Finding the Enemy 

Arriving at the place where the doctors and alchemists had been, Minos' group encountered two members of his crew exploring the area, a robot and a native of the Spiritual World.

That was the group that had split off from the team that had dealt with the group's ship earlier. By separating from that team, they had come to this place where it all began.

They had escaped dying with their comrades near the spaceship, but when the plant-infected individuals from this place returned to this place a few minutes ago in search of them, they fought for their lives.

As a result, the two of them were quite tired and had signs of battle all over their bodies, having lost their companion who had come to this place with them.

Fortunately, they were able to spot the enemies before they were surprised by their roots, and so they were able to eliminate some of the individuals who had attacked them.
