"Boom——"
A single stone raises a thousand waves; the vibration from the falling teor Star causes the horse of the Ghost Rider to involuntarily rear up, providing Gapar with the perfect opportunity for a swift kill.
When the droplets thrown into the sky returned to the ground, the battle was over.
Gapar patted his wet clothes and used Fighting Qi to evaporate the moisture.
Hades coughed twice, his voice sounding sowhat muffled under the luminous stone mask.
They had won the battle, but when everyone surveyed the battlefield, no spoils of war were to be found.
Ghost souls simply turn to ash when they die, the Big Lobster could have been harvested for ingredients, but it too was obliterated by the teor Star.
The only thing left for the group was a few souls, which for Roger was already quite generous, but for the Sword Saints...
It was rely a trifle, barely enough to stick between their teeth; after all, they had no way to farm enough souls for leveling up, and these ancillary rewards for killing monsters were useless to them, at least in Sain Dungeon.
However, this situation was about to change in Val Underworld.
This battle brought nothing to the group but a psychological experience; for instance, Gapar began to detest "marathon" runs, and Turci stared at the dried lobster at she carried, falling silent.
She looked toward where the Big Lobster group had been, now a crater made by the teor Star, regretting not having the chance to taste the Big Lobster.
Their rest had been rudely interrupted by an attack from monsters, and after a short pause, they continued towards the direction the giant dragon had departed.
The lake water was still boundless, but the surroundings began to show moss-covered remnants of walls and ruins.
"Torina Lotus?"
At a noticeable spot, Turci suddenly picked a plant and consulted her Hunting Manual for information.
[Graceful in stature, the pale purple lotus about to wilt is an extrely rare item]
[It is the representative flower of the faith of the Holy Daughter Torina, known for its effect in calming an excited mind]
Indeed, the fragrance of the flower brought a sense of ntal relief to the sniffer. She took a couple of deep breaths and just as she was about to inhale a third ti, she suddenly stuffed the Torina Lotus into her waist bag.
This thing is sowhat addictive!
She had only taken a few extra whiffs and already felt drowsy; what if the fragrance were stronger, could it cause people to beco intoxicated, living in a dream and not wanting to leave?
She had been negligent just now, this ti she concentrated on inhaling the scent from the lotus again, and with her guard up, the flower’s fragrance wasn’t as alluring.
It seems that those unfamiliar with this plant could be caught off guard quite unexpectedly.
"There are smaller ones beside it."
Turci noticed two smaller Torina Lotuses nearby; however, compared to the one she had just picked, these were much smaller, and their aroma was significantly weaker.
She tried picking one and checked her Hunting Manual.
The plant’s na read [Immature Torina Lotus], the rest of the description was no different from what she had read before, only an additional line at the end.
[An underdeveloped juvenile specin, much less effective, if given ti, it could yield a mature plant]
Given ti?
With the ti nearing for the closure of Sain Dungeon, by the next entry these plants would most likely have respawned.
"So you’ll never get to grow up."
Turci plucked the remaining immature lotuses, planning to take them back to her good friend in the Magic dicine Departnt at the association for research.
She hadn’t considered the idea that this place could actually give her the ti to wait for the Torina Lotuses to mature.
"So that’s what the Big Lobster was."
While Turci was studying the water lilies, Gapar casually slapped the rock beside him, and a giant lobster suddenly stood up.
Seeing this, Roger’s eye twitched as he rembered what he had just done. It was he who had lured the enemy over.
Looking around, he could spot no fewer than three "rocks" within his field of vision!
Furthermore, beyond the "rocks," there was sothing bigger like a hill. Now on alert, that hill increasingly resembled the carapace of a big crab.
Having seen a big lobster, it wouldn’t be strange to encounter a big crab too, right?
The seemingly beautiful lake waters really were filled with hidden mines!
Once identified, these mines posed no threat to them. Gapar casually reaped the lives of magical creatures, picking up quite a few crab eggs along the way.
"Ugh..."
Turci retched at the sight of the bugs and eggs on the big lobster, even though she had just thought about tasting so lobster at.
Having walked for roughly an hour, the sun over Lake Lienia had set, but the moonlight had not yet shined upon the lake district.
They were later attacked by ghosts several tis, and also encountered mice, great wolves, and other monsters, but these posed no real threat.
"Look over there," Turci suddenly said, "isn’t that a town?"
In the distance, the outline of a town lood in and out of the mist, and further away atop a high cliff, the grand Magic Academy stood tall.
Right at this mont, the moonlight quietly fell, casting a cool veil over everything in sight. The lake sparkled with light, reflecting the stars in the sky.
[An exquisite scene lies ahead, please witness.]
Roger unexpectedly triggered a ssage on the ground. After appreciatively observing the scenery before him, he nodded in agreent.
"There might be monsters inside, be careful."
They approached the town cautiously; it was a city where most of the buildings had collapsed and there seed to be no sign of life.
If soone were to fix all these houses, it could beco a big city accommodating many people. But who would bother repairing buildings in the Dungeon? They would just revert to their original state the next day anyway.
Stepping on the first brick here, the words [Academy Gate Town] appeared before them.
"There are no monsters."
Gapar sheathed his weapon; his Fighting Qi Perception told him there wasn’t even a shadow of a monster here.
Strange, such a big place, and there are no monsters at all?
"Wait, there’s sothing else."
Gapar’s Fighting Qi suddenly detected sothing different, not ferocious monsters, but rather, calr beings... similar to humans?
"It’s just around that corner."
Following the street, they walked forward where the buildings were relatively well-preserved; perhaps they could be inhabited.
After turning the corner, when they finally saw what the detected life form was, he widened his eyes in surprise.
lodious music suddenly arose in Academy Gate Town, an instrunt unlike those in their world.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the person in front of him dressed like Santa Claus, Gapar asked.
Wandering rchant Curry put down the instrunt and said to him:
"Would you like to buy sothing?"
