From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

boom!

The huge earthquake caused a large amount of smoke to cover the entire Buddhist temple, and the shaky structure collapsed rapidly. At that moment, Higanbana's vision and perception were blocked by the smoke.

Suddenly a blade pierced her body from behind.

"what's the situation?"

The sneak attack came too suddenly.

Before he could react, he was stabbed in the vitals.

This huge samurai sword that pierces the body looks very familiar.

"It's... my foster father's knife!"

next moment.

The giant blade was pulled out

The red spider lily lost its support and fell to the ground.

The wooden beams of the temple's roof kept breaking, and pieces of debris fell down one after another, burying the adventurer on the spot.

"hateful!"

Higanbana's vision gradually blurred and fell into darkness, but this time the word "death" which represented failure did not appear immediately. After her consciousness was dark for a while, she suddenly felt that some of her consciousness had returned to her body.

When she opened her eyes.

I saw a young man in plain clothes rushing into the sea of ​​fire.

The child was trying his best to move the wooden beam that was pressing on him. He did not stop even though his hands were burned and bloody. This person was none other than Shen Zi Jiulang.

“Please leave…”

Higanbana cannot control its body.

She guessed that this was probably just a cutscene.

Kuro Hirata struggled to move a heavy piece of charred wood, his eyes full of determination and concern.

"You stood up and fought for me... How could I just abandon you!"

What a silly child.

But how can a child save me?

Everyone is searching for the Son of God. If he turns back at this moment, he will completely lose hope of escape.

When Higanbana was having these thoughts, a small hand covered with scars reached out and placed on the wolf's right hand. Higanbana could clearly feel the warmth coming from the boy.

Jiulang whispered, "Wolf... please live with me by my blood..."

Every force, family, and even wealthy businessmen in Japan would raise ninjas for their own use. But to them, ninjas were just tools and would be discarded decisively once they were no longer valuable.

Hirata Kuro as the honorable Son of God.

He risked his own life to try and rescue a lowly ninja.

Regardless of whether this action was useful or not, it was enough to move the adventurers.

not only that.

The red spider lily plays the role of a wolf.

Naturally, the wolf's emotions are brought in.

She knew that in the entire Ashina country, there was only one person who had the ability to sneak up behind her and assassinate her with that giant blade - Owl!

Higanbana obeyed the ninja's rules and killed her teacher Butterfly, but was assassinated by her adoptive father Owl, who shaped her values ​​since childhood. The impact of this series of changes can be imagined!

however.

There wasn't much anger or sadness generated by either Higanbana or the wolf.

She just felt confused, as if a lifelong belief was suddenly falsified and shattered. Until the moment Jiulang reached out his hand to her, a new belief sprouted deep in her heart.

Higanbana felt the changes happening inside.

From this moment on, the ninja named Wolf that he played might have a more powerful reason to wield his sword that could override the ninja rules!

【The adventure ends! 】

【You have obtained the "Ninjago Butterfly Spirit"! 】

Higanbana left the secret realm, ended her performance and returned to Miracle City, but her mood could not calm down for a long time.

"This is the best adventure I've ever had!"

When the red spider lily withdraws from the acting state.

She was extremely moved and inspired.

Ten years since debut.

Explored hundreds of secret realms.

Got through nearly 10,000 adventures of varying sizes.

Higanbana can without hesitation vote this adventure as the best experience in her life so far.

Whether it is the scenes, pictures, battles, or plots, the reversals, rhythm, and emotions are all extremely impactful.

Let the red spider lily be immersed in it like never before, as if experiencing a second life.

This is a masterpiece!

A secret place that can be called a work of art!

In addition to the unique and complete experience, there is another very important factor that adventurers consider when evaluating the quality of a secret realm...that is the output of the secret realm.

Under this round of adventure.

The red spider lily gains a spirit.

[Ninjago: Butterfly], a second-level character spirit...

When she showed her spirit.

The secret hall was boiling again.

"Boss Higanbana has released Madam Butterfly's spirit!"

"Another named soul!"

"Oh my god, just one day later, Miracle City produced another named soul!"

"too strong!"

"..."

Although Higanbana is the leader of an adventure group.

But in the past ten years, he has never obtained a named soul.

She had only been in Miracle City for two days when she personally beat one out of the secret realm. One can imagine the impact and shock this caused.

Impressed!

Completely convinced!

I am completely impressed!

Higanbana has not met Lord Qi Ji yet.

But now she was really curious, what kind of existence was Lord Qi?!

Does this guy have three more heads than others, or eight more brains than others? Why can he create such an incredible and shocking magical secret realm?

The red spider lily has grown so big.

I have never admired anyone from the bottom of my heart.

Now he has developed a feeling of admiration for the Lord of Miracle City!

Although she has obtained the precious named soul, Higanbana is still a contracted adventurer of Tianyun City and cannot use the power of Miracle City under this circumstance.

She couldn't help but feel the urge to change jobs.

Although changing the organization will incur huge costs and prices.

But what does it matter compared to the joy and gains brought by Miracle City?

If you are a personal adventurer.

Higanbana will immediately apply for a contract with Miracle City without hesitation.

Unfortunately, as the leader of an adventure group, she must be responsible for her followers, so she cannot make such a hasty decision. She still needs to discuss it carefully with the Lord of Tianyun City and the senior leaders of the adventure group.

At this point, the Hirata Mansion branch storyline in the Ashina chapter has been completely opened.

Although the adventure of Higanbana has ended, the topics and discussions brought by the adventurers have just begun.

The Blackstone Hammer King couldn't help but ask, "Who was the guy who took advantage of the chaos to backstab the wolf?"

Lone Wolf: "There was so much smoke that I couldn't see clearly."

Cranky Chicken: "I can't see it clearly, but this giant katana... looks familiar!"

Pig King: "Could it be..."

At this time, Higanbana said: "No doubt! It's that bastard Xiao!"

The adventurers were all stunned.

"Why is it Xiao?"

"Isn't he already dead?"

"But why did he kill the wolf?"

"Could it be that the real mastermind behind this is actually our adoptive father Xiao?"

"No way? He's obviously dead!"

"Not necessarily. Don't forget, Xiao is also a top-level ninja. It shouldn't be difficult for him to fake his death!"

"..."

Adventurers had previously generally believed that Xiao was a loyal minister.

Not only did he train an excellent ninja like Wolf for the Hirata family, he also fought until the last moment when the Hirata family encountered a disaster.

The answer they got from Higanbana at this moment made them realize that things were far from as simple as they had imagined. The role played by Owl in the Hirata tragedy was indeed very suspicious!

An adventurer with many interests.

They got together to discuss the plot.

After the time traveler summarized the information, he immediately gave a detailed guess.

"Based on personal investigation."

"I think the truth behind the Hirata tragedy is this..."

"Back then, the Sword Saint Ashina Isshin launched a war to steal the country and recaptured the Ashina Kingdom, which originally belonged to the Ashina Clan. However, the once nearly invincible Ashina Isshin has aged and weakened, and no longer possesses the same courage as before."

"The power of the inner court is growing stronger."

"Once again, they are eyeing Ashina covetously."

"The Ashina Kingdom is declining and its situation is very dire."

"Therefore, Isshin's grandson Genichirō attempted to enhance his power by acquiring the 'Power of Dragon's Heritage' in order to protect his country. However, Ashina Isshin and the Hirata family disagreed with the use of this power."

"So Genichirō conspired with Owl and Chou within the Hirata family."

"They worked together from within and without, planning an operation under the guise of a bandit attack, aiming to take control of Jiulang during the chaos!"

"..."

The adventurers felt that what he said made some sense.

Sanzhu: "This 'Power of Dragon's Heritage' should have side effects, possibly even greater than the price paid for losing power. Otherwise, Ashina Isshin would have no reason to refuse to use this power to defend his country."

Baihe Jushi nodded. "So it seems that the reason why Die served Genichirō is because she and Genichirō are both 'radicals', and they just want to protect this country."

"Is that so? Then we've wrongly blamed Genichirō."
