Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1116 - 725: A Familiar Place? Truly Familiar?

When the Dungeon's Teleportation Gate forcibly sucks people in, how do they feel?

The Starfire Church laughed heartily, exhibiting extreme excitement.

The Holy Light Church tried to resist, but to no avail; everyone was tense.

The residents of Hepa Town were thrown out early, unaffected completely.

As for Todd...

He currently feels like he's received an invitation from the Main God Space asking if he wanted to join, and the two options below are both "YES" and "Okay", feeling the same.

"Ahhhh!"

Wrapped in the "pleasant" sensation brought by the scream, Todd was swept along with others into the teleportation gate of Sain Dungeon.

This time, the special effects of light and sound from the Sain Dungeon Teleportation Gate were rather restrained, only causing a few harmless cracks in the earth, without destroying any surrounding houses.

If anyone stayed inside and didn't come out, they wouldn't be pulled in by this suction force.

Like Dorian, who hadn't come out since the beginning.

"Suddenly... it's quiet."

He looked at the empty street left with the teleportation gate standing, tilting his head momentarily.

Then he ran out to start dismantling the backpacks on the horses left behind by the Holy Light Church, making excited noises.

The little boy thrown outside Hepa Town sneaked closer and peeked, seeing the empty town with only Dorian, feeling bewildered.

Meanwhile, inside Sain Dungeon.

"Wowaaa——"

Todd felt like he was falling, but the speed wasn't so fast; you'd even call it "pleasant," as he felt like he was defying physics.

But though it was a gentle fall, it was terrifying enough for him, as he never learned High Tier Wind Magic precisely because it requires flying, and he's afraid of heights!

"Could you stop screaming? It's hurting my ears. If it weren't for that badge on you, I'd have put you to sleep directly."

Hevi's voice came from beside him, and Todd was terrified to find he was falling alongside the Starfire Church team, while the Holy Light Church folks were nowhere to be seen.

It's hard to say whether he was lucky or unfortunate now.

Perhaps the fear of falling had stimulated his mind; Todd rarely stood firm for once, shouting, "Can't you be civilized? Always shouting about killing people; it's annoying! I didn't do anything, completely innocuous!"

"Who said I was going to kill you? I just wanted to knock you out and toss you somewhere else, don't you realize you're a civilian?"

Hevi's words made Todd pause, thinking who would say such a thing with a face like a psycho killer, expecting people to believe it's just normal sleep?

Even if misunderstood, it's your fault!

Just as Todd wanted to say something more, Hevi suddenly hushed him with a finger to his lips, making a silence gesture.

"Shh, it's starting, appreciate it carefully."

"Appreciate carefully?"

Todd then noticed that the sky they were falling through was changing appearance.

From clear blue skies, gradually drenched in darkness, yet it wasn't any ominous dark force, just a simple color change.

The purpose of the color change was to better present the images before the crowd.

"Crackle, pop——"

Suddenly some noise resounded around them, causing Todd to shut up.

Though still falling, there was no wind sound, only those crackling sounds echoing.

As the surrounding blackness enveloping them ignited the first flame, people finally realized.

This was the sound of flames burning!

More precisely, it was the sound of bonfire flames.

For adventurers, the shimmering blessing brought a visual delight, but for those who had been in the Sain Dungeon earlier, the unadorned bonfire held more allure.

This wasn't about any other factor, purely about personal preference.

Some had admired the Undead Team by the bonfire in the corpse-laden Fran Fort, some had shared a drink with Onion Knight by the bonfire in the cold Yilushier, some had exchanged past glories with the Dark Moon Knight by the bonfire in Yanor Londo, and some found food in the food region to enjoy barbecue by the bonfire...

Many memories involving bonfires remain, leaving these adventurers unable to replace their bonfire memories with blessings even when in the Boundary Land.

"It's bonfire, so nostalgic..."

A sound full of sentiment escaped from under Hevi's helmet, the majority of Starfire Church members reacted similarly, except Todd, who hadn't truly ventured in, and the companions recruited locally by the Starfire Church in Scameroon looked puzzled.

A mere bonfire that could evoke such a dramatic effect from these people?

[In ancient times, the world was yet to be divided, shrouded in fog, with grey rocks all around, towering trees, and immortal ancient dragons...]

A familiar, elderly voice rose, and peculiar world scenery unfurled with its narration.

[But one day, the world ignited its first flame, giving rise to all differences]

"This is the oldest version of the Sain Dungeon image. Wow, I haven't seen it in ages!"

Hevi's voice now wasn't merely nostalgic but was akin to a fan ecstatic for a favorite hobby.

The images playing now were the shared memory of all veteran adventurers, it was the image when Sain Dungeon first appeared in the public eye.

Internally, the Starfire Church had named this image [The First Flame].

It narrated the tale of the birth of flames, of Sunlight King Gwyn and those gifted by flames fighting against ancient dragons, opening the era of fire!

To any researcher studying Sain Dungeon, this image was unavoidable, and exaggeratedly, it was essential for studying Sain.

"Look, that big skeleton is Nite, the first of the dead. I was blessed by him during the Endless Reincarnation!"

"That's White Dragon Heiss. Looks pretty, right? I also think white dragons are the best looking!"

"Those huge rocks on the other side are ancient dragons, isn't it amazing? Who would've thought ancient dragons were made of stone."

Whenever new scenes appeared, Hevi eagerly explained to others, his emotions visibly thrilled.

But considering it was normal; if one didn't like things about Sain Dungeon, one generally wouldn't choose to join the Starfire Church.

On the other side, Todd showed a face of plotting and scheming something.

"Could I use the Sain Dungeon to escape, get away from Dorian's side?"

This plan was entirely feasible!

He knew Sain Dungeon was interconnected, linking the Yanor Kingdom, Warrior Country, and Red these three nations.

The teleportation gates to these three countries have specific locations, leading to Yanor Kingdom are the Fire Transmission Ceremony, Lake Lienia, and Casas Underground Tomb, corresponding to Bed City, Val City, and the Royal Capital respectively; leading to Warrior Country is the Round Table Hall, and Red is the Hunter's Dream.

"As long as I can find the Fire Transmission Ceremony, I can escape!"

When Dorian comes after him, he'll have already hidden, no one can find him!

Thinking of this, Todd trembled with excitement. He's endured until now, working hard just to find a chance to get rid of Dorian, and hope finally presented itself.

"Ah, praise Sain!" he shouted spontaneously, at this moment he acknowledged the teleportation gate of Sain as dispatched by gods to save him.

"Oh? You've also sensed the beauty of Sain? Hmm, you have talent." Hevi nodded in satisfaction.

"Hehe..." And Todd was left giggling foolishly, envisioning a bright future while chuckling. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

A few minutes after the image had finished playing.

"This isn't the Sain I know!"

Todd grabbed the moss-covered iron bars of a jail, crying out loud, a line of magic words appeared before him.

[Northern Undead Asylum]

"Where are we, hey!!!"
