Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 638 Michaela has bewitched you

The Michaela water lily is considered a rather rare item.

Adventurers familiar with the Sien Dungeon know that this plant can only be found in Lake Lienia, and it is often guarded by powerful monsters. Some of them are even immature and need to be guarded in the dungeon for several days before they mature.

People discovered that placing the Mikaela Water Lily on illusion-type magic rituals could enhance the ritual's effects dramatically, and it also had a more powerful auxiliary effect on other types of illusion magic, even allowing for the development of new rituals around it.

Therefore, the Michaela water lily is highly sought after by certain groups of people, and the market has always been in short supply.

Fudolin didn't understand these complicated details. All she knew was that a couple of days ago she saw Tammy excitedly carrying a Mikaela water lily back from the dungeon, and that very night he treated everyone to a super luxurious meal.

So she touched this rare plant with the idea of ​​having another big meal.

However, just as she was about to touch the Mikaela water lily, it suddenly disappeared, replaced by an alluring branch stuck to her skin.

What's going on? This thing can actually pierce my skin!?

Her instincts told her something was wrong, and she was about to pull the alluring branch off and throw it aside when...

This thing emitted a light.

A mesmerizing light flickered in Fudolin's eyes, and for a moment she was dazed as her vision was filled with soft white light.

What a warm feeling!
Strands of golden threads drifted from behind, their soft golden light making them exceptionally beautiful to behold.

No, that's not silk thread, it's long golden hair!
It was as if the owner of that long hair was standing right behind her at that moment.

But Fudoline felt that she could not turn back, or rather, her body was not obeying her commands and she could not move.

A ticklish sensation came from her neck, and it seemed as if someone was whispering something in her ear with soft breaths.

"————————"

"Fudolin? What's wrong?"

Luluwo turned her head and suddenly realized that Fudolin, who had been following the group, was gone. Looking closer, she saw that Fudolin was squatting on the edge of a cliff not far away, with large crows in the Blood Lake cawing at her, making the scene particularly jarring.

However, even in such a jarring environment, the perceptive Fudolin, contrary to her usual behavior, did not offer a solution, but instead just squatted there blankly.

Something's not right, this is really not right!
Everyone realized what was happening and cautiously moved closer to Fudolin, each adopting a wary posture.

Just then, Fudoline suddenly stood up!
Everyone was startled and raised their weapons.

However, the opponent did not attack their teammates as in a classic mind-control scenario, exhibiting unexpected behavior.

When she first stood up, she was still swaying a little, and her face showed a dazed expression.

But almost within a second, all the strangeness disappeared, her eyes cleared again, and she looked around with a strange expression, saying, "What's wrong? Why is everyone surrounding me?"

She looks exactly the same as normal now, even more innocent-looking.

"You, you don't feel anything is wrong?" Luluwo asked cautiously.

They hadn't noticed anything unusual about the other person; they just saw the other person squatting to the side, staring at something without saying a word, and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Since Fudolin is acting so normally now, does that mean she was actually fine just now?
"No, did you call me just now? I don't think I noticed."

She waved her hand and said as she walked further down the road, "I didn't expect everyone to be so vigilant. They seem very professional. Let's keep going. I want to see what comes up next."

The people looked at each other in bewilderment. Out of caution, they followed Fudolin's footsteps and cast several status-checking spells, all of which returned normal results.

This should prove everything is alright. What a false alarm.

People resumed the normal exploration process, making progress little by little.

However, not long after, something strange happened.

"Wait a minute, Fudolin, why are you walking so fast!?"

Just as everyone was fighting the Platinum Child who had ambushed them, Fudolin blasted away the monsters that were entangled with her with two powerful punches and strode quickly toward the unexplored area ahead.

The others were still fighting the monsters and could only watch as she marched outside with unwavering momentum.

After everyone finally managed to kill the monster and catch up, they saw that the monster was entangled with other monsters again. They smashed them apart with a few punches and continued walking forward without caring whether the monsters were dead or not.

The surviving monsters naturally turned their attention to the Skyward Strategy Team.

Luluwo and her companions had no choice but to keep fighting. After finishing, they would quickly give chase, only to find that their opponent had lured away a large group of monsters, and so on, repeating the process.

After repeating this several times, everyone was exhausted and panting. The surrounding scenery changed imperceptibly, but no one paid any attention.

Fudolin, on the other hand, continued walking forward with great enthusiasm, as if she would never feel tired, as if she were carrying some kind of mission.

"I can't take it anymore, ugh, I'm so tired."

Even Luluwo couldn't help but lean against the mountainside and pant heavily.

Although they are skilled, they can't withstand this relentless, marathon-like battle. They're already exhausted.

Tammy crouched down, panting heavily, and said in a broken voice, "Something must have happened to Fudolin. We have to control her."

The other person's current appearance is as if they are being mentally manipulated.

"Let's follow her first, and remember to use invisibility magic to see what's going on with her."

After discussing it, the group used invisibility magic to cover their bodies before attracting the attention of other monsters, and followed silently and swiftly.

I really have to thank my tutor, Orbeck, at the Rhea Lucaria Magic Academy. Thank you for teaching me all the magic of invisibility and the ability to eliminate footsteps.

As if summoned, Fudolin moved straight ahead, running relentlessly in a certain direction. Neither the winding roads, the ambushing monsters, nor the white mask resembling Vanre that warned her of intrusion could stop her.

A fervent light shone in her eyes; her goal was clear.

That's the palace perched atop the mountain!

At this moment, what she was thinking was—

Kill the Blood King hiding there!

Closer, the palace is closer, so close that one can even see the sky that seems to be stained with blood-red flames. An eerie light emanates from the sky where darkness and blood-red blend, bathing one's entire body in its glow.

She didn't even need the elevator to the top of the mountain. Dragon scales instantly grew on her hands and feet, and she grabbed the rock face of the mountain and quickly climbed upwards, transforming into a streak of light and appearing on the summit in an instant.

Glancing past the burning flames of blood on the ground, past the dilapidated and unfinished palace, past the strange scenery around us.

Fudolin raised her head and looked directly at the object located in the very center of the palace.

A giant cocoon!
