"Hey! Treacherous Elf! Where is this place?!"
On the other side, Kiana and her group followed Filvis upwards. Starting from the 12th Floor, they saw green flesh walls covering both the walls and the ground.
This meant they had entered enemy territory, but this green flesh seemed harmless. After being on guard all the way, they arrived at a place that looked like a plaza.
And in this place, other than the path they came from, there was no way to leave.
Bete, whose intuition was the most sensitive, was the first to raise a question.
But Filvis seemed to have no intention of answering, turning around and taking out a red, eye-like object from her embrace.
"That's!"
Just as a few people realized it, the path they came from was suddenly sealed by a large door that appeared.
The moment the door was sealed, the surrounding green flesh quickly climbed over the door, completely sealing it off.
"You bastard! Is this a trap!"
Even the most foolish person could tell that Filvis had led them into a trap.
"Filvis, why is this..."
The pure white priestess silently looked at Lefiya, who was questioning her.
"How did you get scared here? Haven't you already prepared to confront your favorite compatriot? As long as she can sympathize with you and comfort you, it'll be fine."
Just as Filvis was silent, a voice that couldn't be distinguished as male or female suddenly came out, and a figure wearing a cloak and a mask landed beside Filvis.
"Shut up, Ein!"
Filvis, who hadn't said a word to Lefiya, spoke harshly to the suddenly appearing Creature.
"If you can't speak, how about I explain?"
"Shut up!"
The cloaked Creature named Ein shrugged, not intending to disobey Filvis's words, and just stood beside Filvis.
Watching the interaction between the two, Lefiya looked at Filvis with a slight tremble: "Why, Filvis, why are you standing with a Creature?"
"Lefiya, I told you, didn't I, not to come here."
Filvis suddenly spoke: "I clearly warned you, it would have been better if you had left Orario."
"Why! Filvis! Why are you with a Creature?"
"Because I am the Creature."
Filvis's answer made everyone on the opposite side widen their eyes.
And the masked Creature Ein, who was beside her, also took off her mask in cooperation when she heard Filvis's words.
"So I said, wouldn't it have been better to just make it clear from the beginning?"
The gender-ambiguous voice gradually turned into a clear female voice after the mask was removed.
And everyone present was very familiar with this voice; it was Filvis's voice, which they had just heard.
As the mask was completely removed, with black long hair and red pupils, except for the different decorations and clothing on her body, both her appearance and voice were exactly the same.
However, her demeanor was completely different from Filvis's; just looking at her, one could feel the malice emanating from her, almost like a collection of evil thoughts.
"How can there be two Filvises?"
This was everyone's question.
"Shall I explain what happens next?"
Ein looked at Filvis.
"I'll do it myself."
"Then you better hurry, there won't be time if you keep dragging your feet."
"I know."
"If you don't say it, then I will."
"You shut up!"
Watching the argument between the two Filvises, if one closed their eyes, they might think a person was arguing with themselves.
"...Lefiya, as you can see, on the 27th floor six years ago, I was defiled."
Before her other self revealed it, Filvis was the first to speak the truth that had been buried in her heart.
"No, I fell."
"You said the 27th floor six years ago... was it the nightmare of the 27th floor?"
The nightmare of the 27th floor was a malicious incident that occurred in the Dungeon six years ago, when Dionysus Familia members were wiped out in the Dungeon. In the public narrative, Filvis was the sole survivor at the time, because she abandoned her companions and shamelessly survived.
"Wait a minute, didn't you abandon your companions and run away with your tail between your legs? When did you become this kind of monster!"
Filvis didn't respond to the rude werewolf; Ein, who was beside her, replied: "I couldn't escape, this me."
"At that time, I heard the pioneers' calls for help, and I ran back to protect my companions. She wanted to die there at the time, but only she survived, hahaha! Isn't it ridiculous?"
"Not only did I not die, but I was also embedded in a Magic Stone and turned into this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance."
The other Filvis was merciless in her disparagement of Filvis.
"Then this guy just wanted to maintain her purity, awakened the doppelganger magic, and threw all her negative emotions and despair to me, while she herself remained noble and beautiful."
"But even so, the essence won't change. I tried to commit suicide, but I couldn't succeed at all. And facing me, who had become so ugly, Lord Dionysus accepted me."
"Although that guy just wanted to use this me, that guy wanted the Corrupted Spirit to dominate the surface. If other humans couldn't accept it, then let all humans become the same existence as 'you,' he said to me."
The two Filvises spoke one after another, like a crosstalk performance, but with two completely identical voices, it was also like one person narrating an event while changing their tone.
"This kind of thing..."
Lefiya couldn't understand, nor could she accept such a thing.
If the Corrupted Spirit were to dominate the surface, countless people would die, making the world even worse than a thousand years ago.
How could there be such a god!
Lefiya couldn't understand. Dionysus, who manipulated Filvis by exploiting the fragile hearts of his Familia members, could such a guy truly be called a god?
"To me, that lord's words were undoubtedly salvation."
"Lord Dionysus said he loved me, even in my defiled state, so I decided to be with him and fulfill his wish. This is the path I chose."
Looking at the bewildered crowd, Filvis made a completely broken declaration: "After all, only that lord accepted someone like me, didn't he?"
The girl who had lost everything was misled by Dionysus's sweet words and embarked on a sinful path.
