Child from the Dungeon-Chapter 197: Dusk the Lumine

( In an unknown place. )

" You lost the 'Dark Core', master! " Inspector Frank asks Tenebrae about it.

" Hey, don't shout at me like that! "

" Who do you think you are!? To shout at me right after I just got back? "

" But, the Core? "

" Can be replaced, Frank. "

" Don't worry about it, we still have more, remember. "

" It's not like the knights have it as proof against our illegal endeavors anyway. "

" What happened to the Core, exactly? " Frank asks Tenebrae which Tenebrae explains to him the whole thing.

" Draven again? " Frank asks as he sighs.

" Yeah, he is actually Donovan for that matter..., I told you didn't I? " Tenebrae tells Frank bluntly.

" Donovan? You mean... "

" Duncan's son, who else do you know had that name? " Tenebrae asks Frank Frank replied again with a sigh.

" Want me to finish him, sir? " Frank asks Tenebrae politely.

" Finish him? For what? "

" We didn't actually clash, Frank..., you could say Donovan helped me in making our movement more secret than ever by making the Monster Witch disappear from this world, along with that 'Dark Core' I planted on her. "

" That 'failed one'... " Tenebrae tells it.

" So that's why I see in the news that witch goes on a rampage, you didn't control her? " Frank asks Tenebrae, realizing that Gidhra didn't wreak havoc in the Capital per Tenebrae's influence.

" Nah, she's too mad to be even influenced, I regret using her. "

" Because of that, I had to interfere and help the knights deal with my problem, even though I'm not sure that will work, but thankfully. "

" Draven, Donovan, always come to save the day, to save everyone's day including me...! "

" Pretty lucky for me, don't you think? "

" Well, I don't know... " Frank scratches his head.

" I think in the future, that boy will interfere with us again, so that's why, earlier..., I... "

" Don't finish him, Frank, I warn you! " Tenebrae orders Frank.

" And I also order you not to reveal his second identity too, let him have his secrecy protected... "

" For now... " Tenebrae says as he then looks at the factory below him, to see everything that goes, the activity happened below, according to his plan.

" Besides, I believe Donovan's 'Draven' secret will be exposed much sooner. "

" I already see the mere signs, so it seems there's no need to rush that for now. "

" After all, judging from my past encounters with him, he's more of a 'help' for me than an enemy like Duncan. "

" So I planned to keep him and see whatever else he could help me with, right Frank? "

" Great idea, isn't it? " Tenebrae confidently whistles as he walks around, leaving Frank behind him sighing.

" There's no stopping you... " Frank could only do Tenebrae's orders, not that he could try to disobey him anyway.

" But still, even though I couldn't hurt or mess with Donovan... " Frank says while opening his phone.

" I could at least mess with Duncan, right? " Frank says as he then messages some people.

" Better prepare for 'that day'. "

" Hope Duncan is around to interfere, there I could finish him in the next rematch. " Frank says sending the message and decides to turn off the lights afterward.

" Please take your time, welcome to the Dungeon we've prepared for you, Mr. Ragitor. " Tania greets Ragitor, Raksha, and their Hellorcs who came from the Gate, moving them to this Dungeon, shined by the brightest moonlight in that realm. filled with Crystals and plants, rich with clean water and Mana.

" Incredible, where did you Shadows and Betzalel find this Dungeon? " Ragitor asks which Tania tells him.

" We found this Dungeon in our free time, we Raided it for it once belong to the Elves. "

" Back then, this place is filled with traps everywhere, installed by the Elves that didn't want the Dungeon to fall into other's hands. "

" As we cleared it, it's become ours to claim, now it's yours. " Tania says to Ragitor which made Ragitor happy as he bows over her Tania respectfully bows to the Orc Chief as he and his Orcs moved into the Dungeon.

" It feels good to see a fellow 'Elves of the Night' had happiness in their faces. "

" Something we didn't require in Alviheim, as the 'Elves of the Day' scorched our lands and bring fire to our houses. "

" Now, we could have our own realm, shined by the bright moonlight, free from the Day Elves for just once. "

" It all thanks to the Young Master, he is our 'Restorator'. " Tania says as she felt grateful that she and her Dark Elves along with the Orcs could finally find at least a safer haven than before.

" Now that the Elves need many years to properly travel through the Gates as they want, you could at least have more free time, right? " Doom asks, coming behind Tania.

" Oh, hello Doom, you seem happy. " Tania responds as she sees Doom standing behind her.

" Yeah, I feel grateful for you at least feel safe, Senior Tania. " Doom tells her while scratching his head as the two see the bright moonlight from the Cave Dungeon.

"( The moonlight is so beautiful, I wish I could see it forever, just like the old times... )" Tania remembers her days back in Valiheim.

"( Your Majesties, are you watching right now? )" Tania remembers the late Dark Elf King and Queen who died before her to Flame Elf King, Frigorak.

"( The Dark Elves will survive, now we have been reborn anew under the Black Shadows. )" Tania says while crying, as she cries, Doom sees her and tries to calm her, trying to touch her, but stopped in the process.

For a minute, Doom pauses his hand, wondering if what he did is right according to his mind which he then decides to just go for it and hold Tania's shoulders, back along with her hand with his giant arms.

" Hmm? " Tania sees Doom holding her and reacted to his hold as she could feel the hand so gently touching her.

" Thanks, Doom. " Tania puts her hand on Doom's finger, as she folded it to cover her body, the two then watches the skies of night, enjoying the moment.

" I hope both of us could enjoy this forever, senior... " Doom says to Tania.

" Yes, hope all of us will... "

" Right, Young Master... " Tania prays as she witnesses the beautiful moon.

" Our 'Restorator'. "
