A/N: Sorry for the wait. I was about to finish the whole Riveria part but decided to delay it for a little bit and focus on Bell and what was happening to him inside his mind while he's unconcious so I won't delay it anymore and will go balls deep into it. (I just wanted to use that phrase. Sorry especially if you are a girl because it might be a little bit disturbing to you since the origin of that phrase is kinda... Y'know)

End Of Evil IV

Bell's POV. (Dream)

"...e .p..."I heard a gentle but somewhat lively voice before someone gently tapped my cheeks. This action lasted for a good few seconds until she stopped. I don't know why but her halting her action suddenly made me wake up for some reason.

"Ya! You're finally awake Bell!" The girl that I have never seen before beamed at me while slightly pinching my nose.

"E-Eh...? Who is she...? The last time I remember was my back being hot all of a sudden like I was being consumed by a very hot flame..."

But then I realized then that the girl that was looking down to me had no visible clothes. Luckily, her long beautiful crimson red hair managed to cover the front of her chest but her well toned body were clearly visible to me from below.

"W-Wah..!!!"

Then the realization hit me that the naked girl were also giving me a lap pillow. I panicked and shot back up but it only made everything worse when I saw myself also without a single piece of cloth.

"KYAAAAH!!" I screamed like a little girl in embarassment.

"Are you a girl?! I can't believe that you have a girlfriend while you are acting like this Bell... I'm disappointed!" Her last words rang out because of how she spoke to me as if she knew me too well.

"Wait, Who are you miss?! How did you know who I am and the fact that I have a girlfriend?!" I asked without looking back at the girl.

"Well of course I know everything about you since we were always together!" The girl cheerfuly said behind me.

"Always with me...? But I never even saw her before... How is that even possible...? Ah! Is she perhaps one of those people? What do they call them again? stoka...? "

"A-Are you perhaps a "Stoka"?!"

"Stalker? AH! OF COURSE I'M NOT! DUMMY! STOP BEING EMBARASSED! LOOK AT ME AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND!" This made me nervous again.

"L-L-Loo-ook at her?! Is she insane?! If I do that, I'll see her sexy looking bo-waaaaah!!!! SORRY KAMI-SAMA!!! FORGIVE ME FOR MY IMPURE THOUGHTS!!! " After screaming inside my head, I suddenly remembered something that Kami-sama said to me before.

I turned around and tried to look at the girl.

Crimson red hair.

Emerald colored eyes.

Small face.

Slightly puffy and cute cheeks.

And her smile that's hundred times brighter than the sun itself.

" Alise Lovell-san...?! Ryuu-san's Best friend and former captain of Astrea Familia?! "

"Hmmm... It looks like you finally figured out who I am my dear Bell! That's right!" Suddenly, flames started to cover her body and soon transformed into a one piece red dress that reaches towards her thighs.

"I'm Alise! I'm already dead but since I died inside the dungeon, my soul got trapped inside of it and has nowhere to go. Since I have no choice and returning to my mangled up and dead body was impossible, I decided to reside inside the sword you are using since I don't want to be swallowed by the dungeon and become a monster, imagine me! A very beautiful women as a monster! All male adventurers would probably fall under my charm and forget that I am a monster! They will happily die for me if that happens!! HAHAHA-*cough *cough. Anyway, after that, I lost my own conciousness until the day that the blade was reforged with divine blessing and your strand of hair... That's how I became like this... A fire spirit that gives power to the sword and to the user... I don't know how that happened but maybe it is due to my strong affinity to fire magic when I was still alive."

"..." I couldn't come up with a response because I'm having trouble processing everything inside my head. From how her spirit got trapped in the dungeon, to her becoming a fire spirit that.

Because from what I know from both my grandpa and Goddess Astrea, Spirits are child of gods and a being made of a fraction of pure divine power from their creator.

"So how is that possible...? "

"I don't know, when I woke up, I didn't know that I had this kind of power. That was until you casted your Firebolt into our sword. I then sensed a strong affinity towards that magic, remember when you first used that magic to enchant the sword? The fire got too strong and almost burned up your face? That was me when I responded to the magic and strengthened it. My affinity is way too strong that even just a fraction of my power were enough to blow up a monster party of Minotaurs." The girl in front of my smiled proudly while nodding sagely to her obvious blunder.

"So that's your fault...?-Wait! Am I thinkin-"

"No Bell, since we are inside your conciousness, I can hear your thoughts. In short, I heard everything including me having a very sexy bo-"

I was reduced to a sobbing mess when she explained that to me. My impure and vulgar thoughts were laid bare in front of a very cute girl. Not just a cute girl but a fire spirit and the one I thought of as a "Hero Of The Present" a long with the other deceased members of our Familia.

"Stop crying Bell! I don't mind really, but thank you. Even though I'm always proclaiming how cute and charming I am, hearing it from another person really feels different, like getting warm and fluffy inside me.. Ehehehe..." She giggled as she patted my head which calmed me down. After that she held my hand and led me up then...

"Let me give you something cool to wear!"

With a snap of her finger, a flame suddenly enveloped my body and it soon transformed into a very cool adventurer gear.

A short sleeved colared shirt that has two colors. The middle one from the colar that extends towards the back and front were red and the sides and sleeves were pure white. Together with it were a breastplate and a shoulder guards on both sides. A slightly baggy black pants but the part from below my knees were tucked inside a brown boots. And finally on my left waist was a red cloth design that looked like a cape of some sort that sways everytime I try to move forward. (3rd Anniversary Alise 1st Costume)

"It really suits you! Just as I thought!!" She flashed me her solar flare of a smile.

"Yeah, it really looks cool but I get the feeling that you got this from somewhere." I said to her and when I saw her nod, my curiousity got higher.

"Actually, your outfit right now was inspired by my adventurer gear before when I was alive. Back then, I had Tsubaki-san make me an adventurer gear after I became a level 3. But when it arrived at our home, I also got the Crimson Order from Hephaestus-sama. I thought at first that they shipped it to me by mistake but then, the member that delivered that to me said that it was a gift from them. Even though I don't remember doing anything for them back then, they insisted on giving it to me... They really are nice people..."

Her melancholic smile got to me and made me remember things about Hephaestus-sama, Tsubaki-san and especially Welf. How they were kind to me and helped me everytime I run into a trouble. Especially in the war game. Giving her beloved child to us the Hestia Familia just to help us win the war game.

"Yeah, you are right Alise-san... They are really nice people... Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Do you think I can become a Hero like you?"

"Pfft... Ahahahaha!!!"

Even though I'm supposed to feel offended due to her laughing at my question, I found myself laughing with her for some reason. I don't know why but whenever she does smile or laugh, it causes a chain reaction to me.

"What are you asking Bell aren't you already a Hero?" She said while wiping some tears that formed from the corner of her eyes.

"I don't think that's the case Alise-san... Afterall you kn-"

"You've done nothing wrong Bell. Even if I were in your shoes, I will do everything I can to help the Xenos. Even if the whole Familia turns on me, I will continue on pushing forward. Also didn't Goddess help you? In fact you should be sure that you are in the right path all along! A goddess of Justice is the one giving you the push!"I paused for a moment and tried to come up with a counter arguement Astrea-sama might be helping me but that doesn't mean my actions are just. Every person commits a mistake.

"Just let me ask this to you... Bell, do you regret helping Wiene, Ray, Fear, Lyd, Gross and all the others?"

"No..."

"Then there is nothing wrong about it!! Be proud of what you did!! And do you think that the whole city hates you because of that!? Haven't you heard of how people are talking about your fight against Asterius!? People treats you as a Hero already! Don't you agree!?"

Yeah she's right.

I didn't know what came into me but now I understand, all of my doubts are disappearing right now one by one. All of then are beint consumed by the burning passion inside my heart.

"By the way, why are we here inside my mind? What happened to me!? DID I PERHAPS DIE!!??"

"Oh that? You're just unconcious. Your body is adjusting to your new powers so you won't be able to wake up anytime soon. So just relax here, I want to talk to you some more!" She sat down and patted the invisible floor beside her.

I went to her side and sat down with her. We indulged ourselves in all kinds of topics. From my arrival in Orario, my old Familia, Aiz-san saving me, monsterphelia and lastly the war game.

We kept on talking and laughing at each other's stories especially the dumbest ones and before we knew it. We were already laughing like there is no tommorow at everything.

"But who would've thought that Riveria-san of all people will finally fall in love!? And the most surprising thing about that is THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE HER!! ARE YOU NUTS!? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MAN HAVE TRIED TO WIN HER HEART ONLY TO BE SHOT DOWN BRUTALY OR BE FROZEN TO DEATH!!?? MILLIONS BELL!! MILLIONS!! Haah... You are wasting your luck you know? If I were you, I would instantly marry her..." She said disappointedly with a hint of annoyance.

"But there's no helping it... I love Aki-san... I admit that Riveria-san is better than her but that's not where the problem is... There is something about Aki-san that I don't see at any other girls..."

"Well... You have a point. You can't just choose on who you'll fall in love after all, it just happens without any notice. Not even gods and goddess could escape from suddenly falling in love with someone. AH!! CHANGE TOPIC!! I don't like where this is going!"

As our conversation dragged on, we lost track of time and emerged ourselves in reminiscing the past until...

"Bell, it's time..."

As soon as she said that, I felt my body heat up and my consciousness slowly fading away.

"Alise-san... What is happening...? I'm getting dizzy.." I got on my knees as my vision started to turn upside down.

"You're waking up. Your body finally accepted and adjusted to the new powers you received earlier and is now ready. But before you wake up, remember this. This is not a dream, I'm real and everything about me being the spirit that resides inside the sword is true... Now go ahead, you can sleep now on this side and wake up on the outside..."

"T.. ..ti... .s .akin. u.."

I heard a familiar stoic but soothing voice speaking to another person as I slowly woke up from my deep slumber.

I opened my eyes and saw Amid-san and surprisingly Naza-san talking to each other, with !Naza-san saying how upset she is by not calling her and Miach-sama here.

"As I said before, it was just earlier that Bell-san was carried over here by lady Astrea, we were busy monitoring his abnormal condition up until you showed up. Now please leave, you're disturbing our patients."

"That's not it, I don't care if you are the one treating him. I just want you to notify us as well because we are his friends. Not only us but the Hestia Familia and Takemikazuchi Familia as well, it's just as simple as that." Naza-san said.

Because of how she always speaks, I couldn't read her emotion very well. I don't get if she's angry or sad. Because no matter how she speaks, it always comes out as a calm voice.

"It's ok Naza-san, but thanks for your concern." I opened my eyes and saw them with a completely unusual expression carved in their face.

Naza-san despite her calm voice looks very furious. Her dark expression was scaring all the other nurses inside the room silencing them.

Amid-san on the other side has mixed expression.

Determination with a smile and for some reason, she's looking at me.

"I knew it, you'd wake up in no time."

"Yes... How long have I been out?"

"You've been out for almost eight hours and it was currently sunset right now. Also, everyone from your former Familia and Takemikazuchi Familia will be arriving shortly because of Naza-san."

I smiled to myself as I think of what expressions will they have when they see me inside the hospital again. But my question was soon answered when a large number of people destroyed the door of my room.

"""BEEEELL!!!"""

Hestia, Lily, Mikoto-san, Welf, Waitresses of the pub, Ouka-san and Takemikazuchi-sama as well as Asfi-san and Hermes-sama came rushing.

"Oy bro!! What happened to you this time!? Aren't you not allowed to go training or exploration because of your recent injury!?" Welf exclaimed.

"He's right!! Bell-sama, what kind of reckless this are you trying to do again!?" Lily added angrily.

"Bell-dono! I'm just glad that you are alright but we are always here to help you! Please don't push yourself too hard. Even if we both belong on a different Familia now, that doesn't change that fact that we are friends!!"

A barrage of questions and sermons were thrown into me. I was at first happy because of their concern but got overwhelmed by them a few moments later. And then, Amid-san did something not very "Saint" like.

"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT THE FUCK UP!!?? YOU SCUMBAGS ARE DISTURBING MY PATIENT!!"

Everyone including me had their jaws smashed through the floor with her choice of words and by how angry she is right now. The calm and composed Saint is nowhere to be seen. It was replaced by the most beautiful demon you could ever imagine in your life.

It was both scary to the point that you will fear for your life and shocking.

"A-Amid-san...?" I uttered in disbelief and after hearing my voice, she came into realization of what she just said.

"Forgive my rudeness but please be quiet, you guys are inside the hospital so be mindful of the others." Her voice was stoic as usual but her blushing and shaking gives her off.

We laughed but supressed it because of our fear of getting kicked out again. After that, they continued questioning me but in order.

"Based on my observations, there are no evidence of you having a fight with anything. Or maybe, that tattoo is covering everything up." The first to speak up was Asfi-san.

"Yes, I was just having my status updated by Astrea-sama this morning and after that, I passed out. And this here, this tattoo covering my whole upper body is my Falna."

Everyone gasped exept for a certain orange haired god who smirked.

"I have a skill before that states that if I reach level 5, it would trigger the full power of Falna given to us by the gods. This will grant us the full power of each level and allows us to update and rank up ourselves." I explained.

"Bell-kun is right. The Falna that we gods give to the humans in this era were just the ten percent of it's real power. Why? Because the immense power of Falna is too much that if the person is not compatible with it, the person will explode from the inside because of too much power. That's also the reason why in the Age of Heroes, only one man possesed the Falna with the same paterns as Bell."

Hermes explained to them all the other things related to the True Falna. Asfi-san and Mikoto-san at first couldn't believe on it but soon calmed down.

"Okay, now that everything clear, what will you do now? Bell-kun?"

"I'll answer that after you answer my question first."

"Okay, shoot it."

"Are you the one that ordered Asterius to attack Aki?"

"Yes, and No. The one I ordered to try and harm Aki-chan was Gross the Gargoyle, they will act like that and seriously try to harm or kill her in order for you to kill them instead, to restore your tarnished reputation. But not everything goes according to plan. Asterius beat them into it and fought you. I gave them a simple instruction to hunt down a cat person with black hair and graceful appearance. I did it all for you Bell-"

In an instant, everyone in the room saw Bell's movement becoming a blur until he stopped. The sound of his sword slashing the air filled the whole room. His action surprised anyone including Hermes himself but the one who is surprised the most was Ryu because of the figure stopping Bell from behind.

It was a person that she knew too well. The person that she can call her greatest friend and ally that she can leave her back on in a fight. The first child of Astrea and their former captain.

"Bell, stop. You shouldn't do this. I know that he did something wrong and could hurt you to the point of doing something horrible that neither you or I can ever imagine. But it's all over now, Aki is alive, and you are now fine... So relax Bell, don't let anger and hatred cloud your thinking. This isn't you..." As tears slowly run down on Bell's eyes, his weapon turned into flames ajd vanished as the fire spirit slowly let go of him.

"I'm sorry. Not to you Hermes but to everyone, sorry for showing such a behavior... I just couldn't stand the way of some gods who treats me as their play thing... And the scenarios that played in my head if I didn't make it in time back then... I already saw her die once, and I can't stand to see it again. As for you. You may be a god but I don't care, the next time you do something that will harm those who are close to me. I'll send you back to your province!"

Everyone in the room knows how serious Bell is, that's why none of them uttered a single word. As for Hermes, he was looking at Asfi apologetically.

"Now, even though I said that it's wrong to kill you, it's not right to let you go free so here is a little punishment from your beautiful Fire Spirit Alise!!" With a snap of her fingers, Hermes' butt was consumed with fire. But not just ordinary fire.

It was the weakest fire that exist, it won't inflict any burn on the skin but you will feel it's immense heat in direct contact. Because of it, Hermes was now running around asking for help.

"Hermes-sama, I warned you that everything you did has a high chance of backfiring to you." Asfi sighed before walking towards Bell and Alise.

"It surprised me when you appeared, Alise. It's been a long time..."

"Yeah... It's been a very long time. Sorry if I have to do this to your god but he deserves it.""I know but still, I ask both of you for your forgiveness and please stop this... Bell, I'm sorry for what happened and my inability to stop him. I'm sorry that I couldn't go against his orders... I will take any punishment for his actions so please, stop Alise..."

Asfi did a dogeza in front of him and Alise. While Alise looks like she won't budge because Hermes needs to learn his lesson, Bell on the other hand kneeled down and picked her up.

"Asfi-san, thank you. I won't blame you for not stopping him. It's not your fault that you can't go against his divine will but the concern that you showed to me from time to time, I really appreciate it. And I accept your apology. You don't have to take his place, there is no need to... Alise-san, please?"

"Aarrrgghh... Alright alright here.""Now, everyone. Can I ask for your help?"

""Does that includes us nya?"" Chloe and Anya asked.

"Yes but for Syr-san... I need to talk to her in private for something since she can't go with us."

"Where are we exactly headed? Cranel-san and also... Please explain this to me... Alise!! What is that form!? Whe-" Ryu was silenced by a warm hug from the fire spirit. Her arms enveloping her body and her head rested on her right shoulder.

"Since we don't have time, I'll show you my memories so calm down okay? Concentrate and close your eyes. It will be over in a second." Ryu did as she was told. After letting her shock subside, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Alise then pressed her forehead against Ryu and showed her what happened.

"I see... I understand, please continue Cranel-san." Ryu smiled at the boy who smiled at her in return before proceeding to his proposal.

"Can you guys help me? Let's put an end to this already. Let us defeat the Evilus"

Hi, sorry for the long delay.

I decided to show Bell's side and look here, we have a character that all of the Danmemo players (like me) loves.

Also, about the dungeon.

I got this idea also in the game, when Astrea and Erebus met at the 18th floor for their final confrontation, Erebus asked Astrea if she will execute him there but then Astrea said that he will only get trapped and have is arcanum absorbed instead of going back to heaven if he was killed there.

So I made it that those who die in the dungeon either monster or human/demi-humans get's their soul trapped inside. Not getting sent to heaven but absorbed by the dungeon and gets reincarnated as a new monster without the memory of being a human. And that's the reason why they also gain intellegence after dying repeatedly as a monster and learn to speak.

Sorry for the late update, that's all for now. See you in the next one.
