Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 65 Save Me, Sun Warrior

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Save Me, Sun Warrior

When Steeran alone defeated the Twin Stone Statue Ghosts, she could obtain nearly a thousand souls.

When teaming up with others, the soul amount from the Twin Stone Statue Ghosts remains the same, but it is divided equally among the participants of the fight, meaning the more people entering the dungeon together, the fewer souls each person receives.

Could this mechanism be encouraging adventurers to level up alone?

But that increases the danger too much, only leading to more deaths.

The first time Steeran served as an Assistant, she was summoned by a copper-level adventurer team with only two surviving members. These two were out of supplies and considering giving up when they accidentally used the Summoning Hook Finger Medicine and discovered the Summoning Mark.

In their moment of despair, the sight of the Assistant brought tears to their eyes.

Steeran helped them defeat the Twin Stone Statue Ghosts and, logically, after dividing the souls among three people, she should have received around three hundred.

However, on that day, she received more than nine hundred!

That’s three times the amount, nearly as if she had tackled the Twin Stone Statue Ghosts alone!

She wanted to ask how much soul amount the other two received, but they were newbies among newbies, not even having conquered the swamp area, let alone finding the campfire in the Sick Village.

Later, after much experimentation, she concluded—

As an Assistant helping the summoner defeat monsters, one randomly obtains one to five times the souls!

If she could trigger multiple soul multipliers during assistance, it would be much faster than leveling up by fighting alone.

From then on, she fell in love with helping others.

However, Gong Qiying would never make a losing deal, the cooperative mechanism actually has a setting that absolutely benefits the dungeon...

Currently, few people can obtain the Summoning Hook Finger Medicine, so Steeran sold the information about its refresh point and, with her partner’s consent, also sold information about the campfire.

Only then did she realize that a very small number of people already knew about the campfire, yet Steeran was the first to openly sell the information at the adventurer’s guild.

It appears that there are people who managed to get through the Sick Village, they just haven’t publicized it, with experts hidden amongst the common folk.

As they anticipated, the information about the campfire caused quite a stir once it emerged, even temporarily overshadowing the culinary area.

Hearing that there was a place in the dungeon that could enhance one’s strength, everyone became curious, and under extreme temptation, adventurers’ enthusiasm was once again ignited.

Then tragedy struck, they didn’t survive long enough to find the campfire...

The dungeon seemed to react to the people’s fervor, with monsters and traps appearing in even more cunning and tricky positions, brutally wiping out a large number of people.

In such situations, adventurers began to band together, hoping for safety in numbers.

Hence, the Summoning Hook Finger Medicine started to become prominently important.

In times of difficulty, people’s imagination is endless, any means of escaping danger are utilized.

And Steeran discovered that she was currently the only Sun Warrior in the Sain Dungeon.

Without going to the mid-level Sun Altar and signing the covenant, one could not obtain the Hook Finger, and without the Hook Finger, the Summoning Symbol could not be drawn.

Even though she released information about the Sun Altar and related details, the number of Sun Warriors did not increase because nobody could find the Sun Altar, and Steeran couldn’t remember its location either.

As a rare Sun Warrior who had disclosed information, Steeran undoubtedly became a highly discussed figure.

Incidentally, due to being the first to figure out an approach to the culinary area, both Morning Wind Team and Hammer Fall Team’s fame surged significantly.

Now, some adventurers who simply cannot defeat the Twin Stone Statue Ghosts pray to encounter Steeran, since once a Summoning Mark is taken by someone else, it disappears.

"Someone is summoning me again,"

Steeran felt a call from afar, and moments later, her figure vanished from the spot, materializing as a golden Spiritual Body in the summoner’s world.

In the summoner’s world.

Two adventurers were shivering, hiding in the swamp, camouflaging themselves within a pile of Monster corpses.

Even though the stench was assaulting their nostrils, they dared not react, nor even move a muscle.

Because even the slightest noise could mean death.....

"Splash, splash—"

The sound of webbed feet stepping in the swamp was unpleasant. At the fortress entrance, several exceptionally bizarre-looking "Monsters" were wandering around, seemingly searching for traces of the two adventurers.

Their body characteristics were similar yet different; the similarity being webbed feet, but the differences were significant.

Some were covered in steel-hardened feathers with black python heads above their necks, some had four heads and eight arms looking like a mountain of flesh, others resembled tiger Beastmen but had purple tentacles wriggling behind them.

Yes, their true identity is...

Demon Clan!

Why did the two adventurers encounter the Demon Clan?

Barren and Sari, those were the two adventurer’s names.

Merely mentioning names might not evoke an impression, but their adventurer team was called "Hammer Fall."

Yes, the very same Hammer Fall team that discovered the gourmet district with Steeran’s team.

Their once nicknames were weak loli Priest (Sari) and taciturn glasses Magic Swordsman (Barren), typically just background characters.

Ever since the discovery of the gourmet district, their team hadn’t operated together in a long time.

Because their team leader, Chiraj, is now a superb Fishing Man, who rushes to the Dungeon everyday with eyes bright as if addicted more than to drugs...

And the remaining team members lacking in strength had to team up with other adventurers if they wanted to explore the Dungeon.

Barren and Sari joined a newly acquainted ten-member adventurer team, planning to investigate what exactly this "Bonfire" was, everyone harboring the dream of becoming stronger.

However, their dream shattered suddenly after defeating the twin Stone Statue Ghosts.

Because...

Four people suddenly transformed into the Demon Clan!

The four Demon Clan members began a massacre; now only Barren and Sari survived, everyone else was killed in quite a gruesome manner, what’s more critical—

Their bodies weren’t transported by the Teleportation Crystal.

Whether the Teleportation Crystal malfunctioned or the Demon Clan tampered with it, in any case, being discovered by the Demon Clan now, would likely mean death for them both!

Before hiding among the corpses, they spotted a Summoning Symbol by chance, thinking of a recent rumor.

Holding on to their last hope, they chose to summon Steeran.

Please, save us, whoever it may be... their hearts were nearly consumed by despair.

The footsteps of the Demon Clan grew closer and closer, so close that their growls could be heard, nearly discovering the whereabouts of their hiding place.

I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die...

Just then, a strange melody began to play, and all the Demon Clan looked towards the fortress entrance, where a golden Spiritual Body slowly formed.

"You guys... huh?"

She usually intended to greet them, but upon clearly seeing the current scene, she paused momentarily.

Steeran blinked, and instinctively said:

"So ugly!"
