Chapter 720 Filvis Challia part 2

"From what I've understood with what he's said, despite having control over those Demi-Spirits, you people, including Dionysus, don't have any idea what they really are."

Filvis wanted to deny Serafall's words, but couldn't find a proper argument against it. In truth, it was the Creatures that were controlling the strange Monsters and they'd only instinctively know where the jewel for the Demi-Spirits would sprout within the Dungeon. Dionysus's role was just as a guide, promising to assist them in their goal of reaching the surface.

All in all, they knew nothing about them and they were just as mysterious as the Dungeon itself. Even as a Creature, Filvis never dived deep enough to find out the origin of the vines that had turned her into that monstrous form.

"Your God claimed that he'll come with you to Heaven, but according to Kisuke, that was impossible without any interference. So without any knowledge, that guy thought that both of you would ascend to Heaven but in reality, not just your body, but also your soul was in whatever those Demi-Spirits serve."

Filvis shuddered, "B-but that's...!?"

"You should have an inkling that this might be the case. Dionysus couldn't update your Status, could he?"

Filvis couldn't deny it. Ever since becoming a Creature, her Falna had become corrupted and even Dionysus couldn't do anything about it. Instead of displaying numerical parameters, it was just a bunch of gibberish text that didn't mean anything. The only consolation she got regarding that was that her Skills and Magic were still readable, with the addition of something called 'Monstrum Union' and 'Einsel' that she got after the Nightmare of 27th Floor.

Not waiting for her reply, Serafall added, "A Deity's blessing touches upon the soul of its receiver. With it being corrupted and modified, it's safe to assume that common sense won't apply to it. Dionysus only had wishful thinking... According to Kisuke, anyway."

"With that in mind, he did something so that your soul wouldn't return to those Demi-Spirits and you ended up reincarnating as a Xenos."

Blood was drained from Filvis' face and her already pale countenance became even paler. With great hesitation, she asked, "T-then what was going to happen when I die?"

The room was then covered in a cold silence with no one answering her question.

But the suffocating stillness was broken when Kisuke, with a large lollipop in his mouth, kicked open the door, "You'd return to how it was supposed to be. By the way, I can't do something like this again since the risk is too big. Any further interference with the souls' natural cycle might produce a bug in the system that could potentially crash it. Although the chances of that happening are infinitely close to zero, no one wants to add to the system's instability, even if it's just slightly."

Although she couldn't understand most of what Kisuke said, she got one thing, "You mean my soul will return to Heaven without any problems?"

"That's right. After successfully disconnecting you from those Demi-Spirits by giving you a run through the Dungeon, Heaven was able to re-establish a connection to your soul."

After experiencing death once, Filvis was more concerned about where she'd go in the afterlife, 'After all... This life...'

Kisuke, including some others, knew what she was thinking, but didn't say anything about it.

However, Filvis was still curious about one more thing and asked, "Why? Why did you do this? I sincerely doubt that you're saving me. Is it so that I could pioneer the relationship between people of the Lower World and Xenos? If so, then you have chosen the wrong person." Filvis had correctly guessed what Sona and the girls wanted to happen.

"Since you had certain criteria that I needed, I did this to you. And the moment you were reborn, you'd already done the job for me. As Sona said, what you do in the future will be up to you."

Sitting down beside Serafall, Kisuke continued, "Enough of that, and let's talk about the things you can do."

Filvis shook her head, "I don't know..." She understood why they wanted to know. If a Xenos of an unknown species suddenly appeared, it meant something similar dwelled within the Dungeon and hasn't been discovered yet. Any information regarding new monsters in the deeper floors was valuable information that could save lives.

Kisuke then looked towards Medusa, who had just entered the room and asked, "What do you think?"

Filvis also looked towards Medusa, prompted by Kisuke's gaze. Out of everyone here, Medusa gave her the strangest feeling.

Medusa stared at her for some time before nodding and answering, "...She indeed has a Vampire Physiology. At least the power of her blood can easily be distinguished."

"I see! So she's like Gasper-kun." Irina commented while clapping her hand, "In that case, it'll be easier to figure out what her abilities are."

"Not quite." Sona interjected, "Even among Vampires, the extent of their abilities varies from clan to clan. There are even some mutated members that possess power thought to not be possible within the race's in history."

"That's indeed the case. I can only tell that Challia-san is Vampiric because I also have some Vampire abilities that I've developed to sustain what I lack. Even then, it's only the most basic of the basic Blood-based abilities." Medusa supplemented. Even until this day, Medusa still regrets the way she'd acquired these abilities, as she ended up losing control of herself mainly due to them.

Nevertheless, she'd already come to terms with it and stopped thinking about the 'what ifs', mostly thanks to everyone accepting who she is despite revealing who she really was and her history. It also wouldn't stop her from using these abilities if it means protecting those precious to her.

"Since she's not a naturally born monster, then it would be hard to figure out her unique abilities. But even then, basic Blood-based abilities are still unique." Aika muttered while rubbing her chin. As if a good idea was popping into her head, she rudely pointed her finger towards Filvis and said with a wide smile, "Yosh~! Kisuke, give her a bit of your blood! A liter or two is enough!"

But her energetic 'request' only earned her a knock on the head from Medusa, "Forget about digesting that amount of blood, even I wouldn't dare to take a single sip of Master's blood without proper preparations. An immature Vampire like Challia-san would only explode from overconsumption... literally."

"S-seriously?" Aika turned to Kisuke.

Kisuke looked up and thought for a moment, "Hmm... In the past, I'd certainly say that Medusa-chan is overacting, but I'm not too sure right now."
