Feed Part 5

< Location: Elysium Haven Capital, Eliopolis >

< Outside the Area Alter Realm's Barrier. >

"( The Area Alter Realm seems calm, I felt no chaos within it whatsoever. )" Irina states while Tenebrae still supports her by giving some of his Mana to sustain her.

Tenebrae still supports Irina but as he supports her, he felt something and grins, stopping his support for Irina.

" Tenebrae? " Irina asks him which Tenebrae then responds.

" Open the Barrier, Commander. " Tenebrae tells Irina which made her surprised.

" What are you saying? Are you mad!? " Irina asks Tenebrae for that matter.

" Just open your barrier, Commander... " Tenebrae just tells her.

" You could also feel it no longer, right? " Tenebrae asks which surprises Irina for he describes what she felt right now with such great precision.

"( This Tenebrae, how did he know I already felt the realm is at peace just now and no signs of chaos erupted? )" Irina asks herself while she decided to check again inside her Area Alter Barrier to make sure she could release the very barrier.

" Hmm... " Irina senses what's within the Area Alter Barrier as she closes her eyes, after that, she opens her eyes and deactivates her [Area Alter Magic], releasing the Barrier as she then sees Draven coming out from it, alone.

" Wow, everyone's here!? " Draven asks as he sees so many people have come to greet him.

" Everything's clear now, Commander, sorry for the time spent in there, after all, I- "

" Wait! " Draven then sees Tenebrae beside Irina.

" Tenebrae!? " Draven asks as he then prepares to attack the man but...

" Whoa, whoa, whoa! Pal! " Tenebrae releases his Mana Pressure, he releases it and gives Draven some pressure before he attacks him.

< 'Tenebrae' releases his immense [Menacing Mana Pressure]. >

" Is that your response to the one who technically helped you by helping the Knight Commander maintain her Area Alter Barrier? " Tenebrae asks while threatening Draven.

" Oh, you're helping the Commander? You!? " Draven responds by using his <Aether Aura> to counter Tenebrae's intense pressure all over the place.

The two battle their pressure over each other, using their sheer Mana to clash over the Knights of Elysium Haven.

" Such intense pressure! " said the knights who were too weak to withstand it.

" Can't move... "

" Help... "

Irina sees what both guys Mana Pressure do to her knights, she immediately decides to take action and stop threatening guys.

" Both of you, stand down! " Irina shouts over the two, and Draven and Tenebrae see her and look around at what they've done.

"( Shit! I've overdid it this time, my bad... )" Draven thinks in his mind.

"( To think the knights would crumble when I'm only releasing it at this level, what a waste... )" Tenebrae curses the knight within his mind as he stops alongside Draven who stops his pressure early on.

" Fine then, guess we'll have to stop things here. " Tenebrae stops and shrugs it off as he turns his body.

" You're leaving? " Draven asks him which made Tenebrae stops for a while.

" The crisis is over, 'Prince of Shadows'! " Tenebrae tells Draven.

" The witch is gone, for whatever you do had saved us all from her eternal hunger. "

" What more had happened? Since this mess is over we should return to rest and- "

" The 'Dark Core'!? " Draven says to Tenebrae which immediately silenced him.

" I've seen it on Gidhra's chest... "

" The same object that I also see in Queen Faelivrin's chest back in Alviheim when I was saving the Commander alongside Hunter Duncan Grimshaw. "

" The object from ancient times, used by humans who received their power from other entities, evil entities. "

" The Demons. " Draven says it which made Irina quickly stare at Tenebrae.

" Tenebrae...! " Irina increases her tone, she is quite triggered after knowing that the Monster Witch had the Dark Core within her chest, which means.

" Hahahaha! " Tenebrae laughs so hard and claps his hands.

" Yep, it was me, kukuku! " he chuckles so hard which made Irina and the knights who could stand up once more clenched their fists after hearing it.

" You, demon, it was you're doing all along!? " Irina asks and prepares to attack Tenebrae, but Draven quickly launches himself to stop her from doing so.

" It's unwise for an exhausted person to charge over the primed person. " Draven says with his words which made Irina confused at first but then realized what it meant.

" Grrkh, I agree... " Irina calms herself down, realizing that this must've been another of Tenebrae's provocations.

" You're lucky that I already exhaust myself for hours then, Tenebrae, if I were in my peak state and bring Duncan with me... "

" I'll assure you, you won't even get the chance to even say another word. " Irina tells Tenebrae which Tenebrae ignores and just leaves, retreated back into the Darkness he came as usual.

" I should leave too. " Draven tells Irina as he prepares to leave, but before that.

" Wait! " Irina halts him as she also halts the Knights who prepare to apprehend Draven during that time.

" As the Royal Knights Commander, I have to show my gratitude for you with some reward. " Irina tells Draven.

" Is there anything you would like? I can also free you from being Wanted by the officials. " Irina asks which Draven thinks for a bit.

" I only want one reward... " Draven responds as he turns his head back to see Irina.

" I want ya all to remember this moment and recount my participation in this battle. "

" For after this very night, everyone will know that Elysium Haven has a night guardian in charge, he who watches the night and will punish those who disturb the peace in Elysium Haven. "

" And the guardian name's is none other than Draven, the 'Prince of Shadows'. "

" That's all I want, thank ya very much. " Draven says it as he walks away from the knights, who don't even dare to try confronting him.

Irina also sees him walking away, she realized that Draven is not someone she could easily capture, now after he manages to get rid of Gidhra and be on par with Tenebrae.

" Wait, Draven, there's something I want to ask!? " Gidhra calls Draven and Draven stops walking for a while.

" Is it about the Witch? " Draven asks her back, which made Irina surprised after hearing it.

" Don't bother about her, she's gone from this world... "

" And I'll assure ya, that 'Gluttonous Cannibal' won't be seen again in Elysium Haven... "

" All for the better. " Draven says as he leaves the scene so easily without anyone interfering.

...

( Meanwhile. )

< Dungeon: [Realm of Disaster (Disaster)] >

Gidhra and her clones fight the realm's monsters as she feeds upon them.

" Kyahahaha! Feed! Feed! "

" I could feel my stomach being full for the first time, so much deliciousness, so much power!!! " Gidhra shouts as she and her clones feed on the monster who attacked them as they're still in battle even now.

Blood, bones, and flesh are splattered everywhere as the place is filled with horrors of battle, fought by brutes with no morality, just carnal desires, instincts, and pleasure existing within their minds.

" More, more food, more! " Gidhra and her clones shout as she murdered more, screams can be heard from the battle.

As the battle continues, Gidhra continues to feed, and she and her clones continue feeding, until...

" Keukh! " Gidhra and her clones felt an intense powerful pressure coming towards them, the pressure freezes them as well as the monsters who tried to approach them and the monsters retreated from the women's location but with huge smirks on their faces.

"( What is this? Why am I freezing, my clones too? )" Gidhra asks as this happens.

" Ohoho, what an interesting specimen. " said a voice who descends from the skies and lands just behind her.

" It seems Draven had decided to sacrifice another instead, doesn't he? Clever guy? " the voice mentions Draven as he approaches Gidhra, the main Gidhra, not her clone.

" *sniff* *sniff* You're the main one, aren't you? " the voice says as he also could sense Gidhra's 'Dark Core'.

" Kukuku, you even had a Dark Core within you, this makes you more interesting, then. " the voice asks as Gidhra then slowly looks behind her, seeing the person behind that powerful pressure and voice.

" Hmm, you make an excellent breed, I will take you from now on. " the person says as Gidhra sees the being who gives her absolute fear, the ultimate ruler of this realm.

The 'Disaster King'...

Authors note:

I don't know if I or the readers should feel bad for the woman or shouldn't.

After all, despite Gidhra may be looked beautiful in her monstrous form, she still is the most Heinous Criminal Mage to ever existed in Elysium Haven, of her constant hunger for everything.

To be honest, back then, she killed people without mercy, without any picks as she equally feeds on them all from old to young people she and her monsters captured and fed.

Now, her fate can only be interpreted in many ways. Thus ending her Boss Battle Arc for good.
