Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1576 - 958: Wait, How Is He Still Alive?

Just as Luluwo and their team successfully defeated the animated corpse version of Solar.Another team led by Hevi had also arrived at the White Spider Nest.

This was an exploration team organized by the Starfire Church itself.

"Hmm... is it here?"

Hevi poked at the wall covered in spider silk and successfully created a hole through the thick silk. Behind it was the shortcut of an ascension ladder leading from the Demon Relics to the White Spider Nest.

"Tsk tsk, if it weren’t for Luluwo and their discovery, who would think there’s another path during a normal exploration."

The thick white spider silk covered the hidden door of the shortcut perfectly, and normally, people wouldn’t consider touching the sticky and dirty silk intentionally.

After all, until now, the hidden doors in the Sain Dungeon always appeared on proper walls, never with such coverings.

"Hevi, although we’ve found the path, we still can’t go up this way, can we?"

The Starfire Knight voiced his doubts.

They had indeed found this hidden shortcut, not meant to be discovered through regular exploration processes, thanks to the guide. However, the ascension ladder was still above, and to make it descend, they needed to pull the lever switch next to it.

[Mechanism cannot be pulled]

When everyone touched the lever, such Magic Runes appeared on it.

It’s all part of Sain Dungeon’s patterns.

Everyone was familiar with this procedure; one must first go up and ride the ascension ladder from above to make the lever mechanism below function properly. This kind of design is abundant in Sain Dungeon.

What if, ignoring the ascension ladder, they tried to climb up through the elevator gap using the Flying Skill or some other means?

People have tried, but the success rate is extremely low because the ascension ladder fits perfectly, leaving no gaps, and the material of this thing, whatever it’s made of, is hard to destroy.

"But the rock layer here seems breakable."

Hevi looked at the rock layer above, calculating whether he could use his Dragon Slayer’s Fang to climb all the way up and then bore through the layer from the side to reach the upper level.

But he nodded, because this time, besides exploring the Demon Relics, there was another more important task.

Their target this time was Solar.

"Sigh, so troublesome."

Hevi sighed. Solar’s transformation into an animated corpse had indeed kept him busy for several days. Besides reassuring the followers of the Starfire Church, Hevi also needed to find time to rewrite the doctrine Chapters concerning Solar, using phrases like no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes to explain the animated corpse situation, finally using him as a cautionary example of the dire consequences of shaken faith.

The Starfire Knights didn’t believe much of this, but the local people of Scameroon quite enjoyed it, so the Church had to adapt.

He even felt a little grateful thinking about it.

If it had happened a few months ago, such an incident would probably have caused internal trouble within the Church for a long period, so long that he might not even have time to enter the dungeon now.

However, since the Sain Dungeon appeared in Scameroon, the faith patterns of local people, especially the rebel army closest to the Teleportation Gate, have changed.

They became more... should we say rational? Anyway, easier to appease, but with a stronger sense of autonomy.

The Starfire Church was pleased to see these changes among its followers, but how those churches that thrive on deceiving followers for money think about it is uncertain.

However, the necessary tasks couldn’t be skipped.

Hevi’s visit this time was to capture Solar with the Starfire Knights and see if they could use some methods to rejuvenate him.

Who knows if something like the Revitalization Technique would work on the residual shadow? Let’s try it anyway.

If it doesn’t work, then it’s just hopeless.

Hevi approached the sealed giant door. According to Luluwo, only by offering enough humanity to the White Spider could this shortcut be opened.

A rustling sound came from the giant door. Without looking up, he just swiped his finger through the air, and the Dragon Slayer’s Fang that flew from his sleeve sliced a Sun Worm pouncing toward him from above in half.

"Such ugly things can actually be named the Sun."

Hevi showed a look of disgust, then took out a casting medium, tightly adhering it to the gap of the giant door and operated the Magic Power within him.

Wait a minute, is he about to...

[Sorcery: Fierce Poison Fog]

A gush of dark green mixed with yellow poison fog spewed from his mouth, continuously flowing toward the gap of the giant door.

This is a sorcery obtained from the Egg Carrier at the cost of his soul, capable of emitting poison fog infused with extreme toxicity. Contact with this for just a few seconds is enough to poison a person severely.

Without the corresponding Detoxification Moss Ball, this poison originating from the Sain Dungeon is quite troublesome, hard to manage, and quite useful in battle.

Hevi used Fierce Poison Fog here with only one purpose.

To weaken Solar!

Let him first suffer severe poisoning and lose life force, then they can come over and capture him. This way, they can reduce the effort spent during the battle, right?
