章節 687: Reports

After making a scene within the Mercenary Guild, The trio went straight to shopping for various things, mostly articles of clothing. From everyday attire to fashions popular to some races, the group went through all of them and had fun, especially in the Elves' specialty store. Kisuke and Kuroka had a good laugh while playing around with Yoruichi, to the point that they both received a small lump on their heads.

But since it was such a great image change, Kisuke bought various varieties for her even with Yoruichi's protests against it and threats of him being beaten up. For the reason he gave? It went like this, "We've caused so much trouble in the shop that other patrons left! The least I could do is to take away some of their merchandise!" While also facing the happy shopkeeper with a serious expression, "Young miss! Please give me more recommendations!"

After that, they went to a desolate, but good cafe. Thanks to its slightly hidden location, there weren't that many people and the ambiance was good for relaxation. Placing the items they'd just bought on the floor, the group started ordering some drinks and sweets.

After they'd relaxed enough, Kisuke took out a green orb and asked Kuroka to activate it by inputting a bit of her Magic Power, "What's this, nyaa?"

"A receiver. That's where all of Sera-tan's reports come in. After you put in your Magic Power, it'll prompt you to set up some parameters. Just make it so only the three of us can hear and see it and play it from the start."

Kuroka did what Kisuke instructed and a few seconds later, they all heard Serafall's voice inside their heads, "Ehem... Can you hear me? Is this thing working?" They all could hear some paper being flipped in the background, "Oh, it's working."

From her perspective, Serafall then started narrating any notable things from after Kisuke left for the Dizara region. First of which was Loki's complaint of Kisuke 'breaking' her precious child.

Yoruichi and Kuroka gave Kisuke a dirty look the moment they heard it and Kisuke could only defend himself by saying, "Don't blame me! She's been absorbing things so quickly and I ended up pushing how much she could take! I'm also surprised by her progress! She was already broken from the start! I didn't break her!"

But thanks to Serafall's continuous report, Kisuke was able to get away with it.

Serafall then described how the Guild, more specifically, Ouranos issued a quest to everyone from the Hestia Familia and Artemis Familia to escort the 'child of Dragon' to a certain place within the Dungeon while also secretly asking Hestia and Artemis for a personal meeting.

Sona decided to accept the quest after some discussion with the members. Since the Guild described Tanis as the 'child of Dragon', they could only follow the instructions for now as the other side already knew of her existence.

Meanwhile, Serafall tried to follow Hestia and Artemis secretly, but since she didn't really have any effective stealth skills and Divine Power was covering the location of their meeting, she could only wait for their return.

As soon as they were back, Serafall asked them what was going on and Hestia revealed to her the entirety of their conversation with Ouranos on how they've been helping the intelligent monsters within the Dungeon which they decided to call 'Xenos' with the help of the Ganesha Familia.

After a day, everyone else had returned from their trip to the Dungeon, and Hestia and Artemis were a little bit surprised that Tanis was still with them as Ouranos said that the real purpose of their quest was to safely hand over Tanis to her fellow Xenos.

When asked, Sona just replied that they couldn't possibly hand over their little friend to a bunch of strangers even if their origin was the same.

At that point, Hestia and Artemis realized that the group never saw the Xenos as 'monsters', but fellow 'people'.

Serafall said that she chuckled while explaining to the Goddesses that their definition of 'monster' is different from normal as they never looked at the race.

Over the next three days, the Hearth Manor was locked down because of strange rumors of the Hestia and Artemis Familias keeping a monster with them, and Sona was convinced that this rumor came from those who were looking for Tanis the day they met her and was able to track it back to them.

Thanks to that, Loki kept bothering them but Sona became adamant they won't meet other people for now, especially those from the Loki Familia for their view regarding the monsters.

Of course, they didn't just wait there doing nothing and with Koneko and Aika's efforts, they were able to discover that those people who were looking for Tanis were people of the Ikelos Familia. This, however, was already known by Serafall and she just didn't tell them.

But before they could decide what to do next, an alarm from the Guild suddenly went off, and the news regarding Rivira being destroyed was disseminated.

Sona immediately went to the Guild to gather more information and concluded that the attack was done by the Xenos after hearing the descriptions regarding the monsters. She first wanted to discuss things with others but before she could leave, Sophie called out to her due to some abrupt instructions from above.

After leading her to a special room, Fels, the skeleton they met within the Xenos' village came in and explained the situation and how the Xenos continued to linger around Rivira for some unknown reason.

Since they cut off their connection to Fels, he could only ask someone trustworthy to join the advance party with him and try to talk to them and ask them what's going on their side.

Although she was worried that her newly made good acquaintances were in deep trouble, she's also very curious about how things came to be. Recalling Kisuke's words to just experience things as they come, Sona decided to accept the mission.

After sending a message to everyone, Sona left for the 18th floor with the Ganesha Familia.

28th00: Welp, I can’t tell if this is a new event or a canon event, since my knowledge of canon ended at “Well, Rakia attacks Orario and gets facerolled.” and the Demi-spirit from Sword Oratoria. Tanis is definitely the Child of Dragon, for Phis-chama has claimed her. Honestly, bad things would happen if they actually managed to magically grab Tanis, cause something tells me that Ophis would take her gloves off at that point. Considering that with her gloves on she can probably finger flick the Tower of Babel into dust… Dragon’s and their nests (that usually include family and their hoards, so super no-no territory.), you just don’t wanna even imagine touching those.

Goyya: This part is certainly a new event. And if others are still confused, Tanis is Weine in the original story.

章節 688: Hollowfication

But even though Sona was able to meet the Xenos with Fels secretly, the dialogue immediately broke down citing that they can't trust anyone right now as their comrades were captured by their hunters.

As Fels and Sona followed them, their trails stopped at the eastern wall of the 18th floor. However, the moment Sona came into the vicinity, the strange orb that Kisuke gave her before he left suddenly activated and opened a well-hidden door for them.

It didn't take long for Sona and Fels to find the Xenos battling the Ikelos Familia. Although the Xenos were in an advantageous position, the Captain of the Ikelos Familia, Dix Perdix, was still able to calmly explain the place they were standing now, was the man-made Dungeon Knossos.

But once the members of the Ikelos Familia started complaining, Dix finally made his move and used the only Magic he knew of, Phobetor Daedalus. As the wave of red light touched the Xenos, they immediately lost their sanity and started hallucinating and attacking their fellow Xenos.

Fels put up a shield and urged Sona to come behind him. But Sona didn't listen as she summoned her halberd and dashed towards the red wave. Sona was confident that she won't be affected by such Magic and that's what Serafall thought too when she saw it. So instead of defending, it was a good time to attack with the opponent's guard down.

But the moment she passed through the red wave, she suddenly stopped moving and shouted in pain.

Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Kuroka who're casually listening became serious and increased their attention.

"Kuroka, since Serafall could easily describe what's happening, she's probably spying on Sona. Take a look if there's any video feed."

Kuroka paused the playback and immediately looked through the attached files and indeed found several of them. Finding the matching file, Kuroka resumed the playback now with an image projecting on top of the orb that only they could see.

From there, they could see Sona on her knees, wheezing and with strange white matter ejecting out of her mouth, covering a fourth of her face. As the white matter formed a familiar mask, even though it's just her lower left face, her left eye had also undergone a transformation with her sclera turning jet black and her pupil turning golden.

"Hollowfication!?" Yoruichi exclaimed and immediately looked at Kisuke, "What's going on!?"

Before answering, Kisuke first arranged the information in his head, "Remember when we fell into Hades' trap?"

"Yes..."

"It wasn't just Sona's body that was corroded, but also her soul. Without much choice, I had to transfer some of my Hollow-factor directly to her soul in an attempt to aid her mending. I wasn't able to remove it since her soul was still very weak back then and any changes might cause her harm instead."

"At some point, she was already completely healed and I tried to remove the Hollow's remnant, but when I saw how it melded with her soul so well, I decided to leave it alone and thought that maybe Sona would be able to make use of it in the future."

"I knew that the Hollow could manifest anytime now, so I left some safety measures on her in case something unfavorable transpired. But since none of them activated, it means that this was a safe manifestation and Serafall also didn't call for any emergency."

Yoruichi sighed and said, "Well, you'll probably get an earful from Serafall when you return so I'll just leave it to her what she wants to do with you."

"It's been a while now, so maybe she already forgot about it, nyaa?"

Yoruichi and Kisuke looked at her and said simultaneously, "No way!"

Putting back their attention to the video feed, they saw Sona leap towards Dix with a malevolent aura and swung her halberd at him with a strength far higher than her normal state.

Dix was shocked at her appearance and strength and was barely able to dodge her attack. Fels also tried to call out to her but it was as if she couldn't hear anything and just went after Dix.

Afraid, Dix took back his curse and recovered his original stats, but even in a berserk state, Sona's halberd arts were still effective, pushing Dix further back and injuring him.

With the curse removed, the Xenos returned to their normal state of mind and saw what's going on, and started pushing back the Ikelos Familia members. On the other hand, without their leader, the Ikelos Familia became like headless chickens, dispersing into the man-made Dungeon in an attempt to escape from their assailants.

Some of them even had the 'great' idea of taking a weakened Xenos from their cage and using it as hostage while they made their way to the surface. They thought that once they reached the surface, all the other people would be their allies and help them kill the lured Xenos.

Unfortunately for Dix, before such an idea could bloom in his mind, he had to escape being beheaded by the rampaging Sona.

Sona dropped back down to her knees and tried calming herself. She avoided using Magic as she knew she wouldn't be able to control it. After a few minutes of meditation, Sona was able to calm down significantly and the partial white mask fell off from her face and disappeared. However, her left eye was still in a Hollow state, signifying that the Hollowfication was still affecting her mind.

Even then, she was able to think more clearly, albeit, a bit dizzy. As she made her way through the Dungeon, Fels and some other Xenos caught up to her and explained the situation. Sona immediately figured out what they were planning and urged everyone not to go to the surface and return to the Dungeon. But they couldn't do that as their path to retreat was already closed off.

Without much choice, Sona and the others headed off to the surface to try and take the other Xenos back, but she was already too late as they were being surrounded by numerous Adventurers, including the Loki Familia, due to the ruckus the Ikelos Familia had created.

When they reached the surface, Sona was shocked that Tanis was standing between an injured Xenos and an Adventurer who's about to land a finishing blow.

Outside of her expectations and knowledge, Serafall didn't know why Ophis suddenly brought Tanis to this battlefield with the video showing that Ophis was standing and watching from a far away building.

The three who are watching were also shocked at this development with Yoruichi and Kuroka looking at Kisuke to clear it up.

Kisuke, however, could only shake his head, "I also don't know what she was thinking. All that I'm sure of is that this is pretty important for Ophis as I specifically told her that if she needed to do something important, she doesn't need to hesitate."

When Sona saw that Finn's spear was aimed at Tanis, she immediately threw her halberd to intercept his attack, which was successful and caused the battlefield to temporarily stagnate at her appearance and action.
