Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 136: Vermillion Flame Part 3

The 'Vermillion Fire', is the greatest out of all flames.

It is the flame of the Phoenix itself, the flame that couldn't be turned down in any way or in any scenario.

The Vermillion Family had cultivated this elemental magic type in their bloodline, maintaining the Phoenix power within their blood.

In every generation, the Vermillion Fire user is meant to destroy anything that stands in the Vermillion House's way, even Ashford Vermillion already knew this since his childhood.

...

"( The Vermillion Fire is awesome, with this, no one could stand against me... )" Ashford says as he uses his fire at everyone who dares comment a thing about him, he uses his fire to harm those who dared stand against his fiery desire, his Vermillion Fire in his heart burns wildly, making him passionate in everything.

He does that to justify his actions, Ashford knows that in this world, only the strong and the violent are the ones who are just, not the good and selfless as everybody proclaims, he knows this reality to be true that with his strength, power, and violence, he could destroy any threats that come to him, while also claiming everything that he wants.

...

I had burned everything that stands in my way.

My enemies, rivals, and competitors are all burned.

Even those below me who dare revolt against me, I burned them alive publicly without fear.

For I am Ashford motherf*king Vermillion, the descendant of the Phoenix Fire Wielder.

Why should I even give mercy to those who stand against me? it's asinine.

So what if they don't like my ways, I could still burn them and become victorious.

After all only the victorious could write anything in history, right?

With my ancestral's fire, I shall burn those who dare without mercy, to keep becoming victorious.

I will do it, it has proven many times that with my violent actions, I can keep the House's slavery business for a long time that even the authorities wouldn't dare to investigate me.

Those slaves, I burned their homes, giving them no place to return for they are mine, those exotics.

With those I have done, then things should've gone peacefully and perfectly for me.

But...

This guy came...

...

" Dammit! " Ashford says as he was beaten up by Draven horrendously.

" Do ya want to continue? " Draven asks, asking Ashford if he could continue beating the shit out of his f#kin mind.

" What do you say you short-robed bastard!? " Ashford replies, he immediately unleashes another of his Vermillion Fire Magic.

[ Vermillion Fire Reborn, Burn Blaze ]

Ashford's body is filled with the Vermillion Fire, fiery Vermillion wings begin to be created behind him, while his hair also turns into fire.

As he used it, the ground begins to be filled with more Vermillion Fire, everything that existed in the place is burned with his magic, even those who served him that stays in that radius.

" Ya must be so desperate that you have no choice but to burn things ya have, didn't ya? " Draven asks as he sees Ashford's actions. 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝔩.𝔠𝖔𝔪

" Don't worry, they could return, replaced... " Ashford simply replies, telling Draven that the building he has, the one he burns here, the residence, the garden, the pool, the soldiers, guards, girls, maids, etc can easily be replaced for a new one will simply replace those that were burned.

" Things that one have is like a Phoenix, once it dies out, they will become ash... "

" But from the ashes itself, a Phoenix will be born... "

" Just like people, their lives come and go... "

" To care so much about them is asinine, just f#k'em the dead could be replaced with a newer one, right? " Ashford asks Draven.

" Draven? " Ashford asks as he then attacks Draven using [Vermillion Fire Bomb], which creates a large explosion.

" Eat that, 'grosse merde' " Ashford says as he bombs Draven away, but still.

< Hard Punch >

" KUOK! " Draven punches Ashford as he dispersed the Vermillion Fire around him using his shockwave and...

" Now you've done it... " Draven says as he equips < Aether Black Shadow Symbiotic Armor (SS) >

< Aether +44.000 >

< DEF +42.000 >

< [Aether Defense] Effect Applied >

With the armor, Draven evades the flame's destructive power, the armor protects him for the Black Shadow also absorbed parts of it.

[ Black Shadow Symbiotic Defense Weapon: Black Suckage ]

"( The Black Shadow really can suck anything, huh? )" Draven says.

...

< The Black Shadow Armor had absorbed some parts of the object [Vermillion Fire]... >

< Vermillion Fire Material for data adding: 45.89%/100.00% >

...

"( Guess I need more, to acquire it. ) " Draven says as he just simply walks towards Ashford's location for he blasts him with any Vermillion Fire in his arsenal, wasting his every Mana in order to burn Draven up.

" BURN B*CH BURN! "

" WHY WON'T YOU DIE!? " Ashford blasts him with [Vermillion Fire Blast] while Draven takes all of it as he charges through.

" HAHAHA, become ashes, Draven! "

" I don't know who you are or what you are, but know this! "

" Once you become ashes, I'm going to ask someone to do a DNA Test on you, and I will figure out who you are and destroy those you cared about!? "

" DO YOU HEAR ME!? YOU FRIED CHICKEN! " Ashford laughs, he burst out laughing for there is no way that Draven would survive.

" Ya assume too much... " Draven suddenly says amidst all of that laughter as he then gives Ashford another powerful <Hard Punch>, this time, with a bigger shockwave that disperses all of the fire around.

" Impossible, how did you? " Ashford wonders how the hell Draven managed to survive.

...

< The Black Shadow Armor successfully absorbed the object [Vermillion Fire]. >

< Vermillion Fire Material for data adding: 100.00%/100.00% >

< Black Shadow Suckage completed. >

...

" Ya had no idea, on who just you face... "

" Ashford Vermillion... " Draven says as he punched Ashford so hard once again, but this time, into the ground.

As he punched him into the ground, Ashford then begins to feel depressed, his fire fades, both physically and mentally, and he lost his spirit that always yearns for victory.

" I... I, lose? " Ashford realized this, he realizes that there is no way to be sparked with fiery ambition again, all of it is gone for Draven had already sucked it to himself, all that he has.

" How does it feel, Ash? " Draven asks Ashford after he sees him now, unable to do a thing.

" Can ya rise up again, like a Phoenix? " Draven asks Ashford again, but hell he had no power and strength to do so.

He had lost, his powers had failed him, and the legendary magic now vanished from him, wiped out for no ashes of it remains in him.

< Boss Fight Completed >

< Acquiring Rewards >

< EXP Gained >

" Hmph, I see then... " Draven says as he sees the Black Shadow Dark Elves, who watched the fight still with him.

" Young master...? "

" I congratulate ya all for surviving this, to witness it all... "

" Even if ya could all return to the [Shadow Realm], but still... "

" The honor is ours, Young Master! " the Black Shadows says to Draven.

" After all, it is our greatest honor to witness every battle you have, for you are our savior, our savior from death! " they say to Draven regarding that, as Draven then looks around.

" From death..., huh? " Draven says as he looks at the burned-dead bodies in the place, he looks back to Ashford on the ground, seeing him for a while.

" Young Master, should we end him? " the Black Shadow Dark Elf says.

" Nah, just take him to the [System Space], tell Tania to extract him. "

" For despite his deeds in the past, we needed him since I want some info regarding the things I thought about for some time. "

" Acknowledged, young master. " they all say, bringing Ashford to the [Shadow Realm] for extraction.

" The Vermillion is down, now what can I gain from him in this matter? " Draven asks as he then walks around the burned place.

" Hmph, I know... " Draven says while he sees there are many corpses around.
