Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 756 Sain, You're the real jinx!

why?
what is this?
Why is the Sien Dungeon still chasing me?!
"Holy Light, grant me reason, calm me from my fear."

Bishop Megan knelt devoutly before the statue of the God of Light, her voice uttered in the tone of a truly devout believer, though a slight tremor in her voice disrupted the balance.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately shifted from "devout believers praying" to "less devout believers wagging their tails and begging for mercy."

"Holy Light, grant me peace, grant me the courage to face evil."

She was reciting a long prayer, which would only make ordinary people dizzy, but for believers of the Holy Light, such lines were basic skills. How could one call oneself a believer if they hadn't memorized the ninety-nine types of prayers to the gods and the eight hundred and thirty-one miracles of the God of the Holy Light?
Megan, as a bishop, memorized these things in less than half a month, without the aid of any drugs or magical items, relying purely on her own talent and...
The will to survive.

"Holy Light, grant me this! Damn it, why is this getting more and more annoying?! This God of Holy Light is completely useless!"

To reiterate, Megan memorized those tedious, even mind-numbingly difficult, long passages through her own talent and will to survive.

There's absolutely no faith involved.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The scattered beads, under the pressure of an invisible force, burst open and exploded into tiny crystal fireworks.

The facade of piety was instantly torn away from his face, and the negative emotions inside erupted like a volcano!
Her long hair, which she had clearly put a lot of effort into tying up, was now flying wildly in all directions because of her anger. If it had been any more outrageous, she would have transformed into a Super Saiyan. However, her hair color had lost its luster due to fear in addition to her anger, and it looked no different from ordinary blonde hair.

"Sinn Dungeon has moved here, so isn't that the same as staying in the Kingdom of Anor?!"

The scattered, shattered crystal shards formed tiny mirror-like surfaces, reflecting Megan's face.

It was a beautiful face, exuding the charm of a mature woman, and the church attire added an alluring sense of asceticism. It was just a pity that her features, which bore some resemblance to Leon and Tepi, were now distorted by negative emotions.

On the surface, it appears to be anger, but in reality, it reveals fear, cowardice, and other emotions deep within.

Those who know her well should know that her true emotion right now is fear.

The last time she showed this expression was at her birthday party.

When Leon, who was laughing maniacally at the time, beat him so badly with the ring that he was powerless to fight back, and even his head was trampled into the mud.

"The persistent ghost of Sion"

Megan stood up unsteadily, barely managing to sit down on a chair beside her. Her body slumped onto the chair, which was soaked in incense, and memories of the past began to flash through her somewhat dull eyes.

At that time, or rather, just a month or two before a year had passed, she was severely humiliated by her own brother Leon at his birthday party. She was forced to watch as he single-handedly defeated the entire TM family, and then walked away with a bloodthirsty, madman-like smile, leaving her with a dashing back view.

From then on, that figure was branded into her heart, and for a while, just thinking about it made her feel like she was going to faint.

If she had been given a Behemoth during that period, she probably would have transformed into an apostle on the spot.

After undergoing a series of treatments, including but not limited to magic and medicine, her mental state gradually improved. Only then did she begin to inquire about why Leon had become so powerful and what exactly that strange sword and shield in his hand was.

After making inquiries, an undeniable name caught her eye—the Sien Dungeon.

This is what allowed Leon to grow to that terrifying level!

A burning desire for revenge raged within him. What if he were to train in the Sien dungeon? His talent had always surpassed Leon's since childhood, so he was sure he could grow even faster than Leon.

However, this idea was quickly shattered.

She left home alone and came to Bede City. Following the strategy guide published by a famous strategy group called Skyward Strategy Group, she went to train in the Endless Cycle in the Great Tomb area, trying to obtain several blessings that could permanently increase her strength.

Much later, she learned that the guide wasn't from the Sky Strategy Team, but a pirated copy, and much of the information in it was wrong.

Whether it was due to bad luck, unlucky streak, or something else, the events she encountered in the endless cycle of reincarnation became more and more outrageous and bizarre.

【The Cursed Frog】

Megan is driven crazy by these bizarre and potentially serious incidents involving unsuspecting newcomers, not knowing if she's the only one experiencing this or if everyone is going through the same thing but tacitly keeping quiet to avoid seeing the newcomers suffer.

In the end, after a lot of hard work, he only managed to get the lowest-level blessing. Looking back, he saw that his younger brother Leon was stealing the spotlight and was loved by all the adventurers.

By that time, a terrible thought began to creep into her mind—am I going to fall behind Leon?
A sense of urgency arose in my heart.

However, the more urgent the situation, the more messes she made. Her dungeon explorations repeatedly failed, and she encountered all sorts of bad luck. At the worst time, her bad luck even attracted Gong Qiying's brief attention, which was of course one of pity and curiosity.

Despite her bad luck, her strength is slowly increasing. The campfire in the Sien Dungeon is great; as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded, even if the reward is slow. At least you can see the results of your efforts.

However, she eventually gave up on the Sien Dungeon, or more accurately, was forced to give it up.

It all started with that meteor shower.

A once-in-a-century meteor shower descended upon the earth, and the region where the Kingdom of Anor was located saw it most clearly. During that special period, even the Sien Dungeon and other dungeons reacted by launching time-limited events themed around the meteor shower, and many adventurers benefited from those events.

However, unlike those who benefited, Meghan was frightened.

She has vivid memories of that time.

On a night when a meteor shower streaked across the sky, in the capital of the Kingdom of Anor, in the old town where nightlife was at its least vibrant.

She witnessed people turn into mindless zombies, standing there blankly, like an antenna receiving signals.

One second a living person is having a pleasant conversation, the next they suddenly tense up and stand up straight, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light—a scene that only appears in nightmares.

But if we compare these people to antennas, then where do the signals they receive actually come from?

Megan looked up at the sky as if possessed, and a glimpse of purple starlight fell into her eyes.

Those shadows that ordinary people couldn't see at all, she could see vague light and shadow for some reason! Since that night, the Kingdom of Anor has lost an adventurer named Megan, and the Kingdom of Warriors has gained a stowaway - she fled to the Kingdom of Warriors overnight.

She was terrified; that fleeting glimpse had nearly blown her mind out of control. It wasn't until she fled as fast as lightning to the Warrior Kingdom that she remembered she should warn the people of the Kingdom of Anor that a turmoil that could kill many people might break out.

However, she waited anxiously in the Kingdom of Warriors for a long time, but did not receive any news of any major event in the Kingdom of Anor. What she saw that night seemed like an illusion.

The Kingdom of Yanor is safe and sound.

The meteor shower didn't take anyone away.

But how could that be? She clearly saw that indescribable light and shadow; any country targeted by such a thing would surely suffer!
Could it be that some mysterious force intervened and resolved the unrest before it even had a chance to occur?
Thane?

For some reason, the name of the Sien Dungeon suddenly flashed through her mind; it was her intuition, or perhaps inspiration.

She couldn't believe it; how could the underground city possibly interfere with what was happening on the surface?

However, she has had a high level of inspiration since childhood and is able to notice many things that others cannot. Some people even say that she is suitable to be an archaeologist or folklorist in the future.

Even though she still couldn't believe that it was the Sion Dungeon that had done something to the kingdom, she still held a special place in her heart for Sion.

After the Black Hawk Rebellion broke out, she never returned to the Kingdom of Anor. Instead, she chose to stay in the Kingdom of Warriors to train. During this time, she also went with a merchant caravan to a country called "Red" far away by the sea to relax.

As soon as they arrived, they were trapped by a sudden outbreak of occult blood parasites, nearly dying there, and their good mood was completely ruined.

However, before he could be trapped by the occult parasite for long, a divine force suddenly descended upon the underground city of Sein, miraculously resolving the local parasite unrest and earning the love of the local people, while Meggen himself hurriedly fled.

From that moment on, a strange suspicion arose in her mind about the Sien Dungeon.

After she finally calmed down and ran back to the Warrior's Kingdom from Reed, she hadn't even had a chance to rest before she was thinking of going to seek refuge with her father.
He personally witnessed the construction of the Sien Dungeon from his own father's homestead.

They successfully destroyed the mansion that would take an ordinary person hundreds of years of mortgage payments to build in Tepina.

Not long after the portal to the Sien Dungeon appeared, a series of major events came to the gates of the Warrior Kingdom.

Demons fleeing in all directions, a corrupted floating island dragon, a court mage ascending to godhood, and the rampaging Sien dungeon.
When this news reached Megan, who had fled to the Kingdom of Scammeron after the appearance of the Sien Dungeon in the Warrior's Kingdom, she finally confirmed her suspicions.

"As expected, wherever the Sien Dungeon goes, disaster strikes!"

"Luckily, I escaped beforehand!"

"Scarmeron surely won't fall victim to Sion's clutches again, will he? Things are chaotic enough here already; what other trouble could possibly arise?"

Megan really wants to go back a few months and slap herself for it.

What nonsense are you spouting! What inappropriate flags are you planting!

Maybe it was because of what I said that the Sien Dungeon came here!
At this moment, Megan was utterly devastated after learning from Anlessie that Thane's clutches had reached out to Scammeron.

Where else could she run to? She was unfamiliar with the other countries around Scamelot, and probably couldn't speak the language. Besides, was she going to run away forever? What if Sain's claws reached out again?
Again.

"Scammeron is already chaotic enough. What could be worse than war if the emergence of the C'estbon Dungeon came along?"

Unlikely?
But my own inspiration was sending out frantic warnings.

Megan slumped in her chair and thought for a very long time before finally gritting her teeth and making the bravest decision of her life.

"I'm not running anymore! I'm going to save myself!"

She knew a way to deal with the dungeon.

Throughout history, many dungeons have gone berserk. The wisdom of the ancients revealed that by sending more people into the dungeons to defeat the monsters inside, the berserk dungeons could be calmed down. As long as people continue to go there, the dungeons will not go berserk again.

Therefore, there is a study in academia that believes that a large number of people entering the dungeon to defeat monsters can reduce the dungeon's power, weakening it to the point that it dares not go berserk again!
Therefore, the scholars who supported the results of this study encouraged people to enter dungeons more often, and it actually worked, calming down many irritable dungeons.

"It's hard to say whether the chaos in those countries is directly related to Sien, but for safety and for my current career, I have to weaken Sien's dungeons!"

She clenched her fists and muttered to herself:
"We need to find a way to send more people into the Sien dungeon and kill more monsters to weaken it!"

Later, news of the appearance of the Thane Dungeon in Scameron was relayed to the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light through Bishop Megan, and subsequently became known to other churches and more forces.

The original portals to the Sien Dungeon were located in relatively orderly areas, and many factions and organizations were unable to do what they wanted due to the local order, such as monopolizing the Sien portals.

Suddenly, undercurrents surged among various forces, and the intense pace of the war seemed to slow down the moment the news broke. It was visible to the naked eye that both the rebels and the three major religions slowed down the pace of the war.

They all wanted the supplies in the Sien Dungeon.

If one could acquire large quantities of magic, combat skills, weapons, and even various materials and items from it, it would have a huge impact on the overall situation in Scamero.

In times of war, every dungeon is a resource point that all parties must fight for with all their might, and the importance of the Sien Dungeon is self-evident. If they can obtain something stronger from it, it may be able to directly decide the outcome of the war!
The Church of Holy Light dispatched more reinforcements directly to Megan's front line, determined to obtain the portal at any cost!

Just as these various forces were reacting, the Holy Light Church had to increase the number of people entering the Holy Light Underground City to "transport" resources in order to ensure the supply of materials.

Wherever there are people, there will be conversation.

And people's chats can be overheard by the idle dungeon lord.

Therefore, a troublesome fellow learned about the Sion Dungeon.

"Has Sion arrived in Scammeron to open a branch city?"

In the Holy Light Dungeon, in the city lord's room, the local city lord's "followers" made surprised noises after overhearing people's conversation.

"How did Godwin and Flamefire decide their match so quickly? Why didn't any news get out? I had no idea."

There was a vague feeling telling him.

These local city lords seem to have been deceived.
