However, this rare tranquility was soon broken by someone.

"Something's wrong! Finn!"

Riveria's voice suddenly came from outside the door. This usually elegant and proper elven royal was unusually out of control at this moment. She even forgot to knock and just broke into the door.

"Rivia, what happened?"

Upon seeing his friend's sudden change, Finn immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. His previous joking expression vanished instantly, and he reverted to the familiar leader everyone knew.

"Barbara is back!"

"And they brought back three people, two of whom we all know..."

What do you mean?

Finn frowned. Riveria seemed so shocked that she was almost incoherent.

"Don't rush, Rivera. What could be more important than the return of the gods from Pleasure Street?"

"Don't worry, take your time."

Finn has been active in Orario for so many years, what big things hasn't he seen? Nothing can shake his heart anymore.

"Forget it, even if I tell you the details, you might not believe me... It's better to see for yourself."

Rivera sighed helplessly, then led Finn and the others toward the Loki Familia's reception room.

As the door opened, the first thing that caught the eye was the familiar blonde girl, Barbara Benba.

However, compared to before she left, the girl seemed to have a golden pendant on her body.

A fox lady who looked incredibly timid was using her tail to cling to Barbara like an octopus, showing absolutely no intention of letting go.

The moment Finn saw this, he understood everything: Barbara had indeed gone to the entertainment district!

Did she start a war with the Dark Faction at the Carnival?

Moreover, the little fox on the girl's body looks like someone who came out of the entertainment district, and definitely cannot be a normal adventurer!

Girls and girls?

Barbara and the unknown fox spirit…

It feels terrible no matter how I think about it!

If this news gets out, Loki's Familia will truly become the harem Loki dreamed of.

And it's not Loki's harem, it's the Savior's harem... Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Immediately putting those thoughts aside, Finn turned his gaze to the other two women.

However, the moment Finn saw the two women, his eyes widened, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

I thought my heart had long since become unmoved, but who knew reality would give me another slap in the face…

"Alphia? Alexie?"

What are you doing here?

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 52 Can that thing kill people?

As the leader of the Loki Familia, Finn rarely showed any surprise, but the two people in front of him did so with ease: Alexie and Alphia.

Alyssa, the leader of the Astrea Familia, was wiped out four years ago in the dungeon along with the entire Astrea Familia due to an attack by the Dark Faction.

Alphia, a member of the Hera Familia, participated in the plan to destroy Orario seven or eight years ago with the "evil god" Erebus, but in reality it was to cultivate the next generation. After fighting against the Astrea Familia, she finally jumped into the sea of ​​fire and turned to ashes.

Logically speaking, these two people had been dead for several years, but now they were alive and well, appearing before Finn's eyes, exactly like they had been.

In other words, they were resurrected?

The instant he figured this out, Finn turned his gaze to Barbara, who was being held by a blonde fox, his eyes seeming to say: You can even resurrect them?

Finn's actions naturally did not escape Alphia's notice, and the gray-haired rabbit immediately understood everything.

"So it really was you?"

"After my resurrection, I wandered around the city, often hearing people in the streets chanting the name of the 'Savior.'"

"I initially thought it was just a gimmick, but it turns out it's actually true..."

"The magic of resurrection, I have heard that the sages of the past also possessed such power... but in our time no one has ever seen a sage, it is just a legend."

But you are real!

Anyway, thank you...

The woman, who seemed incredibly aloof, now showed an embarrassed expression, and even her face turned slightly red. Perhaps the two high-ranking members of the Loki Familia had never seen Alphia with such an expression in their lives.

But Alphia's words made it very clear that even Alexandra knew who had helped her.

"Me too!"

The red-haired girl spoke in a somewhat carefree tone, but her expression was extremely serious.

"If he hadn't been resurrected, I doubt I would have ever known Leon's current situation..."

"If I let her continue living like this, the entire clan will definitely curse me to death, right?"

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to change all of this!"

The two resurrected women then began to chat with Barbara, even ignoring Finn and the others around them for a time.

Rivera seemed rather helpless, but Finn began to think about the potential trouble that might arise later…

The appearance of two dead people is enough to change the situation in Orario, and enough to make Barbara, who has the magic of resurrection, surrounded by people's goodwill and malice.

Goodwill is fine, but malice is a bit more difficult to deal with... because no one can easily distinguish between goodwill and malice around them.

This puts Barbara in danger!

In Finn's view, Violet was fully capable of protecting herself, and even if Otta came, he might not be able to kill her, but Barbara was different.

Barbara, who has absolutely no combat abilities and can only heal and revive, will become someone everyone wants to fight over!

Finn had also fought against the Dark Clan before and knew how terrifying they were. Even if they destroyed Barbara's mind, they could turn her into a puppet that could use resurrection magic...

So, how should we protect Barbara in the future?

Thinking about this, Finn frowned. He suddenly felt that he, as a level 6, might not be able to protect Barbara.

But the expression on his face was naturally seen by Alphia, who was talking to him.

Thus, Alphia made her promise to the adventurer who had surpassed the limits of level 7 and was a powerful being who could fight against the level 9 Empress.

"If you're worried about Barbara's safety, don't worry."

“I was already dead, and it is already a great fortune that I have been resurrected. So I assure you that as long as I am alive, she will be fine.”

His tone was unusually calm, yet it contained an unprecedented confidence. This was Alphia, the top adventurer of the Hera Familia.

"But before that, could you give me some time?"

"I once chose to help Erebus, placing my hopes on the next generation, but the next generation died mysteriously..."

"Now, I finally don't have to worry about the future of the world."

As she said this, Alphia looked at the red-haired girl, Alyssa. It was after fighting Alyssa's familia that she chose to commit suicide, because she believed that these girls had the power to create the future.

But who could have imagined that not only would Alisha be gone, but even the Astrea Familia would leave Orario, leaving only a useless elf behind...

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it..."

"After all, that monster is just too strong, and it even has the power to reflect magic. We really can't beat it!"

Reflecting magic?

"Could you describe that monster in detail?"

Upon hearing this, Finn and Riveria both narrowed their eyes. They had never heard of such a monster before, but Alphia remained calm.

"There's no need for that, I'll tell you myself."

Perhaps because of her resurrection, Alphia's aloofness seemed to have completely melted away, and she no longer spoke harshly as before.

After all, our benefactor is right in front of us; it's really inappropriate to do these things.

"That monster is called a 'Zagnat,' a special monster that only appears after the dungeon has been extensively destroyed."

"His strength isn't great, but his speed is decent, and he can also deflect magic."

"I just never expected that thing could actually kill people?"

Alphia's nonchalant attitude really hurt Alyssa's feelings and filled the girl with doubt.

"So how did you defeat it back then, that Zagnat?"

Upon hearing this, Riveria immediately perked up her ears. After all, she had never seen such a monster before, and hearing some countermeasures would allow her to respond effectively.

But Alphia's next words silenced everyone completely.

"How do we defeat them? By using magic, of course!"

"But doesn't she have the ability to reflect magic? Several of my guild members died from reflected magic..."

Recalling the scene, Alexie felt that if they wanted to defeat that monster, they couldn't let the mage take action; instead, they should have many warriors surround and kill it!

If we don't do this, it's impossible to eliminate the enemy.

"It's very simple."

Alphia held up one finger.

"When the monster reflects the magic back, just hit it back with an even more powerful spell."

"What if it bounces back again?"

"Just keep fighting back with even more powerful magic. That's how I destroyed it back then."

"..."

The silence in the room mirrored the mood of everyone present.

After all, not everyone can do this kind of thing.

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 53 Past Regrets, Keep Moving Forward!

"Oh, right, there's something else... could I ask you for a favor too?"

"They are my spy machines!"

"Oh no! Without everyone..."

“I know this is greedy, and it will create unprecedented favors for us, but if we don’t do this, Watashi…”

With Alphia's matter settled, it's now Alishie's turn.

The girl in red made no attempt to maintain her composure and performed a standard dogeza (a deep bowing gesture), even her tone becoming humble.

As the leader of the Astrea Familia, Alyssa, though lacking the authority of a leader, rarely humbled herself to beg someone she had just met, as this would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Familia.

But Alexandra has already died once!

Therefore, the girl had nothing to worry about.

—

“I must thank you again, Barbara.”

"Without you, I probably wouldn't even have had the chance to see Leon, let alone teach that useless elf a lesson..."

"I know what I'm about to say is terrible, but I have to do it... Please, please help me revive the rest of the Astrea Familia!"

"I'll do anything to bring everyone back to life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alicia prostrated herself on the ground, adopting a standard dogeza (vertical kowtow), her voice pleading in a very humble tone.

"..."

No one present responded, leaving the remaining space to Barbara.

Even Finn didn't choose to interrupt.
