Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 74: Wheelchair Trouble

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Wheelchair Trouble

"The [Avatar of XX] series Monsters are created by Gong Qiying using other Monsters.

Their main bodies are usually Losric Knights stripped of their Armor, and by fitting them with corresponding gear, they automatically master the use of these equipments.

As for Marathon, ’Lower Instruct’, and ’Little Snacks’ or something of that sort, Gong Qiying guarantees he didn’t teach them, definitely not (feeling guilty).

He hasn’t chosen to deploy stronger Monsters because on one hand, it’s not cost-effective to waste spiritual power on such a hidden punishment mechanism—just a punishment for the Exploration Team will do. On the other hand, he’s rather optimistic about this team.

There’s a bonfire in the upper, middle, and lower layers each, except for the last one, all of which can display videos. He’s looking forward to what kind of stories they can conjure up after watching them all.

But what a pity, daring to attack the bonfire invites punishment; let’s see if they can clear the Dungeon while bound by the Conqueror’s Oath.

"What the hell is this!"

Maru jumped back in fright and recalled some unpleasant memories upon seeing these three.

Looking at their uniformly styled Thief masks, chubby Armor, and the bizarrely shaped weapons in their hands, she knew they were the cream of the Dark Spirit crop.

"Aside from different weapons, they look exactly like that thing from the other day!" She was referring to the Avatar of Soul V, which had left her with a sizable psychological shadow.

In fact, the stats of these three Avatars here were much lower than that of Soul V’s Avatar which, after all, was intended to serve as a BOSS.

The members of the Strategy Group faced them as if confronting a formidable enemy, and seeing them so tense, the others also readied themselves.

Just three figures in silly outfits—how formidable could they be?

"Everyone, fight cautiously, these guys are not to be underestimated," Leon took a deep breath—he had learned his lesson and brought a shield this time, armed with a shield in one hand and a Straight Sword in the other, now properly equipped.

"It’s all your fault, look, you’ve angered a God now," the Flame Cultivator glanced at the Holy Light Knight, then stepped in front of everyone with a bell in hand, saying, "I will pray for your blessing with the power of flames!"

The Holy Light Knight, not even bothering to acknowledge him, cried out loud, "Holy Light, grant me weapons, to grind my enemies into light dust!"

As soon as the words fell, a flashy special effect flickered, and his hands were suddenly enveloped by a pair of heavy gauntlets that looked capable of smashing a person to death with a single punch.

He glanced over the group with a loud roar, taking the lead and charging forward!

If he were an ordinary person, such an action would seem reckless, but most of the people present were brimming with combat experience. Even though it was their first time cooperating, a simple gesture was enough to guess what the others were planning.

Drew instantly cast two low-tier Beneficial Magic spells on everyone and, while he fell into a brief silence due to the instantaneous casting, Perry’s chanting just ended.

"[Phantom Body]!"

This Magic, cast upon one’s own body, generated several illusions in the enemy’s eyes when they tried to attack, reducing the likelihood of being hit.

"Thanks," Leon charged at the nearest enemy—the Avatar of Swift Slash—Maru and Steeran supported his flank, while Tal and Roger set their sights on the Avatar with the Tachi, and Merca went to aid the Holy Light Knight against Left Bow.

Everyone has a bright future!

With a loud shout, Tal’s skin rapidly turned green, his physique even swelling up as if he was transforming into a humanoid beast, charging towards the Avatar with the Tachi.

And how would the Avatar with the Tachi respond to such a heavy tank?

There were no such things as Tachis in this otherworld, and no one recognized this peculiar weapon. Tal, however, did not look down upon it at all and gave it his all from the start.

Mount Tai Pressing!

His massive form loomed over the Tachi’s Avatar like a dark cloud. In that moment, he executed—

Detect!

"Pfft—" A gash suddenly appeared on Tal’s chest, his eyes widened in shock as he fell heavily to the ground.

He couldn’t comprehend what sort of move that was!

The Tachi’s Avatar, seeing its Detect successful, raised its hands excitedly in cheer, looking like someone who had just achieved success.

But its celebration came too early, as a thrusting sword pierced through its chest at its most relaxed moment.

He turned around, puzzled, only to see Roger had appeared behind him at some point, slyly winking at him.

Unlike Drew who specializes in support, Roger is a battle mage, and what he excels at is—

"Invisibility, Sound Erasure, Concealing Breath, Short-distance Flash, then, stab!"

Leon had also given it his all from the very beginning.

The avatar’s outfit, bearing an uncanny resemblance to someone else’s, caused him to subconsciously go all-out, raising his hand and bringing down the straight sword bearing the pressure of the wind!

With a "bang," a cloud of smoke suddenly exploded to the left of the avatar, and Maru’s petite figure darted out like a sharp sword, aiming straight for the enemy’s flank.

Steeran had also charged up his "Breaking Flame Strike," and when the arrow left the string, one could even hear the cheer of the fire element.

Faced with attacks from multiple sides, the avatar simply crouched low, his dual swords in a strange stance, and charged straight at Leon.

Leon had a bad feeling and used all his strength to stop the cutting of his straight sword, quickly raising his shield!

In an instant, he felt a strong impact on the shield, as if the avatar itself had slammed into it, but—

"Huh?" Maru lunged at nothing, turned her head, and the enemy had somehow appeared behind Leon, still maintaining the crouched posture.

Her sixth sense was warning her, but the enemy was not nearby, where was the danger coming from?

She understood a second later.

"Swish swish swish—"

A multitude of white Sword Qi suddenly burst into the path where the avatar had passed, catching Maru off guard and causing her to stagger, her body riddled with wounds, blood splattering.

Leon wanted to take advantage of the avatar’s post-attack lag to strike the enemy, but just as he had lowered the shield halfway, the suddenly exploding Sword Qi pummeled against it, nearly forcing it out of his hand.

Even so, his upper body was still cut by the Sword Qi, and his handsome face was marked by a shocking wound.

The technique was so fast and could even dodge attacks?

He barely recovered and turned around, not yet managing to swing his sword—

The next strike from the avatar was ready!

"Damn it!"

Leon had to raise his shield again to block, still unavoidably getting injured. The avatar dashed beyond his striking range in an instant, and by the time he ran over, the opposition had prepared the next strike!

Repeating combat skills was precisely this powerful.

At this moment, an arrow imbued with fire predicted the avatar’s landing spot and shot into the enemy’s back, making the avatar stagger into a wall.

Steeran then drew his bow and muttered to himself, "Such a form of attack—you see it twice and you can predict it!"

"Good job!"

Leon praised, and finally managed to close the distance under the cover of a hail of arrows, striking the avatar with five consecutive hits of his straight sword, disorienting it.

Maru returned to the battlefield after Drew’s healing, joining the hunt.

Just as the situation looked very promising, a sturdy figure fell heavily to the ground.

It was the Holy Light Knight!

"Uh, ah..."

He stretched out his hand towards the sky, his head tilted, his life coming to an end.

And on his broad chest, countless arrows had been densely lodged!

The Left Bow avatar made a "Yay" gesture.
