With merely a single thought, it's power surged into him.
A bright light immediately engulfed both Leon and Ryuu. It even expanded outward, lighting up the valley in a dazzling display.
Ryuu, blinded by the brightness, instinctively closed her eyes.
But Leon remained calm, staring into the glowing Grail.
He focused on the information he had just read about Alise and her companions. He recalled their appearances, personalities, and the details he had just read in Ryuu's notes.
The light continued to condense, forming ten floating orbs that gradually took on human shapes.
Each figure was slightly different in height, each carrying the unique presence of those who had once been part of the Astraea Familia.
Leon knew that these were the resurrected souls of Alise and the others. Their bodies had begun forming under the Super Longinus' power.
He could feel the Sephiroth Graal working, its power traveling through time.
It was copying the body data of Alise and the others, and even their falna and inscribing them onto the newly forming bodies. It also captured their souls right at the moment of their death and transfered them to these new bodies.
It was as if they had died just a moment ago.
Leon watched in awe as the resurrection took place.
The Sephiroth Graal's power was truly magnificent—no wonder it required detailed information. This information acted as a key to locate the dead, allowing the Sephiroth Graal to precisely bring them back.
While the resurrection of so many people at once drained his magic power reserves, Leon was prepared. If he hadn't reached Level 4, resurrecting this many people at once would have been impossible.
As the figures continued to take shape, Leon's eyes grew sharp.
In a sudden burst of realization, he quickly turned around. Reaching into his system storage, he pulled out a set of robes and rushed over to Ryuu and started shaking her.
The startled Ryuu opened her eyes, squinting due to the dazzling light. At this moment, she saw the resurrected forms of Alise and the others.
Then, she noticed something—Leon had turned away from them.
Seeing this, she let out a quiet sigh of relief. However, a thought crossed her mind. She looked at Leon, then at the figures slowly taking their form in front of her.
Her face slightly flushed, and she quietly accepted the clothes from him.
"Sorry, I didn't expect the resurrection to be… ." Leon muttered.
Ryuu turned back and gently said, "It's fine. Their revival is more than enough. Thank you."
Ryuu quickly moved to clothe the newly formed bodies of her companions.
Neither of them realized that Alise and the others had already regained awareness.
Their souls had fully settled in their bodies, but due to the incomplete nature of their physical forms, they couldn't fully awaken.
But they could still hear everything and were fully aware of their surroundings. So, they had a complicated mood.
But despite the odd circumstances, there was no anger or resentment in their hearts. Instead, they felt gratitude towards Leon.
After all, he had brought them back to life. So, it was impossible for them to get angry at him for such a small matter.
Speaking of which, Leon had received a peculiar piece of information from from the Sephiroth Graal itself.
The people he resurrects will unconsciously have a deep sense of goodwill towards him.
Despite that, Leon did not take advantage of it. He had the integrity and courtesy that one should have.
While Alise and the others were in the midst of their resurrection, Leon made sure to sign a world contract with them to keep their revival a secret.
Soon, Ryuu finished covering each of them.
The moment Ryuu finished dressing them, the final traces of light faded from the valley.
The revival was complete.
Alise was the first one to open her eyes. She glanced at Leon, a gentle smile forming on her lips.
"Thank you." She softly said.
The others followed her lead, offering their thanks.
"Thank you, Elf-san."
None of them had expected to come back to life. They didn't even think it was possible. But now, before them stood a young elf who had achieved the impossible.
Naturakly, their hearts were full of gratitude towards him.
"You're welcome." Leon replied with soft smile.
Alise and the others just nodded without saying anything. But internally, they engraved this life-saving in their hearts. They would never forget this debt.
Then, all of them turned their eyes turned to Ryuu. At this moment, tears glistened in her eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment.
Without hesitation, Alise and the others gathered around her. Ryuu, overwhelmed with emotion, threw her arms around Alise.
"Alise… you're back!"
Alise wrapped her arms around Ryuu, tightly hugging her and said, "You've done well, Ryuu. Thank you for everything."
Ryuu's tears flowed freely like a flood, her sobs echoing through the valley.
Leon simply sat on top of a rock, quietly watching the reunion of the Astraea Familia in silence.
After about ten minutes, Ryuu finally began to calm down. She and her friends settled near the stone where Leon was sitting on
"Ryuu, introduce us," Alise glanced at Ryuu and said, her eyes turning towards the elf who had saved them.
The others did the same.
Since Leon had resurrected them, they naturally harboured good feelings for him and were curious about him.
Ryuu nodded and began to explain the events of the past few years, the development of Orario, and about Leon.
"I can't believe it's already been five years since that day…" Alise murmured, her voice thick with emotion.
"Leon, you're truly remarkable." Lyra said, her eyes wide with admiration. Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
As for Finn, she had long forgotten him from the moment of her resurrection.
"Yeah, you really are something else, like a monster." Kaguya agreed.
The others also spoke one after another, sighing, praising and so on.
"Thank you for the compliments,"
Leon said calmly, "Ryuu has already informed you but I'll repeat once again. Keep all this a secret. You will set out to find your Goddess Astraea, and then return to Orario together."
Alise nodded and said, "Well, don't worry. We will never leak your affairs. However, the Astraea Familia and the Lucifer Familia will have a close relationship and the gods might suspect something. We can't do anything about that."
Leon replied indifferently with a smile, "As long as you don't say anything, it's fine. Even if the gods have some doubts, it doesn't matter. Besides, I'm not afraid of the gods."
"That's good. Well then, we'll set off soon. See you in a month." Alise said with clear determination.
"Okay, safe travels." Leon nodded, watching them as they prepared to leave.
