Reaching the Abyss did not mean this journey had reached its end. Charles's true destination was still the plane where Yvenjieling was.
But to reach that plane, several major technical challenges remained.
One was that Yvenjieling needed to find suitable resources to sustain the ritual energy required to summon Charles's true body over.

But there was one good thing about the Abyss: certain resources were relatively abundant here.
These resources referred to nothing else but demon resources.
The materials required for the ritual could all be obtained by hunting demons, whether for direct use or trade.
After resting briefly for several days, Charles prepared to leave the cave and hunt some demons.
Delis drew Charles a map of the surrounding terrain.
But the map was not particularly useful. For one thing, Delis rarely left home, so the terrain she knew was limited to the nearby area.
As for places farther away, she had long since lost track of their specific conditions.

So when Charles encountered other
