Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1170 - 759: The Long-Awaited Painting World (Part 2)

"The exciting moment for opening the light points has arrived. If only we could record this scene; the images captured inside the light points always sell quite well."

The scattered white and purple light points spread across the ground looked extremely comforting; the thought that each light point was akin to a blind box made one even more eager to open them.

Hevi's thought process coincidentally aligned with the leader of the Skyrim Strategy Group for a brief moment as he was the first to pick up a white light point.

[Flying Dragon Dragon Tooth]

"Cool, such a precious material is found in a white light point? If I recall correctly, it used to be purple."

In fact, the color of the same type of item from the Sain Dungeon changes when appearing as a light point in different areas.

[Flying Dragon Wing Membrane], [Flying Dragon Sharp Claw], [Flying Dragon Scale]... Various Flying Dragon materials are contained within the light points.

A small light point instantly transformed into an adult-sized Dragon Tooth upon being picked up; no matter how many times one sees it, the scene remains fascinating.

The white light points contain Flying Dragon materials, along with miscellaneous items like Living Dead Soldiers' equipment parts, weapons, flowers, and grass.

Feels like things from a Flying Dragon's belly.

"The first purple light point, let me see..."

[Dragon Scale]

[Born of the dragon's body; can enhance dragon-type weapons scale]

[Dragon scales are part of the dragon's body; it's said those pursuing the eternal, indestructible Ancient Dragons cross the boundaries of the world to seek this treasure]

Clearly, this is used to enhance the Flying Dragon Sword!

"The introduction seems really impressive." Hevi examined the stone-like Dragon Scale in his hand, momentarily awed by its description.

Things like "eternal indestructible" and "crossing worlds" make the description akin to a golden legend in RPG games.

But in essence, isn't this just a slightly more precious Forging Stone?

"Oh well, I've basically gotten used to the style of writing in Sain Dungeon."

The previous Wedge Stone Replica was also claimed to be gods' forging material, which drew immense attention from the Starfire Church leaders... After being sent to the main camp for examination overnight,

Everyone who saw it praised it as a rare treasure, yet none knew how to use it; apparently, only the Sain Dungeon's blacksmith could utilize it.

The second purple light point was similar to [Dragon Scale], named [Dragon Scale Wedge Stone]

[A wedge stone altered by souls, capable of enhancing weapons refined from souls to higher realms]

[Weapons crafted from souls show improved effects when enhanced using wedge stones with equivalent power]

[Extremely rare Crystal Lizard devours souls, and its enormous body is said to conceal such items]

"...are there any differences between these two?"

Hevi scratched his head in confusion, feeling the two items seemed to have similar effects.

Whatever, let's verify once we find the blacksmith.

The third purple light point, upon being picked up, turned into the smallest item, merely a key.

[Clergy Key]

[A key possessed by the Clergy of the White Church, who bestow blessings everywhere; might unlock certain closed doors]

[Undead born within the White Church also pursue their mission, but unfortunately, some end in the dragon's belly] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Hevi placed the key tightly against himself using the Suffocating Dragon Tooth, reckoning this as an extremely important item.

It'll definitely be useful later!

The happy times of opening light points, or rather blind boxes, are always fleeting.

Previously, the ground was littered with myriad light points; now, only the last one remained, the alluring purple form shimmering on the broken bridge's surface.

"It's the last one—let's have a surprise."

Although the previous light points were precious enough, they felt slightly lacking in surprise, so Hevi clasped his hands, silently whispered a wish, and reached for the light point.

The touch of the light point was as if coated in dry paint, a distinctive texture never mistaken.

It was an oil painting!

Could it be!?

Hevi hurriedly brought the object before him, revealing a mix of joy and disappointment upon seeing its true form.

It was a painting.

A painting depicting a giant dragon roaring from the sky towards the ground, and a knight confronting it from below.

The part exciting Hevi was the emblem of the Sun Warrior hanging on the chest of the knight on the painting, who grasped a crackling Thunder Spear—it was a Sun Warrior!

But disappointingly, this painting was incomplete.

The knight's lower body and lower half of the painting were missing, seemingly torn by some external force.

[Painting World "Dragon Hunter Knight" • Part One]

[A painting depicting a knight's journey pursuing the sun during dragon hunting, it contains the legend of the knight]

"Why is it only half...ugh..."

Hevi painfully contorted, akin to seeing a favorite comic abruptly stop.

Negative emotions are easily contagious among intelligent beings like yawns.

When he shared this torn painting with others, the previously jovial Starfire Knights visibly dulled, faster than succumbing to illusion-induced depression.

"No! Let me enter the painting world; I can do anything!"

"If there isn't a painting world, I..."

The situation was chaotic, embodying the unique atmosphere of the Starfire Church, unmatched across all churches.

The first victory against the Red Flying Dragon, the first discovery of a painting world about Sun Warriors instead of the White Church were two joyous occasions stacked together, yet why did it fail to bring happiness?

"Anyway, regrettably I must inform everyone; we can only keep going."

Hevi restrained an urge to sigh, clenched his fist, and boosted morale:

"Think positively; we got the first painting here, meaning the remaining ones aren't far off. They'll soon be in hand as we explore further."

"But we spent ages battling the Flying Dragon to get this; won't we need to tackle similarly-level monsters later? Supplies are running low!"

Hevi suddenly hit the head of the Starfire Knight, who was speaking gloomily, hard enough to leave a bump, veins bulging in irritation: "I'm cheering you up here, are you trying to annoy me on purpose?"

With persuasion in full swing, eventually everyone moved, proceeding forward.

Past the bonfire area, they encountered a building cluster differing entirely in style from the slum-like Undead Town Outside the City.

While the building materials were similar, appearing historically aged, the architectural arrangement was orderly, providing a comforting view; even numerous monsters stacked nearby looked pleasing, complemented by green belts!

The bonfire, or rather the Flying Dragon Bridge, separated two distinct building clusters, seeming to divide two social classes.

This, perhaps, was the Undead Parish as Discouragement Brother described.

"Wait, there's something over there, look quickly."

A Starfire Knight suddenly shouted, feeling it was an overreaction to seeing something, as if he'd rarely seen such sights.

But when everyone followed his gaze, their expressions grew more ecstatic than a Mad Dragon's red eyes.

For not far away, a sunlit terrace lay.

Above the terrace stood a half-destroyed statue, which appeared strikingly familiar to the Starfire Knights, but even more so was the figure standing before it.

"That's Solar, right!?"
