Frankly speaking, if you asked Glache the Demigod whether he would eventually find three living people or three corpses, he would certainly answer the latter.

Without crossing the threshold of Demigod, one cannot achieve Conceptualization, leaving the fragile body still vulnerable to all sorts of injuries in this world. Hacking, burning, suffocation, toxins, and illness... any lurking danger could easily kill a Transcendent.

And the Abyss, is probably one of the most dangerous places in the world.

For Transcendents who are not Demigods, it's not just about keeping their lives here; even whether their corpses can be preserved for 24 hours is questionable. You must know that the darkness of the Abyss contains many man-eating creatures.

Of course, as long as Glache could arrive on time, even if he only found a piece of debris, the Demigods naturally could find a way to identify the actual identities of the bones.

The real fear was in not finding even a piece of debris. Given the greed for Spirituality displayed by the creatures of the Abyss, this was probably the likely outcome... that's why the tavern owner Lena generously agreed to "write off the debt as long as they are found."

Originally, Glache was also holding onto the idea of "trying his luck," at least showing diligent attitude for the owner, which would make it easier to plead for credit in future dealings. However, he didn't expect to actually get a valid clue from the wily merchant among the cave dwellers.

What was even less expected, was that these people could actually survive through great adversity. Under the pursuit of two Demigods, they had managed to escape unscathed all the way from the lower Big Cave, through the Sea of Silence and Mushroom Forest, to the upper levels of the Abyss!

That was great...

Great my ass! The owner wanted us to bring back corpses!

As one could imagine, if Glache brought these people back alive to the tavern, causing tavern owner Lena to lose the bet, then forget about accruing debt, it would be good if she didn't force you to pay up with IOUs!

With these thoughts in mind, Glache naturally made the most self-serving decision.

As for any human comrades, any humanitarianism, they were non-existent. In the cruel world of the Abyss, only refined egoists could survive; both true gentlemen and true villains wouldn't last long.

Therefore, he showed a warm and enthusiastic smile, secretly extending his Spirituality, and said:

"You..."

"Since you were entrusted to protect us," Aske quickly interrupted him, "then hurry and lead us away!"

Glache was a bit stunned, thinking this fellow was quite on the right track. He originally planned to detach these people from the pursuing Demigods at the rear and then kill them in some secluded corner, wondering what excuse he should use to convince them, but the other party directly volunteered.

"That's right, I really should take you away!" Glache hurriedly said, pulling out a Teleportation Scroll from his side.

A Teleportation Scroll was considered a fundamental necessity unique to the three major planes, specially made by the Demigods of Black Hole Law. Written inside were specific spatial coordinates, and as long as it was unfolded and driven by Spirituality, it could pull out a black hole leading to the designated coordinates.

To solidify the Black Hole Law Skills into a scroll, both manufacturing and using required Spirituality above Lv.20, hence the Main Plane, which was affected by the fluctuation of the Magic Tide, seldom used Teleportation Scrolls, but the Demigods of the three major planes almost all had one.

Like a Travel Scroll for the Abyss, it could be purchased in bulk from the shops of Watch Town, with all coordinates targeted to Watch Town.

However, the scroll in Glache's hand was a "special edition" with modified coordinates, leading to a deserted area on the edge of the Mushroom Forest, an ideal place for murder.

The black hole rapidly expanded from a point in the air, emitting somewhat unsettling spatial fluctuations, like the tentacles of an Evil God.

Miel's intuition instinctively felt something wrong, and she cautiously glanced at Aske.

Aske, seemingly unaware, smiled and said to everyone:

"Then let's move quickly!"

Miel: ......

"Right, right, hurry up!" Kapei, oblivious to everything, was the first to step toward the Black Hole.

He had had enough of being teleported here and there by Mia, always anxious about whether they might be attacked by a Demigod.

Aske didn't stop him. His left hand still resting on the hilt of his sword, he seemed ready to unleash a Soul Shattering strike, cutting directly at the portal opposite them whose destination was unknown. At that moment, a ball of energy shot towards them, bursting into the Black Hole, and the Hole immediately collapsed.

"Who?!" Glache was taken aback. His spiritual power, already expanding, burst into a protective Domain around the four men, as if shielding them from outside attacks.

Of course, it also limited their movements.

"It's our pursuers!" Aske shouted, looking at the black fog and slender figures that had suddenly appeared behind them. "Your Excellency, hold them off while we go to Watch Town for reinforcements!"

With that, he drew his Longsword and cut a small opening in the center of the Domain. Mia took the opportunity to activate the Ripple Sword, teleporting the four of them through the unrestricted opening.

They had escaped.

Escaped.

Escaped…

Glache: ???!!!

Wait, how could they sever my Domain? Aren't they lacking a Demigod? How could they suppress the Domain!!!

And what about that spell-less teleportation?

However, before he could fully understand, two Demigods had already charged towards him with a fierce Killing Intent.

In the eyes of Gamoduo and Mularafak, this human Demigod was different from the Demigod who had blocked their path earlier. He had tried to use a portal to transport the target away, then, after Mularafak shattered the portal at the first chance, he immediately opened his Domain to protect the targets within it.

There was no doubt that this Demigod was an ally of the targets.

If the two Demigod bosses ignored him and continued to pursue the fleeing targets, this human Demigod would surely follow them, pestering them like a burr.

Rather than that, it would be better to take advantage of the numeric superiority now, two against one, and slaughter this human Demigod early…

Realizing the intense and undisguised Killing Intent from opposite him, Glache hurriedly raised his hands to explain:

"Wait! You've misunderstood. I actually share the same goal as you; I also intend to deal with those people…"

"Is that so? That's great!" Mularafak said with a sneer, "We can join forces to chase them down."

"Yes, yes!" Glache, relieved, agreed. "We can join forces!"

As each side harboring their own cunning intentions, they swiftly closed the distance between them.

The next second, they simultaneously struck!

Glache launched a full-force sneak attack, while Mularafak and Gamoduo went all out with a direct frontal assault, their colliding Domains sending shockwaves rampaging unchecked.

Seeing his sneak attack foiled, Glache quickly retreated, opening another unknown Law Skill. Mularafak swiftly launched an "Unknown Barrier" to interrupt the opposing Spiritual Output.

A cry of alarm came from the other side, and Glache's form had vanished into thin air.

"Hmph." Gamoduo emitted a cold, mocking snort, clearly implying, "You let him escape."

"These humans have quite a few tricks up their sleeves," Mularafak said calmly. "That took a bit longer than expected. Let's move on."
