On the road, Miel recounted to her companions and seniors everything that had happened since they fell into the Abyss.

"Ah, so that's what happened." The girls nodded one after another, marveling at their astonishing but unscary Abyss adventure.

"Ah, so that's what happened." Nora and Medea looked at Mia, confirming Miel had not lied—these two little girls indeed had not engaged in any illicit escapes during their time alone with the Squad Leader.

Otherwise, with Mia's dishwater personality, any hint of embarrassment would've immediately revealed itself in her shallow thoughts.

"Speaking of which, just how did you all manage to find this place?" Aske suddenly asked.

The Abyss is so vast, and without Miel's walkthrough guide by your side, it's not like you just happened to stumble upon us, right?

"Ah, it's like this," Thira explained, "Medea's mother met a member of her race in a tavern..."

"…and then deliberately goaded the other into a bet by taunting them..."

"…so they sent several demigods to look for you..."

"…we noticed something off about one of the demigods, so we quietly followed him..."

"…Indeed, he must have found you and immediately left the town on his own."

"Yes," Aske also felt somewhat emotional, "I was wondering why that guy was carrying a potential malice, as if ready to strike at us any moment."

"Ah, that demigod had malice towards us?" Mia, slow on the uptake, exclaimed in surprise.

"There's nothing you can do about it," Medea commented from the side, "After all, it was a challenge by provocation."

"So the tavern owner even said, let's just go find your bodies, haha," Sigrdrifa added helpfully.

Miel: ......

Aske: ......

So it turns out you guys were the ones who offended this enemy.

"What of it?" Agrippina said coldly from the side, "Since they chose to be our enemies, just kill them on the spot if we encounter them again."

"Hahahaha, Her Excellency Belladonna's personality really hasn't changed over the years." Red-haired Otto said with a laugh.

"Compared to the 'great achievements' Lord Otto was known for back in the day, it's nothing," Agrippina snickered coldly.

"Back then I was a knight anointed by Your Majesty," Otto explained amiably, "Defending the king's honor is naturally my unshirkable duty."

"Eh, Miel." While watching the demigods casually chat among themselves, Mia whispered to Miel, "Do you notice..."

"Notice what?" Miel was puzzled.

"Don't you think… the personalities of these demigod seniors feel vaguely familiar?" Mia said curiously.

Vaguely familiar? Miel observed carefully and indeed it was so.

Agrippina was essentially Peggy's evil version, cold, cruel, and completely without mercy, almost entirely unbound by any moral constraints.

Fortunately, Peggy was still obedient and gentle in Aske's presence. Without Aske, she probably would have become just like Agrippina. So, was it the bloodline of the "Lord of Filth" that affected the Transcendent's own temperament?

Red-haired Otto, whose own character was gentle, mature, and measured in his speech, epitomized the chivalric and noble demeanor of a knight, and could be regarded as a mature version of Eleanor. Or rather, if Eleanor were to become a demigod and live for three or four hundred years, she would probably be similar to Otto.

There's no need to mention the Enchanting Demon Queen and Marquina, who were virtually carved from the same mold as Medea. It seems that most Enchanting Demons are like that, cunning, insidious, and reveling in the process of weaving conspiracies and calculations. Actually, there's no need for such a thing as reverse psychology...

Apilius, a Great Noble of the East Solomon Empire, was even more stiff and reserved compared to Red-haired Otto, rarely speaking or smiling, which was just like comparing Thira with Eleanor. Thinking about it, Thira was also quite a stubborn and earnest character; she and her granddaughter were indeed cut from the same cloth.

As for Derek and Sherry, Miel felt that they weren't much like her. After all, people like Eleanor, Thira, and Medea all had familial connections with their predecessor demigods and similar environments for their upbringing, which is why there were commonalities in their character.

Peggy and Agrippina could be explained by bloodline influence. The two demigods knew Miel through Rasul and thus seemed to have no similarities.

Right! There was also that Lady Maya whom she hadn't met. According to Sherry, she was also a half-elf and was now building her influence in the Iberian Peninsula. Considering they both have Elf bloodlines, could they be similar? At least their hair and eye colors should be the same.

While Miel was daydreaming in such a bewildered fashion, she turned the corner at the head of the group and saw three people suddenly emerge from behind a hill ahead.

Including Glache whom they had encountered before, all three were transcendent beings of Demigod Rank.

"Look, I told you they hadn't managed to escape!" Glache, upon seeing the half-elf girl with pink hair, immediately pointed at her and cried out in delight.

"Indeed!" The other two demigods also showed surprise. This girl, who had not yet crossed the threshold of demigodhood, had managed to come this far from the Big Cave at the Abyss Lower Level, alive despite being hunted by two Alien Race demigods. She must possess some significant special abilities.

On the other hand, Glache had been forced to flee by these very people before. Wasn't it because he had underestimated them?

With this thought in mind, the three demigods readied themselves for a serious confrontation.

This time, at any cost, they had to take back their opponents' dead bodies!

"You guys..." Miel looked somewhat speechlessly at the ferociously advancing crowd and sighed, "So you're not planning to keep up the disguise this time?"

Glache didn't respond but simply took out a scroll and ripped it open cleanly.

A Spatial Anchor scroll, sealed within was a low spatial potential point that could disrupt any teleportation nearby, forcing the destination coordinates of the teleportation to be pinned to this spot.

Having learned from the previous battle that the opponents could teleport swiftly at will, without even needing to go through the basic motions of casting or the manipulation of spirituality, Glache certainly wasn't going to give them another chance to escape.

Miel:......

With her intuition detecting changes in the space around her, she guessed that they were using some ability to interfere with Space Teleportation, and she spoke with slight resignation:

"By doing this, aren't you just courting death?"

No sooner had her words fallen than other members of her team also emerged from around the corner behind her.

"That's why I said, that the bar owner lady never meant to seek you out in the first place. We merely played some little tricks," Marquina said with a laugh behind her hand, looking at Aske, "And even if those three demigods harbored hostility towards you because of it, in the end, you weren't harmed, right...?"

"Instead, some people have delivered themselves to our doorstep," Agrippina said, looking toward the three demigod customers in front of her, causing their faces to instantly pale.

This is bad, run! Wait, didn't they use a Spatial Anchor just now?
