At the entrance to Toxic Valley, Nidhogg Basil, a Crystallization-stage wizard, led five Vaporization-stage wizards from the Basil Family to the entrance of the Wizard Secret Realm.
The ordinary First-Ring wizard from the Plutarch Family guarding the entrance hurriedly bowed to the six of them.

"Are you entering Toxic Valley as well?"
Nidhogg Basil smiled. The Basil Family's emblem was a spider, and the family's mainstream bloodline was the Demon Spider Bloodline. Nidhogg Basil was the greatest member of the hard-line faction within the Basil Family.
