The four girls continued their journey through the Deep Trench and weren't attacked anymore, but soon, a dim glow was seen in the distance, causing Demetra, Kassandra, and Teuila to stop swimming.

"I will go check it out," Teuila commented while glancing around. "I'm much smaller than the both of you, and most monsters won't see me."'

Demetra and Kassandra nodded while Hemera spoke, with a hint of worry in her voice, "Be careful out there, Teu. Monsters are hiding in the shadows."

"I know, and I will, Hem," Teuila replied, smiling as she took off through the water like a rocket.

As she approached the light beyond a rock field that could hide anything, something caught Teuila's eye. 'What is that?'

A blur could be seen swimming through the Rockfield while maneuvering around the house- sized rocks. The area was dark and forbidding, and a chill crept into her body. When Teuila saw this, she thought, 'It reminds me of the horror movies Archer told us about.'

When thinking that, a shiver ran down her spine as she felt like

Teuila squinted and spotted a large form closing in on her, only to realize it was a Deathgale Shark that Demetra had told them about. It was dark red with black eyes. When she spotted the shark closing in, she swiftly aimed her hand and unleashed a Deep Sea Blast, precisely striking the creature's head.

Thanks to her attack, the others behind it smelt the blood and started eating their fellow shark, causing her to giggle. She continued swimming and saw a crystal sitting atop a deep ravine.

Teuila stopped at the edge and looked down only to see pure darkness, worse than they were already in. That's when she spotted something swimming through it, and it was massive.

When Teuila saw the monster, her skin crawled, and she rushed back to the three girls waiting. While swimming through the rock field, something lunged from behind one of them, causing her to fire a Deep Sea Blast quickly to move quickly enough to dodge the attack.

After that, she spun around and fired another spell into the attacker, and another shark appeared, but the magic annihilated it without any issues. More emerged from the darkness, forcing Teuila to battle with them while dodging the attacks.

It took Teuila a while to deal with the Deathgale Sharks, but they beat them before swimming back to the waiting girls. When Kassandra noticed her approach, she asked, "What happened, Teu? I can smell blood in the water."

"Ran into Deathgale Shark but then found a ravine that something was swimming around, which made me feel funny," Teuila explained.

Hemera looked concerned, thinking, 'Can we fight it if it made Teuila feel funny.'

Teuila landed next to the sun elf as Demetra and Kassandra spoke to each other. The blue- haired girl put an arm around her shoulders, "Don't worry so much, Hemi. We can do it, especially with these two," she expressed while motioning to the two Titans.

The sun elf nodded as she replied, "I shouldn't worry so much, but I'm not used to being in the water. I'm out of my comfort zone, but Demetra has greatly helped."

"Absolutely. We're in this together as we journey to rescue our husband," Teuila remarked warmly. "He'd venture into the underworld for any of us, so it's only fair we do the same for him. Chin up, Hemi. You're strong and capable."

Hemera nodded, her smile growing firmer as her determination blazed within her. Teuila noticed her eyes glowed, causing her to celebrate while hugging the sun elf, "See! That's the best friend I know! We will beat this monster, then head for the desert."

After that, Demetra and Kassandra were done speaking. The Kraken girl informed them, "Dem and I will directly attack the Ghost Leviathan while you two use your magic to bombard it."

When they heard this, Hemera grew nervous, and it showed, causing Demetra to cast a spell while speaking, "My magic will allow you to move like Teuila through the water, but be careful because it uses your mana."

Teuila and Hemera giggled before the sun elf revealed, "Well, thanks to husband, our mana pools have tripled in size over the last few months."

Kassandra also said the same thing, leaving Demetra feeling jealous, but the three girls comforted her and reassured her that Archer hadn't forgotten about her. It's just things have been hectic.

[Hecate, Maeve, Nefertiti and Talila's POV]

After the battle, Nefertiti rose to her feet and leaned against a tree while breathing heavily as the mana potion helped her recover. As she stood there, the Dragon Marines appeared, but it looked like they were bruised and battered.

She quickly noticed that one hundred were missing, which caused her to sigh. Nefertiti noticed the commanders approaching and bowed as a tall man spoke, "My Queen. The monsters have been wiped out, but Wild Humans attacked us."

Nefertiti nodded, "Head back to the beach and secure our way out, and I feel that they will continue to attack."

The commander agreed, "I will leave two hundred of my best soldiers to aid you in your journey."

"Thank you. I will check on the others, but make sure you're careful when you're on the way back," Nefertiti ordered.

Following that, the soldiers left her with the two hundred who saluted her. Nefertiti smiled in reply before going to check on Hecate and Maeve. It took her a few minutes to reach the orange-haired girl sitting up, shaking her head.

Nefertiti noticed the health potion in her hands and approached her. Maeve looked up as a smile appeared, "Nefi! Is that monster dead? I've managed to heal myself, but the aches

remain."

"Yes, Maeve," the succubus replied while holding her hand, which Maeve took.

After that, they approached the area Hecate flew into and found Talila guarding her aunt. The moon elf was meditating, and Nefertiti sensed the injuries were gone, but her pain was still

there.

When Talila spotted Nefertiti and Maeve, she jumped up, saying, "Aunt Hecate was fine. She used her Moon Healing to repair the damage and now is mediating to recover quicker." Nefertiti nodded before turning to the soldiers, "Surround us and make sure nothing gets past you."

All the Dragon Marines saluted before encircling them with their shields and swords, allowing the four girls to relax. Maeve sat on a nearby rock while Nefertiti pulled a chair from her storage ring, making everyone giggle.

That's when Hecate's red eyes snapped open, "We have visitors. They're watching us from the forest," she quickly revealed.

"What are they? Monsters or cannibals?" Nefertiti questioned while gazing into the trees surrounding them.

While waiting for her answer, Talila climbed to the branches above and started shooting mana arrows into the brush as she spoke, "Wild Humans! They surround us."

Nefertiti didn't panic but alerted the soldiers, "Marines! We're in the middle of an ambush. Hold the line while we slim down the numbers."

They saluted in response and closed ranks around the girls by connecting their shields while preparing for the attack. Once they were in position, Talila continued to shoot her mana arrows while Hecate and Nefertiti readied their spells.

In the meantime, Maeve approached the shield wall and jumped out, taking out her sword and embuing it with her thunder magic. The blade came to life as she was waiting for the attack.

Seconds later, a piercing scream rang around them as Wild Human rushed out of the bushes. When Maeve saw this, she quickly reacted by slicing at a group of enemies cut in half by a dangerous blade of thunder that flew out of her sword.

Following this, she dodged the crude weapons while counter-attacking with her attacks, decimating the Wild Humans. Thanks to Maeve, the pressure on the Marines was eased, allowing them to launch their attacks.

While she fought with them, Talila continued peppering them with mana arrows that exploded on impact, sending several Wild Humans flying into the forest. The silver-haired elf kept the enemies trying to jump over the shield wall.

Nefertiti and Hecate were casting spells that wiped out larger numbers of enemies, causing the Wild Humans to falter in their attack, but that's when the succubus shouted, "Soldiers of Draconia! Wipe out these fiends that are stopping us from healing our husband and the king! Show them what your blades can do!"

When the Dragon Marines heard this, something clicked in their brains, and suddenly, one of them took out a horn and blew into it. The noise rang out of the battlefield, causing the soldiers to charge into the enemy's ranks.

Sword, spear, and war hammers crushed Wild Humans left and right as the girls continued their attacks. Soon enough, the enemies fled into the forest after suffering hundreds of losses.

Once the battle was over, the girls started to sit down and relax for a little while before continuing. While trekking through the forest, Nefertiti cast a scouting spell, creating two pink eagles that took off into the sky.

She ordered them to find the Nevander Tree. They agreed with a screech before taking off. Just after doing that, Maeve, Talila, and Hecate watched her with confused expressions. Nefertiti giggled, "Do you think I only read for fun? I've been learning some useful spells just

like the scouting it."

Afterward, the group pressed on through the dense forest, delving deeper as the thick canopy obscured the sunlight above. Despite repeated ambushes by the Wild Humans, the girls' formidable firepower prevailed, ensuring their victory at every encounter.
