(Y/N): We're back again folks! Caesar may be gone, but I'm not going to rest until the Pillar Men are defeated for good! More adventures, allies, and girls are coming your way, so I hope you're excited! Now, it's time to wreck some ancient assholes!
And so, all of you set off to the Kingdom of Dils where Dragon Valley was located.
However, getting there would take a while. Especially, since-
Lina was seen scarfing her face with food.
And you were not far behind with her.
(Y/N): LINA SAVE SOME FOR EVERYONE!
Lina: EVER HEARD OF FIRST COME FIRST SERVE?!
Amelia: Oh my, Mr. (Y/N) and Ms. Lina sure do ... eat a lot.
Ruby: Yeah, they both need to be on full stomachs since they have high magic power.
Amelia: Nothing can scare them!
Weiss: Actually, slugs scare Lina.
Amelia: Oh, really?
Blake: Yep.
(Y/N): Okay, so we need to be on the lookout for anything that looks suspicious or can get us quicker to Dils.
Ruby: Like?
(Y/N): Well anything. Shortcuts, information, or-
Lina: We go and raid Bandit Hideouts!
Gourry: You're not thinking about causing another ruckus, are you?
Lina: Hey, you can never know what a bandit might have to give us.
(Y/N): She's right. They can find something valuable. Maybe there could be some manuscripts of the Claire Bible that might give us a glimpse of the real thing.
???: Well well. Looks like you're all well-informed.
Everyone: HUH?!
A figure appeared. He looked very ... strange.

(Y/N): Uh ... you know about the Claire Bible?
???: Why yes I do my friend. (Y/N) (L/N), right? And you're Lina Inverse.
Ruby: This guy seems well-informed too.
(Y/N): Who are you?
Xellos: I go by Xellos, Mysterious Priest.
Yang: Mysterious Priest?
Weiss: Okay, do I even need to state the obvious? Look at him! That smile, his closed eyes, the fact he called himself a Mysterious Priest? He's obviously untrustworthy!
Amelia: I agree with Ms. Weiss, anyone who calls themselves a mysterious priest is suspicious.
Xellos: There's no need to be suspicious. Really, I am trustworthy.
(Y/N): Yeah sure.
Xellos: Well, it would interest all of you to know that there's a nearby town where a cult that worships Demon King Shabranigdu is. They have stolen some manuscripts of the Claire Bible, which came from the temple I come from.
Ruby: Oh, is that so? So, we have the same goal in mind!
Lina: Wait, Xellos, which temple is it?
Xellos: Now, that is a secret.
(Y/N): WHAT?! Just cough it up!
Xellos: My, you have quite the temper. Maybe some tea would help?
Xellos offered you a cup of tea.
(Y/N): I DON'T PLAY GAMES HERE!
Ruby: Wait, what if the info he's giving is legit? Maybe it's a good chance for us to check it out.
(Y/N): Good point. But listen here Xellos, I got my eye on you. And if you backstab us, I'm going to have Yang pound your balls, and Lina Dragon Slave you!
Xellos: Duly noted. Alright, shall we be on our way?
(Y/N): And Weiss, if he makes a wisecrack, would you like to-
Weiss: Yes, I'll put him on ice, gladly.
Xellos: My, you're pretty cute when you're angry, aren't you?
He held Weiss' hand and kissed it.
Weiss: (blushing) HEY! YOU PERVERT!
She slapped him across the face.
(Y/N): Sheesh. I miss Zelgadis already.
Ruby: Me too. Makes me want to know what he's up to now.
Meanwhile ... in the nearby Town of Mine...
A whole bunch of hooded figures were chanting about Shabranigdu.
???: In the name of Lord Shabranigdu, we will succeed.
Their leader took off her hood.

Mazenda (Leader of the Cult of Shabranigdu!)
Mazenda: And with the manuscripts of the Claire Bible, we have what we need to summon the ultimate chimera.
