At that moment, the door to the room swung open. Selene immediately appeared beside Crystalia's bed. "Will she truly be alright?" she asked, her trembling gaze roaming over Crystalia's unconscious figure.
Upon hearing Aerialia's words, Greta bit her lips before nodding, "Yes. I'm sure," she responded.

He embraced her firmly, his left hand rubbing soothing circles on her back to calm her emotions and help her ease them.
Greta stood up silently and left the room, intending to inform the rest of the household about what had transpired. Although Orion, Crystalia, and Selene had spent time together on the last day of Crystalia's request as planned, it wasn't how they had imagined.

However, their movements halted abruptly as they noticed Orion and his entourage landing.
Stunned by the sight, they rushed forward to greet them, the children's excitement dwindled as they recognized the high-ranking individuals.

"Supreme Leader, what have I done to be graced with such an esteemed visit?" Patriarch Rylan asked, his voice momentarily faltering as his gaze briefly rested on the Crimson Greatsword hovering beside Orion.
Though Orion had graciously allowed him to continue addressing him as Chief, Patriarch Rylan dared not maintain such informality in the presence of Paradise's four Key Leaders. Two of them were the strongest beings he'd ever known, their power unmatched.

The fourth woman was a renowned healer, famous for her ability to effortlessly heal and regrow limbs, organs, and other body parts. Standing beside her was another top healer whose proficiency in various professions could shame anyone who had spent their life studying just one. The abilities of these women were so extraordinary that even the gods' chosens had praised them, surpassing what any conventional healing technique could achieve.
And presently, all four of these individuals were gathered in his compound.

Are they here because of what happened yesterday? Patriarch Rylan wondered anxiously.
If he had known that the woman accompanying Orion yesterday could sever his connection with Stoneback and harm him, he would have chosen his words far more carefully before responding to Orion's request.

"There's no need to be so tense, Patriarch Rylan. I hope you can forgive us for barging into your home without notice. We had to come immediately and couldn't inform you in advance," Orion said reassuringly.
The tension in the air was perceptible, but he wanted to ensure their arrival didn't create the wrong impression.

Isadora and the others released their breaths in relief, glad they weren't facing any
immediate issues.
"We won't be staying long. We just need to summon another spirit beast, but this time, one you're willing to part with," Orion said, shaking his head.

"Supreme Leader, this... is a delicate matter," Patriarch Rylan stammered. Every spirit beast he contracted had been acquired through great effort, making the idea of a 'disposable' spirit beast unthinkable.
"I'll grant you generous contribution points for yesterday's matter and today's request. With those points, you can acquire any artefact from common to pseudo-legendary-or even techniques from the guilds. I'll leave it in Isadora's hands since you might not be familiar with the process," Orion offered, clarifying his intentions.

Patriarch Rylan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. If he had the chance to showcase his abilities before such an eager crowd, wouldn't he have seized it already?
