Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1590 - 965: The Great Flame Storm

The adventurers have always been quite friendly towards Klarna.Some might even be described as having a fondness for her.

The reason is probably because she fits the mold of a good mentor.

With her attentive guidance for adventurers and endearing nicknames like "disciple" and "silly disciple," alongside her pleasing speech—it’s only natural for her to be popular.

Even in Sain Dungeon, where high-profile characters abound, Klarna—with her relatively modest persona—still manages to attract attention. Her popularity doesn’t reach the levels of figures like Solar, possibly due to her late entrance and the less central locations she appears in.

For Temude and his companions, she is also a sorcery teacher worthy of respect.

The warriors’ conduct and cultivation prevent them from engaging in antics akin to those of the Yanor Kingdom folks—like going berserk over residual shadow characters.

Yet when encountering residual shadow characters they fancy, they can’t help but feel delightful, subconsciously making their movements more spirited.

Even though they are quite curious about the kind of reward the remnants of the Chaos Breeding Ground might yield, they unanimously decide to head to Klarna first to relay the news of the defeated Chaos Breeding Ground.

"First to Klarna, then a trip to Yanor Londo to find the giant blacksmith for weapon forging, and finally leave the dungeon."

Temude said this, and the other warriors nodded, each looking refreshed and bright-eyed.

This is the confidence gained from successfully vanquishing a King’s Soul holder!

The most gratifying part is that they’ve completed the first kill of the Chaos Breeding Ground, and their names are now engraved on the Clearing Stone Tablet.

Thinking about future challengers to the Chaos Breeding Ground queueing behind them brings the warriors immense joy.

It is extremely delightful!

"Do you feel like the environment in Izalis has changed?"

Walking out of the battlefield of the Chaos Breeding Ground, navigating the Chaos Ruins of Izalis, the warriors noticed subtle changes.

The entire scene in the Chaos Ruins of Izalis seemed to be less... fiery red?

The magma that once surged here, blindingly flashy with incredible heat detectable from afar, now had its color subdued, its flow drastically slowed, and even the warmth diminished significantly.

"Now we can thoroughly bathe in the magma."

Temude reached out and touched the magma before giving this evaluation.

The disappearance of the Chaos Breeding Ground instantly drained the vitality from the Chaos Ruins of Izalis.

"The demons over there are listless."

The Chaos Demons soaking in magma appeared despondent, their formerly ambushing tentacle limbs completely lost vigor, only the Rot Dragon’s lower body still moved normally in the distance.

Witnessing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit poignant.

"The Izalith Witch foresaw the decline of the Primordial Flame’s future, thus attempted to create her own flames to continue lighting the world, but unfortunately failed, being ultimately consumed by the Chaos Flame she created, with her children turning into the twisted form of the Chaos Breeding Ground... That’s likely it."

Using intros from King’s Soul and various artifacts, Lanle made a summary, arriving at this conclusion; he’s adept at piecing together fragmented information.

But even if the summary is incorrect, it’s not an issue, as fundamentally, the story presented by Sain Dungeon lacks a concept of "right or wrong," as long as there’s supporting text, any rational speculation or exploration can be made.

Lanle thought there’d surely be many "Sain Scholars" who’d disagree with his narrative, eventually leading to diverse discussions regarding the Chaos Breeding Ground.

"But this prince has the advantage of being first; surely more will believe."

Thinking this made him smile, planning to reveal his conjecture once outside.

It’s a form of entertainment too.

"In a way, this is also a tragedy," the warriors remarked.

Temude nodded, looking at the fuller emblem of the Royal Artifact on the back of his hand, he said, "Since the Izalith Witch tried to create flames to save the world, she deserves respect."

Though her actions resulted in creating the Chaos Demons—a force of monsters—the intentions at the beginning were good, weren’t they?

Speaking of which, he suddenly became curious, raising his eyebrows as if talking to himself or posing a question:

"With the Chaos Breeding Ground dead, how will the Chaos Demons procreate?"

They seemed to lack any sexual traits for propagation, nor did it seem like these demons reproduce through acts like mating, appearing solely reliant on the Chaos Breeding Ground for reproduction?

If the actual Chaos Breeding Ground in history was vanquished, wouldn’t the Chaos Demons cease to exist entirely?

Temude’s initial assumption of the Chaos Demons’ extinction stemmed from never encountering them outside Sain Dungeon.
