Alfonso looked at the person in front of him with disbelieve.
"Dante?"
"Yo buddy, welco back~" Said Dante with a smile.
"What the…" Alfonso didn't know what to think.
"Buddy, before anything, let tell you how impressed I am with you" Said Dante.
"What do you an?" Asked Alfonso.
"I an… this is the first ti that I have seen the gods here so pissed about soone, to actually drag a living human here… I must express a sincere bow to you" Said Dante while bowing.
"I…" Alfonso was confused.
"Even I didn't piss them so much" Added Dante.
"What did I do? I don't rember having troubles with the underworld…" Murmured Alfonso.
"Oh but you do, Alfonso" A voice ca from behind Afonso.
"Who!?"
Alfonso turned and saw a small kid with platinum hair looking at him. He seed to be not older than 13 years old, he was wearing a pair of shorts and a white t-shirt.
"Who is this little kid?" Asked Alfonso to Dante.
"I don't know, he ca just before you woke up" Said Dante.
"How co you don't recognize , Alfonso?" Said the kid.
"Have we t before?" Asked Alfonso.
The kid looked at Alfonso and sighed.
"Maybe this will help" Said the kid.
Suddenly, from his hair, a pair of ears grow, also, from his back, a small tail could be seeing.
"How about now?" Asked the kid.
Alfonso was stunned.
"C-C-Cerberus!?" Asked Alfonso.
"Bingo" Said Cerberus with a cheeky smile.
Alfonso couldn't believe his eyes, he grabbed the cheeks of Cerberus.
"Is that really you?" Asked Alfonso.
"Stosh pullinsh mysh cheesh!" Said Cerberus.
"Oh, sorry" Said Alfonso.
"Anyway, the one surprised here is " Said Cerberus.
"Huh?" Asked Alfonso.
"You are quite the celebrity down here" Said Cerberus.
Alfonso had three question marks above his head.
"You are the number one troublemaker here in the Underworld" Said Alfonso.
"Tr-troublemaker?" Asked Alfonso.
"You see, to explain it better, I have to tell you about the process of soone whose soul is sent here" Said Cerberus.
"When soone dies, the soul is reclaid by a grim reaper, then the grim reaper in question absorbers the negative soul power of the soul in question, they beco stronger and the soul loses all his or her powers, that's why, even if a champion at the emperor level cos here, they won't be different from any mortal"
Alfonso nodded.
"However, to extract the soul of soone, there are a few conditions, for instance, the process of 'dying' is just that the body can't support the soul anymore and it cos out of the body; A body without a soul decay and so on"
"Here it cos one of the reasons you are so popular, you see, the soul power that you contain, in theory, it's too much for your body, that's why you should have been dead a lot of ti ago… however, there is sothing else inside you that, basically, don't let your body decay while your soul rerged with your body" Said Cerberus.
"Sothing?" Asked Alfonso.
"A second soul" Said Cerberus.
"There is soone else inside you, that's why you haven't 'die' yet" Said Cerberus.
Alfonso imdiately though in Chrono.
"However, that's not the most important reason, the most reason is your soul in question" Said Cerberus.
"Your soul, who has died two tis already, has absorbed the death aura on the underworld, so your soul has a HUGE amount of death soul power, that makes the grim reapers go crazy on your soul" Said Cerberus.
"Really?" Asked Alfonso in disbelieve.
"I have been here for so ti and your na is known in all the 8 levels of the underworld"
"As he said, even the gods of hell are anxious for your soul"
"I supposed that's also the reason why are you here" Said Cerberus.
"What?"
"The god of the sixth level was the one who summoned your soul here, of course, he paid a huge price but still…" Said Cerberus.
"Do you know him?" Asked Alfonso.
"Of course, I do, after all… I ca here to kill him" Said Cerberus.
Alfonso looked at Cerberus who had a resolute expression.
"Why?" Asked Alfonso.
"He has sothing that belongs to , I want it back" Said Cerberus.
"What is it?" Asked Alfonso.
"…" Cerberus didn't answer.
Alfonso looked at Cerberus and sighed.
He patted the head of Cerberus.
"It's okay if you don't want to say it, however, let help you" Said Alfonso.
"Alfonso…"
"I want to go too!" Said Dante.
"Oh, he has sothing that belongs to you as well, Alfonso" Said Cerberus.
"Sothing that belongs to ?"
Cerberus touched the cane of Alfonso.
"This strange cane of yours… he has a pendulum that irradiates the exact type of soul power that this cane of you does" Said Cerberus.
'DING!'
Suddenly, a notification from the system sounded on Alfonso's head.

Alfonso looked at the mission and knew he didn't have much of a choice.
"So, what do we do now?" Asked Alfonso.
"I know two routes, the safest one and the shortest one, which would you like to take?" Said Dante.
"I recomnd the safest one by the way" He added.
"If we took the safest one, how many days will it take us to reach the sixth level?" Asked Alfonso.
"About 3" Said Dante.
"Days?" Asked Alfonso.
"No, years" Said Dante.
"…"
"I get it! You are in a hurry! Sure! Let's go get ourselves killed by taking the shortest one!" Said Dante.
"How many days will it take us if we take this route?" Asked Alfonso.
"If we sohow managed to get in one piece… seventy hours" Said Dante.
