Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1209 - 778: Sorcery Fire (2)

Walking to the open space that had previously been hammered by the Highmore Hammer, the group took a short break and then began to observe the surrounding environment.

Similar plots of land like the one they were standing on were scattered across the swamp. On both sides were the mountain walls and the buildings of the Sick Village. These areas also had narrow spaces to stand on. Although narrow, they allowed for free movement, unlike the limited mobility in the swamp.

These clearings were specifically left for adventurers to catch their breath.

Of course, if they were capable, adventurers could use the clearings as a base to gradually clear out nearby monsters, which required someone to lure the monsters from afar.

At this moment, people saw a diseased undead wandering in the distant swamp, and the swamp leading to its location seemed to be bubbling, indicating lurking dangerous monsters.

"Let me handle it."

A Starfire Knight volunteered to step up and lure the monster over.

Using a Thunder Spear? I recall that the duration of such a miracle doesn't seem too long. Can it hit from this distance? This was Luluwo's thought.

Then she saw the Starfire Knight take off the hand armor on his left hand, and a bright red flame suddenly appeared in his palm, illuminating his entire hand in a deep red glow.

"Sorcery Flame?"

Luluwo immediately recognized what the Starfire Knight was holding, and felt surprised. She didn't expect someone among the Starfire Knights to have this.

More crucially, the aura of his Sorcery Flame was extraordinary, evidently having been fortified many times, completely different from the kind of basic product sold by Blacksmith Andre.

This person not only uses Sorcery Flame but has also fortified it to a high level?

A classic sorcery [Fireball] appeared in the Starfire Knight's hand.

[Sorcery: Fireball]

[The most basic sorcery of the Great Swamp Sorcerers, capable of summoning a fireball to throw at enemies]

[For the undead and beasts, these flesh-formed creatures should fear the flame, as the power of the fireball is formidable]

The muscles in the Starfire Knight's left arm bulged as he threw the fireball with an extremely standard pitching stance, causing an explosive sound in the air at the moment of release!

This person is naturally gifted at wielding fireballs!

"Boom!"

The fireball exploded on the animated corpse, instantly shattering its upper body into fragments, and the smell of burnt flesh wafted to the people's noses.

Does such basic sorcery possess this much power? No, it's the user's own qualities that are strong!

The monsters on the road were alarmed as well and began to surge over, quickly engaging everyone in battle.

Amidst the battle, Luluwo was amazed and asked, "It's the first time I've seen someone from the Starfire Church wield sorcery so powerfully."

"Ahaha, it was just an accident," the Starfire Knight said with a wry smile.

In the Sain Dungeon, if there was a kind of [magic] referred to by adventurers known to be the least popular, it would certainly be sorcery.

Because sorcery is the only [magic] that currently has no systematic acquisition method other than relying on luck to find magic book pages.

[Miracles] are widely available in various oath rewards, and the reputation of the Sun Warrior has popularized Thunder Spears, making miracles widely known.

As for [Magic], there's no need to mention it; the whole Reyalucaria Magic Academy is situated in the Sain Dungeon, readily available for those wanting to learn magic.

Teachers for [Prayers] have recently been discovered, one being Colin the bald clergy, and another being the giant turtle Mire in Lake Lienia.

Sorcery remains untaught, and the pages of sorcery magic books only appear in the Casas Underground Tomb and Endless Reincarnation. The sorcery available for exchange from Overlord Vonier's soul is the most powerful known, with an entry barrier elevated to a daunting level for ordinary people.

Hence, the matching Sorcery Flame for sorcery is rarely used, let alone fortified to a high level like the Starfire Knight in front of them.

"When I first heard about the Starfire Church, I greatly admired Gwyn, thinking since He was called the Fire God, all flames in the world must be blessed by Him, right? So, I got the Sorcery Flame and naively upgraded it with every Forging Stone I could buy."

"I also thought, with such high-level Sorcery Flame, I'd surely ascend to a high position upon joining the Church."

The Starfire Knight sighed as he spoke.

"Then after joining the Church, I realized, why is King Gwyn's signature skills miracles like the Thunder Spear?"

"How can a Fire God not use fire!?"

"My level of Sorcery Flame is totally wasted in the Church..."

"And Sorcery Flame can't be used for Prayers, even though both sorcery and prayers have [Fireball]..."

Such a tragic experience rendered Luluwo silent as she patted his shoulder in comfort.

The main issue is Gwyn never claimed to be a Fire God; such a title was given by the Starfire Church.

Undoubtedly, this Starfire Knight standing here is an unfortunate victim of insufficient information.

This kind of person... both pitiful and frustrating. A little more research beforehand would have prevented this situation.

By now, the attacking monsters had all been cleared, and the Starfire Knight had retracted his Sorcery Flame. After the group briefly cleaned up the battlefield, collecting light points and useful materials, they were about to leave.

At this moment, the Starfire Knight, who used Sorcery Flame, suddenly stopped and fell behind the group.

Is there a sound coming from behind?

He suspiciously turned around, only to find nothing but emptiness behind him.

However, in the next second, the scene in front of him made his breath halt for a moment.

The once empty air began to ripple, gradually showing colors.

A person appeared on the clearing, right in front of the smashed giant stone.

"Eh?"

The Starfire Knight was stunned. What is this, a residual shadow? An enemy attack? Other people who followed us in?

The suddenly appearing person was sitting on the ground and didn't appear very healthy. Her dark brown clothes looked somewhat dirty, but in the environment of the Sick Village, they seemed rather clean. In stark contrast to her clothes, beneath the hood that concealed her face, a snow-white chin was revealed.

Looking at the curve... is this a woman? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Others might not recognize it, but the Starfire Knight knew very well that the outfit this woman wore looked very familiar.

It resembles a [sorcerer] set, but it's more exquisite than that, similar to the attire encountered with sorcerers in Endless Reincarnation wearing sorcerer outfits.

Wait!

The Starfire Knight furrowed his brow again. Rather than saying this person's attire reminded him of the sorcerer set, it seemed he had seen such clothing somewhere before.

He was sure he'd seen it but couldn't remember where.

Just then, a somewhat ethereal and dreamlike voice emerged from under the person's hood. The voice was gentle as if there wasn't much distance with strangers, carrying a special charm.

"Is it an undead? How interesting that you can see me."

"You, who are you?"

For some unknown reason, the Starfire Knight felt his heart racing. He didn't know why, but it seemed like his Sorcery Flame was dancing with joy upon seeing this person?

"Reid, what are you doing over there?" A call from a companion came from behind the Starfire Knight Reid, followed by an exclamation.

"How did a person suddenly appear there!? Reid, you should move away quickly!"

The mysterious woman appeared not to pay any heed to the surprised people, merely introducing herself to the Starfire Knight.

"I am Klarna of Izalith."

"How rare for a human to see me... and possess talent."

She paused for a moment and then uttered something that made Reid's heart race.

"Are you here for my sorcery as well?"
