Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1182 - 767: Anyway, Let’s Ring the Bell First
The sudden appearance of these new regions in the Sain Dungeon really brought a shock that was a bit overwhelming.
If one were to use a metaphor, it would be like a diner enjoying a feast in a restaurant so much, that even though the portions were huge, they still managed to stuff themselves. But just as they were supporting themselves against the wall to settle the bill and leave, the waiter suddenly pushes in a full banquet and announces that what stuffed them half to death was only the appetizer, and there's much more, so they cannot rest yet.
If you finish eating, there's a reward, but if you don't... the punishment is the feeling of remorse when you watch others finish and receive rewards.
This was the kind of shock it brought.
Honestly, everyone was a bit at a loss, not knowing what to do with such a situation.
When an overly colossal goal suddenly presents itself, it indeed leaves one uncertain of what the next step should be.
However, as the leader of the team, Hevi absolutely couldn't follow everyone in bewilderment. In the end, he resolutely chose their initial goal: ringing the bell!
But what to do after ringing the bell...
Just take it step by step. Anyway, there's no so-called main task in the Sain Dungeon. We'll see which new region is most suitable to explore next.
The Starfire Knights received the captain's command, and the confusion in their eyes diminished. Now they knew what to do.
The group recorded the Sain Ancient City with the Image Stone and then returned to film the small part of the Black Forest Courtyard that included Blacksmith Andre, not daring to venture deeper.
This footage will be given to the bishops to let them study it themselves. Incidentally, Hevi, who previously was keen to concoct "historical constructs" related to Gwyn for various things that appeared in the Sain Dungeon, was at a loss for words this time, not knowing what to say, and simply maintained silence throughout.
"I don't know why, obviously we haven't explored the Undead Church yet, but somehow it feels outdated."
"That's because the new regions are too numerous, and they've scrambled your brains."
On the road to the Undead Church again, the Starfire Knights actually felt quite nostalgic, making it feel as though a long time had passed in such a short absence.
It surely must be due to the overwhelming impact of the numerous new regions. It surely must be.
The interior of the church was just as they imagined, filled with impending threats and unexpected dangers.
The good news is that the Undead Church wasn't as large and complicated as they imagined the Deep Church to be; upon peering inside, they found it merely a church.
The largest area was the hall seen after entering through the main door, with stairs leading up at the back of the hall. The number of floors unknown for now, but by estimation, should not exceed five, as the building's height was evident.
This architectural layout undoubtedly provided a great convenience for adventurers' exploration.
The bad news is, due to the church's smaller size, the monsters, which should have been dispersed, all gathered together, thereby creating the adventurers' most hated situation: monster hoarding.
Even a sheer mass of animated corpses could lead to unforeseen circumstances, let alone what's piled up here now is far from just animated corpses but...
Balder Knights, like wandering souls but far stronger than animated corpses by more than one level!
They had become common monsters in the church, with an exponential increase in numbers.
The word "monster" in the term "monster hoarding" suddenly shifted from animated corpses to Balder Knights, with the danger level continuously rising.
"Seriously? We just took down one knight, why did all the other knights notice us!"
The Starfire Knights shouted in anger and shock, and the next moment, the sound of clashing iron drowned their voice as a large group of enraged Balder Knights charged forward with weapons raised.
Inside the Undead Church, no fewer than two dozen knight enemies wandered aimlessly, making individual assassinations quite troublesome.
They barely seized the opportunity to sneak up and silently take down one, and for some unknown reason, when this Balder Knight died, the other knights seemed to sense it and all turned towards them.
A frontal conflict thus erupted.
Leading the monsters, among the flock of Balder Knights, was a Heavy Armor Knight wrapped like an iron can, similar to the knights in the Deep Church but taller, wielding a tower-like giant shield and warhammer glowing with murderous colors.
On the adventurers' side... Hevi was already leading everyone and aiming their Thunder Spears.
This was a duel of magic and martial arts; normally it should be the adventurers' side using martial arts, today the roles reversed.
Hevi went to dismantle that can-like knight; the rest engaged the Balder Knights, momentarily transforming the church interior into a small battlefield, the enormous building slightly trembling due to the battle.
The duration of the battle usually isn't long, victory decided in an instant. When less than ten minutes had passed, the battle concluded.
The defeated Balder Knights lay scattered across the ground, while Hevi successfully dismantled that can-like knight into a mess.
