A few hours later, the girls were gathered in Cloud's room, who was resting peacefully.
"So, you don't know what happened?" - Meiru asked as she frowned.
"Exactly, it's like that moment was erased from my memory" - Yue answered seriously while looking at the rest of her companions, except Remia, who was taking care of her daughter and chatting with her to distract her from Cloud's current situation - "It's strange, because I remember that we were about to die, when suddenly everything went back to the way it was before..."
"It's strange" - muttered Lyutillis as she started to think - "Let's see.... What have we got?"
"First, something happened when we reached the end of the labyrinth" - said Tio while frowning slightly - "Potentially deadly, even for us who are on the verge of the divine"
"Second, that danger managed to corrupt Vandre Schnee, at least that's what I managed to detect before I got them out of the labyrinth" - added Yue while shaking her head.
"Third, we were aware of the danger from the beginning, that's why Cloud sent Shea-san and Remia-san out of the labyrinth first to keep them safe" - said Shizuku as she looked around and noticed how her fellow travellers nodded at her words, at least all of them except Shea, who just ducked her head.
"You don't have to feel bad, Shea-dono, this decision was the right one" - said Tio while putting her hand on the rabbit girl's shoulder - "Back to the point, we have a lot of clues with this, though I feel like we're missing something, or just ignoring it"
"I tried to go back to the final room to see if I could find any extra clues, but I found nothing, not even traces of the residual energy of this strange unknown enemy" - muttered Meiru while frowning - "It's like everything related to him disappeared from the world"
"Maybe that's what happened" - said Tio while looking at the Dagon-vampire hybrid - "Let's think about it more calmly, an unknown enemy that was about to kill us showed up, and Cloud wiped it out of existence with a technique we don't know about, that's why it fell unconscious and its magic level is so low, that would explain why Yue-san was also exhausted, possibly she was buying some time for Cloud to manage to use his technique on that thing"
"The probability that the situation is as you say it is, is quite high" - said Lyutillis as she started to think - "Especially the part about erasing its existence"
"That would explain why we can't remember anything about that thing" - said Yue with a frown - "In fact, being that I'm missing memories from long before I got to the final room of the maze."
"This hypothesis is making more and more sense" - Meiru mused before nodding - "Anyway, we can only wait for Cloud to wake up so he can explain what happened, I mean, his technique was the one that caused all this, so it's possible that he's the only one who fully knows what happened here"
The girls nodded when they heard this, although they quickly returned to expressionless faces.
"I guess it's time to move on to the second part of this discussion" - Meiru said as she folded her arms - "Dienleed..."
Yue frowned before nodding. She quickly summoned a blood bat and sent it to her uncle.
A few minutes later, the door to the room was being banged on.
Shea opened it, revealing the old vampire, who walked calmly inside.
The girls frowned slightly because they could sense something different about the vampire, though for now they had decided it was best to wait until they had all the information before acting.
"I don't think we need to explain to you what we called you here for, man," Yue said as she folded her arms, "So I'll get straight to the point.... What is it you want to tell us?"
"First, I'd like to know if you came to a conclusion about the events that happened inside the labyrinth" - said Dienleed seriously
The girls frowned as they felt their mana sources start to activate in case they needed to face the old vampire.
Dienleed kept his gaze relaxed, though his body was also tensing up.
"Ok, enough" - Lyutillis said as she looked around - "We have come to talk, there is still no need to fight, much less when we don't know this man's intentions"
The girls looked at each other before nodding, though they didn't let their guard down.
Dienleed also nodded as he found a chair and sat down in it - "Sorry if my words put you on edge, it's just that we are slightly curious about what happened in the labyrinth"
"We?" - Yue repeated with a frown as she connected the dots - "I see.... Alva didn't disappear, he remains inside you..."
"I'm sorry for not revealing this information" - Dienleed replied as he felt the girls were beginning to show increased hostility, though it wasn't as if he could blame them. From the beginning, Alva had been their enemy, and having him so close to the most vulnerable people in their group, was something they could not afford - "Though you need not worry, we do not plan to harm you, not when our targets are similar"
"That is of no comfort to us, demon god vessel" - Lyutillis said with a frown - "You could have killed Belta-san and Myu-chan before escaping".
"I could, but I didn't" - replied Dienleed while shaking his head - "I'll be honest with you, being by your side is the best way to keep us safe, that's why I don't plan to do anything to you, that would be counterproductive"
"You mean the presence of [Umbra]?" asked Meiru with disdain.
"Exactly, currently, that son of a bitch can't detect me, though that doesn't mean that in the future it won't be possible" - Dienleed answered while letting out a sigh - "And the odds of that happening, will increase drastically if he consumes the souls of those humans"
Kaori and Shizuku's face darkened when they heard this.
[Back to the initial point, I have many questions about what happened in the labyrinth, though what I can assure you, is that that irregular accomplished something that not even the gods can do, erase the existence of a creature that embroidered the divine] - said Dienleed with a deep and distorted voice.
"Do you remember what happened?" - Yue asked while ignoring the demon god taking possession of her uncle.
[No, even I can't remember the creature's identity, that's how powerful that Irregular's ability is] - Alva replied while frowning - [I don't know how he did it, but his power managed to interfere directly with the laws of the world, and completely erased everything related to that creature's existence, memories, history, energy, even his own birth, it's terrible just to imagine what that kind of power can do in the hands of a mortal...]
The girls started to release a huge amount of mana because they understood what this man was trying to say.
[Relax, I don't plan to do anything against the irregular, after all, my life depends on him killing Ehit and Umbra] - Alva continued as she clicked her tongue, as she didn't like the idea of having to depend on another existence in order to survive, let alone the person who had put her in this situation - [Back to the point, it's possible that the irregular won't be able to use this ability for a long time, after all, the world can't allow someone to interfere with its laws so easily]
The girls remained silent as they looked at each other.
"How long do you think it will take for him to regain consciousness?" - Yue asked as she looked at her possessed uncle.
[Honestly, I have no idea, I'm not a holy wizard to have the knowledge of this kind of thing, neither am I an expert in magical detection to be able to see how long it will take for her mana to reactivate, what I can tell you, is that it won't be that long a wait, maybe two or three days] - Alva replied while shrugging her shoulders - [This is taking into account the divine breath I can feel]
The girls let out a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Is there anything else we need to know about Umbra?" - Yue asked as she changed the subject, more so now that she knew about the presence of Ehit's former subordinate, who possessed a lot of valuable information for their current situation, both in facing the cursed sword soul, and in facing the mad god.
[Let's see, manipulation of shadows, the ability to hide completely when in dark places, ability to devour souls, the power to detect divinity thanks to his ancient power, ancient knowledge about the strengthening of ancestral creatures, as well as the ability to be able to get the memories of his prey] - Alva replied with a frown - [Oh, although the latter only applies to strong enough souls because they are usually absorbed immediately]
The girls were silent again while shaking their heads because it seemed that the situation was more complicated than they thought.
