  • In the beginning of the spin-off, Loki Familia finds themselves fighting an unknown and dangerous breed of monster, capable of melting weapons and overall, being difficult to beat. Swarms of them were even able to beat a powerful dragon monster, and these things attack even other monsters.
  • The first member of the group behind the monster attacks to be introduced is a high-levelled adventurer capable of killing Level 4 adventurers quickly and easily. She's also a tamer that can control the monsters that gave Loki familia so much trouble. And to top it all of, she's wearing the face of her victim just to disguise herself.
  • Loki Familia reaches the 59th floor, and are shocked by what they find. A monster that was once a Spirit, and the new breed of monsters they were dealing with were parts of it sent out to gather magic stones and make it more powerful. And in just two spells cast by the monster, Loki Familia suffered almost total defeat. Only a combination of Finn's top-class leadership capabilities, inspiration from witnessing Bell's fight with the Minotaur, and the fact that a lot of the people present were first class adventurers allowed them to come out of that battle alive.
  • Tione and Tiona's Backstory. They were born into Kali Familia and were given Falna on their day of birth. They were then subject to Kali's program of Blood Knight-conditioning, which involves frequent duels...among their kin. As toddlers. One thing about how scary this can get: both of them got their first Character Level at the age of five. By killing one of their roommates each.
  • In volume 12, Filvis ripped open her chest to show Lefiya her magic stone, asking her that seeing her like this, would Lefiya still think her beautiful?
  • Another one is when Filvis revealed that she’s stronger than Revis, the most powerful antagonist audience had seen in the series, then decimated the whole team in a blink of an eye, beating a lv.6 like it was child’ play. Absolutely horrifying.
  • Filvis whole backstory reveal in SO volume 12. She first witness the death of her familia’s captain, died herself, then got brought back to life by some weird spirits. She can’t even kill herself to end the pain.
    • And those adventurers that got killed teaming up with her? She killed them herself under Eyno’s order.
      • And then there’s Filvis’ little speech when struggling to think of a way to deal with Lefiya, at one point she was delighted by the thought of corrupting the younger Elf, wanting to see the once innocent girl fall into despair like she did.
