Chapter 191: Chapter 170: Battle of the Dungeon, Begin!

Why has the Sain Dungeon’s Teleportation Gate been closed!?

The Ancient City above was swarming with adventurers, and a good number of ordinary people were there too, having risen at dawn just to stay in the Dungeon a while longer and gather more materials to make money.

As a result of the Dungeon’s closure, everyone was left standing in the cold breeze of early morning, filled with confusion and a sense of frustrated anger with no outlet.

Pessimists immediately began shouting, saying this was a sign that the Sain Dungeon was about to go berserk again.

But the panic-inducing rumor was quickly snuffed out before it could spread, as a young man with dazzling blond hair stepped onto a high platform.

It was Leon, who spoke up using amplification magic:

"Don’t worry, this is a normal occurrence, the Dungeon does this for a few days every so often."

For those who were well-informed, this was nothing unusual; every year, there were a few Dungeons whose Teleportation Gates would close for days, or sometimes months, and then reopen, ready to resume admitting adventurers.

While Leon soothed the adventurers, he frowned and pondered over something else.

History had seen Dungeons shut down for months and upon reopening, their content drastically changed, as if they were completely replaced, and there were times when Dungeons didn’t reopen for years.

Such incidents haven’t occurred in nearly a century, making them unfamiliar to the people.

But what if the Sain Dungeon faced a similar situation...

He wasn’t just imagining doomsday scenarios; this Dungeon had seen too many special events.

The first Dungeon to mutate in a hundred years, the only Dungeon to run amok in recent years.

A Dungeon that records unknown historical eras, the one that has brought back a legendary hero.

These auras have shrouded Sain in a veil of mystery.

People longed to unveil its mysteries, yet the deeper they explored, the more they unearthed, leading one to wonder if the knowledge within is truly endless.

If Sain Dungeon reopened with changed content, should we be happy or...

Leon had a lot on his mind, but the immediate priority was to evacuate the crowd, as more and more people were gathering, and a stampede would be disastrous.

First, the crowd must be persuaded to return to Bed City, and as for when they could come back, that would be left to fate.

Both adventurers and ordinary people gathering here felt disheartened, as they all depended on Sain for their livelihood. Who could endure it being closed for a fortnight?

Leon’s face betrayed nothing, but his eyes flickered as he looked toward the Teleportation Gate, praying for Sain to reopen soon.

Because—

"Not entering for a day makes me feel uncomfortable," he muttered to himself.

However, he forgot that he was still using amplification magic.

Suddenly, all eyes were on him with strange looks, and Leon couldn’t help but show an embarrassed smile.

He had considered all kinds of things, yet he had overlooked one important detail.

The Sain Dungeon was about to reopen.

Inside Bed City.

The news of the Sain Dungeon’s closure spread quickly through the streets and alleys.

In the tavern, people who were just recovering from their hangovers heard the news and immediately ordered heaps of beer, engaging in lively gossip.

At the farthest seat, Steeran wiped the food crumbs from the corner of her mouth and left the tavern.

"Sigh, I was planning to relax in the Dungeon," she sighed, "but it’s unexpectedly closed."

She started to aimlessly stroll through the streets. Even at three in the morning, Bed City wasn’t quiet. After all, this was the time when the Dungeon usually opened, and everyone was rushing to get in.

All cities founded on Dungeons eventually assimilate to the Dungeon’s "operating hours," and here was no exception.

As she walked, she stopped in front of a shop and softly read the sign.

"Madar Magic Tool Store..."

A familiar name, but Steeran didn’t feel much emotion.

She had known about the store for some time, yet had never entered it.

The first time she heard about it was from Leon, at which time she fantasized about meeting that good brother who helped her.

However, she heard that the shopkeeper inside was a young man with black hair and eyes, gentle and kind initially, not at all the kind of battled-scarred warrior she imagined.

That wasn’t the Madar she imagined; it must be a coincidence of names.

When could she meet that person again?

The door to the Magic Tool Store was open, she peeked inside but saw no one.

Strange, I remember people saying that the shopkeeper is almost always here.

Steeran muttered to herself:

"Maybe he’s dealing with some emergency."

——————————

Inside the Sain Dungeon, Gong Qiying indeed encountered a bit of an "emergency."

Because today, it was the day to do battle with the Evil Nest Dungeon.

He had been waiting for this day for so long.

The accumulated spiritual power in him was restless, and he felt a strong urge to throw in the entire Fran Undead Team to give the Underground City Lords around the world a small jolt of the Ember King’s shock.

In the end, his thrifty mindset suppressed the idea.

[Evil Nest Dungeon is approaching, fusion is imminent]

Once a battle between Dungeons occurs, an independent space forms.

In this space, centered around the challenged Dungeon, the challenger can pull in a small part of their own Dungeon to merge and connect.
