Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1190 - 770: Sun Warrior Mentor

"The thirteenth attempt; this will be our closest to success yet."

While the Wilderness Church was busy altering consciousness colors, in another part of Sain Dungeon, the members of the Starfire Church were still struggling to overcome the "Double Stone Statue Ghost."

For some reason, although this was their thirteenth attempt at the strategy, they did not feel fatigued from the depletion of spiritual power; instead, they had a tendency to become more energized the more they fought.

In theory, they should be exhausted by now, teetering on the edge of being kicked out of Sain Dungeon at any moment.

Looking around, including Hevi among them, the Starfire Knights were covered in grime, their original armor long destroyed, having to drape various enemy-dropped equipment pieces over themselves. They looked no different from mountain bandits or even vagrants, appearing as monsters in other dungeons.

Yet their eyes were all fiery hot, constantly radiating astonishing light, their spirits shooting skyward like sharp swords.

What a bizarre state it was. Who could simultaneously experience "mental fatigue" and "mental exhilaration?"

But the Starfire Knights managed to do it.

This feat was not something achievable by sheer human effort, after all, spiritual depletion is depletion, and it's far more challenging to recover spiritual power in a dungeon than in daily life. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

So what exactly was happening?

Initially, Gong Qiying didn't understand, so he started observing everyone all the time, eventually noticing something peculiar.

As adventurers died and revived, their spirits would actually fatigue more and more, and the spiritual power released during similar emergencies would gradually decrease, which was when Sain Dungeon would eject them, but adventurers would usually leave voluntarily at this point.

However, Hevi and his group, intent on overcoming the Double Stone Statue Ghost, hung tough without leaving, yet their spiritual power hadn't reached the danger line.

This was because they prayed.

Every time they revived, they would pray to their faith's symbol—Sun Badge, reciting the Starfire Church's self-created prayer.

And after this relatively short prayer ended, a miraculous thing happened.

Their spiritual power briefly recovered a bit, although not much, and would decline again after some time, but it was indeed a real recovery!

"I've never seen such a situation before."

Gong Qiying felt a tinge of surprise, and the surprise was:

"Turns out prayers in this world actually work?"

Previously, there were people with faith praying inside Sain Dungeon, and he had observed them, concluding that their prayers were utterly useless, purely a form of self-comfort.

But here in Scameroon, the prayers of the people actually worked, really raising spiritual power?

He turned to look at others, the Golden God Sect, Wilderness Church, people with different faiths also appeared to receive a temporary spiritual power boost after praying, even showing some other additional effects.

Starfire Church people seemed to become braver, Wilderness Church more mysterious, Golden Church had better magic control...

All this was proving that Scameroon people's prayers were indeed effective!

And in the eyes of Sain Dungeon, what their talent represents was clearly evident.

"Local natives are indeed premium spiritual power work cattle."

Hence, Gong Qiying immediately reduced the deduction of spiritual power on adventurers' deaths and revivals. For these specially talented people, longer-term strategy could yield greater benefits.

Looking at it this way, not only racial differences exist in this world, even people from different regions possess different abilities.

Warrior Country people's dragon blood and warrior talents, Reid people's skill-learning ability, Scameroon people's prayer "healing."

Wait, speaking of which, what about the people of Yanor Kingdom? Why do they feel so "primitive?"

Could their talent be a knack for creating chaos?

Though it's hard to imagine the strengths of Yanor Kingdom people's talents for now, this doesn't affect the situation, Gong Qiying already views Scameroon people as a treasure mine waiting to be unearthed, focusing more on Hevi's group, reducing their spiritual power on deaths and revivals, intending to see what surprises these people might offer him.

Additionally, the recent behavior of the Wilderness Church group is quite intriguing, it seems they are about to reveal their outcomes soon.

On the other side.

"Set out!"

Following a brief prayer, the Starfire Knights stepped spiritedly onto the path ahead, with the goal naturally being the "Double Stone Statue Ghost!"

This time, they felt confident about achieving victory.

With continued combat, the odds of winning this boss fight were climbing from initial low single digits upward, every death became valuable experience for the next, enabling them to climb higher and higher, akin to ascending perilous peaks, at this moment needing just one final leap to victory.

And this final leap they firmly believed they were qualified to take because—

"Buzz—"

Before the Fog Gate, a gleaming summoning badge appeared, a shimmering image of Solar emerged upon it, it was his summoning badge.

Could the final leap mean Solar's assistance?

The Starfire Knights respectfully glanced at Solar's summoning badge, yet none of them stepped forward to activate it, they all bypassed the symbol one by one, touching the Fog Gate instead.
