Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 885 Reincarnated Elf

There are multiple reasons why Kisuke had declared his surrender, but the biggest cause was that it wasn't worth it anymore to continue what he wanted to happen when there was already a better and cheaper option. And while in the match, Kisuke had felt Tartarus move and he couldn't be caught in a match when things finally exploded, 'It'll probably be fair to say that after Athena and Nyx's reveal, they'd probably time it when I'm busy.'

Kisuke watched as the scenery beyond the window changed as the train he was riding appeared above the vast Gremory Territory. Upon a single glance, Kisuke immediately saw the difference between this and the Belial Territory, 'At least a thousand times richer.'

It has been a week since their team's match against Rias Gremory and he's on the way to the Gremory Mansion to issue his formal apology. However, that wasn't the real reason he was there.

"It's still really hard to get used to this form of transportation." said Riveria, who was beside him and also looking out of the window.

"It's convenient transportation that uses Magic. If this was the Human world, It'd take a few hours on a plane."

Riveria looked at him and said, "You mean that flying piece of metal? I understood how it works but I still can't wrap my head around the enormous force it could generate on its wings without the use of Magic."

"In hindsight, you're the same as the inhabitants of the Human world. You've only ever known one face of the world you're living in."

Riveria became quiet for a moment to digest his short words, "I see... So I'm like those that would have thought 'Magic' is fantastical the first time I saw it."

"For you, it won't actually take long to get used to all of this. Although you did have quite the stern belief of how the world worked back then, I took my time breaking those notions."

Riveria sneered at him and said, "Took your time!? You outright almost made someone insane! If it wasn't for our Familia that had been open-minded from the start, you could have made enemies everywhere. Don't underestimate a God's pride. Not that I'm saying that Loki is not prideful."

"Besides..." Riveria then turned her head to the side and a pair of black bat-like wings behind her, "There's no way I wouldn't get used to this fast... It's too convenient."

Kisuke looked at her wings and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling fine..." Riveria thought about it again and said, "I'm actually feeling so fine that it's scary. Heightened Physical Power that's on par with a Level 3 and Magic Power that's equivalent to a Level 5. The fact that I got those without any difficulty, I can't help but worry."

"So you're not impressed by night vision and flight?"

"I am! But it's really worrying... It's as if I'm doing something wrong. You already went through the various tests I took this morning, didn't you? Could you reassure me that nothing is wrong?"

Kisuke looked at Riveria's genuinely worried expression and asked, "What's wrong? It's not like you to get worried like this. I know where you're coming from, but I think you're over-exaggerating."

Riveria shook her head and looked back to the beautiful scenery, "...I saw someone get drunk with the power they suddenly gained in the past. I kept telling myself that there was no way something like that was going to happen to me even if we were in the same situation. However, I was still young back then and the sight of himself, destroying everything around him, including himself and his loved ones left quite a strong image that I haven't been able to shake since then."

"You don't have to shake it away." Kisuke turned his sights back outside, "Just think of it as a good reminder to not lose control of yourself.", and Kisuke thought to himself, 'And if you can look past that fear, you may be able to achieve something amazing.'

"I can't really tell you everything I found out since you won't understand most of it anyway, but to answer your concern and confusion, reincarnating you into a Devil filled most of what was taken back from you."

Riveria stared at him curiously and waited.

"Your body is the vessel for your soul. While the Falna primarily evolves the soul, the body has to be shaped to contain it. For each level, your soul would undergo a change. Your body, however, can't change that fast so in response, as you fought for the Excelia needed for the next evolution, you also improved your body, which represented your stats."

"The best analogy to understand it, though not entirely accurate and oversimplified, would be a cup containing water with the cup as your body and water as your soul. Every time you Level, the water slowly fills up but before it could spill, the cup also enlarges to contain it. When your level was reset, the water returned to its initial levels, but the cup remained unchanged."

"In the process of reincarnating, aside from some changes to the cup, its size hasn't changed, even if it was mostly empty till now. The reason why you have the abilities you have now is that I'm substituting my 'Demonic Power' to fill up that cup. In other words, I'm just returning what you had before, albeit, not entirely the same."

Riveria looked at her hands and muttered, "I see... So that's how it is. Even though it should be very similar to my own Level back then, it felt very unfamiliar." She then looked back to Kisuke to ask, "But is it fine for me to take the position of Queen? From my understanding, that position is basically your right-hand man. Shouldn't that be someone from your group?"

"No one among them could actually become my servant as every single one of them has developed so that reincarnating to a Devil would only bring more problems than benefits."

For this whole week, Riveria had been studying all sorts of things, but mainly how the factions work and affect the day to day life of people and there's one thing she concluded but wasn't so sure about it, "So your group was already an abnormality, even by this world's standard."

"That's too much. We're just a bit more unique than the rest. But enough about that. I'm actually surprised that you accepted..."

"You thought that I'd be clinging to the fact that I'm an Elf? I might have... If I didn't bury myself among all those materials for the whole week."

"Oh? What changed your mind? 'Cause I can safely assume that it's not for immediate power."

"It's because I don't want to lose. Not to you, and not to this world. If I continue clinging to my not so important race, I'd feel too small."

"So now that you went ahead with it, how do you feel?"

"I feel like I stepped over a ridge. Somehow, I have a feeling that things will be a lot easier from now on." Riveria then displayed a big teasing smile on her face and asked, "Now that I've become your servant, should I call you master?"

Kisuke chuckled and replied, "Yours is a stark contrast to Medusa. I like the sarcastic tone though, so please go ahead."
