Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 540 The So-called Demigod

There is no winner in this desperate battle royale in Stonewell City.

Both the adventurers and soldiers were severely damaged physically and mentally.

Adventurers are always worried about being caught up by monsters, and if they are caught up, they will definitely be cut into pieces.

The monsters were driven around by the adventurers' flexible movements, and sometimes they were chopped half to death by a sword. What's more, there were more people on their side, and the floor inside Stonewell City was full of holes. If they were not careful, they would fall down and start all over again. They suffered even more torture than the adventurers.

It’s a pity that monsters cannot emit mental power, otherwise the Sen Dungeon could make a lot of money from monsters.

I'm afraid the people who designed this place never thought that so many people would hang out in here at the same time. If it were a computer game, it would have been stuck by now.

"Hurry, hurry, get up here!"

Fortunately, the route to Stonewell City in the early stage was not particularly tortuous, and people did not rush around like headless flies. At least there was an obvious way out wherever they could see.

As they ran, they found a large elevator leading to the upper level and boarded the elevator before the pursuers came over.

"Rumble"

The elevator roared, and it sounded as if the mechanism was old and would fall down at any time. However, the sound that would have caused panic in people in the past now gave people a sense of security.

At least if they were on the elevator, it meant they didn't have to worry about being pursued for the time being.

"We are safe, for now."

Yufei was already out of breath, holding her knees and gasping for breath. The others were even more exhausted. Tepi looked like he was about to die from excessive exhaustion. Fortunately, Edgar released the group recovery technique in time, which allowed people to regain some ability to move.

When the elevator took them to the upper level, everyone hurried down.

The pursuers below also pulled the lever of the elevator, and the elevator slowly descended. Judging from the situation, it would not be long before the ladder that saved the adventurers would bring the pursuers up with it.

Tepi was about to cut the rope of the elevator, but Yufei stopped him immediately and said, "Wait a moment, wait a moment."

After the pursuers had boarded the elevator and the ladder slowly rose to a certain height, Yufei used all his strength to cut the rope supporting the ladder.

All that could be heard was the panicked voices of the pursuers and the heavy sound of something falling to the ground. The elevator, which was seriously overloaded with monsters, crashed to the ground with a loud bang!

The adventurers immediately felt a lot of golden runes flowing into their bodies, bringing them a very pleasant feeling.

"Will this temporarily eliminate the threat?" Tepi asked worriedly.

"Maybe it's okay, probably." Edgar continued to bombard the lower level with various magics. The fall just now could certainly take the life of the soldier, but it could not kill the more powerful Lost Home Knight.

Fortunately, even if they didn't fall to their death, they couldn't find the way up for the time being, and the fat Son of Omen had even less chance.

"Alright, alright, they can't get up here."

Yuffie, who was soaked in sweat, stopped Edgar from wasting his magic power and sat down on the ground as if relieved.

After coming to the Sen Dungeon for so long, this is the first time that she feels so thrilling, as if she is really dancing on the edge of a knife.

Just this one trip has exhausted all the mental energy of the group for the next few days, and they are exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Did you hear the bell ringing in the dungeon just now?" Fann asked as he lay on the ground without caring about his image and closed his eyes to rest.

"I seemed to have heard it, but I didn't pay much attention to it." Isa looked exhausted.

"According to my timing, it should not be time to close the door yet." Edgar said confidently.

Yuffie took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said, "No, it's really almost closing time. We have less than half an hour left."

"." Edgar was silent for a moment, then said with emotion: "Human power is indeed limited."

"What are you sighing about? How did you get into this?" Fann complained seriously.

People were lying on the ground exhausted, wishing to stay there until the dungeon was closed and they couldn't get out. Someone started the conversation, saying, "It's worthy of being a demigod's city. These soldiers look so powerful."

So everyone started talking and complaining about the pursuers they had just encountered.

"That Lost Home Knight is really tough. I can't hit him no matter how hard I try." Tepi rubbed his sore arm.

"That's because you haven't learned any really useful magic. To fight a guy in heavy armor, you should use magic like [Shock Wave] instead of your outdated fighting skills." Edgar promoted his idea of ​​magic supremacy anytime and anywhere.

"That white lion that I couldn't catch up with also seemed very strong. I have a feeling it will be a fierce battle no matter if we meet it in an open or narrow place." After Vann transformed into a beast, he became much more sensitive to wild beast-like enemies.

"It's hard for my pistol to penetrate their armor." Isa looked a little depressed.

Yu Fei, on the other hand, had been trying to close his eyes and rest his mind. When people had finished complaining, he said, "Let's go and have a look somewhere else."

"Do you want to continue exploring?" This time, even Fann was too exhausted to do it.

"We made a lot of noise just now, and there are still a large number of enemies wandering around the elevator. Do you know what this means?" Yufei asked.

It only took Vann a moment to think about it and understand what she meant.

"You mean, we've disrupted the positions of the enemies in Stonewell City, so maybe this is a good opportunity to advance quickly?"

"That's right, this kind of opportunity doesn't come along every day." Yufei snapped his fingers and ordered people to get up from the ground, leave the room where the elevator was, and walk outside.

Just as she said, the personnel arrangements of Stonewell City were all messed up because of the chaos just now. Many places where enemies should be hiding were now empty, and it felt relaxing to explore them.

They were now on top of the inner city wall of Stonewell, from where they could overlook the entire city, including the charred gate tunnel and the deserted square - everyone in the square had come to chase them.

To some extent, it seems that the difficulty of exploration has indeed been reduced a lot, but who knows how much uncertainty has been added.

The group advanced along the city wall, and discussed for a while whether or not to climb up the criss-crossing beams, but in the end they obediently went down the city wall, walked around the winding road for a while, and entered an unattended hall that looked like a restaurant.

It's not that there is no one on duty, but the Lost Knights who were originally patrolling here were attracted away by the noise they made.

"I'm so lucky there's a treasure chest."

Tepi found a treasure chest in the corner. When he opened it, he saw purple spots of light, which made him very happy. However, when he picked it up, he found that it was not the powerful weapon he had imagined, but a veil-like thing.

【Mimetic Veil】

[A light brown veil with a slender design, infused with magic, which can allow the wearer to mimic various objects]

[This is one of the treasures that Greg took out when he was driven out of the royal city of Rodel]

[It is said that during the Shattering War, Greg, the last descendant of the Golden Family, failed in his attempt to seize control of the royal city of Rodel, and had to rely on this thing to disguise himself as a woman and escape from the royal city among a group of women. However, it is unknown whether this is a true story or an unfounded rumor.]

Looking at this thing, Tepi was silent for a while, and after a while he called everyone and said, "Come and take a look at this."

Everyone fell silent after watching it.

"Is this what a demigod would do?" For the first time, Vann was puzzled by the title.

No matter how you look at it, Greg's incident is a bit too embarrassing.

"Calm down, calm down," Yufei said, "Maybe after this, he worked hard to become stronger and finally achieved the title of demigod?"

Although everyone was still suspicious, there was no way to verify it for the time being, so they had to give up.

It’s just that they have more doubts about the value of the title of “demigod”.

After walking around for a while, the group arrived at the lowest level. They turned around and came to a dimly lit hall.

Right next to the entrance to the hall there was a small, untriggered elevator that could be used to climb directly to the starting point of the city wall.

Before everyone had time to admire the exquisite interior design of the city, they were attracted by the scenery in the hall.

The bloody smell rushed into my nose, and all I could see were various kinds of meat hanging from the beams, almost covering the entire roof. The fishy smell made me feel uncomfortable.

At first glance I thought it was a kitchen, but upon closer inspection I realized it was a slaughterhouse.

Because the meat hanging up was clearly all human limbs! No, there were also limbs that did not look like humans mixed in.

Long, short, fat, thin, covered with cloth, wearing armor... all kinds of arms were hung up!
Edgar's face suddenly turned ugly. He immediately covered his mouth and made an uncomfortable sound in his throat. However, he was shocked by the reactions of others.

Because Yufei and the others didn't react at all, at most they just nodded.

When they were in Reed, they were used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so these hanging limbs and arms could not cause any big reaction in them.

And under those hellish broken arms, a giant crab was lying quietly in the middle of the hall, seemingly in a deep sleep.

Looking more closely, there is no big crab at all, it is clearly a noble who has had his limbs reattached!

Upon seeing this familiar guy, everyone present couldn't help but draw their weapons. Everyone who had been to Sen would have a different emotion towards the limbed nobles - murderous intent.

"No, he's not in the right state."

Vann's nose twitched, and when he got closer, he saw that the nobleman with the limb graft had clearly been dead for a long time.

"This"

People put away their weapons with regret. Whipping a corpse was not a good idea, and there was nothing on the other person that could be found, so they simply bypassed his body.

Looking through the broken limbs, something caught everyone's attention.

It was a huge portrait hanging on the wall.

The strong man in the portrait is standing with an axe in his hand, with waves and storms under his feet. He seems to have conquered everything with his great strength. The white lion is resting on his shoulders, which must be his close comrade-in-arms.

"Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere?" You Fei narrowed her eyes. The more she looked at the portrait, the more familiar the man looked.

"'The King of the Beginning' Gelfrey, he is the original King of Elden, the Lord of this city, and the ancestor of Greg."

A familiar voice came from the side, and people looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Roger.

He covered his chest and looked uncomfortable, but he still smiled politely at people:
"Nice to meet you again, everyone. Your numbers have increased again."
