Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1226 - 787: Too Sinister, Starfire Church_2

Hevi's self-explosion erased all traces of life of the rebel army here, even making Tracking Magic impossible to work—though everyone knows the rebels will surely flee to their headquarters.

So, the Holy Light Church preemptively deployed forces along the speculative escape routes of the rebels.

Unfortunately, the intercepting troops have yet to send back any news, which might not be a good sign.

The Holy Light Army in Hepa Town currently lacks the energy to manage the intercepting forces; they are barely coping with their own troubles.

Weapons are indeed degenerate products of Divine Artifacts. With one in hand, Hevi could contend with the Hero, and even after detonating parts of the Suffocating Dragon Tooth, it left a mess for the enemy.

The explosion caused by the Suffocating Dragon Tooth not only injured the bodies of the Holy Light Soldiers but also their spirits. Or rather, Hevi initially intended to harm the enemy's spirit, hence the physical damage of the explosion was deliberately reduced, while enhancing the spiritual harm.

Now, the soldiers most severely affected by the explosion lie on their beds with severe injuries, drooling incoherently, far from recovering to normalcy anytime soon.

This move has left the Holy Light Church with quite the headache.

Because, this means they can't utilize the Sain Dungeon's powers to heal more wounded individuals.

At some point, it became known that some people, after suffering serious injuries, would go to the campfire in the Sain Dungeon to commit suicide, then resurrect as healthy individuals, with only a slight headache as a consequence.

Compared to the costs of medical treatment for serious injuries, a headache seems almost trivial!

The Holy Light Church originally thought the same, hence their soldiers fought bravely, as long as they weren't dead.

However, Hevi's explosion severely compromised many wounded soldiers' minds.

These severely wounded soldiers, if they dared to go into the Sain Dungeon to commit suicide, would be further impaired upon resurrection, possibly causing irreversible damage.

The Sain Dungeon ejects those whose spiritual power has reached a dangerous threshold, but consistently admits those pushing the limit, leaving adventurers to bear the consequences.

Now, at least until their spirits recover, these severely injured soldiers can't enter the Sain Dungeon, and must remain in Hepa Town consuming medical resources.

In response, the Holy Light Church's doctors only wish to say:

"Damn it, Starfire Church!"

Through the window, Kaius watched the Civil Engineering Magicians dismantle one hazardous building after another, exhaled, and set down his Sound Transmission Magic Item.

"What's up, bro?"

For a moment, he seemed to hear his sister calling him, but quickly glanced down to find her lying "peacefully" on the bed, sleeping.

A very standard posture, hands laid on her chest, nearly resembling a morgue cadaver just lacking a white cloth over her face.

"..."

Kaius, with a darkened face, moved her hands to her sides, finally making her appear more alive.

Who on earth set this pose for him?

Anleisi too was affected by Hevi's big explosion during the battle. It seems she also took a hit from the Fire-breathing Dragon's Big Character Explosion Flame and Haunter's Mysterious Light, leaving her disoriented.

As a result, her spirit is equally severely damaged, though thankfully her Hero physique aids in a relatively good recovery speed.

Yet she remains unconscious, doctors say it will take two or three more days.

Kaius watched Anleisi a while longer, pursing his lips before finally refocusing on his work.

He looked at the conch-shaped Communication Tool in his hand, recalling the instructions from Bishop Megan.

Megan had urged them to dispatch forces into the Sain Dungeon for a grand slaughter as soon as they finished repairs, ideally sending in more personnel and killing more monsters.

But she didn't explain why.

Kaius sensed Megan's urgency in her tone and contemplated briefly why the rush, then understood.

To boost the soldiers' strength faster, of course!

Indeed, deploying more personnel into the Sain Dungeon is to seek usable treasures, and slaying more monsters is to harvest souls for upgrades!

While it doesn't appear obvious, surprisingly, Megan is quite devoted to the Church's development.

It sounds like Megan wants the soldiers to rest for a day or two before quickly entering the Sain Dungeon...but these are my soldiers, and I make the decisions.

One or two days of rest? Treating them like livestock? How can such high-intensity battles justify merely a day or two of rest?

At least three or four days!

And I will make up for the time lost in between.

Standing up, he emanated a strong, oppressive aura despite his efforts to conceal it.

With Anleisi still unconscious, his power remains at its peak state, the first time for such a prolonged duration, making him likely to feel uneasy once it fades.

Compared to the other soldiers, he suffered the least damage, his Hero physique enabling swift recovery, making him ideal to now explore the Sain Dungeon!

Indeed, compared to commanding an army, he is more adept at solo operations.

Kaius left the ward, patrolling Hepa Town.

The Holy Light Church's forces, well-trained, have established mature procedures for dealing with captured enemy cities, following a methodical approach to cleaning Hepa Town.

Given Hepa Town's relatively small size, surface cleaning will be completed quickly, transforming it into the Holy Light Church by night.

Even the prototype of the Holy Light Church has already been set up in the town center, and its aesthetics are quite online.

The only part requiring caution is underground, where rebels have dug considerable space, the intricate network slowing the Church's cleaning efforts.

It's a pity not finding the rebel army's intelligence... Kaius thought.

Hevi's big explosion cleared all rebel remnants, and the wounded were taken away, leaving only corpses for Kaius's team to see.

This is truly an incredible feat, but the rebels managed it.

At this time, a soldier hastily emerged from underground, clutching a pile of chaotic papers, his face brightening upon seeing Kaius, quickly ran over and said:

"Sir Kaius! I found it, useful intel!"

"What?" The news hit so suddenly that Kaius couldn't help but exclaim.

"There's more below; please hold on, we'll deliver it to you as soon as we organize it!"

The soldier eager to claim credit ran back, while Kaius started reviewing the papers.

He had barely flipped through a few when his habitual frown slightly relaxed.

Though many papers contained gibberish, there were authentic pieces!

"Sick Village exploration route..."

A rather detailed and exquisite map was in his hands!

Unexpectedly, the rebels developed Sain Dungeon to such an extent, with such high-level map drawings.

This acquisition genuinely spared the Holy Light Church significant effort!

How fortuitous that this came just as if by intent, like receiving a pillow when sleepy!

The gloom in Kaius's heart vanished, flipping through other papers containing some familiar and some completely foreign intel.

These documents cross-reference with memories in his mind, immediately boosting credibility; this is genuine!

Even this meticulous Hevi couldn't avoid a slip-up.

With this intelligence, Kaius squared his shoulders a bit more.

The next round is the Holy Light Church's turn!
