Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1225 - 787: The Starfire Church Is Too Sinister

One day after the battle in Hepa Town.

In Bishop Megan's secret room at the Holy Light Church.

"Damn it, what kind of great victory is this!"

Accompanied by Megan's angry voice, it seemed something was heavily smashed onto the ground.

Fortunately, no one was nearby to witness her moment of losing composure.

"What do you mean by saying that although more than half of the soldiers were severely injured and unable to fight, driving away the rebel army counts as a great victory? Who wrote this report? No matter how exaggerated, it shouldn't be written this way!"

After venting her frustrations, she calmed down somewhat, let out a long sigh, and tossed the report she intended to throw on the floor onto a nearby table instead.

The battle had ended, and it was the Holy Light Church's victory.

Credit must also be given to the Dark Moon Church. After all, the "Magic Sky Curtain" that reversed the entire battlefield situation was their technology.

Whether it was the hero Kaius going all out or the battlefield-covering Magic Sky Curtain, any of these alone sufficed to give the rebel army a tough time, let alone these two major forces combined; the Holy Light Church's victory was almost a foregone conclusion.

This was something she already knew before the army set out, assured that her army would definitely win.

Megan had specifically researched the Sain Dungeon, or perhaps there was a specific department within the Holy Light Church researching various dungeons, with the current focus being Sain.

They discovered that the Sain Dungeon had "bonfire" and "blessing" that could rapidly enhance an entrant's abilities, raising an ordinary person's levels to those of a seasoned warrior. Skills could be supplemented with combat magic, no wonder it had numerous loyal customers.

The Holy Light Church collected vast amounts of data on individuals enhancing their strength inside the Sain Dungeon, acquiring thousands or even tens of thousands of data sets, which, after analysis, led to a conclusion:

Although the Sain Dungeon could enhance the entrant's strength, there seemed to be rare cases of exponential growth in strength; rather, people progressed little by little—except for those wealthy enough to buy numerous soul blocks.

It's almost like the Sain Dungeon had precisely calculated this, with a clear intention in control.

The Holy Light Church categorized this data by different strength levels, discovering an average rate of strengthening in Sain appropriate for each level, slowing down the stronger an individual became.

Megan timed her calculations accordingly, choosing Anleisi and the others to launch an attack yesterday.

The timing coincidentally was when the improved version of United Strength was developed, and the rebel army hadn't strengthened far beyond the past.

The outcome was as she expected, victory was easily claimed. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"But what is with this unbearable battle damage...."

The report mentioned various unexpected resistance methods appearing from the rebel army, making the entire battle more challenging than imagined.

The biggest variable was Hevi, who could have swiftly crumbled before the full force of the hero, had grown to temporarily spar, and even detonated the Suffocating Dragon Tooth covering most of Hepa Town in the end, inflicting critical injuries on Holy Light Soldiers and threatening the comatose Anleisi, forcing Kaius to abandon the fight and turn to defend.

Under the cover of this massive explosion, the rebel army successfully retreated, even having time to manage resources from the warehouse, conducting the whole retreat smoothly without much disorder.

Why does it feel like they rehearsed the retreat procedure in advance...

Thinking of this, Megan's expression suddenly twitched, but considering the presence of Starfire Church, such pre-rehearsed retreat wouldn't be impossible.

The main reason was that Hevi was ruthless enough, detonating unknown quantities of Suffocating Dragon Tooth and pre-laid explosives, even controlling the explosive power to injure but not kill Holy Light Church soldiers, draining its medical resources.

Seeing the army's battle loss condition now made Megan feel little joy from this report declaring victory.

"Forget it, let's focus on the distant Sain Dungeon."

As Megan couldn't reach the Sain Dungeon now, and entirely didn't wish to go near, she relied on Communication Tools to relay orders to Anleisi and the others.

Currently, Anleisi was still unconscious, so theoretically Kaius should be the one listening.

She picked up a magic tool shaped like a conch, placed it to her ear, infused magic power, and waited a while. Upon hearing faint breathing without speech from the other side, she confirmed that Kaius answered the communication.

Without any excessive formalities, she straightforwardly stated:

"I am here to end the Sain Dungeon!"

Now, Hepa Town.

Originally flourishing under the rebel army's construction, Hepa Town returned to a state of desolation after this battle—no, this degree can't even be called desolation; it's outright ruin.

Hard to believe, even after such a large-scale battle, Hepa Town managed to maintain its overall appearance, with certain buildings still standing, aside from severely damaged city walls, it was still somewhat presentable.

However, to a magician's eyes, this city wasn't nearly as "healthy" as it seemed, internally completely destroyed, leaving only an empty shell, a touch might lead to collapse.
