Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1173 - 762: Roleplay of an Ancient Era

In the eyes of adventurers, the Painting World is divided into two major types.

One type throws people in without saying anything, just letting them explore. If they find a way out, they'll leave; if not, they obediently stay inside and act as human batteries for the Sain Dungeon.

The representative work of this type is the Painting World Yanor Londo.

The other type involves adventurers gaining an identity related to this Painting World, experiencing the content of the painting as someone's role in this small world.

The representative works of this type are Painting World Wolf Knight and Painting World Waste Stone; both were once hugely popular and trending.

In general, the second type is more prevalent. To some extent, the Painting World seems to serve the narrative of the Sain Dungeon more, helping adventurers understand the legendary stories that have occurred in this land.

If asked which type of Painting World Hevi prefers, he would certainly answer the second type without hesitation.

After all, isn't role-playing more fun than exploring on your own?

"The last time I entered this type of Painting World, I was playing the Elden King."

He's referring to the plot of playing the Faded in the Painting World Waste Stone, a segment that indeed left a lasting impression.

Recently, the biomimetic tear drop found in the Eternal City reignited the topic of the Faded, increasing the popularity of the Painting World Waste Stone even more, making it even more famous.

However, information spreads with a delayed nature. Until the church support from the Yanor Kingdom arrived, Hevi didn't know about the new area related to the Eternal City. Unfortunately, even though he was interested in it, he couldn't leave his post without permission.

Fortunately, the church took some of the local specialties from the Eternal City as a treat for him.

"Today I must fully indulge."

Looking at the Flying Dragons turning their heads to charge at him, Hevi raised his hands and shouted loudly, activating the combat skill [Boastful Roar] that he had mastered.

The shout ignited an unknown level of fighting spirit within himself, but it definitely caught the attention of the Flying Dragons that were previously chasing the local residents, turning all their eyes towards him.

"Come on, your target should be me!"

Hevi pat his chest and spoke loudly, feeling that stepping into the role of an ancient Sun Warrior made these words appropriate at this moment.

As he wished, the Flying Dragons were successfully enraged by his attitude, screaming wildly and lunging forward.

While small Flying Dragons in motion lack the oppressive presence of giant dragons as members of the Dragon class, they also lose the wisdom of giant dragons and are filled with the ferocity of monsters, making them even more terrifying to ordinary people.

Each of these small Flying Dragons is a strong and fierce monster, capable of occupying territory if placed outside.

Even dealing with so many Bloodthirsty Hunting Dogs would be troublesome, let alone this many Flying Dragons.

Hevi neither has [Patience] nor [Iron Pot Fragrance Medicine] or a Havier Suit; he can't stand firm like an Ambela Star Person amidst the current monster tide. So after gaining the attention of the monsters, he turned and ran.

He ran towards relatively narrow alleyways to avoid being surrounded by small Flying Dragons in open areas.

At the moment he led away all the small Flying Dragons, the local residents under attack finally received a moment of safety, with their faces resembling animated corpses but more fleshly appeared hopeful.

Perhaps cliché and routine, they directly cheered and expressed thanks to Hevi as he ran far away, fully expressing their gratitude to the Sun Warrior who saved them from peril.

Receiving gratitude from the rescued, and those rescued expressing gratitude within a minute of being saved, such real-time reactions are enough to make most who extend a helping hand feel genuine joy from this immediate positive feedback.

As expected, upon hearing the grateful voices from behind, Hevi couldn't help but smile, feeling as if the Sun Badge on his chest was shining brightly.

Though when examining the details, the development here begins to lack logical coherence.

For instance, how did those ordinary people being attacked react and express gratitude so quickly? Logically, they should focus on escaping for their lives, leaving thanks for later, or perhaps...

But isn't this just a Painting World? Why dwell on such details in the Painting World?

Providing the adventurer with expected emotional and material value is completion enough!

The heartfelt gratitude from the rescued, voiced without fear of monsters turning back on them, successfully shifted Hevi's mindset.

From "Since I'm playing the Sun Warrior, let me save those people" to "Now that I'm the Sun Warrior, no one here shall die!"

He became engrossed, starting to accept his current identity and actively add drama! For example, turning to shout towards the crowd "You all run, I'll cover the rear" was appropriate.

This shift was indeed influenced by the characteristics of this Painting World and his personal traits.
