The group in the Hellraum Prison's fifth basement level transfer hall paused briefly for discussion before setting off on their journey.

Having confirmed their next destination, they were led by Antanas, temporarily leaving the exit transfer hall and heading towards Synola's special cell along the fifth basement level's corridors.

Guided by the deep crimson text on their bracelets, the optimal route to Synola the Spellbreaker's cell was displayed before them.

They could now clearly see which cell on the prison's fifth basement level housed the Great Demon, Synola the Spellbreaker.

Synola's cell wasn't far from the exit transfer hall, and with Antanas, an information specialist covered in barriers, leading the way, they could safely avoid Antanas' phantoms.

"When we see Synola, you stand at the door. Don't get close. If she shows any hostility towards you, retreat immediately. I'll block her."

Antanas said to the Great Poet while leading the way.

She basically treated Talia's daughter as her own goddaughter, and even without a contract, she would protect her.

"No problem."

Lan Qi nodded.

He couldn't explain the Great Poet's situation for now.

He would have to wait until they returned to the academy to show Antanas his true form and the fact that the Great Poet was a summon.

"Ah, if only you were a boy."

Antanas sighed suddenly.

"Why do you say that?"

Lan Qi glanced at Antanas, puzzled.

He was indeed a male, but Antanas didn't believe him.

"Do you know why Synola the Spellbreaker likes to keep her eyes closed?"

Antanas asked, watching Lan Qi and Hyperion.

"..."

Lan Qi and Hyperion exchanged glances for a few seconds and shook their heads in confusion. The Ice Demoness had never mentioned this.

However, in the portrait Lan Qi had drawn earlier, Synola the Spellbreaker was indeed depicted with her eyes closed.

So, it wasn't because she was tired, but because she simply didn't like to open her eyes in her normal state.

"Please tell us, Miss Antanas."

Hyperion said.

"Guess first."

Antanas lowered her voice, as if she had been wanting to tell them all along.

"..."

Hyperion realized that Antanas was an especially gossipy demon, knowing far more than the Ice Demoness.

No wonder Antanas and Talia got along so well. Antanas must have liked to chat beside her, while Talia listened, which was much more fulfilling than Talia usually spending her time alone, leaning back in her reclining chair reading trivial matters.

"Generally speaking, those who like to squint are monsters."

Hyperion mused, recalling that many stories were written that way.

"Perhaps Synola's eyes possess a pupil technique. Once she opens them, she'll enter a new stage and become incredibly powerful."

Hyperion tried to guess.

"No."

Antanas shook her head after hearing this.

"Synola is actually very bad at dealing with men. Every time she sees a handsome male enemy, she can't bring herself to strike. So, over time, she chose to close her eyes. Even if it reduces her combat power, it's better than being distracted and indecisive in battle."

"..."

Hyperion didn't know what to say.

Your old demon world is truly full of shining stars.

"You and Talia are so alike. If you were a boy, you would be quite handsome. Plus, your temperament is even better than Talia's. You would definitely be able to disrupt Synola's mind."

Antanas imagined for a moment, observing the Great Poet's face, and added.

"I see."

Lan Qi responded calmly to Antanas, taking it as a piece of demon trivia and not intending to say much more.

Ever since Antanas mistook him for the Great Poet and he couldn't explain it, Lan Qi had felt that Talia's face had some side effects.

Now, he realized that Talia's face was indeed a combat power reducer.

It might even be better for his true self to directly negotiate with the Great Demons.

The demon world group could actually be further optimized.

"..."

Hyperion stared at the black-haired, green-eyed Great Poet, recalling Lan Qi's original appearance.

She had never really had a concept of handsome or not handsome when it came to men, because everyone had always said her father was the most handsome since she was a child, making her feel that other men were about the same.

However, always hearing people around her commenting on Lan Qi, Lan Qi should be no less handsome than Duke Megaera...

"Why are you looking at me?"

Lan Qi asked, meeting Hyperion's eyes with a hint of doubt.

"...Nothing."

Hyperion quickly averted her gaze.

"Don't worry, I'll negotiate with Synola the Spellbreaker. You just wait outside the cell with Antanas."

Lan Qi had confidence regardless of his current appearance.

The prison area they passed through was a maze of roads. After arriving here, they couldn't see any other patrolling guards. The cells were locked with heavy metal doors, and the walls on both sides were made of anti-magic steel, covered with thick incantations on the outside. These incantations lit up and extinguished rhythmically, constantly cycling.

Following the map instructions on their bracelets, Antanas led them through corridor after corridor, successfully finding Synola's cell.

This cell's door was no different from the other cells.

But they already knew that the space inside the cell must be completely different from that of ordinary prisoners, with absolute reinforcement, impossible to break through by force.

After paying the service points at the door, accompanied by the sound of metal twisting, the complex sealing mechanism on the door began to unlock layer by layer, emitting mist from the inside out.

Until it was fully opened, a layer of translucent barrier remained in place, isolating all sound from inside the cell.

Antanas and the Great Poet were ready to enter the cell.

"Be careful later. Don't mess around."

Hyperion released the Great Poet's forearm, saying goodbye to him as if seeing him off.

Although the Great Poet was immortal, if Lan Qi was killed in this state, he would truly experience death once, and no one knew whether it would cause soul damage to him in the state of being controlled by Lan Qi's will.

Compared to Great Demons like Antanas, who had stable personalities, Synola was a completely different being. She would truly act cruelly.

"Don't worry."

Lan Qi looked at her, grinned, and gradually shifted his mind and attention from the Protoss Royal Academy to Hellraum Prison.

For him, it was almost the blink of an eye. When he came back to his senses, he found himself being led to the door of the target cell.

Hyperion stared at Lan Qi's bright eyes that had just returned to his senses, and for some reason, she was a little dazed.

Besides being clear, in that familiar pair of eyes, Hyperion seemed to see emerald demonic pupils for a fleeting moment.

The Great Poet's eyes were indeed demonic pupils, but they should be blue.

Looking closely at Lan Qi again, she found that they were indeed human pupils. She didn't understand why she had that illusion just now.

This feeling, even at the Purgatory Corridor Academy, she had never experienced on the Radiant Demon Headmaster who wielded lightning.
