Truth Seekers

Chapter 16: Tragedy

Dom's attack managed to split the Goblin King's body in two.

“Fyuh ... It turns out this movement is more difficult than I thought.” Dom managed to defeat the Goblin King quite easily.

Richard who had previously only shown his ridiculous expression turned stunned. Richard did not believe that Dom could learn sword techniques even at a fairly difficult level.

What the fuck is this kid? What Octo has taught.

Because Dom is hiding big things to his teacher, putting him in big trouble.

Richard approached Dom with a sharp gaze and a murderous aura. Dom who realizes it is trying to run, but Richard's hand is already in Dom's head so that makes it can not go anywhere.

“Hey midget, it seems that when I'm not around you secretly practice swords huh.” Richard squeezed Dom's head harder and harder accompanied by an evil smile.

“Uaaa my head is crushed .. my head! No!!” shouted Dom who tried to let go of Richard's hand but could not.

“You better have a reason for this. If not, maybe I'll burn your head with that monster.” Richard further squeezed Dom's head along with a threatening tone of speech.

“Uaaaa old man release me!!! My head will be ugly like you.” Although Dom's head was still squeezed by Richard, Dom still mocked him.

Richard's anger grew even more after Dom taunted him.

This kid ... I'm really gonna blow it up later.

Although Richard was still upset especially when Dom ridiculed him. But he could not bear to see his disciple in pain so he removed his hand from Dom.

Afterwards, Dom recounts the reason he practiced the sword technique and is also prepared with the consequences received if he cannot control it.

Richard could only blame Octo because he could not forbid Dom from practicing sword techniques. Even so, Richard slightly understood why Octo could be destroyed.

Hmm. .. He must have used a trick to convince Octo, I forgot to tell him that this brat is very cunning.

“Huft .. alright Dom, I will not forbid you to practice using the sword, but you must promise me one thing.”

“What is it?” Dom is still holding his broken head.

“You have to accept the fact that one day your body cannot remove the element because of this. I'm not a scare, but using other skills will affect the structure of your body. So if the worst possibility is like that, then I can't help you anymore.”

Hearing Richard's words, Dom fell silent for a moment. Plus, Dom already knows that the consequences of learning some skills are severe.

However, he could not wait for such an uncertain thing as on his current magic power. Dom prefers to bet instead of just waiting for people to bribe him.

“Calm uncle, after all I already know the limits of my current strength, which means I will accept whatever the consequences,” Dom replied with a confident face.

“Well if that's the case I can't ban you, after all the one who decides the choice is yourself. And another one .. make your teacher surprised when you become a Magic Swordsman.”

“Magic Swordsman?” ask Dom.

“That is the designation for the person who mastered magic as well as the sword technique.”

Wow that name sounds cool, hehehe this makes me more motivated to train even harder. Maybe after this I will add a portion of the exercise.

Just as they thought that this Dungeon was about to end, the sound of monsters came back from the end of the cave, but this time it was different.

“Deg deg,” Richard's body felt something dangerous coming from the end of the Dungeon.

Dom who saw the face of his teacher looks frantically ran to the back to take cover.

“Gerrrr .. how dare you disturb my sleep.” A monster started walking from the cave passage.

“Dom stay behind me.” Richard knew that this monster was a little dangerous so he didn't want Dom to get hurt.

“Gerr ...,” the monster finally showed its form.

Richard's face was a little surprised because what he would be up against was a monster with the equivalent strength of Rank A.

“Isn't that a Sphinx?? Looks like this is pretty serious.” Seeing that the monster was strong enough, Richard tried to find a way to escape.

Actually Richard could fight it easily. But ... currently he is carrying Dom and is reluctant to take risks. Moreover, he did not want to experience the same thing as happened to his son who died in the Dungeon.

“Alright Dom, listen ... once I launch an attack, we will run out of this Dungeon.” Richard began to cast his fire magic as a sign that the preparations were ready.

Following ....

“Element api ... Burst Fire! Now Dom.” They ran away from the area, but unexpectedly, the Sphinx unleashed an attack with considerable destruction.

“Lion Roar!” The monster retaliates against Richard's attack, causing damage to the Dungeon's roof.

Fractions from the damaged roof hit hard towards the ground, causing the Dungeon to split apart. Dom who was quite a distance away from Richard fell to the bottom of the dungeon thus keeping them apart.

“Uaaaa!” Dom fell in the rubble.

“DOM!!”

Seriate...
