Before long after my Core was destroyed, A giant explosion resounded and the little mountain that was containing my Dungeon is completely destroyed.

Turning into nothing but rubble.

"Miss Alicia, was that the dungeon collapse?" ( Elina )

Its no wonder she is confused, it's most likely Mr.Paladin.

"Of course not, my Dungeon Collapse doesn't use explosions. Most likely whatever that C-rank did is the cause."

Elina looks worried, although I'm to blame for enraging that demon-like paladin.

I never thought he would go as far as to do that.

Ah, I shouldn't reveal too much of the information I hold since I'm not even sure if these artificial dungeon builders are capable of the same connection.

And that paladin might kill me on the spot if he knows and is still there.

I'll play dumb for now, so, please Pride, don't do anything nor reveal anything that might endanger me further.

"I need to head back and check on my friends, can you please come along?, don't worry I won't reveal anything about you." ( Elina )

She says so but why do I need to come as well?

I definitely don't want to see that paladin again.

"Is there a reason I'm needed where you're heading?" ( Alicia )

"Um..." ( Elina )

No reason, ALL THE BETTER!

"Since I want to tag along with you, I'm afraid you'll run off without me." ( Elina )

"As long as we continue our business, for your blood, I shall allow you to follow me in return. I shall wait for you." ( Alicia )

"Then, I will be back in an hour or so." ( Elina )

With that, she has taken off.

What should I do, I'm having serious thoughts of running off without her.

Well, knowing Pride, It would definitely wait.

Never breaking one's words, much.

Well then, I'll just wait here, and study those few moments I caught of the C-ranker.

The moments he unleashed all that power.

What I saw should be Aura right?

----

It looked dark and demonic, giving me a feeling like I was looking at an actual demon from the monsters catalog.

...

Even by studying it from every angle and at every instant, I couldn't understand anything about it.

I do know one thing though, the instant before he disappeared from my omniscience view, It looked like he transformed into something else.

I couldn't make it out because all that dark aura was in the way, obstructing my view.

If he turned into an actual demon then...that would make him out as some kind of Demon Paladin.

Oh, Elina's back.

"Why the long face? did you find some dead riff raffs displease you?" ( Alicia )

Please stop with the insensitive lines, please.

Well, she does look rather troubled currently.

"Thankfully all my friends are alive, but the problem is....." ( Elina )

???, whats with the silence, hey, please say it already.

"Speak, you are starting to test the limits of my patience." ( Alicia )

"...The White Demon is out for your head." ( Elina )

......

...what?

"Explain" ( Alicia )

Now Elina is unsure of what to say, but White Demon?, does she mean that Paladin.

Well, at first all I could see from him was a sort of white aura.

Just that it had to turn dark in the end.

"White Demon is renowned for his capabilities and his title comes from being a berserker, even among the C-ranks he is very powerful and is deadly when he enters his 'berserker state'. Whatever he experienced in the dungeon was enough to keep him in the berserker state for quite a while. Also, he cannot get his armor off nor pull his sword out of its sheath, and he has quite a bit of rubble stuck to him. We can only imagine what sort of horrors lay beyond the riddles." ( Elina )

"..." ( Alicia )

I have no words for this, rather I saw what happened and was responsible for applying that hyper glue to this sword.

So he was a berserker, it does explain that dark aura as some berserkers can be scarier than any demons.

Should I explain? no better to keep quiet.

"It's best if we keep your connection to that dungeon a secret, I don't know what sort of horrors you created to send that peace-loving berserker paladin onto a violent rampage. He also swore that he will find and brutally murder the creator of that artificial dungeon." ( Elina )

Great now I'm on the wanted list of a troublesome dude, Why can't you all just leave me alone? I built that dungeon to specifically to keep people away.

"Just to be clear, I didn't give away your identity to him. I don't like him very much, mainly because he is a womanizer and flirts while making advances to all woman that franking, it's a pain to deal with." ( Elina )

That's a relief.

As long as my identity is safe then I can just forget about this incident, yeah let's do so.

"If you're done then I shall start moving on." ( Alicia )

"Wait, its almost morning, Vampire's are susceptible to sunlight right?" ( Elina )

"You need not concern yourself with me as sunlight cannot affect me." ( Alicia )

Stop being surprised already, I have seen your face full of shock and disbelief more than enough times tonight.

I begin walking forward. I need to find a good place to create a new dungeon.

"Ah wait up" ( Elina )
