Fingerley had imagined many appearances for the Royal Artifact.

Since it had such a simple yet overwhelmingly majestic name, its appearance must also match that title, right?

Could it be a dazzling golden crown? Or maybe an ornate ceremonial item, or perhaps even some kind of jewelry.

But considering the Royal Artifact's effect of "housing souls," it might appear as some sort of container.

However, he never expected the Royal Artifact to actually look like a gigantic washbasin!

"You could even fit Aleya in there for a bath..."

He looked at the Royal Artifact standing before him, almost half his height, and for a moment didn't know where to start his sarcastic remark. All he could manage was:

"The gods living in Yanor Londo are truly simple."

"I'd say they're more like pragmatists." Matilda corrected him, looking at the Royal Artifact. "So, are we going to carry this thing back? I definitely won't do it. Carrying this thing makes me look like a turtle man."

"But I don't have the strength either, and you see, could I even carry something heavy like this? How about we let Bara try?"

Fingerley pointed at his own body; his left arm and shoulder were missing. Although it had healed, the wound indicated it was caused by being crushed by something extremely heavy, with traces of a lightning strike.

Once a Gold-level Adventurer who cooperated with the Hasavi Team, "Giant Gate" Bara pointed to the gaping hole in his own body and then shakily pointed to the wheelchair he had cobbled together with his shield, giving Fingerley a look of "Are you kidding me?"

Having someone who could now be classified as super disabled bear the Royal Artifact?

"That would indeed be a bit embarrassing..."

Fingerley scratched his head and looked around, scanning the people behind him.

Matilda's Hell's March was half destroyed; she seemed to walk as if partially paralyzed.

Aleya's true form had died; she was probably around the bonfire now, leaving only her remotely controlled little straw man here, which could only serve as a mascot.

"Giant Gate" Bara was already super disabled, while "Wild Blade" Alice had lost both legs and was clinging to Bara's wheelchair.

As for Ceder, president of the adventurer's guild Bed Branch, although he appeared to have no defects, he had exhausted his magic power. Rely on a magician's frail frame to carry the Royal Artifact... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As for the remaining comrades, it was impossible for them to come over; they had all heroically perished in the battle with the "Royal City Duo."

Now they were probably using Aleya's little straw man near the bonfire to watch the situation here. It was unlikely they could make it over.

A total of fifteen people challenged Yanor Londo, and now only five were left here, with only three still standing.

If not for the assistance of the Sun Warrior Solar, they might have all been wiped out.

"In the end, we still had to rely on Solar to defeat those two..."

Fingerley let out a sigh, but quickly adjusted his mood and murmured to himself:

"But five of us survived this time, which is much better than before. Our strength has significantly improved."

None of them found his words inappropriate.

Because this was indeed their best performance yet, far better than the times they challenged "Dragon Hunter" Ornstein and "Executioner" Smough.

Their strength had genuinely improved. With further research, perhaps one day they could clear Yanor Londo without Solar's strength?

Hopefully, that day would come soon.

Today marked the time for the Hasavi Team to launch an all-out attack on the Scameroon region of Yanor Londo.

He called upon his old friends with whom he had once fought Elderly; except for Hero Elsa and Luluwo, all arrived, gathering fifteen elite combatants of Gold-level Adventurer rank.

The Hasavi Team was there to improve their strength, Ceder dropped by from Hepa Town, while the others had their own motives, though mostly focused on rewards.

For adventurers of their level,

such a luxurious team naturally triggered Sain Dungeon's dynamic balance mechanism. However, the monsters had their enhancement limits. The Giant Guards couldn't be enhanced to the strength of Steel Giant Puppets, so while Fingerley and his team weren't invincible, they advanced smoothly by being cautious.

Moreover, the early maps of Yanor Londo were identical to those they experienced in the Painting World, which avoided much early resource consumption and allowed them to use their supplies for later battles. Truly, everything came together perfectly.

In the end, after summoning the assisting Sun Warrior Solar, and enduring a tough battle, they finally defeated Ornstein and Smough again.

Thanks to the strategies summarized by the Skyrim Strategy Group, they knew to focus fire on the stronger Ornstein first, allowing the relatively weaker Smough, even with Ornstein's power enhancement, to pose no significant threat.

If they defeated Smough first, they would face an enhanced version of Ornstein with limitless combos using a sliding spear, a scenario truly despairing enough that even Solar might perish trying it.
