There were a fourteen Abyssals patrolling the perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the patrollers spotted them, but before he could make a sound, Olivia pointed her finger at him and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scchh\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An earth spike shot from under him and pierced through his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Abyssals on patrol were alerted by the sound and were about to turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaa\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could, the earth spikes under them reaped their lives. Olivia's earth powers proved themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies slowly collapsed, but they didn't crash onto the ground but smoothly landed with minimal sound. Crimson's telekinetic power was handy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A water film covered the area of patrollers, ensuring the sound inside didn't go out. Sarah's water powers were versatile. `\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this was done in a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hiss!' Varian sucked in a cold breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seamless cooperation between them and their individual strength showed him how high and higher he could go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only Level 5s and 6s were this strong, how strong would a Level 9 be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How strong would the Sovereign be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah signalled to them, and the next second, everyone except Varian and Ivy disappeared into the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy said, \"Captain said they'll check out the hideout. I'll stay out to keep watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian nodded. He knew she was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed out to protect him. But she didn't reveal it. Perhaps she was trying not to make it sound like he was a burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Mr. Seth...you know some nice people.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept the gratitude in his heart and observed the Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only Level 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" He was confused for a moment before clapping in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Ivy tilted her head and looked at him in curiosity, her twin tails bouncing with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I entered the Dungeon 3 weeks ago. Then I encountered Abyssals. They were all Level 2.\" Varian explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think the majority of hideouts will have only weaker Abyssals. The ones that tried to assassinate you guys, they must have come here only for the task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy thought for a moment. \"But it'll be different for CTF.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian nodded. \"Maybe you can expect a Level 6 guarding it. Level 7 is too rare for that, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know how common they were. Ivy did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked amused at his question and said. \"Varian, a Level 7 Abyssal is either a new Abyss Prince or Princess. They're only below veteran princes, Abyss Archdukes and Abyss King. They're only a few dozen of them for each Abyss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth had many low level Dungeons. Even if only one per Dungeon, Demon Abyss simply wouldn't have enough Abyss Princes and princesses to send out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, how could a Prince be assigned to guard a low level dungeon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and Ivy waited, even though it was barely a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Advance to Level 3 and, if possible, Level 4 by the end of the year.\" Ivy suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at her in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charles will graduate in a year. Captain and we will be in our final year.\" She explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain...is in Level 6 currently. But she hasn't reached the peak of the level yet. Once she does, she is set for the throne.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, like they said, unless you find ambrosia, you can't take the throne in your first two years. But...you can do it in your third year.\" She gave him a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Varian nodded awkwardly, a bit new to this 'encouragement'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tiptoed and patted his shoulder. \"Work hard, junior. I'll be watching you after I graduate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy somehow reminded him of Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But Sia would say... I believe you can do it this year, right?' He wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cleared.\" Sarah and others appeared in front of them in the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivy, are you really the one encouraging?\" Crimson looked at her with a surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-shut up!\" Ivy yelled at him. Her face was flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you find?\" Varian asked, ignoring the banter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering him, Sarah snapped her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building collapsed as each of the walls unfolded like a blooming flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian went ahead and observed the so called hide out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the low fortifications, there were around twenty Abyssal corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One peak level 2, rest are all level normal 2.' He concluded and observed the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found nothing of interest except for a cuboidal device. It was similar to 'TV' of old earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, its screen was broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah appeared beside him and pointed to the cuboidal device. \"This is for communication. They'll know their targets and act accordingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense. The prime objective of the hideouts was to assassinate geniuses. For a low dungeon, level 2s were good enough assassins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bracelet appeared in Sarah's hand. \"The leader tried to inform with this at the final moment, but I cut him off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything about the headquarters?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head. \"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she added, \"I have to conclude one thing about hideouts. One more test will do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few minutes, the second hideout was cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at the collapsed building and sighed. The Deja vu hit him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It too had only Level 2 Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason they took several minutes was to search the entire building. As expected, they found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we interrupted the heads of hideouts from sending final message, the headquarters might not know about our actions yet.\" Sarah said to the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When they tried to send the final message, these Abyssals looked like they wanted revenge. That also confirms the headquarters exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, if every hideout was like this one, then no revenge was possible. So there must be a stronger hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though we covered it up till now, we don't know when the headquarters will be alerted. We haven't found its traces either. So our plan is—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed to the map. \"Take down as many hideouts as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hideouts were marked off. But that was only a drop in the bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy gave everyone a few bracelets. Unlike the rings, these bracelets could be activated by them and they'd be able to enter the hideouts with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivy, Luca, you take this part.\" Sarah allocated them a section of the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Olivia, you... and Crimson, cover this area.\" She finished and pointed to the final section. \"I'll take this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Everyone said. Except Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to hunt a hideout by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned to him in surprise. Obviously, they didn't expect him to say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah said. \"You're still only a Level 2. Take it easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Level 2s. I can manage. Besides, even if I can't win, I can always escape. I just want to do it alone.\" He insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment and nodded. \"Fine. You can pick a nearby hideout. I'll takeaway their bracelets and leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they'd not be able to send the emergency signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inform us if you're in trouble.\" Olivia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\" Varian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, he found himself in front of a hideout, alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah just left, taking away the bracelets. This provoked the Abyssals, and they rushed out of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Body path Level 2: 120\u002F200\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space Path Level 1: 100\u002F100}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then, how strong did I get?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","a41b1fd5c9c1539626d390a25495d968b901e5c67fd9d0537bb7b3bed77c3e95","divine-path-system-chapter-73","divine-path-system-chapter-421",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
