It was truly a moment to witness a miracle!

The entire safe house was nearing a boiling point as the Great Mentor, whom Joseph and Kuren had been so worried about, appeared before them!

"Great Mentor!" Kuren's voice quivered slightly. He had only recently recovered from his mental trauma and was just beginning to regain a little strength. Although he could converse freely with everyone in the Outer World by accessing his Inner World, returning to physical reality was still strenuous for him. If he hadn't seen Master Guzan at that very moment, he absolutely wouldn't have been able to utter a sound.

The sheer astonishment this scene brought them was almost impossible to put into words. The Great Mentor they had longed to see had appeared before them so suddenly, leaving them utterly unprepared. This sudden appearance could indeed be described as a miracle. The space was abruptly filled with so many people. How could this have happened? Kuren and the others were completely bewildered, caught between joyous surprise and confusion, with no clue as to how this had occurred.

"What on earth is happening?!"

Take Kadi, for instance. He was bewildered, scratching his head constantly. The mysterious blue light ring was already magical enough, far beyond his comprehension. Now, with so many people emerging from it, his already muddled thoughts were thrown into even greater chaos.

"Don't worry, Kadi," Igor said, consoling Kadi, who looked utterly perplexed. "Your doubts, and everyone else's, will be cleared up eventually. Don't press them for now; they've all just been through an extraordinary journey."

"Well..." Kadi looked around. A total of six people had emerged from the light ring, but he only recognized four of them: Stan Sol, who had previously left a deep impression on him; Great Mentor Guzan, the leader of the Guru Mountain creatures, whom he had also met not long ago and was thus quite familiar with; and Yuga, another creature Kadi naturally recognized. The last person he recognized was somewhat unique. Kadi only knew him as Igor's friend, the one Stan Sol was searching for. His name is Hustace, I think? And he looks a bit strange right now…

There were two more people Kadi didn't recognize. One of them had only one arm, and it looked as if he had lost the other very recently—a horrific sight. The other person, compared to the rest, was dressed quite flamboyantly. He wore a purple cloak adorned with a Hexagram Symbol, and beneath it, the distinctive uniform of the Kayne Empire. Kadi didn't recognize these symbols, but he noted the man was well-dressed, clearly trying to look distinguished and stand out from the others.

All these newcomers looked extremely exhausted. Some were even coughing and gasping for breath occasionally, as if they had just undergone strenuous physical exertion. The various injuries and the dust caking their clothes further confirmed this. Anyone could tell from these details that they must have endured considerable hardship outside to end up in such a state.

Kadi could even see a look of dejection and an occasional flicker of fear on some of their faces. Kadi wasn't skilled in many areas, but he was adept at reading facial expressions—an expertise honed from years of rivalry with Kevin.

"Thank you, young man from the Sol Family, you've saved us," Master Guzan said in a heavy tone, every word imbued with sincerity.

"And... also... thank... Igor," Stan Sol panted, seemingly having exhausted all his strength.

Kadi looked from one to another, wanting to interject but not knowing what to say. These six newcomers, however, seemed oblivious to Kadi and the others, engrossed in their own conversation.

Joseph and Kuren were also somewhat baffled by the situation. They turned to the composed Igor, hoping to get some information, but Igor just shrugged, indicating he didn't know much more than they did either.

These six individuals were indeed the group they had encountered earlier, from before the White Swamp near Moonflow Stream. However, only some of them had made it to this Slumber Room. Master Guzan and Yuga were from Guru Mountain. The one-armed Estev was a Soul Guardian. Stan Sol was guarding Guru Mountain in place of Dastan. Brad from the Alchemy Workshop was here to find the Great Mentor. As for Hustace, his reasons for coming to Guru Mountain were rather complicated, much like his current condition—something that couldn't be explained in a few words.

Kadi naturally wanted to question each of them, but the six newcomers didn't seem to give him any opportunity.

As for Kuren and Joseph, their anxiety subsided upon seeing the Great Mentor. They knew he would undoubtedly make proper arrangements for them. Whatever the Great Mentor asked, they would do it without hesitation or question, for their faith in him had always been unconditional.

"Are you sure this place won't be found for a while?" Estev, having just entered the safe house and noticed something amiss, asked Master Guzan.

"Yes, but word of this place will eventually spread. This safe house can only offer us a temporary reprieve; it won't be long before we're discovered," Master Guzan replied, his view of reality ever clear.

"Hmph! What a disgrace!" Brad of the Alchemy Workshop slammed his fist on the ground. He was a man of few words; for him to be this visibly frustrated meant that what happened outside must have been serious.

"There are always mountains beyond mountains, and heavens beyond heavens. This is normal. The Alchemy Workshop cannot represent everything, Brad. You need to understand this," the Great Mentor counseled Brad. Though he looked exhausted, he continued to analyze the situation and guide those around him.

"That's right! The Alchemy Workshop doesn't represent anything. Ultimately, it's our Wizard Alliance that will have to sort things out for you," Hustace recklessly chimed in. Judging by his tone and words, his body was still possessed by someone else. Evidently, it was the Witch Spirit of Sage Bigas, strangely named Kuruto.

As they spoke, one after another, these newcomers completely ignored Kadi and Igor, who were also in the cave.

"Hold on!" Kadi, unable to hold back any longer, cried out, interrupting the newcomers' conversation. "Hey, while you're all busy talking, can one of you tell me how you even got in here?!"

Kadi's question was certainly unique, quite different from what the others were likely wondering. Kuren and the others were more eager to learn what had transpired outside, or what the Great Mentor and his group were discussing. Compared to these concerns, the question of how they had entered the safe house seemed far less important.

But for Kadi to interrupt them just for this question was certainly peculiar behavior on his part.
