"A decisive battle?"

"That's hardly reassuring news!"

Somber expressions filled the room. No one felt optimistic about the impending confrontation.

"Shakti, for the foreseeable future, maintaining order in Orario will fall upon your shoulders."

"Why? What's happening?!" Shakti asked urgently, startled by Finn's words.

"Don't worry, we're simply shifting the battlefield outside of Orario," Finn explained seriously. "I don't believe the dark faction relocated outside the city just to evade us. In my opinion, it's a strategic move."

"They're likely plotting something outside Orario. Therefore, the Loki and Freya Familias will focus our efforts beyond the city walls."

"As for within Orario, we must entrust that responsibility to you."

"Understood!" Shakti nodded resolutely, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.

While this was her usual duty, they no longer had the Loki and Freya Familias to rely on for support.

"Don't worry, we're here for you!"

Seeing Shakti's increasingly worried expression, Mika placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Relax. Both the Yahweh Familia and the girls of the Astraea Familia will stand by your side."

"Yes!" Shakti nodded gratefully, touched by his words.

"Hey, hey, while we can't provide the same level of support as before, we're not completely abandoning Orario!"

"Whether we like it or not, the Guild wouldn't allow every Level 6 adventurer to leave the city."

"So, Riveria will remain in Orario, and Allen will stay behind from the Freya Familia."

"While they won't participate in your everyday operations, they will undoubtedly join forces with you in times of crisis."

"I see!" Shakti breathed a sigh of relief.

Riveria and Allen, the vice-captains of the Loki and Freya Familias, staying behind to protect the city was a reasonable arrangement.

"That's good!"

"It seems Shakti is under a lot of pressure," Mika chuckled.

"Well, it is a bit overwhelming," Shakti admitted, wiping a bead of sweat from her brow.

"Hahaha!" Mika, Finn, and Gareth burst into laughter.

It was rare to see the usually stoic Shakti display such vulnerability.

"What are you laughing about?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Mika turned around with a smile. "Weren't you with Riveria, Mellie?"

As soon as Mika mentioned Riveria, Merlin quickly joined the group.

"Look behind me!" Mellie said mysteriously.

Intrigued, Mika, Finn, Gareth, and Shakti turned to look behind Mellie.

Their gazes met with a pair of intense, focused eyes.

"It's the Sword Princess!" Shakti exclaimed.

Unlike Shakti, Finn and Gareth stiffened upon meeting Ais's gaze.
