In the next moment, all ten of them opened their eyes at once.
After being summoned through Raven's magic, their bodies were fully restored—no injuries, no scars.
Even Alise, who had been impaled through the abdomen in her final battle—
Kaguya, who had lost an arm—
And Lila, who had gone completely blind—
All of them stood whole again.
Even those who had perished in gruesome ways, torn apart in body, were now perfectly healed.
"Where… am I?" Alise whispered, touching her abdomen. Her voice trembled. "I… I've been revived?"
"Everyone… is still alive?"
"Or is this just a dream…?"
"It's not a dream," Raven Eltharion replied, his gaze steady as he looked at her. "It was my magic that summoned you all back."
"You're…" Alise's eyes narrowed when she turned to the quiet figure beside him. "The Witch—Alfia?!"
Standing there calmly was [Silence] Alfia, no longer in disguise.
Even at a glance, Alise recognized her instantly.
Her face froze—expression tightening with immediate caution.
The name "Witch" was synonymous with Alfia in the past.
And it wasn't just a name born of admiration—it was also born of fear.
[Silence] Alfia was considered the nemesis of all mages.
Her ability, [Garden of Silence], completely nullified spellcasting in her presence.
Mages—rendered powerless.
She was the incarnation of despair for magic users.
Back then, her body had been destroyed by a terminal illness—so terrible that even gods couldn't heal it.
Seven years ago, during the infamous final battle—
She could barely keep her eyes open due to the pain. She had fought with her eyes closed the entire time.
"My name is Raven Eltharion," Raven said calmly. "Like all of you, Alfia was revived through my Summoning Magic."
"But let me make this clear—I am not Erebus."
He didn't use his magic to enslave or control.
He brought them back with their memories and free will intact.
He wanted companions—not tools. Not puppets.
…(Well, if he summoned some Super Goblin or something, he'd control it, of course.)
Alfia's heterochromatic eyes swept coldly across the ten resurrected warriors.
She was just about to speak—but Raven lifted a hand to stop her.
"Let me explain."
Alfia wasn't the chatty type.
She valued peace and silence—and especially hated noisy interruptions.
"Summoning Magic…" murmured Lila, already analyzing the situation with her sharp mind.
Kaguya clenched her restored right arm, muttering, "So this really grew back…"
"A genius mage capable of revival… huh?"
To them, there had only ever been two supreme magical geniuses:
[Witch] Alfia and [Nine Mage Princess] Riveria.
And now, perhaps… [Magic Lord] Raven Eltharion would be the third.
His Summoning Magic surpassed anything they'd seen or imagined.
"It's not as impressive as it sounds," Raven said humbly.
"But I've brought you back—so let's live well, together."
At those words, the tension eased a little.
Their deep wariness toward Alfia didn't disappear, but for now…
They lowered their guard.
After all, it was Raven who brought them back.
Their loyalty was to him—not to the world, not to old grudges.
Even so…
Some part of their hearts still struggled to accept the presence of Alfia.
The "Demon" who had once fought to destroy their ideals of justice.
But Raven understood.
He had ways to ensure peace among companions.
Because in truth…
Both [Gluttony] Zald and [Silence] Alfia were heroes—not villains.
It was Erebus, the evil god, who had twisted history and smeared them in sin.
Zald and Alfia had each slain one of the great three monsters—Behemoth and Leviathan.
Their achievements should've placed them among the greatest of heroes.
But the world remembered them as criminals.
"…Is Lion not here?" Alise asked after scanning the area.
[Gale] Ryuu Lion.
Raven shook his head. "She's still alive. My Summoning Magic only works on those who have died."
"I didn't bring you back for some evil plan."
"I know what each of you stand for—you wouldn't serve darkness."
"Then… why are we working with the Witch?" asked Asta, frowning.
A fair question.
In fact—
The moment Raven summoned Alfia, he essentially became invincible.
The mission granted by the system was clear: Defeat the Black Dragon.
But Raven wasn't rushing.
He had come to this world with power—and with freedom.
And now that he had them—
He wanted to build something lasting.
"Let's become stronger together," Raven said, eyes burning with conviction.
"I'm only Level 2 right now—lower than any of you."
"But I'll catch up."
"And then, I'll lead you all—to slay the Black Dragon!"
That dragon was the one that Alfia had sworn to kill, even at the cost of her life.
But before they could walk that path—
They needed unity.
Raven's gaze turned cold, serious.
"…And just so we're clear—everything you have now, was granted by me."
"I brought you back to life. I can also send you back."
That wasn't a threat. It was a reminder of reality.
Raven didn't want them chasing ghosts of the past—resuming their role as justice-enforcers in Orario.
Those days were gone.
The [Astraea Familia] had died as heroes.
Now, their new lives would be lived as his companions.
Currently, the [Ganesha Familia] held authority over city policing.
They had eleven Level 5 adventurers, all with strong Guild backing.
So—
Subjugating evil and upholding peace?
That was Ganesha's job now.
The Astraea Familia had a new purpose.
