Chapter 23 - Once or Twice

I had made my way back to Keele's Dungeon by myself. I was standing outside, not too far from the entrance. I hesitated to enter because I felt some weird, creepy aura from within the Dungeon.

Should I investigate by myself...? I could get (BF/N) or someone...No, I'll investigate first.

I cautiously made my way inside of the Dungeon. At first it was hard to see but my eyes adjusted to the dark quickly. I arrived at the bottom of the stairs, and to my surprise, the room was littered with these small doll looking things. They wore a small dark blue suit and wore a mask that the left side was white, and the right was black. The mask only covered their eyes, showing their smiling mouths.

What...the hell...?

They all suddenly turn to me.

"Uuuuh...Hi...?"

One of them waddles over to me and hugs my ankle.

"Awww~! Aren't you cute—"

I'm cut off as it explodes. Thankfully to my max defence I survived the explosion with a small cut. They all began making their way towards me. I have my palm touch the ground and use Stream, shocking the dolls and making them all blow up. I had to use Barrier to block the rubble.

I made my way deeper into the dungeon using Concealment half the time to avoid the dolls. I peek around a corner and see someone sitting on the ground, creating the dolls out of thin air. They look like the dolls...but normal human size.

???: "I know you're there."

I flinch and reveal myself and walk around the corner.

"How'd ya know?"

???: "I could sense your power."

"Ah right. So I assume you're the one making all those exploding dolls?"

???: "That'd be me."

"Why?"

???: "I've got to search this dungeon for a certain something. I'm creating these dolls to keep people out."

"...Why'd you just tell me your plan."

???: "Well thats cause I know who you are."

"Ah right. And you are...?"

He stands up from his sitting position, he's a bit taller than I am.

Vanir: "I am Vanir. One of the many Demon King Generals!"

I jump back in surprise and get into a fighting stance. Vanir raises one hand.

Vanir: "Now now. No need to be so hasty. I'm only here to find something, not fight anyone."

"But yet, you're still a Demon King General, I can't let you live."

Vanir: "Worry not, about me. Worry about one other General. Way stronger than moi. Not too far from here now...!"

He smiles, but it's a creepy smile, full of murderous intent.

Should I try to fight him or run? He did say there's another one approaching...but how can I trust him?

I look at him, and back towards the way I came.

"What, so if I stay it'd be a two v one?"

Vanir: "Yes, sir!"

I grunt.

"Fine. I'll get out of here. But before I leave, any tips you can give me for this other General?"

Vanir: "Now why would I do that?"

"...Well it was worth a try."

I began making my way to the exit of the dungeon. I exit the dungeon and arrive at the surface. Once again, I can feel a weird presence in a certain direction. I use Volt and teleport all the way back to the mansion surprising my companions in the living room.
