Surrounding the Abyss of Death were four massive marshes. These marshes were not directly connected, as there were peculiar forces isolating each one from the others. Anyone wishing to enter the Abyss of Death had to pass through one of these marshes.
Within the marshes, there were narrow paths that allowed a small team to advance. However, these paths were laden with numerous traps. Elder Lawrence and Sophia chose the marsh closest to them, eager to reach the Abyss of Death as quickly as possible.
Yet, within this marsh, the Night Blades had established a secret base. The members of the Night Blades had already learned of Elder Howard's death at the hands of Elder Lawrence, and they were fully prepared for a fight. Additionally, they had stockpiled a variety of powerful weapons in their secret base. Even if their strength was significantly inferior to that of Elder Lawrence and Sophia, they could still mount a resistance, aided by their formidable armaments.
