive”
“Ugh, you…!”
Hearing that declaration of a killing strike that looks like offering a very spicy pizza with an unhealthy cola, Draig abandoned his thoughts to accept and endure it.
Taking that attack head on is like knocking the door of Hades himself while saying ‘I’m here as a freebie! Take me now!’
Although he was wearing the legendary class armor [Sun Knight’s Armor] that shone glaringly, his instincts were still screaming at him that the next punch would shatter his little life in a hundred or more pieces.
And he wasn’t an idiot to just wait for that to happen.
He instantly used his strongest barrier spell and buffs himself with numerous strengthening magic.

Noticing Draig’s actions, Hades channeled his strength and —
“Well, you’re quite pretty good for a human. I didn’t expect to have some fun with the descendant of that guy~ Good bye then”
—throw the [Spear of the Damned] straight towards Draig who desperately tried to evade it.
How can this…?!
Clang!
However, even though he successfully managed to escape the pointed spear’s path, the shockwave it caused was still monstrous to the point of absurdity and it crashed through his barriers like it were sheet of papers.
The remaining shockwave caused the [Sun knight’s Armor] to cracked and sent Draig flying at the speed faster than a bullet.
“””””Master Draig!!!”””””
The soldiers and knights who was silently watching the events unfold, screamed their fears while looking at him flying towards the palace building.
BOOOOM!!
Draig Vilestone crashed through the window into the wall.
Smoke and dust billowed like a cloud from the point of collision.
Shattered debris was sent flying into the air and cries of alarm and pain started to spread.
“AaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhHHHHHhhhhhh!!”
The people inside the room scrambled while screaming and shouting.
Although Draig tried to lift her upper torso into a sitting position, the best he could do was to prop himself up a little before weakly hanging his head down limply while spitting a mouthful of blood.
He survived!
The legendary class armor truly fits for its grade. If not because of his [Sun Knight’s Armor] that impact should have been the cause of his instant death.
“Draig! Draig! What happened! Please stay with us!”
Leviana came running towards him after recognizing his identity.
Although she was unsure of what happened but upon seeing her husband in such a state, her heart began throbbing as if going to explode.
Her tears fall down like a waterfall while propping Draig up to help him staunch the flow of blood.
With his armor in such a sorry state while continuing to bleed profusely, Draig was clearly in a critical state that was life-threatening.
How can this be!? Just what happened to him?!
The man who’s well known as the strongest knight in Berona kingdom, direct descendant of a strong Hero — had been downed into such state is clearly unimaginable.
Leviana prided herself to be the wife of a strong man but right now, holding his battered and dying body, Leviana’s tears couldn’t stop.
Her heart seemed punctured by millions of blades.
If not treated immediately, he will surely die…
So, Leviana roared at the surrounding people who were standing in daze.
“Help me! Those who can use healing magic, use it together with me!”
“Y, yes!”
In the face of Leviana’s fierce chiding, the people shrank away for a moment before moving in action.
Tearing away the clothes she was wearing, Leviana used them as the substitute of bandages to staunch the flow of blood.
An unconscious Draig was writhing while moaning:
“Levi…ana…every…one…escape quickly…he can’t be…defeated…”
Though Draig had already lost his consciousness, he was still worried about his beloved wife and his people.
But in this kind of situation, his sense of self-sacrifice had stirred up the feelings that ran contrary to his wishes.
Leviana especially who instantly threw aside her reason and roared in anger.
“Who… who dared to do this to my HUSBAND!!!”
The anger from her was so heavy that it flowed off her in waves. But that was only to be expected.
Draig Vilestone is her one and only man, her most beloved husband.
She who loved her family to the point that she can abandon anything for them, anyone want to hurt them must walk in her corpse first.
Hell beside her was also enraged as she faced the direction Draig flew from while baring her pointed fangs.
In her pocket, Aqua who was protecting Hell and Leviana in the shadows also got out and prepared herself to fight to the death.
This is their master’s beloved family, even if they die at this moment, they won’t regret it so long as they can protect the family their master loved so much.
Not far away from them, the youth—Hades, slowly and nonchalantly floated towards them.
Noticing the enraged people while looking at him as if waiting to tear him into million pieces, Hades shook his head with a troubled look.
“A-ah, I’m not really into fighting women but… if you dare face this god with that unmasked hostility, I will surely crushed you~ But let me warn you first, I’m not good at holding back so if you really want to fight, be prepared to die~”
Hades patted the little dirt that smeared on his robe as he said those words without intended malice to it while staring at the people in the ground with his body relaxed.

8 178Crucible - A Lost Dungeons Tale
All stories must begin somewhere, this one starts with the creation of the universe. What follows is a tale of chaos and order, of gods and monsters, of creation and destruction. The birth of a universe is a tumultuous journey, different entities working with opposing ideals, cooperation giving way to frustration and jealousy. It is in that dangerous concoction of emotions that the god of monsters created the first dungeon core. Forged in a crucible of dedication and desire, the first core held potential, the likes of which could surpass even the civilised mortal races. Unfortunately it was not meant to be, the core was lost in a tragic accident and its creator thought it to have been destroyed. Over one-thousand years later, the core reformed inside an extinct volcano. In time it would grow enough to learn and learn enough to grow. This is the story of the first dungeon core. Crucible, the lost dungeon core. Note: Story updates every hiatus*. *I appologise for the delay.
