As soon as he had awakened most of the corpses Minos had in his spatial ring and the Guards he had just killed, the group of prisoners in that area had already moved away from them to join the rebellion.
Meanwhile, Abby and Minos controlled the minds of the prison Guards, forcing them to guide them through this immense place.
Few of the Guards knew where the specific locations of prisoners were in this large unit. After all, there were simply too many enemies of the sovereign family of Uzira who were imprisoned here. But the group of guards knew where Gloria and Ruth's cells were, because of Minos' identity.
As soon as Minos was discovered, the necromancer woman who confronted him told the Cursed Rock forces what he was likely to do. As a result, Ruth and Gloria's cells should have already been manned, while the paths to each of them should have been blocked by groups of Guards.
The only reason Minos hadn't faced a stronger group to free Abby was because of Mylecent, who was fighting the strongest men in the prison right now.
So the two of them followed Abby's undead, heading for Ruth, who should be three levels and six corridors away from them at the moment.
Minos didn't waste his powers, not even Abby's corpses. As they moved, he freed more inmates while killing Guards and Jailers along the way.
"By the way, Abby, I've found out where we'll find more of the black liquid," Minos said to his wife amidst their movement and the fighting in the surrounding area.
"Oh? Where's that?"
"A place called Awakening Peak, located a few days away from this prison. Anyway, when we've resolved our situation and we're safe, we'll go to the area to collect the black liquid. That will bring us closer to fulfilling the guild's mission.""When it's safe? I'm afraid that will take a while," she said in a pessimistic tone. "The sovereign family of Uzira won't forgive us. We'll be persecuted as long as we live."
"It'll take a while, but we'll manage. In any case, my cultivation is much slower now. We'll have time to plan each of our steps when we leave Cursed Rock."
He finally reached the corridor where Ruth was, where the men and undead running in front of him had already attracted the attention of the level 118, 119 and 120 enemies in that place.
Minos didn't invest in combat readiness, but freed more of the people trapped there.
"Boss?" Suddenly, one of the newly freed men shouted in Minos' direction, drawing the attention of the white-haired, seraphim-winged man.
"Clexvog?" Minos identified one of the giants in his group and quickly passed the giant a tool to put on one of his wrists.
"I knew this was about you, boss! No one else would cause such a ruckus." The giant felt his strength recover as Minos' silver flames burned his body.
His cultivation was at the peak of level 117, very close to him advancing to level 118.
Minos didn't invest in the conversation with Clexvog, when he used his ability to steal his enemies' cultivation base and raise his own, Abby's and now Clexvog's.
Sensing his strength at level 119, the giant flew towards the enemies, fighting those trapped in the area. His rage condensed along with his energy as he attacked the enemies who had tortured him in this diabolical place with sheer brute force.

Wovar had been one individual who had died before they were arrested, so Clexvog was even more brutal than some prisoners unleashing their rage on the area.
Meanwhile, Ruth had already realized that Minos was there even before her cell opened and she felt her wrists and heels free again.
His silver flame helped her recover as she hugged him tightly, seeing him again after so many years and tortures.
"I'm glad you're back. I was afraid I'd never see you again." She said after kissing him for a few moments.
Ruth was currently at level 116 and when she felt Minos' powers acting on her, her cultivation rose to level 118, enough for her to connect with her three allies and help them regain their strength.
The remaining Guards and Jailers were now trying to retreat, having already sent out warning signals and requests for reinforcements. But even if that were to have any effect later, it wasn't enough to save them now. Before they could leave Minos' field of vision, the man's powers pressed down on them, opening up vulnerabilities for the many inmates to kill them.
More undead rose under Abby's influence, bringing the number of corpses serving her to 37.
As they were moving to go to Gloria, Minos suddenly heard something.
'Before you save your other wife, set me free. I'm right above where you are now.' An old woman's voice sounded in Minos' mind, making him look up and see the black ceiling of the area where he was standing.
'Are you Ysolt?' Minos imagined that this was the only possible explanation.
'Indeed. Mylecent spoke to you about me,' The same voice said. 'I'll help you escape when I'm free.'
Minos wanted to rescue Gloria before anything could happen to his wife, but he wouldn't underestimate the powers of a seer capable of predicting that he would come to this place.
Few seers had been successful when it came to looking into Minos' future. Someone like that had to have his attention!
In particular, he had a certain fear, a worry about what she might do. Being close to someone with such potential would be crucial for him not only in relation to this escape!
'She's probably the same as Mylecent...' Minos wondered as he moved towards the upper level with his group. 'I can barely use my powers much beyond the walls of this place. But the two of them talked to each other even when trapped here. That's how strong their powers are!'
As soon as he reached the level where Ysolt was, Minos would notice that all the individuals he had freed in that corridor where her cell was would behave more orderly, welcoming her with specific gestures of respect and adoration.
As soon as he released the woman, Ysolt walked out of her cell, revealing a younger appearance than her voice in Minos' mind had suggested.
Her cultivation recovered on its own, reaching the peak of level 123 in moments, while her long orange hair swayed amidst her rapid movements.
"Congratulations on your release, Lady Ysolt!" the men there shouted simultaneously, making it seem as if they were former subordinates of Queen Mylecent's most important ally.
But these were mere inmates she had talked to over the years!
"Now we can start the rebellion for real." She smiled at Minos as she squeezed one of her wrists with one hand. "Let me show you how experienced seers really fight, dear apprentice."
