Capítulo 60: Chapter 60: Rescue
"Since the expedition team is back, we'll have a nice dinner at Hostess of Fertility tonight! Attendance is mandatory—no skipping out!"
"I wouldn't miss it. Hopefully, I'll find someone there who's up for a good fight!"
"There will be no fighting at the party! Can you think about something else for once? Like leveling up!" Sol sighed in exasperation.
Since arriving in this world, Sett had been consumed with nothing but fighting and seeking danger. Enjoying life? Not his style at all.
Riveria eyed Sett warily, thinking, 'Another problem child.'
"Maybe we should introduce him to Veronica," she muttered. "Two battle fanatics might actually get along."
If all else failed, maybe Kled could spar with him a few times. However, unbeknownst to her, there was another, even bigger troublemaker in their midst.
"Are there others in this group who aren't exactly friendly?"
"Oh, you could call them bitter enemies," Sol replied with a faint smirk.
The two returned to the living room, where Sol continued introducing the newcomers to Riveria. The more she listened, the more of a headache she got. Conflicts stemming from ideals and backgrounds were always the hardest to mediate.
These weren't mere disagreements between friends. Some rivalries ran deep, even deadly.
Summoning the yordles had been simple enough—those lively creatures were usually friendly. But Ionia was different. With its free-thinking culture and diverse approaches to war, it had produced numerous factions within a single nation.
For example, the Balance Order and the Shadow Clan held an eternal enmity. Among the people Sol had summoned, Akali and Zed were the worst of rivals, constantly on the verge of conflict. To manage this, Sol had no choice but to keep them separated as much as possible.
Meanwhile, he was trying to devise a new Familia structure to accommodate these incompatible heroes, hoping to someday summon a god from Valoran who could grant blessings to ordinary adventurers.
If only that pesky parallel consciousness didn't prevent him from summoning a god. For now, he'd have to settle for keeping a distance between feuding members. Thankfully, the Familia's territory had expanded, so he could spread everyone out more.
In the future, Sol hoped to create a Familia alliance led by himself, placing heroes with rivalries into different Familia groups. His grand vision involved establishing multiple Familia branches, each built around heroes from various regions and supplemented by local adventurers for support.
It was an ambitious dream—maybe someday he could bring it to life.
Aware of his own clashes with Akali and the aggressive presence of Kennen in the Familia, Zed had tactfully chosen a residence outside the Familia's main territory. Sol had helped him select a place conveniently close to Aina's home so he could protect both her and Eina.
As evening fell, Sol kept his promise and took everyone to Hostess of Fertility for a grand feast.
At the party, Riveria finally saw Eina, who had recently become an adventurer. Contrary to Sol's expectations, she took the news calmly. Riveria had visited Aina and Eina often since the child's birth, so she was already familiar with Aina's intentions.
For Sol, this calm acceptance was a relief—it saved him from what could've been a complicated situation.
As he looked around the table, filled with his Familia members, he realized how much the group had grown. In just half a year, the Familia had nearly doubled in size. Of course, the divine power from hunting 'Evil Gods' had played a significant role in enabling him to summon so many skilled individuals.
These new members still needed training, but their potential was clear. Sol had no doubts—his Familia would become Orario's strongest.

The next day
Following a recent operation, the guild had executed the remaining captives from the dark faction, securing Orario's peace. If the previous crusade against Erebus had merely picked the fruit, this time, they had uprooted it. Only a few insignificant remnants were left.
Many of Orario's hidden corners no longer sheltered dark faction members. It seemed that they had vanished from the city entirely. Yet no one knew where they had gone or if they were plotting in secret. The guild investigated but found no trace, eventually abandoning the search.
Believing the dark faction had fled Orario, the guild's adventurers began to relax. But the dark faction members had other plans. They weren't ready to abandon Orario so easily.
However, their numbers had been shattered, and organizing a decent attack would be difficult without skilled adventurers. Their current power gap was insurmountable.
Deep within a hidden dungeon, members of the last organized dark faction group, the Rudra Familia, gathered. They had managed to bring together some of the dark faction's scattered remnants, though they were of little consequence—foes Finn wouldn't even bother capturing.
Rudra once again granted them grace.
And they gathered here, plotting their next act of terror.
