"Hey, look, a light point!"
The mont the rcenary saw the light point, he imdiately beca cheerful, and the people around him laughed as well, extrely happy.
However, this happiness was not the kind of joy from finding treasure, but rather a self-satisfied feeling of having seen through a trick, feeling clever.
"What is this, you really think we don’t know the patterns of a dungeon? We’re not fools."
"Exactly, the placent of the light point is too obvious, even a fool would know there’s definitely danger there."
"Haha, trying to fool us is not that easy!"
The magician cast the Lighting Technique, but a magical thing happened. The mont the light source appeared, the surrounding darkness beca even thicker, devouring the light wildly. It was impossible to illuminate anything.
"How about this, put all the beneficial magic on , let test the strength of this trap!"
The rcenary ranked second in strength within the Charging Team, just behind Elsa, confidently gave himself a thumbs up, making the favorite gesture of a certain Saiyan prince.
Though he was second to Elsa, the difference was like 10 to 1. Even so, this rcenary was still a rare powerful warrior.
"Be cautious, Erka, take two more people with you." Sali advised. Initially, he wanted Elsa to go, but recalling how others overly relied on Elsa earlier, he ultimately abandoned that idea.
Even if they fell into a trap they couldn’t resist and died, it would be due to their own efforts, not through Elsa’s power.
A series of beneficial magic lights flashed across Erka, the rcenary’s body, red and green in various colors shimring.
"Oh, I feel full of strength now!" Erka clenched his fists, muscles bulging, feeling as if he could burst his clothes with effort, even thinking he could exchange moves with the legendary Sword Saint Gapar!
"Yes, you are strengthened now, go ahead." urged the magician.
Erka and the other two enhanced rcenaries marched forward with confidence. Beforehand, they had used a magic called [Detect Dangerous Life] on the light point and surrounding area, resulting in no danger. They weren’t complacent though, as danger might not always co from a monster.
But [Detect Dangerous Life] has a flaw. It only detects creatures that pose an appropriate level of danger to the user. There are two types that it won’t detect: those too weak relative to the user, and...
Too powerful!
The darkness engulfing this area was so thick it was pitch black, extending your arm almost made your weapon invisible.
The closer Erka, previously full of confidence, got to the light point, the more his unease grew. When only a few steps away, he suddenly sprinted forward, grabbing the light point from the ground.
It was an old-looking book, emanating a sinister aura.
[Gravekeeper’s Sorcery Book]
[The sorcery book of a Tomb Guardian, a book from Casas’s underground cetery, when presented to a sorcerer master, it can teach the black fla sorcery]
[Legend says after Overlord Vonier of Casas fell into the abyss, the tomb guardians discovered the black fla]
This, this seems like quite a treasure?
Erka initially intended to swiftly retreat after obtaining the light point, but the information about the Gravekeeper’s Sorcery Book forcibly entered his mind, leaving him montarily frozen.
Once he ca to his senses, he excitedly waved the sorcery book towards Sali and the others, wanting to share this joy with everyone.
But...
Why do they all look so terrified?
They seem to be shouting at ? But I can’t hear anything. Erka looked down at them, utterly puzzled.
At this mont, Sali also realized they couldn’t hear sounds, so he made a universal rcenary gesture, aning... run, don’t look back!
It’s well-known that the Haki people and Haki ow share a trait: the more you tell them not to do sothing, the more they have to do it.
The mont Erka saw Sali’s gesture, he instinctively turned his head.
What, it’s just a tangible giant hand grabbing .
"..."
Wait, when did I get caught!?
No wonder his perspective keeps rising, turns out he’s been lifted off the ground!
The darkness grew denser, yet miraculously, everyone’s vision suddenly brightened. It was a holy light, seemingly capable of resisting the dark abyss’s erosion, and its appearance provided the rcenaries with a clear, bright view.
According to usual tales, the pure light dispels the darkness, and what happens next is justice triumphing over evil, the villain being defeated by divine intervention, and the protagonists hugging and cheering, celebrating together joyously.
However, in the Sain Dungeon, there was a small "error."
What if the light dispelling the darkness cos from the one who summoned the darkness?
Under the glaring light, Erka finally saw where the light was coming from—three gigantic bracelets!
If there are bracelets, there must be soone wearing them, and lo and behold, its owner was erging from the darkness.
The ground quaked, and the darkness surged. From sowhere, the ground exuded sticky black mud.
It’s the abyss, the dreaded abyss, capable of dragging the world into a terrifying existence of darkness.
In ga language, the mont the rcenaries saw the black mud, they all underwent a ntal roll.
Fortunately, none rolled a critical failure, but regrettably, no critical successes either. Everyone felt fear, and those with the weakest wills began trembling.
A giant skeletal hand stretched out from the abyss, firmly grasping Erka, and the bracelets on the giant hand glowed brightly.
The bracelets that brought light to people actually belonged to a terrifying enemy!
"Ahhhhh!"
Erka let out a scream. He was lifted, getting closer to the giant hand, naturally becoming the first among them to clearly see the true form of their enemy from the darkness.
Without any movent needed, a miasma fog with intense toxicity erged from the white bone giant hand. Enveloped within it, Erka scread endlessly as the various defensive magic spells cast on him shattered instantly. Human strength is insignificant in the face of this entity!
Nobody would be foolish enough to try and save Erka, whose death was certain.
Sali shivered, forcibly calming himself to command everyone to prepare for battle, but honestly, he had no idea how to face such an enemy.
Especially when the entity’s body erged from the darkness, the anxiety and panic reached the extre.
In their eyes, it was undoubtedly the incarnation of death.
The massive white bone body was entangled with a death miasma, its clothes long decayed, yet the crown atop the skull shone brilliantly, symbolizing the greatest achievent in its owner’s lifeti, the Overlord’s crown.
Even with only the upper half of the body, it delivered endless pressure. When the dark eye sockets locked onto them, its na ca unbidden.
[Overlord Vonier]!
Sali’s legs went weak, and he instinctively took a step back. Only when he realized his lapse might strike a blow to their morale, did he notice many rcenaries were already sitting dumbfoundedly on the ground, staring at the enemy.
At this mont, he suddenly rembered his heartfelt thoughts from not long ago—"Even if the final boss is Overlord Vonier, I must co in and take a look!"
Now his wish was fulfilled, he really had seen Overlord Vonier!
"I wish I hadn’t seen..."
I was just saying, you really didn’t have to show up!
Elsa, seemingly in a stress response, hunched low, displaying her ferocity toward Overlord Vonier.
But compared to the majestic body of the Overlord, her stature was still too insignificant, hardly appearing to pose any threat.
"Everyone, snap out of it!"
Sali tore apart several Revitalization Technique scrolls, the magic’s glow doing its utmost to fill the ntal damage inflicted by the Overlord on the rcenaries.
"For the Captain, we must give it our all in this battle," Sali picked up the rcenaries one by one off the ground, "Even if we are dood to fail, we must try to bring back as much enemy information as possible!"
Thinking of Eliphas, whom everyone adored, the rcenaries forcibly shook off their trance, just about to let out a battle cry, but the ensuing screams choked their words back.
The screams ca from the rcenaries who followed Erka to pick up the light points—they were too close to Vonier, ntally shaken enough to flee aimlessly and even ran toward the Overlord’s rear.
What was behind Vonier?
Wasn’t that the Abyss!
Before being swallowed by the Abyss, the rcenaries let out their final screams.
Soone asked with difficulty, "Vice-captain, after being swallowed by that thing... can they revive?"
Sali hesitated, "I don’t know..."
They were swallowed whole by the Abyss. In the stories describing Sain Dungeon, the Abyss is a forbidden existence; even a touch leads to madness.
What if one were consud entirely, would the Teleportation Crystal still work?
His hesitant tone dashed the morale that they had struggled to muster.
But they didn’t have ti to think further; Vonier wouldn’t be rciful enough to give them ti to discuss tactics.
He moved slightly and unleashed a miasma forward, faintly similar to that of the first deceased.
The rcenaries hastily dodged to the sides, those who didn’t manage in ti died struggling and screaming.
At this mont, the rcenaries steeled themselves; since there was no escape, they could only fight desperately.
What if they could win?
Sali’s arm unfortunately got tainted with miasma, and without hesitation, he severed it, then loudly commanded the rcenaries.
"Don’t get close to him, avoid getting pulled into the Abyss. Magicians, attack with all your might; the rest, protect the magicians!"
In an instant, various attack magic spells bombarded at once, soone tearing a cherished High Tier Magic Scroll, a ford water dragon pounced at Vonier.
But regardless of the degree of the attack, Overlord Vonier showed not the slightest tremor, as if the people’s attacks were rely air to him.
Not a bit of response from being hit— in people’s eyes, this was proof of a true strongman!
"How could it be, the magic is of no use at all?"
Sali’s eyes widened in shock; from adventurers, he had learned that even the Fran Undead Team would show a montary stutter after powerful magic attacks.
Wasn’t Overlord Vonier destroyed by the Undead Team? Why did magic attacks seem ineffective against him!
The resilience was just different, but sadly the people of this world don’t know.
Vonier’s giant hand swept across; a simple attack, yet impossible to resist—instantly, everyone was sent flying.
However, one person leaped high—it was Elsa. She swung her greatsword, slashing fiercely at Overlord Vonier’s skull!
A trendous sound of impact echoed in the space, enough to split mountains and rocks.
Vonier seed to tremble from the blow, yet also seed unaffected, as he resud his actions in the next second, reaching to grab her.
Again, appearing to have no effect—why do their attacks have no effect at all!?
The intensity is way off the charts!
Elsa was ready to struggle, but a thick death miasma erupted from the Overlord’s entire body, completely enveloping her!
"Boom!"
The greatsword fell with a thud onto the ground.
