Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1587 - 963: Seizing the King’s Soul (2)

"Can we go down now?"People voiced their suspicions uncertainly, unsure whether they should go down, mainly because both Temude and Lanle were nowhere to be seen, and there wasn’t anyone to make decisions for them...

"Everyone, come down! It’s safe here!"

Suddenly, Temude’s voice came from below. People quickly looked over to see him struggling out of the chaotic tentacles, looking disheveled, and finally sitting on top, taking deep breaths of air.

"You’re not dead!"

Seeing that Temude was still alive, the warriors breathed a sigh of relief and jumped onto the platform constructed by the tentacles beneath them, landing steadily on top.

Temude continued to breathe deeply, adjusting his state, and was amazed that he could survive such an ordeal.

Just when he was about to be swallowed by the Big Bang, he seemed to see someone blocking in front of him, taking on the frightening impact while pushing him downwards.

Under such dazzling white light, he didn’t clearly see who saved him; it might have been Lanle or Solar, both of whom were nowhere to be seen now.

"Hoo..."

He let out a turbid breath, as if trying to expel all the fatigue from today.

The warriors all watched him, waiting for him to perform a ceremonial activity.

"Anyway," Temude glanced around, seeing the Chaos Breeding Ground that showed no signs of life activities slumped there, completely turned into harmless deadwood, "In this battle, we won!"

"You can cheer proudly for this!"

Only after he officially announced their victory did the warriors erupt into the most fervent cheers they had yet to reveal.

There were just a few people present, yet the loudness of their cheers was no less than that of thousands of troops—a behavior only performed when truly delighted from within.

Bathing in such an atmosphere, no one could refrain from smiling.

The warriors merely immersed themselves in the cheering, without thinking about conducting any review now; that’s something to do after calming down. Now, they just needed to enjoy the joy.

As if to further ignite everyone’s joy, the Chaos Breeding Ground underwent another mutation.

Those robust tentacle surfaces began sprouting bulging lumps, one after another like a toad’s back. In the next moment, these lumps burst open with sounds akin to celebratory firecrackers, and colorful light points erupted from within.

Upon seeing the light points, people’s cheers grew even louder, nearly lifting Izalith’s ceiling.

"It’s truly an incredible sight."

Temude watched the scene of light points raining down and couldn’t help but exclaim: the scenery was beautiful in its own sense.

This battle was indeed unforgettable.

Another excellent Boss Monster hunt from the Sain Dungeon, bringing nothing but a deep sense of achievement.

The words spoken after the battle’s victory were firm and confident. Now Temude held his head high and was full of camaraderie, ridding the 365-mile song echoing in his ears of its melancholy essence, instantly turning majestic.

The song’s imagery immediately morphing into the hero achieving success after arduous struggle... something to this effect.

He also couldn’t help but recall the scene when Solar appeared, as well as his feelings at that time—indeed, it felt like witnessing the world’s greatest savior, with the security brought by that figure unparalleled.

In some sense, the security brought by Solar, appearing as a Golden Spirit Body, was as strong as the Shield Mushroom’s back, even far surpassing it.

"What will happen to him next?"

Temude couldn’t help but imagine, but quickly found his imagination somewhat lacking.

Solar’s Summoning Symbol appeared here because they defeated the Sun Worm, avoiding a mad ending, and then he re-energized himself?

He hoped things unfolded as he speculated, and if considering further along this train of thought, where would Solar head to once revived?

Continuing to challenge other King’s Soul holders, then grandly advancing towards Gwyn?

"The thought of that scene is just delightful."

Temude had started anticipating, looking forward to the day when he finally collected all King’s Souls, and during the epic showdown with the legendary Sunlight King, the Sun Warrior’s Summoning Symbol would continue to illuminate the Initial Firestove...

The imagined scene was so pleasing that he was afraid he would be deeply disappointed if the future development didn’t meet expectations.

"If this truly materializes, I’ll spend my lifetime in Sain Dungeon." He jokingly murmured to himself.

As he said this, he suddenly looked around as if trying to find something.

What he was searching for was, of course, the King’s Soul.

At this point, with the light point rewards erupting abundantly, why hadn’t he seen the King’s Soul yet—that was the main event.

Temude raised his hand and captured a purple-colored light point, revealing a burning flame tentacle in his hand, about the length of a finger.

[Chaos Branches]

[Originates from the broken branches of the Chaos Breeding Ground, still retaining the temperature of Chaos Flame. Consuming it temporarily boosts flame perception.]

[The Izalith Witches sought a survival path diametrically opposed to the Sunlight King, inadvertently creating Chaos Flame, and thus transformed into non-human entities.]

Items like this were abundant. Purple light points sprayed everywhere, and upon picking them up and inspecting, most were Chaos Branches.

"These can be given to the Magicians," Temude pondered a bit, feeling these items could be used to return a favor to the Magic Professors.

The purple light points contained not only these Chaos Branches but also various Magic Book Pages.

Magic Book Pages documenting various Chaos Spells were also erupting along with the light points. Warriors quickly exercised Mage’s Hand to touch these pages—not wanting to inadvertently learn them, lest they turn out unsuitable and become a waste.

From the basic [Fireball] [Flame Bomb] [Igniting Flames] to advanced [Flame Storm] [Chaos Fireball], all sorts of flame-related sorcery had chances to appear, marking a blissful moment for sorcery enthusiasts.

Moreover, some warriors stretched out their hands and caught a red robe of the same style worn by Izalith Witches; it’s surprising that such equipment could be sprayed as a reward too.

Temude calmed his heart, patiently awaiting the appearance of what he needed.

The eruption of light points was slowly dwindling and, after several dozen seconds, the eruption completely ceased.

The time had come; the warriors felt a subtle change in atmosphere and instantly paused their noisy shouts.

They collectively looked up towards the main body of the Chaos Breeding Ground.

There was originally a contorted humanoid upper body there which had completely lost its vitality, hanging powerless like a puppet with its strings cut.

Yet from its chest suddenly sprouted a flame.

The flame was exceptionally conspicuous, its warmth exceptionally comforting, and everything about the flame was captivating.

The flame burned larger and larger, its light and heat radiating onto everyone, making them sweat involuntarily. Its temperature seemed even higher than the two previous King’s Souls?

In the wild spread of this light and heat, emanating from the Izalith Witch, the King’s Soul finally revealed itself before everyone.

[King’s Soul]

[The soul of the "Mother of Demons" Chaos Breeding Ground, one of the first King’s Souls found during the Fire Era.]

[The Witch attempted to create an "Initial Fire" from the soul but ended up creating twisted Chaos Flame Giant Beasts.]

[The breeding ground nurturing all demons, this power is sufficient to fill the Royal Artifact.]

"Finally got it..."
