The Profanites knew to expect a tough fight from Giselle. That was exactly why three of them had grouped up to face her this time. Even then, it was just three of them in this particular place. Who knew how many of them there were across the entire maze?
Giselle herself had no idea how they were following her or why they knew what she was looking for. After all, technically speaking, places like the temple and the maze were blocked off, and to gain admittance, one would need to come through the tournament. But she was certain there were no Profanites participating in the tournament. She had even checked.
Yet they appeared in her way nonetheless, ready and able to stop her. They had even prepared with greater numbers to pressure her, and just enough strength to defeat her without attracting attention.
