Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1147 - 744: Little Londo Ruins

The Holy Light Knights shouted things about love and courage as they charged forward.

This full display of camaraderie seemed enough to bring down even the resurrected Demon King.

However, what appeared before their eyes was just a pitiful, weak, and helpless Animated Corpse.

This fellow, hearing the commotion behind it, turned around with an innocent and clear expression, like having "Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do" written on its face, making everyone who saw it feel sorry for him.

And then it was utterly obliterated by the surging Holy Light.

As the Holy Light gradually dispersed, this place known as Little Longde Ruins reverted back to its deathly silence.

"..."

The Holy Light Knights were speechless, only after a while did they look up at each other, their emotions so complex they could be divided into a pie chart, like twenty percent bewilderment, thirteen percent confusion...

"Whose idea was it to shout so passionately from the start?"

It made everyone think there was an enemy as strong as a Black Knight ahead, when in fact it turned out to be just an ordinary, unimpressive Animated Corpse!

Everyone's emotions swung wildly back and forth, only to be wasted! (Sain Dungeon: Not at all)

"Ahem."

Anleisi gave an awkward cough, retracting the High-level Holy Light Magic she was about to unleash, and said, "Who would've thought there'd be an Animated Corpse here, never mind, it's not surprising for this kind of creature to show up anywhere, let's move on and stay cool-headed from here on."

And so the group continued onward, and then...

Encountered more Animated Corpses.

Yet no battle ensued at all.

"What are these guys even doing?"

Even the most serious Holy Light Knight couldn't help but utter a voice filled with confusion, and after witnessing the "locals" of the Little Longde Ruins, probably only Kaius could stay silent.

These Animated Corpses seemed rather carefree.

Some lay sprawled on the ground gazing at the dark ceiling, others sat at the cliff's edge watching the "sea," some napped together in groups, and the most outrageous was one lying down, propping their face with a hand as they slept, looking extremely comfortable.

Are these even monsters from Sain Dungeon? You could say they're adventurers from outside who came in to role-play and people would believe it!

The demeanor of these Animated Corpses... suddenly made the Holy Light Knights feel like they had been living too hard this whole time.

"Were these really the monsters we were so on guard against..."

"Even if I kick this guy looking at the sea down, he wouldn't react at all."

"I really want a vacation."

For some reason, the aura of laziness emitted by these Animated Corpses even silently eroded the once-firm willpower of the Holy Light Knights.

The entire team's morale instantly plummeted.

Ordinarily, the Holy Light Knights didn't feel like their work was tiring, it seemed like their daily routine was just this.

But humans by nature fear comparison, and once they start comparing, they find that their lives are just so, so different from others, like heaven and earth apart.

Seeing the Animated Corpses all looking so "laid-back," the Holy Light Knights fell silent.

As they ventured deeper, with each lazy-pose Animated Corpse they encountered, their silence grew heavier, until in the end, it was deafening, and their faces were full of black lines, with some walking with their heads down, seemingly depressed.

Finally, someone said something that absolutely should not have been said:

"I want to leave the church..."

"No! This is a trap!"

Anleisi suddenly exclaimed loudly, startling those next to her, but even though they were shocked, the Holy Light Knights still remained in a completely unmotivated state.

Just moments ago, Anleisi was in the same state as them but suddenly snapped out of it, bursting with Holy Light, making her look much more energized.

"Those Animated Corpses carry magic that contaminates the mind!"

It is very likely Hypnosis Magic!

Fortunately, Anleisi's sensitivity to magic was acute, allowing her to sense something amiss in time, as the hypnosis magic hidden on the Animated Corpses would reduce people's positive emotions and was quite advanced, taking considerable effort to dispel!

Her guess was fairly accurate.

The Animated Corpses indeed bore magic affecting adventurers' emotions, deeply hidden, subtly altering adventurers' spirits without them realizing.

This magic was exchanged from other City Lords, yes, specifically from Ganhai Dungeon, till this day, Gong Qiying was still exchanging magic with them.

For some reason, the magic exchanged from them initially started as mermaid magic but gradually became more varied, some quite powerful. It's said that Heiniss now lives quite comfortably with Sain's support, so the exchanged magic became increasingly formidable.

And the Animated Corpses weren't just carrying Hypnosis Magic.

If adventurers fell victim without realization, then the ultimate Animated Corpses would bear the ability of a Spirit Fruit, causing adventurers who came into contact with the ghosts summoned by the Animated Corpses to plunge into extreme negativity, likely not recovering easily.

For those like Anleisi who suddenly wake up partway and realize something's wrong, the attack from Spirit Fruit ability users gets automatically canceled.

Moreover, in dungeons, this increases her invisibility rating, enhancing the drop rates and quality of some rewards.

Good things do come, for Sain Dungeon highly values adventurer welfare.

"Holy Light, dispel their confusion for them! [Blinding Holy Light]!"

With Anleisi's shout as she raised her saber, an exceedingly blinding flash erupted from it, forcibly and rudely startling everyone's eyes.

"Ah ah ah!"

The Holy Light Knights on site immediately covered their eyes and cried out miserably, the scene's tragedy was indescribable.

Yet Sain Dungeon detected that after having their spiritual power spurred by that burst, these Holy Light Knights' emotions surprisingly stabilized, shifting from negativity back to normal!

So, it turns out these guys just need a good beating to return to normal?

"The kind of magic involving hypnosis and illusions fears intense stimuli the most, directly stimulating the body saves more time and effort compared to tiresomely healing or dispelling curses."

Anleisi revealed a smile of someone reliable beyond their years, but just then, a sudden change occurred.

While the Holy Light Knights still hadn't recovered from being blinded, suddenly from within the omnipresent pools of water in the Little Longde Ruins, wails were heard.

A seasoned adventurer could instantly tell that the scream came from Undead Creatures.

Kaius sniffed, brow deeply furrowed, gesturing a signal to his sister that indicated something strange about the enemy.

The sounds emerging from the water belonged to Undead Creatures, but the aura of those beings didn't quite seem right, not like ordinary Undead Creatures.

The aura contained inexplicable elements, and Kaius and his group couldn't pinpoint exactly what they were.

However, encountering unknown things in a place like Sain Dungeon is most likely not a good thing, requiring a hundred percent vigilance!

Anleisi's aggressive move hit hard, and the Holy Light Knights were still engrossed in the dazzling Holy Light, unable to extricate themselves. At this time, the duty of protecting everyone from the monsters fell on Anleisi and Kaius.

The still waters didn't ripple, but what lurked beneath finally emerged.

Pale, transparent, and ethereal bodies, with howling filled with resentment towards the living, undoubtedly these figures emerging from the pools were the classic Undead Creatures — Ghosts!

The total number was three times the number of Holy Light Knights present!

The feeling of living humans falling into the hands of Undead Creatures is undoubtedly the worst, this kind of monster would devour humans bit by bit, eventually resurrecting the remaining bodies to join the ranks of the dead, forming an undead legion if unchecked outside.

But this is inside a dungeon, greatly diminishing the boastful spawning ability of the Undead Creatures.

"Swish——"

A cold sword light flashed swiftly in the dark of the Little Longde Ruins, as the Ghosts emerged, Kaius immediately drew his blade and appeared before them.

A blade so sharp it seemed capable of cutting through anything, encased in a gust of wind, slicing forth a several-meter-long Blade Qi in an instant, slashing down every Ghost in a blink!

"Wait, why?"

Anleisi's voice of shock and doubt echoed. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Because where the Blade Qi passed through, those Ghosts...

Remained entirely unscathed?

Even a low-tier undead creature like a Ghost got fortified???
