Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1229 - 789: A Chill of Revulsion

Kaius, who was in the Sain Dungeon, shivered for no reason.

"..."

What's going on?

It feels like I've been targeted by some extremely ominous presence!

This feeling, like a thorn in my back, to be honest, hasn't been experienced in a long time, and it'll never be something to get used to, no matter when.

Maybe... it's a monster?

Kaius could only guess, after all, given the current situation inside the dungeon, he's not very adept at handling it.

In other words, no one can guarantee they can handle everything that happens inside a dungeon, let alone in the Sain Dungeon.

Never underestimate any dungeon, or you'll die a horrible death.

He had heard of an arrogant Holy Light Knight who entered the Cangyin Dungeon without bringing a Teleportation Crystal and ended up blown to ashes by a Destruction Mushroom, beyond saving.

Thankfully, there are no Destruction Mushrooms in the Sain Dungeon.

"Lord Kaius, shall we explore according to the hints on this?"

A soldier looked at the map from left to right, holding a copied version while the original had been urgently sent to headquarters.

Yes, follow the map.

Kaius nodded, and the soldiers understood this from the degree of his nod.

But then he shook his head.

But not entirely according to it, that's probably what he meant.

The soldiers thought for a moment, then with a sudden expression of realization, indicated they understood.

Kaius was known in the Holy Light Church for not being talkative, so how should one communicate with him?

Those familiar with him knew that watching the extent of his nods and shakes and visualizing a bit themselves would allow them to imagine what he meant.

Ironically, this seemingly unreliable method was effective, and now it's Kaius who speaks that surprises people.

After all, the map in their hands was from the Starfire Church, and couldn't be fully trusted.

Kaius, who had dealt with Hevi for so long, knew a bit about his temperament; it wasn't impossible for traps to be dug on the map.

So he didn't trust the map left by the Starfire Church!

Absolutely not!

Therefore, he had other information as a reference.

Thinking this, a palm-sized notebook appeared in his hand, filled with neat handwriting and interspersed with detailed hand-drawn maps.

This is the notebook of the famous adventurer, uncrowned exploration master, the bat soaring in the night—Luluwo!

He confiscated it from an adventurer!

After capturing Hepa Town, although the Holy Light Church didn't capture any rebel prisoners, they did have some unexpected gains.

That being the adventurers the rebel army sheltered in the town.

Most adventurers escaped, but a few greedy ones tried to take advantage amidst the chaos but ended up with no opportunity to use what they gained.

They took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Skyrim Strategy Group's room and stole many strategies, only for those gains to end up in the hands of the Holy Light Church.

Thanks to these people's testimonies, Kaius discovered that the Skyrim Strategy Group, whose fame reached Scameroon, was actually helping the rebels explore the dungeon!

Though annoying, one had to admit that Luluwo's team was quite skilled, and these strategies were extremely enlightening.

They also cleared up why the rebel army's strategies were so detailed.

Cross-referencing Luluwo's notebook with the map left by the rebels, he indeed found several minuscule traps, easy to fall into without care.

Sure enough, Hevi had indeed left traps.

But he never imagined that the hard-earned pits he dug were inadvertently deciphered by those greedy adventurers!

Seeing through the arch-enemy's traps put Kaius in a good mood.

The rebel map was only for reference; Luluwo's notes were the definitive answer, and he now trusted the famous adventurer very much.

This is probably the effect of reputation, automatically increasing others' trust.

Let me see, according to the notes, we should go this way now...

Kaius glanced at their current location, the Fire Transmission Ceremony, and then followed the strategy's hint towards the road to the Undead Town Outside the City, with the soldiers following closely.

The Sain Dungeon had a record for each person, and these soldiers were those who had gone in before, so now they all appeared in the Fire Transmission Ceremony.

Starting from scratch at the Northern Undead Asylum would be too time-consuming, but honestly, starting from the Fire Transmission Ceremony wasn't very advanced in progress either.

Their target was Sick Village, which, according to Luluwo's notes, was a place where one could learn sorcery, a powerful skill.

The rebel army, by mastering sorcery, gave the Holy Light Church's forces a surprise, significantly increasing the battle's damage, corroborating its formidable power.

If it could be equipped on a large scale to soldiers, it would definitely help boost their strength, which was the purpose of this journey.

But the only concern for Kaius was whether sorcery would be incompatible with the Holy Light Church.

The Holy Light Church's specialty is called Holy Light Magic, which is different from ordinary Light Magic, with learning paths tightly controlled by the church, requiring one to join to learn, and even different levels have different teachings.
