Chapter 718 Return from Death
Chapter 718 Return from Death
Kisuke tracked the unique signal he left on the certain individual and soon reached the 50th floor after rushing, ‘This is pretty deep. Just what did she end up with?’
Kisuke continued dashing and reached a certain corner of the safe zone. From there, he saw a naked white-haired and pale-white girl with a pair of black bat wings sprouting behind her being ejected from the wall as if a new monster was being born.
The girl dropped to her knees and slowly opened her crimson-red eyes with cross-shaped pupils. She then slowly raised her hands to see their long and sharp black fingernails. With the memories of her previous life still in a mess, the girl couldn’t even remember who she is even if wanted to.
However, it was at this moment that a familiar voice resounded beside her, “Welcome back, Challia-san~ It’s time to start your round two in Hell, though it seems you got extremely lucky this time and got a form very close to a Human.”
Her long Elf-like ears jerked up and she slowly lifted her head to see the last person she saw before she died sporting the same grin, “K-Kisuke… Urahara?” she muttered, showing her two long and sharp canines.
“Yep~ The one and only~!”
It was then a massive headache that attacked the girl, formerly Filvis Challia of the Dionysus Familia, as Kisuke’s appearance jogged her memories, putting them in the right places, “Ahhh!!!”
Her scream of extreme pain as she held her head dearly echoed throughout the entirety of the quiet 50th floor, but Kisuke ignored the noise she’s making and carefully checked her physical features, “Hmmm… Prominent canines, pale white skin, and bat-like wings… A Vampire? Does that mean that somewhere deep in the Dungeon, a Vampire monster exists?”
Kisuke waited for Filvis to calm down, but as soon as the pain in her head subsided, another bout of panic ensued. Cornering her back on the wall, Filvis started shaking violently as she hugged her knees in an attempt to find the slightest comfort. With her eyes swimming around, she started muttering as if she had lost her mind, “W-why…? Why is this happening?… Lord Dionysus… Where are you, Lord Dionysus!? W-why!? Why did I become a monster once again!? P-please! Someone! End this nightmare!”
Kisuke sighed, ‘Well, I already expected that this might be the case.’ Pointing his finger at her forehead, Kisuke used his Kidou, “Inemuri (Forced Slumber).”
As Filvis lost her consciousness, Kisuke chucked her in the sack he took out from his inventory and carried it behind on his back, “Yosh~! Let’s leave the troublesome things like calming her down to the girls.”
With that in mind, Kisuke returned home after ‘kidnapping’ a girl from the Dungeon.

When Kisuke reached the manor, the sun was already setting. However, he noticed that a barrier was covering the whole building, allowing entry but not allowing exit, “Hmmm? What’s going on?”
From inside, he could hear some voices and one of them had an unfamiliar and strange tone to it, “Wait… This is a telepathic signal being broadcasted to everywhere. Is it that Dragon?” guessed Kisuke.
“I’m home~…?” When Kisuke opened the door he saw a three feet long and one and a half wide white western Dragon flapping its wings in front of him.
The White Dragon was a bit chubby for its size and it has clear blue eyes that emit intelligence. The two of them stared at each other in silence for a short while before the flying reptile lunged at his chest and grabbed his shitagi while looking up to him, [Protect… Aria…] A clear telepathic message came from it when it opened its jaw.
Kisuke was a bit surprised by its words, but after considering its origin and how it came to be, he was able to guess the reason, ‘It approached me with such willingness… Can it feel Aria-san’s aura from me?’
Not long after, Aika came running from the interior of the building and shouted, “Kisuke! Catch that shiny lizard! It’s trying to escape!… Wait… Huh?” But she slowed down when she saw the Dragon silently clutching on Kisuke’s clothing with its tiny claw, “You tamed it?”
Kisuke patted the Dragon and replied, “Nope. It just likes the smell coming from me.”
Aika narrowed her eyes at his answer and said, “So it can ‘smell’ Aria from you?”
“You understand it?”
“I can instinctively tell because I’ve been deepening my relationship with my ‘daughters’. Besides, it can only say two words. ‘Aria’ and ‘Protect’. It’s not that hard to understand it.” answered Aika with a sigh.
The Dragon ignored Aika and kept repeating ‘Protect’ and ‘Aria’ to Kisuke, “I see… But why did you have to put up such a barrier just to catch this?”
“Because it’s strangely agile! It has an ability to hide its presence to the point that Koneko couldn’t exactly pinpoint its location within the manor. We had no choice but to place this barrier so that it won’t go out.”
“What about Ophis? Didn’t she say anything to this little one?”
Aika shook her head, “Nope. She only said that she won’t interfere. And the only people who could easily catch it, Serafall-chan and Medusa-chan, stayed out of the way.”
Kisuke grabbed the Dragon and said, “Let’s go inside first.”
“By the way, what’s with that sack? It has a similar aura to those Xenos. Did you kidnap a Xenos?”
“Ah!” Kisuke finally remembered that he’s carrying someone and placed the sack in front of Aika, “I’ll leave her to you. I’ll take her tomorrow to the Loki Familia.”
Aika tilted her head in confusion, “The Loki Familia? Although they’ve taken care of Ray, that’s only because she saved Finn. I doubt they’ll take care of another Xenos, especially a stranger.”
Kisuke walked past her while carrying the Dragon who became silent in his arms, “Well, she’s not exactly a stranger to them and I’m sure that gay Elf would accept her.”
Since everyone else already heard that Kisuke caught the Dragon from his conversation with Aika, they stopped their search and put down the barrier. Aika, meanwhile, untied the sack and took a peek inside, “…Why is she naked?” is the first question that came from her mouth.
But she immediately shook her head and thought, ‘Kisuke won’t really do anything to her even if she’s naked. After all, for him, being a big pervert is just a fun way to mess with someone.’
Aika then took the girl Xenos out of the sack and finally saw her face, “Hmm? Why does she look familiar…? Wait… Filvis Challia!? How!?” Aika’s shout attracted everyone’s attention.
