Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1195 - 772: Unexpected Intruders (Part 2)

"Tami, why are you being so timid? Let's just fight our way out!"

Without the obstacle of the big door, the previously faint noise now surged up, slamming into Hevi's face.

So noisy...

There were guards on duty outside the door, and upon seeing Hevi come out, one quickly said, "Hevi, someone is causing trouble over there, and they seem pretty strong. You should act quickly!"

"Troublemakers? Let me take a look first."

Hevi frowned as he looked towards the source of the commotion, not far from the Teleportation Gate of the Sain Dungeon.

People from various churches had formed a circle, surrounding something in a dense pack, with the atmosphere on site tense and ready to explode at any moment.

He heard the voice of those being surrounded. From the content, it didn't seem like those people were members of the present churches, no wonder they were being treated as suspicious individuals.

But the only problem is...

Hevi's expression became even more peculiar because a few of those voices sounded extremely familiar.

He stepped forward, and the noise from behind made the surrounders turn around to look, seeing Hevi approaching, and someone immediately smiled smugly and said, "You guys are done!"

What felt strange to Hevi was, why were there also people from the Wilderness Church smiling at him?

The smile was eerie and unsettling, what did it mean?

"This group suddenly appeared in the camp, claiming to be adventurers. Ridiculous, how could adventurers be here?"

"They might be spies sent by the Holy Light Church. Adventurers wouldn't dare to come even if they heard about the dungeon, especially since there's a war going on now."

People from the Starfire Church were supplying him with intelligence details.

Adventurers, they say? Could it be that they came after hearing the news about the Sain Dungeon?

That's quite bold of them.

Hevi couldn't help but feel curious about this bold group of people.

"We're done? It's you guys who are done for, you bastard!"

"Mila, Mila, calm down!"

Mila?

Upon hearing this name, Hevi's expression shifted oddly, and he pushed aside the crowd blocking his way, finally seeing the scene inside the encirclement.

Inside... were several men and women dressed entirely differently from the people of Scameroon.

Their style, how did it resemble the Kingdom of Yanor where he grew up?!

He had a strong sense of the strength of beings, and he immediately looked at the strongest person among them, a woman dressed entirely in black, who happened to be looking at him at the same time.

"Eh?"

"Huh?"

Their eyes met, and both simultaneously expressed surprise.

Hevi took off his mask, revealing a face so shocked that his mouth gaped open, pointing across.

The woman across pulled her hand out from her cloak, pointing back at him, unintentionally showing her figure beneath the large cloak, wrapped in tight-fitting clothes.

"Hevi!?"

"Funny Batman!?"

Hevi and Luluwo shouted each other's names at the same time.

"Hey, does the captain know these people?" Tami said in surprise.

"I think I've seen him, probably in Yanor Londo," Berto said, adjusting his glasses.

"Then there's no need to fight?" Mila relaxed her combat stance, looking questioningly at her companions around her.

"Probably?" Ais and Em remained vigilant, not canceling the magic in their hands.

Those appearing near the Sain Dungeon's Teleportation Gate were none other than the famous adventurer group in both the Yanor Kingdom and the Warrior Country—the Skyrim Strategy Group!

Their reputation claimed they could provide a complete strategy for any new area within a week, a super-popular strategy group!

"..."

Upon hearing Hevi's nickname for herself, Luluwo was briefly silent for a second and then, with no expression, drew her weapon and said coldly:

"No, I mistook you for someone else. It's shocking that an inherently evil monster disguised itself as someone I know. Watch me defeat you now."

"Wait, wait, I was just too surprised and misspoke earlier. Don't be so quick to attack." Hevi waved his hands repeatedly.

The tense atmosphere around them was dispelled by their antics, making it impossible to remain serious.

People looked at each other, though unclear about Hevi's relationship with these folks, everyone understood one thing.

There wouldn't be a fight. It was time to disband.

Not long after, inside the Starfire Church's camp.

"Make do with these seats. The camp was just set up, so everything's quite simple."

Hevi brought over a few chairs to the fireplace in the largest hut in the camp, inviting the Skyrim Strategy Group to sit. After everyone was seated, he asked, "How did you all end up here?"

As he posed the question, he remarked, "Truly remarkable of you guys. The news about Sain Dungeon's Teleportation Gate was just spread here not long ago, yet you've already arrived. As expected of the Skyrim Strategy Group."

"Uh....."

The youngest, Tami, scratched his head, looking like he wanted to say something but held back, with some mysterious black mud still sticking to his clothes.

"In fact, we didn't hear any news from Scameroon at all."

Berto sighed while speaking, glancing towards Luluwo, who was sipping tea from a cup.

"Finally got some water, I was almost dying of thirst."

Luluwo set down the nearly empty cup, looking back at Hevi, her expression turning woeful in an instant.

"We got duped by the Sain Dungeon!"

Her tone was plaintive, her voice filled with sorrow, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Hmm? Tell me more about it."

Hevi showed immediate interest.

He had mentioned before that he participated in the Elderly Crusade where Elsa was also involved. Even though his strength at that time was relatively weak in the team, he still knew some of the members.

For example, he had spoken to the likes of Luluwo and Fingerley, and due to their approachable nature, he got along well with them.

When he introduced himself to Luluwo as a Sun Warrior, she even let out a "yo" and remarked that she might have invaded him somewhere.

But after the Elderly Crusade, Hevi set off for Scameroon and gradually lost touch with adventurers.

To his surprise, fate was so peculiar that today he reencountered the Skyrim Strategy Group.

But how did they get here?

"We took on a commission from a Great Elf Mage to collect some body tissues from Elderly, so I personally entered the Sain Dungeon."

Luluwo's tone was filled with melancholy as she pitifully explained, "Initially, everything was going smoothly. We were on our way back and figured since we were already there, we might as well pick up some specialty goods from Yanor Londo, so we wandered around a bit."

"But as we kept walking, the scenes became increasingly unfamiliar, I swear I've never seen it before. I'd explored all of Yanor Londo before, but this seemed like a new path had extended out."

"We initially thought it was a new map and were quite happy. But as we walked on, our consciousness gradually blurred," Luluwo's expression became gritting her teeth "and when we came to, we found ourselves locked in a cell!"

She was probably referring to the Northern Undead Asylum.

"This... truly is a peculiar experience."

Can Hevi say he didn't quite grasp it?

From her words, it's clear Luluwo didn't really know how they ended up here.

"It certainly is peculiar. Anyway, I won't say much more. The elves are still waiting for me to deliver the goods." She stood up and asked, "How do we get back?"

Hevi hesitated for a moment before responding with a sympathetic expression:

"I'm sorry, but it seems you all might not be able to go back."

"...What?"

Luluwo was petrified.
