In the south eastern direction, the small teleporter successfully teleported seven objects — be it living or non living — in a straight line to somewhere having the River of Origin to its south.
Back in the Valley of the Dead, one of the Vampire Slaves was left behind during the teleportation but in actual real sense, out of the four hooded Vampire Slaves, only two of them went through that teleporter.
Max blended as one of the two clashing sides in order to be teleported in disguise, earlier in that night. Likewise the Disguise Gifted was teleported as a Vampire Slave because that was his main goal in the mission team since from the beginning.
First reappearing standing at the destination-in-mind of the hooded Vampire Slaves was Max — surely not the Disguise Gifted nor the Vampire Slaves.
'Damn gracious goodness! So close, that was so narrow. It really worked! Teleporters... are real and they really work because right now I am fucking teleported!'
Unlike his thoughts box, everything here was covered in calm darkness that was despising the slight illumination produced by the teleporter's blue and dim orange lights. Furthermore, the darkness in the small place definitely hated how a small electric light bulb illuminted the doorless way out of the quiet place right ahead of Max.

'Stop your excited thoughts, time is limited! Maxy, stop aimlessly pondering!' The other Max shouted into his mind, though it was the same person. 'Narrowly coming here first is going to be a good opportunity to move ahead as the fuckers continue to clash.'
Max expected to meet other Vampires at the other side but to the displeasure of his pessimistic mind, no one was here to offer him a hostilic welcome in the — maybe — den of slaves. Not wasting his time after he wasted lot of time, he calmly moved ahead.
The small electric light buld hanging right above the doorless way brightly illuminted the hood shadowing his face, and also his whole body that was covered in black robe was brightly illuminted before he was embraced by a sudden absolutely nonchalant darkness. He was in a hallway; the darkness and silence felt eternal like the river of time.

'Finally...'
After walking for a minute, Max stopped walking, seeing two Vampire Slaves horizontally walking past ahead of the hallway. He hurriedly moved to his right and tried his best to blend with the dark wall.
Reluctantly, he used Spider Vision while he was as hell scared to be blinded by the damned Gift without any warnings. Therefore he made sure no one was ahead of him and immediately deactivated it.
Soon, Max continued moving. He entered a little bit brighter place that resembled a typical corridor of a mordern highschool, filled with red lockers with the symbols of a black flying bat on some of them. To his assumptions, that must be a symbol representing Lucas and whatever army of Vampire Slaves he had who were willingly working towards whatever his goal might be.
Max looked around him, and in a mere rapid had serial thoughts roaming his brain:
'...I am making a good move but Lucas is not intruding my mind?..'
'...which way should I take...?...'
'...Oh come on, not Spider Vision!'
'...am I ready to meet Lucas face to face?..'
'...Or should I ask Antaf on what to do?...'
'...Would Lucas know I'm here but does nothing?...'
'...or have things changed without my knowing?...'
.
.
Reluctantly opting to activate Spider Vision again, Max viewed the whole place from every direction. He didn't move his sight very high upwards as it seemed to be filled with eternal darkness. Moving it downwards, darkness greedily dominated every inch of it.
Now, he was focusing the navigation of his view in every direction apart from up and down. He saw everything he needed to see: few Vampire Slaves, ghostly empty rooms, empty rooms, more rooms having few movable coffins he assumed were filled with System Based Weapons, and then he saw something that felt like the end of his nightmare;
He saw a room having cages with small children locked up in those cages;
And then;
And right there and then, in the depressed aura emitting room, he saw in one of the big cages... he saw, he really fianlly saw:
The maroon haired human girl:
'Is that Evelyn...?'

At the time Max was teleported in the Valley of the Dead, the same Max was escaping the wrath of the Vampire Slaves his mission team has ambushed. The team members weren't stupid of course! Yes, true, they were three professional Blue Forces but not arrogant to the extent of facing another similar number of Vampire Slaves. Blue Forces were the few that knew that specy of Vampires were similar to the Undeads and weren't ignorant of it.
From the earlier discussions of his team members he picked interest in, Max learned a little history about some aspect of the supernaturals.
Among so many beings, the Undeads were one of the creatures forced into extinction by the Absolute Law. But history about them showed that apart from the Absolute Law, no one could hide them from the face of living. They were few but also good soldiers of their time.
'Absolute Law? Not the first time I heard someone mentioning it...'
During the times of the first great war, that is the ferocious war between the Wizards and the Werewolves, the Undeads were one of the reason why the Werewolves suffered a lot of defeats in number of times despite their small number, that is in the hands of the Wizards.
With that knowledge still alive, why would this few Blue Forces willingly face such kind of horror of the same number as their own? And besides, Max was one of those beings, and indeed, he was abled to go toe to toe with the vengeful Robert Milo — one of the recent prides of the Blue Pack Force.
'Hmm. So the Disguise Gifted is a substitute to this heavy body, huh?' Max thought, angry that the Blue Forces said he was the one to carry the Vampire Slave they miraculously forced into unconsciousness in order to exchange him with the Disguise Gifted. During the time of exchange, the grave yard of that area was covered in complete blue smoke.
By the time the blue smoke diffused in the air, none of the mission team members could be seen by the Vampire Slaves;
They entered the green litted part of the Valley of the Dead.
"No one is following us, why not we take a break here?"
"Sure."
"Can you still mind link him?"
"No, the last thing he said was that he would be teleported."
"That implies he is taken somewhere very far away from us."
.
.

Uninterested in their conversations, Max kept the heavy body of the Vampire Slave beside him on the floor. As he was sitting on the ground beside a green light emitting small mushroom, both of his hearts skipped some beats because;
Because they didn't believe to see his little angel's face this easily;
This night was one the best nights of his life;
His world froze. . .
