"Where are we going?" Loki asked as she saw Kisuke and Hestia going back to the abandoned church. This part of the town was the center of a big battle that her Familia participated in in the past and knew that aside from a small room under the church, there wasn't anything noteworthy here, "We could use our place to do the reset. We'll have better security too." Loki suggested.

Hestia then faced Loki and snickered at her, "Security? Heh! My place has better security than yours!" Since Hestia already knew that Kisuke was bringing them to the underground base, she started to toot her own horn as if it was thanks of her that they had an incredible place.

Loki furrowed her brows and became confused. As they reached the entrance to the elevator of the underground base, Loki tried to recall if there was anything like this before. The door behind them suddenly closed and Loki flinched a bit as she had never encountered an automatic door before. She flinched again, along with Line and Riveria, because the room they were in suddenly started dropping, "What's happening?"

Kisuke didn't answer Loki's question while Hestia only gloated at her, pissing her off. But she knew that it wasn't the time to smack the loli Goddess because she needed to observe everything that was happening. But as they reached the bottom, revealing the entirety of the underground base, even Loki froze for an instant, not knowing what to think of the sight in front of her, "Did an Earth God use their Arcanum here?" She muttered the same thing as Hestia when she descended here.

Hestia pouted slightly and said, "It's annoying that you said the same thing as me... But I understand how you feel."

Instead of entertaining the fellow Goddess, Loki turned to Kisuke, "What's this!? I've been to this place and know that this place didn't exist a few years ago!"

Kisuke grinned and answered, "I just coincidentally found this place~"

Of course, Loki instantly caught that lie, but she went for a different answer like Kisuke was expecting, 'So he knew about this place beforehand. I heard their group only came recently to Orario, so either he has further connections that I'm not aware of, or this isn't his first time in this city.'

Wanting to remove one possibility, Loki asked, "This isn't your first time in Orario?"

Without any hesitation, Kisuke answered, "This our first time in Orario." Kisuke knew that he successfully diverted her conclusion with that answer.

However, Loki wasn't easily fooled as she still hadn't dropped the possibility that Kisuke and his group created this place instead as there was no evidence that said otherwise.

"Now then, everyone. The tour can come later, for now, we'll immediately take care of our main business. Please follow me." Kisuke started walking again and went straight to the clinic that he had set up previously. Once they reached inside, the group could see several rooms, but Kisuke led them to the last one specifically.

Before they could enter that room, however, two figures arrived behind them. Sona and Yoruichi had come after detecting some activity in the underground base that they weren't familiar with, "Good afternoon, Loki-sama, Line-chan... and Riveria-san...?" Yoruichi initiated her greeting but her voice trailed off when she noticed that something was amiss with the High Elf who was holding her still half-full glass of Strawberry Colada Smoothie, "What's wrong with her?"

Line was about to tell them the story, however, she hesitated, as she didn't know if she should really be telling them. Loki and Hestia, on the other hand, only looked towards Kisuke, who was pretending that nothing about this has anything to do with him.

Seeing this familiar sight, Sona sighed, "Let me guess. This idiot overdid it again." Riveria's current state somehow reminded her of the hardships she had to go through from the hands of the 'Devil' that had the incurable disease of not being able to live quietly without messing around with someone.

Chuckling, Loki nodded at her, "I'm surprised you can guess only a few seconds after arriving."

"Loki-sama. We already learnt that if someone isn't acting quite right, and Kisuke is around, we can always assume that it has something to do with him." Sona smiled as she replied.

"Hey! It isn't always my fault!" Kisuke tried to protest, but everyone ignored him.

Yoruichi first looked at Line before saying, "You're going through the level reset? What did he ask of you?"

Line nodded and told her about the vows she took.

Sighing, Yoruichi muttered, "For me, just the information control is enough. But Kisuke is Kisuke, no matter where he goes or who he's dealing with."

"It's alright, Yoruichi-san. I think all of his demands are understandable after seeing this place."

"I see. Then good luck. I can assure your safety in his hands. We'll be going first. Sona needs to practice her martial arts." Yoruichi turned around and waved to them before exiting the clinic.

"Have a good day, everyone." Sona bowed slightly before following Yoruichi outside.

Line also bowed towards them, "Thank you very much."

Kisuke asked Loki and Line to perform the level reset on the bed in the middle of the room after he gave them the signal. He still needed to do some checks before proceeding with the process.

After he confirmed that everything was working properly, Kisuke activated concealing magic so that no outside forces could guess what was happening in this place. He expected the level reset to make some noise because the record said that every time it was performed, the Gods around would immediately notice it.

"Everything is good to go. Please do it." Kisuke gave them the signal.

Instead of immediately doing it, Loki first looked around and muttered, "Hooh~. This magic, these syntaxes, I wonder where you learned all of this. It isn't magic of any race in this world." As someone who already experienced countless battles, Loki learned how to read magic so that she could react to it whenever it was cast in front of her. However, the magic that Kisuke deployed used a different set of language which she hadn't seen before.

"I learned it at home~." He answered simply.

Loki stared at him for a moment as Kisuke's identity became more and more obscure inside her head, 'It seems that I'm still underestimating him.' Forgetting about it for a moment, Loki turned to Line and commanded, "Take off your top."

Line knew that she had to do it, but she hesitated because Kisuke was still looking over. Reading the atmosphere, Kisuke quietly turned around.

Line sighed and took off her top while still wary of Kisuke. She then lied down on her chest to let Loki access her back more easily.

Loki then pricked her finger with the prepared needle and drew a circle of her blood on Line's back, instantly revealing her Falna. She then started drawing a line from Line's nape until her pelvis.

A few seconds later, red lightning started crawling through the line Loki drew and, at the same time, a scream of pain emerged from Line, "KYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

She wanted to move or roll around, but she noticed that she couldn't even lift a finger so she could only scream in pain, "Loki-sama, please get away." Kisuke immediately turned back and instructed Loki. He then approached Line and put a gag on her mouth so that she wouldn't bite her tongue, thinking that it might also ease the pain she was feeling.

Loki immediately followed Kisuke's instruction and went back to Hestia and Riveria's side.

Kisuke, on the other hand, activated the first magic circle for the treatment. The first magic he activated sucked out almost all of the Mana in the space around Line. He guessed that it was the Mana, which didn't react well with the Spiritual Energy, that made most of the damage to the soul-body as it contaminated the wound.

Kisuke then went back to his terminal to watch Line's vital statistics and waited for the level reset to finish. He noticed that Line's soul-body became covered in cracks and now understood how dangerous this entire process was, 'The level reset just pulls the saved excelia from the soul and physical body without any regards to its host.'

After a few minutes, Line settled down and lost her consciousness, signalling the end of the reset.

Kisuke then created a barrier through Kidou around Line before deactivating the first magic. He then initiated the healing Kidou that would slowly nourish and heal Line's soul.
