Several days later.
In a plaza of the Illusion World's Mission Hall stood a teleportation array connected to the Abyss World.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
At that moment, figures emerged from the teleportation array from time to time amid flickering light. They were Illusion Race warriors who had completed their training in the Abyss World and returned.
Their faces were full of excitement, along with the joy of having survived a disaster.
"We're back. We finally made it back alive."
"Exactly. I dare say this was the most dangerous trial in history."
"Yeah. Who would've thought we'd run into an ancient demon? We nearly got killed by it."
"Right, right. We were only a hair's breadth away. If that ancient demon had noticed us, we'd have died."
Everyone felt immensely fortunate. Their luck had truly been extraordinary—just a tiny bit worse, and they would have been wiped out to the last man, with no one returning alive.

"Exactly. Before we left, I saw Keli and the others surrounding Bati, looking like they wanted to kill him and silence him. Don't tell me Bati wiped them out?"
"Impossible. No matter how strong Bati is, he couldn't possibly wipe out Keli
