The ten beautiful girls from the former [Astraea Familia] were:
Alise, Kaguya, Lila, Neze, Noin, Asta, Lyana, Celty, Iska, and Maryū.
Alise Lovell was the former captain of the [Astraea Familia].
A human, age 18, with red hair and green eyes—cheerful and full of positivity.
She often wore her hair in a ponytail, was kind to everyone, and treated all equally.
During her days as an adventurer, Alise was a close friend and comrade of [Gale] Ryuu Lion.
Her title was [Scarlet Justice Blossom], and she possessed a rare skill that surpassed her level.
After her resurrection, Alise's level was retained at Level 4.
She had reached as deep as the 33rd floor of the dungeon.
Five years ago—
At 18 years old, Alise was already approaching Level 5 strength.
Due to the power of her skill [Crimson Bloom of Justice], her true combat power easily rivaled that of a Level 5 adventurer.
And now, thanks to Raven Eltharion's Summoning Magic enhancements—
Her current strength was unquestionably at her peak.
Without a doubt, she could jump two levels and become a Level 6 adventurer!
After all…
In the original timeline, even Ryuu Lion at Level 4 managed to jump two levels.
So for Alise—the captain of a Familia—why not?
Yes.
Raven's Summoning Magic—
Was quite similar to the Summoner class in "DNF" (Dungeon & Fighter), a subclass of the Female Mage.
Summoners specialize in commanding large armies of summoned beasts to overwhelm their foes.
As a Summoner—
All one had to do was give orders and power up their minions.
Then…
Just stand back and enjoy the fierce battle from a distance.
Sometimes—
Raven wondered if he could summon a goblin with terrifying battle power, just like in DNF.
After all, as a regular human, Raven was completely unsuited for melee combat.
But he could control his summoned creatures freely—
And let them fight on his behalf.
Kaguya Gojouno was the former vice-captain of the [Astraea Familia].
A human, age 19, with black hair and red eyes, often dressed in a kimono.
Though she looked like a delicate beauty, her personality was brash and sharp-tongued.
Her title was [Yamato Lancer], and her adventurer level was 4.
She had reached as far as the 41st floor of the dungeon.
Within the Familia, she was one of the top close-combat sword fighters.
Kaguya's original deity was the goddess of beauty—Konohana Sakuya.
After a certain incident, Konohana Sakuya revoked her Falna.
That's when Kaguya joined the Familia of the goddess of justice and order—Astraea.
Though she and Ryuu often competed with each other and seemed at odds—
The truth was, they got along quite well.
They frequently sparred and exchanged techniques.
Lila was another member of the former [Astraea Familia] and the one Ryuu trusted most.
She had short pink hair and the charming, petite features of a Pallum. Age 18.
Despite her cute appearance, her personality was the opposite—insightful, cunning, and highly intelligent.
Her title was [Cunning Mouse], and her adventurer level was 3.
Neze Lonklet — a beastman (werewolf), Level 4, with the title [Fang of Justice].
Noin Eunik — human, Level 4.
Asta Knox — dwarf, Level 3.
Lyana Liz — human, Level 4.
Celty Sloya — elf, Level 4.
Iska Bra — Amazoness, Level 4.
Maryū Reanchie — human, Level 4.
The [Astraea Familia] was similar in spirit to the [Ganesha Familia], known as the "city's military police."
They dedicated themselves to protecting Orario's peace and upholding justice.
Seven years ago, during the city's "Dark Age"—
The 11 members of the [Astraea Familia] defeated a deliberately-held-back version of [Silent] Alfia in combat.
After their victory—
Every single member of the Familia leveled up once.
Five years ago—
The Familia held a B-rank, had defeated 21 floor bosses, and reached the 41st floor.
Though small in number, they were all second-tier adventurers:
Nine Level 4s and two Level 3s.
Plus, one member who was just one step away from breaking into first-tier territory!
Among exploration-type Familias, the [Astraea Familia] was undeniably powerful.
Beyond dungeon exploring, they were also tasked with maintaining city order and rooting out lawbreakers.
However…
All eleven of them, while in the dungeon, encountered a rare catastrophe—Juggernaut.
Only [Gale] Ryuu Lion survived. The other ten perished.
If these girls had lived until now—
There would likely be nine Level 5s and two Level 4s.
It's even possible that two or three of them would've reached Level 6!
Unfortunately, they died far too early.
But now… it's okay!
With Raven Eltharion here—
After granting them rebirth, a new and glorious chapter would begin.
Thanks to the boosts of Summoning Magic—
The ten girls, now in peak form, would have all their levels elevated!
That is to say:
Eight Level 5s and two Level 4s.
More precisely—
Seven Level 5s—because Alise was now a Level 6 adventurer!
Raven scanned each of them—
Until his gaze locked onto the green-haired elf among them.
—Celty!
She wore glasses, with a gentle and graceful temperament. Her height was 1.66 meters.
She had a slim and elegant frame, white skin like fine porcelain, and a slender waist.
Truly a stunning example of the high-elf aesthetic.
With Celty now present—
Raven could activate the sixth passive of [Sanctum of Holy Magic] at any time.
Which meant—he could reach Level 3 strength whenever needed!
"Former members of the [Astraea Familia], huh?"
"Nice!"
"To think I summoned ten famous beauties all at once."
Raven took a deep breath, eyes flashing with delight.
Summoning that many people in one go—
Meant he wouldn't even have to go picking up magic stones and drop items tomorrow in the dungeon.
So satisfying!
Alfia smiled faintly at the scene.
"Never thought it would be those girls."
"Are you planning to have them spar with me?"
Raven shook his head, catching his breath.
"No. It's pointless."
Even if they fought again and Alise's group won, they wouldn't gain experience points.
Because…
[Silent] Alfia wasn't an enemy.
Only when facing a defined strong opponent and defeating them—
Would they stand a strong chance of triggering a Great Feat and leveling up.
But now, things were different.
A spar would be just that—practice, nothing more.
"You're not training in hand-to-hand anymore?" Alfia asked.
Raven sighed helplessly.
"With all of you here, why should I?"
"Rather than torturing myself, I'd rather figure out ways to buff your power."
Just like the Summoner class in "DNF"—
Raven's role was to boost his summons' strength, not fight himself.
After a while…
Raven steadied his breathing, and his mana, stamina, and mental power rapidly recovered.
Silently, with a thought—
He unlocked their magical bindings, releasing the ten girls' consciousness.
In other words—
He had just "booted them up."
