Fairy Tail

With feet like eagle claws and sharp, dark blue nails, it possesses a heretical beauty—this is the structure of the monster, the Songbird.

Monsters that possess reason do not have the ferocious appearance typical of monsters; instead, they possess an appearance that can be described as beautiful.

If all monsters had this beautiful appearance, then monster fetishism wouldn't be incomprehensible.

Of course, the monster fetish that is generally criticized refers to those monsters with grotesque and extremely strange appearances, which is fundamentally different from Ray's.

"No direct attack, yet it can talk... indeed, it's Xenos."

Satella narrowed her eyes and said, "I am Satella. What's your name?"

"My name is Ray."

The Songbird responded instinctively, then looked at Satella with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is Xenos?"

"A monster with reason is an outcast, having no place among humans or monsters."

Satella gazed calmly at Ray.

Through the network of souls, Satella relayed the information here to Ming Ge, and Satella quickly received a response.

"My master wants to see you."

Seeing that Ray still wanted to ask something, Satella her hand, and her Soul Materialization to create a black cloak, which she then wrapped around the Songbird.

Despite being very nervous, Ray remained motionless.

Even without fully understanding her, one could instinctively sense the depth of Satella's domineering and terrifying aura.

Even after she was wrapped up, Ray didn't move an inch.

At this moment, Satella spoke up, "Let's go, my companions will take you to see my master."

After saying that, Ray left the dark space.

A bolt of lightning flashed, Raiden Shogun appeared before her.

"I've cast a spell to reduce my presence, follow me."

Raiden Shogun didn't say anything unnecessary, and directly led her through the dark space.

Watching the terrifying scene of the densely packed monsters charging forward, only to be completely swallowed by darkness, Ray swallowed hard, feeling both fear and relief.

Ray finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the dark space.

"That's... light, it's the sun."

Ray stepped out of the Dungeon with anticipation for the unknown. The sunlight streaming in stirred a strong sense of emotion within her.

Compared to the dark and sunless Dungeon, the surface world is indeed much more captivating; the sun is the key element, as it is the only thing that cannot be nurtured in the Dungeon.

Raiden Shogun did not disturb her, but simply waited for Ray to come to her senses.

At this moment, Ming Ge was deep in thought.

"Xenos... he certainly appeared around this time."

According to information from the original work, the first Xenos were discovered after the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia were completely wiped out in their challenge against the Black Dragon.

Whether fate played a role or not, the emergence of the Xenos remained unchanged, even if the outcome of the Black Dragon War was different.

"Speaking of which, this news could also hasten the adventurers' decision to abandon the idea of Dungeon."

Ming Ge thought of this, so through the Third Magic - Magic Network, he randomly connected with dozens of people using the system spread throughout Orario, speeding up the transmission of the message.

Xenos, simply put, are monsters with reason and intellect—related to the rumor deliberately spread by Ming Ge that lives lost in Dungeon may be reincarnated as monsters.

Indeed, this is the case. While the people of the lower realm tirelessly venture into the Dungeon to kill monsters and obtain magic stones, countless lives are also lost within the Dungeon.

The cycle of a thousand years caused a malfunction in the Dungeon's reincarnation system, resulting in the emergence of monsters with self-awareness, no longer driven solely by a bloodlust, but resembling the inhabitants of the lower realm.

Generally speaking, there are two types of Xenos.

One type is the Xenos possesses reason but cannot speak.

Another type is the Xenos inherited memories from their human past and was born with the ability to speak.

The former is an anomaly in the Dungeon reincarnation system, while the latter is a human soul reincarnated as a monster.

"I was just mesmerized by this."

After a while, Ray came to her senses.

"It's alright."

Raiden Shogun said calmly, "My lord has granted you this privilege, so it's best not to delay too long."

"Yes, thank you."

Ray thanked her.

Along the way Ray looked around curiously. Although she had memories from her human days, the 'cleansing ritual' in the Dungeon still had an effect, though these memories were extremely vague.

Furthermore, since it's a memory from a past life, it's like adding a filter; while it's not quite like watching a movie, it is indeed rather blurry.

This is the human world.

Ray looked around at the active adventurers with some curiosity.

These adventurers were clearly very agitated, seemingly because of the activity of the mother (the Dungeon).

Not long after, Ray arrived at the Astraea Familia's encampment, the Starry Court.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Ming Ge."

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose entire body was covered by a black cloak, with only her clean chin showing, Ming Ge greeted her.

Chapter 120 Fairy Tail

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ray."

The Xenos lifted the black hood, revealing the appearance of a young girl.

The movement of her wings caused her black cloak to flutter slightly.

The first thing revealed was her unadorned white skin, followed by her captivating wings.
