Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1221 - 785: I’ve Changed My Tactics_2

The dwarves noticed the deadly moats from a distance and quickly stopped their advance. However, amidst the continuous trembling of the earth, the ground behind them silently cracked.

"Boom!"

The ground instantly shattered, and the dwarves at the back fell straight into the bottomless abyss!

The rebel mages channeled their magic power, causing the acid slimes from the moat to surge out, rushing towards the Holy Light Church like an evil natural flood!

But at that moment, a strong wind blew up from the abyss where the dwarves were falling, lifting them back with expressions of fear and confusion on their faces.

"I’m still a magician after all, trying to do this in front of me?"

Anleisi used her Flying Skill to rise into the air. Behind her, the Holy Light Army maintained their charging stance, their speed unabated as they rushed towards the crack in the ground and the acid!

The dwarven mercenaries caught in the middle were dumbfounded, unsure whether to advance or retreat, as advancing seemed like it would lead to death by corrosion.

The tremors in the ground became more intense, causing the horses to struggle to stand, as if two invisible forces were battling.

The next moment, the rebel mages could no longer support themselves and staggered, while Anleisi frowned but had a victorious smile on her lips.

The vast magic power erupted in her hands, rapidly healing the crack that the rebel mages had painstakingly created until, when the Holy Light Soldiers charged over, they stepped on flat ground!

Fighting against a group of mages single-handedly, the hero’s power was evident!

However, the rebel army was not to be trifled with. If, after all these days of preparation, they were still defeated by one person, all those mages might as well be fed to the Magic Tentacle Monsters to breed! At least their offspring could still fight on the battlefield when grown!

Endless plants began to grow frantically around Hepa Town. Huge alien plants surged towards the Holy Light Knights, their surfaces soon covered in gold that significantly weakened magical power. This was the combined effort of the Wilderness Church and the Golden God Sect.

Various strange monsters flew in the sky, led by a Fire-breathing Dragon from the Sain Dungeon! Skeleton Undead Soldiers emerged from the ground and merged into the sea of plants. Invisible, hallucinogenic powder silently approached the enemy...

Other churches had also made their moves, with various elements and effects intertwining and blending on the scene, making it overwhelming to watch.

It really had the vibe of a "ragtag army."

The Holy Light Church had faced these enemies countless times and knew their abilities well. Facing the massive offensive, they also employed a variety of strategies.

In the past, the rebel army’s tactics, except for the Thunder Spear, had countermeasures from the Holy Light Church, and today they even had a way to counter the Thunder Spear. It should have been a sweeping victory.

However, accidents come unexpectedly. The Holy Light Church had just banned the opponent’s Thunder Spear, only for the opponent to pull out a sorcery equally powerful the next moment...

It was all because of Sain Dungeon; this cursed dungeon was inherently at odds with the Holy Light Church!

Anything involving Sain Dungeon never turned out well!

Anleisi even suspected that when they conquered Hepa Town and began developing the Sain Dungeon, the other side would cause trouble again.

This battle, filled with special effects, didn’t last long. Once both sides became familiar with each other’s moves, all that was left was a fast-paced duel of bombardment.

At the cost of nearly eliminating the Dwarf Mercenaries—though that seemed not much of a price—the majority of the Holy Light Soldiers were injured, and the Holy Light Knights also suffered losses. Finally, the army reached the town, well, town down.

The Holy Light Church’s situation didn’t look good, but the rebel army wasn’t optimistic either. Their forces were inherently weaker, and although their various means had harmed the enemy, it hadn’t leveled the playing field. A siege war now would still be unfavorable to them.

But as both sides stood close, something miraculous happened; no one moved.

No soldier initiated an attack; they just watched each other.

Until Anleisi, surrounded by Holy Light, floated to the front of the army, and Hevi jumped down from the city wall, forming dragon wings with his weapon to reach the same height as Anleisi.

Everyone was old acquaintances, having fought for so long without deciding the victor. Each battle had been interrupted by various accidents, leaving only mixed outcomes.

"As usual, should we start fighting right here?" Hevi asked, stretching his body. His tone seemed more like arranging a street fight than a war.

"Here is fine too, letting your soldiers witness your embarrassing defeat would surely crush their morale." Anleisi was also infected by the street-fight vibe.

"Hehe, sorry, we’re not unified internally. My loss wouldn’t affect morale."

Hevi had prepared himself, his armor reinforced with an additional layer of Dragon Scale for defense, making him appear larger. Strangely, he wasn’t holding any weapon... Was he planning to fight bare-handed?

Seeing this, Anleisi put away her smile. She knew Hevi must have gained some power boost from the Sain Dungeon these days, but just how much had he been enhanced?

There’s no way he would instantly defeat me, right? That would be too unreasonable.

Perhaps they had fought so much that they knew each other’s bodies well, fostering a tacit understanding and unspoken rules between them, as seen now.

Various lights emerged from Anleisi, indicating the activation of numerous Enhancement Magic spells. Well-used, such magic could transform combat power drastically, like how Dal once stacked buffs to strike Artorias.

However, at that moment, she glanced at Hevi in surprise, as if to say: Why haven’t you started stacking buffs yet?

How could Hevi fight without enhancements?

Unless he could split into two.

But that was impossible, a person wasn’t a slime.

"Oh, I’ve changed my tactic."

Hevi suddenly pulled out... a bell?

"Ding-a-ling~"

He gently shook it, producing a clear sound.

Then, a transparent, nearly colorless slime-like creature appeared beside him.

"Wait a minute, this thing?" Anleisi involuntarily took a step back; she seemed to recall seeing this thing in the latest report from the church, but it was the first time seeing it in person.

The "slime" released a smoke that obscured visibility, and when the smoke cleared, something miraculous occurred.

A "person" identical to Hevi stood there!

The aura, strength, and life force were exactly the same!

On closer inspection, the life force seemed even more vibrant than Hevi’s, giving a super "tank" impression.

It was just a nearly transparent version, except for the color, indistinguishable from the real person.

"Biomimetic Tear Drop?" Anleisi blurted the name, her eye twitching.

"You know this, huh? Of course, how could you not?"

Hevi glanced at the Biomimetic Tear Drop beside him and suddenly started casting various Beneficial Magic spells on himself.

The Biomimetic Tear Drop naturally benefited too, sharing all the buffs.

No wonder he waited until now to stack buffs!

"This is some new stuff sent from HQ, got it through connections with Leon, and now it’s with me."

Hevi’s joints cracked as he clenched his fists, with the Biomimetic Tear Drop following suit, both "people" seemingly grinning under their helmets.

"This is high-end stuff that vanishes after one use, so you better enjoy the experience."

"!"

Anleisi shivered, her skin prickling—she really hated it when Hevi pulled out strange new things.

Every new item meant bad luck for her.

Hevi patted the Biomimetic Tear Drop on the shoulder affectionately, like a dear brother, and said:

"Brother, next move, I’ll defend, you attack."
