"There's a monster here too," Kira said.
"Yes," Raito replied, his tone sharp. "But the one I sense has already killed some of the humans. I can feel it."
"So… are you saying we should separate?" Kira asked.
"Well, yes," Raito said. "To make things faster. I'm sure you can handle the monsters in your path. But the one ahead of me… might be A rank. Maybe even S rank. I'll take that one down myself."
He summoned a few undead from his army to follow Kira. "These ones will go with you," he said, "so I'll know what's happening where you are."
Kira nodded. "Got it."
Then, they split, each taking a different path, their footsteps echoing through the endless stone corridors.
Raito moved deeper into the left tunnel, the air growing colder with every step.
Kira turned right, gripping her sword tightly as the faint blue lights faded behind her.
Raito kept moving through the dungeon. He wasn't following Kira anymore, he was alone.
Everything around him was pitch black.
