章節 786: Mystery Guest

Ais immediately rushed out before Lysa could even reach Kisuke only to immediately halt her charge when he caught her precious partner. But that wasn't the end of it as she was dumbfounded when the man and Dragon started communicating as if they'd already known each other way back. Meanwhile, the other members also had the same reaction as Ais.

'The only time she could have met this man is when we first discover her deep within the Dungeon but that's not the problem. He's speaking as if he already knew that we're taking care of her even before receiving the rumors from the town.', thought Finn and became even more suspicious of the unexpected guest.

The next instance, however, sent another wave of shock as Kisuke let go of the Dragon, but instead of returning to Ais like they were all imagining, Lysa flew on top of Kisuke and comfortably nestled on his shoulder, "L-Lysa?"

The members of the Loki Familia couldn't believe their eyes as they knew how the pompous Dragon acted. She was already hard-pressed when someone wanted to lightly touch her scales and only ever rested in Ais' arms despite the others trying everything they could think of to get her close to them.

But now, said Dragon's proud demeanor had already disappeared as she rubbed her face on Kisuke's cheek, trying to act coy with him.

Never could they have imagined that someone of a much higher existence was following Kisuke. Lysa thought that if she was always acting arrogant in front of him, she'd receive a Divine Punishment.

However, before they could even ask where Kisuke could have possibly met Lysa, someone else stepped out from the crowd and approached him.

"Fil-... Visha? Where are you going?"

The masked white-haired woman ignored Lefiya and continued walking without hesitation. This action of hers, however, made everyone, except for Loki and Lysa, nervous. Since Filvis was already technically dead, she shouldn't approach anyone and she shouldn't even speak outside of the Twilight Manor in case someone recognizes her by her voice.

Finn clenched his fist and gave Filvis a threatening look but the latter just ignored this warning and continued unfazed. Seeing this, Finn got ready to forcefully take her away as her existence could threaten and tarnish the name of Loki Familia that they've built for a long time.

However, as soon as his eyes met with Loki who had been already looking back at him, Finn unclenched his fist and sighed, 'If she thinks this is fine then there's nothing else for me to say.' Even then, he still waited with a bated breath since he didn't know what Filvis was trying to do.

Nevertheless, the wave of surprises didn't stop as Kisuke turned to her direction when he felt her gaze and greeted her with a smile, "I see that you're doing great, Challia-san. And it seems that you've also learned how to hide your wings now."

If they had their weapons on them right now, they would have already pulled them out and pointed them at Kisuke.

The tension was high and the short silence was very unbearable for the Loki Familia. Not knowing what's going on made their mind draw blanks and that within their own territory which they consider their safe base.

Of course, Loki knew how they were feeling so as to not further increase the pressure around, she spoke like this is normal, "So you didn't teach her that? I assumed you gave her some method to hide those."

Filvis then took off her mask, showing her ruby red eyes with cross-shaped pupils, "I saw how that girl Tanis did it and figured that I can do it since we're technically the same. And this is the least that I could do if I want to act like I'm still an Elf."

Kisuke noted the lightness in her words and the change in her demeanor compared to when he first saw her and said in an admiring tone, "Heehh~... So after what happened to you, you've become more open-minded, huh."

To that, Filvis responded with a wry smile, "It's thanks to you who first found me. Talking to me as if you couldn't care less about how I look, I only realized recently that that instance gave me a brand new outlook that I wasn't willing to view before. That was very important to me... Thank you."

After living her daily life with the Loki Familia, she realized that small differences aren't really such a big deal after an understanding has been reached on both sides and she really never had a chance to recognize that thanks to her encounter with Kisuke. Ever since then, she wanted to express her gratitude to the man who brought her here, 'I'm sorry, Lord Dionysus... But it turned out that you're not the only one who could accept and understand me.'

Kisuke understood her point but he just shrugged his shoulders, "Then the same credit goes to everyone in Hestia and Artemis Familias. They treated you the same, after all." But even if she has a point and it was because of him, Kisuke would still not accept her gratitude because she was 'saved' not because of him, but her own will. Technically, Kisuke just conveniently used her to understand the circulation of souls within the Dungeon.

Though the simple truth was that Kisuke just wanted to piss Dionysus off by not sending Filvis to him and didn't like the fact that the Dungeon was 'recycling' souls without any care to their individuality.

"F-Filvis-san... Do you know him?" Lefiya asked a question with an obvious answer.

Finn and Riveria, meanwhile, turned to Loki and asked, "What does this mean, Loki?"

"It's simply because it was this guy here and his companions that met Filvis-chan first.", answered Loki with an exasperated voice, "But even if we explain it, there's no way you'll understand."

Finn furrowed his brows, "How are we supposed to understand if you don't explain it in the first place? Whether we understand it or not, it should still be up to us."

"That's true but the situation is more complicated than you could imagine because of what's happening right now. Don't worry though. I guarantee you that you'll all understand it in a few days at the latest."

Kisuke chuckled at Loki's words, "Aren't you giving me too much credit? What if that stubborn Goddess doesn't want to pull out?"

"Then force her off her high horse. Give her a good smack if you have to."

Kisuke contemplated while rubbing his chin and said, "For that, do you think pissing her off would work?"

章節 787: Vampires

Those from the door also approached Loki with varying expressions, trying to figure out who the mysterious man in front of them was. Kisuke, however, only found this amusing and refused to answer their questions seriously, 'It's like being given a chance to mess with them for the second time.', he thought while thinking of ways to deal with Freya and considering doing it with heavy hands since it seems to be more effective that way, if that's Loki is wanting to suggest by kicking her off her high-horse.

And just now, Kisuke felt his tracking magic react and checked it. From her room on the top of Babel, Freya started moving while the rest of the Freya Familia within the tower and on the ground began converging, 'An hour at most, huh? Really... What does she have against me that she's willing to gather all of her forces just for me?'

Kisuke looked around and took a closer look at everyone who was very overt with their suspicion and slight hostility to the unknown he brought. A few seconds later, he decided how he should kill his time, 'Might as well check their progress. I'd hate it if they become useless baggage if the worst is to come. They should at least be able to deal with mobs with ease if there are any.'

To start with, Kisuke turned to Filvis and asked, "Have you started using your abilities?"

"...Did you mean the abilities that came with this body?", Filvis was slightly distressed and hesitant but after shaking her head, she answered, "Yes... To a certain extent."

"F-Filvis!", Lefiya suddenly called out in panic while they looked at her strangely and with confusion, including Loki.

Seeing this, Kisuke instantly guessed the situation, "So you haven't told anyone else your abilities and your current race except for her?"

"No. We didn't hear anything about it. Although I knew that they were hiding it, I never forced them to tell everyone.", Loki answered and became incredibly curious on why Lefiya became scared, 'What sort of ability does she have to give a reaction like that?'

Kisuke sighed at this and said to Filvis, "Then reconsider it. Hiding it would only put the others in danger by having the wrong assumptions."

Although Kisuke could also understand Filvis' plight. Drinking blood and acquiring power from it really sounds evil and monstrous.

Filvis looked at Lefiya who's still panicking and trying to say something before smiling at her antics, 'As long as she trusts me, I'm alright even if others look at me with disgust.'

She then looked back at Kisuke and replied, "You're right. I should have done this from the start."

Turning to everyone, Filvis continued, "I'm sorry for keeping this to everyone but according to him, I'm now what's called a Vampire."

Loki raised her brows, "Vampire? What's that?"

After a short pause, Filvis answered, "A monster that can vary in appearance, they say. But it's main ability is to drink the blood of others to strengthen themselves."

This claim of hers made the others' eyes wide open while Lefiya became incredibly nervous. Even though the latter was biased to Filvis, Lefiya still had a hard time accepting that ability of hers and it was only recently that she agreed to participate in her secret training.

Filvis looked at everyone's face and she could easily see the disgust and fear even though they were trying to hide it, 'I already expected this, but seeing those expressions isn't as easy as I've expected.', she thought with a bitter smile. Even though it hasn't been very long when she first arrived here, she already considered everyone as her comrade.

Finn and Riveria wanted to say something but Loki raised her hand to stop them, "For now, I'll do the talking. Whatever your impression and judgment are, save it until this is over."

Everyone nodded and kept it to themselves as Loki had instructed.

Facing Filvis, Loki continued, "I won't say anything regarding on why you choose to hide it 'cus I understand where you're coming from, but from Lefiya's reaction, she already knew it and to some extent, already assisted you by providing the needed components, yes?"

"...That's right."

All eyes converged on Lefiya but this time, she stood tall and bore the pressure. It's for her precious friend so the least she could do is to show that there's nothing wrong with it.

Loki leaned back and thought for a moment before turning her attention back to the amused Kisuke, "So? What are these Vampires? I think it's better to hear it from you."

Kisuke already expected such a question coming for him so he took out a notebook that he had been hiding under his sleeve, "Let's see, let's see... According to the records that I've acquired, they are beings of night, thriving under the moonlit sky as nobles of pride."

But Loki suddenly interrupted him by slapping the table, "Leave the poetic intro out! Give us the basics!"

Kisuke pouted his lips in protest but did indeed skip the intro, "Vampires are known for their abilities that surround blood, mainly absorbing or consuming them for a temporary or permanent boost in strength."

"Aside from that, they are also known for their ability to transform into beasts or mist depending on their aptitude. They also have the ability to charm people as an auxiliary for their blood consumption and a subset for this ability is to control smaller animals and insects."

"They also have increased regeneration based on their individual rank, from the capability to restore large wounds to being almost nigh unkillable."

"Of course, their own blood is also special since it can contain vast amounts of Magic Power so each and every Vampire are also very capable Magic-Users if they're trained properly and their aptitudes are usually on the colder side of the spectrum. If you want a comparison, they are on par or maybe even better than Elves' natural talent for Magic."

"And finally, as long as they could consume blood regularly, they are practically unaging with an estimated lifespan of at least ten thousand years and those in the highest ranks with their age just being numbers that they could easily forget and ignore."

"...What's up with that ridiculous prowess.", Loki commented with twitching lips, "And why do you sound like you've already met a lot of them?"

28th00: Vamps really do get a ridiculously OP package, but their weaknesses are just as ridiculous, and even common! The highest rank ones are effectively (Un)Living Gods with no weaknesses, but to actually get there? Oof.
