We Live in Dragon’s Peak - Chapter 966

A group of monsters attacked me as soon as I dived through the gates of hell.

For a while, I was afraid it would continue to gush out indefinitely.

But, as Ethnid asserted, it was really only in the beginning that an infinite group of monsters came upon us.

The monsters appeared sporadically after destroying the first attack with the battle led by the Emperor’s Palace and the Echo Divine Art of Ethnic Need.

The underground path leading from the gate of hell was nicely paved no matter how far it went.

The ceilings, walls, and pillars are regularly filled with beautifully sized stone, extending all the way down the aisle.

The floor was also paved with cobblestones and beside it was a drainage ditch.

The stone floor is provided with a gentle slope, and we gradually descend to the basement.

The underground tunnel we’re going down must be a long-established tunnel that connects the subterranean city of Yumejizoku to the outside of the gates of hell.

It is the stone of the sun

The people in the Emperor Venerable Mansion continued to illuminate the long passageway, chanting the Divine Spell of Light instead.

The walls, ceilings, and floors of the underground tunnels glow lightly due to divine magic.

The artificially created light moves with the one who emits the divine spell, but it seems that the effect gradually fades over time, and finally disappears.

I see, and I had a better understanding of Divine Magic.

Although Divine Magic affects all things Mori. Once activated, Divine Magic does not have a permanent effect.

Even now, the effect of the divine spell of light that the previous person had emitted has expired over time, so I’ve recharged it.

And the effect time seems to vary a lot depending on the strength of the surgeon and the power of the magic.

A technique that illuminates the surroundings can maintain a considerable amount of time. Is it enough to refill the portable lights twice?

However, if the surgeon is immature, the effect range is narrow, the light is weak, and the effect time is short even for the same light surgery.

What’s interesting is that they differ from person to person.

But it wasn’t just Ethnide.

When Ethnide recites the divine spell of light, the lights are lit as far away as possible. Moreover, they illuminate the underpass as if they were outdoors.

We were nervous in our hearts, wondering whether this was the strength of Ethnid, who was comparable to the god of musketeers.

On the balcony.

Speaking of what we were doing while Ethnic Need and the following Imperial Venerable Mansion took the initiative to illuminate the underpass and destroy the monsters that were sporadically attacking us.

“I’m free.”

“I’m bored.”

Just like Yufelia and Nina sighed, they followed the Divine Clan.

Of course, Thrastal and Seol were the only Winged to accompany us.

At first, I thought that the Divine Clan would try to make things easier by pushing us to unlock traps, crush monsters, and other troubles.

Apparently, I was wrong. [M]

The Emperor Venerable Mansion took the initiative.

Sentinel during breaks. Monster Crusade. Scouting in the dark. Everything was done by ourselves.

That was an unexpected and mysterious sight for me. But now I know somehow.

The gods don’t see us in their eyes.

Ethnid accompanied us with interest in our power and strength as the Mistral Dragon Man, but we are trying to break through the underground ruins ourselves.

I’m sure it’s against the track record of being able to defeat the demons.

If the demons were able to defeat them, they would be able to defeat them.

Because even if we were able to break through with the help of Mistral in particular, we wouldn’t be proud. So, without using us, we move forward on our own.

As far as I’m concerned, I can easily observe the movement of the god tribe.

I guess… this is Nguyen’s plot, isn’t it?

I will show you how to fight the Divine Clan while we hide our strength from them. That way, when Nguyen moved his plan, that is, when there was trouble with the detective of the Imperial Palace, Nguyen would not only be able to move in our favor, but also in our favor.

Especially if you want to show us how to fight and command the Divine General, Ethnid.

While we remembered the feeling of being danced in Nguyen’s palm, we descended a long underground tunnel with the Emperor Mansion.

How far did it go?

I took several breaks and a nap along the way.

In other words, I think you spent enough time diving through the gates of hell to travel across the days.

The underground tunnels were as continuous as ever.

The underground tunnel was much better maintained than I had initially imagined, and there was a rest stop halfway through the tunnel, and even a well where fresh water was drawn.

It must have been a time when a lot of people and things were passing through this underground tunnel.

And we finally made it to the bottom.

“This is…”

The gods swallowed their words and were blinded by the spectacular view illuminated by the light.

First. When I finally made it through the long underpass, the lights of the gods became blurred and foggy.

Something happened, and when Ethnide snapped the light across a vast area with his reverberant divine spell, it appeared before our eyes.

The ceiling in the basement stretched as high as ever.

And the vast space opened up in all directions.

Even the Divine Art of Ethnide can illuminate only a part of the space.

What floated into the illuminated space was a huge underground city made entirely of stone.

How much effort has been put into building it?

We did not create a city in a large space that existed in the basement.

This vast, high space was dug up by the Phoenixes themselves, creating a huge city there.

The underground path leading from the gate of Hades became a road that crossed the city center.

On the side of the road, various stone statues line the streets instead of the trees.

Everything you see is made of stone, from houses built in a unified style to houses built on slopes that look like hills.

Far above the ceiling, illuminated by the Divine Art of Ethnic Need, there was even a sculpture that told the history of the Underworld.

“I can’t believe that this culture of the Underworld has just been destroyed by the curse…”

The underground city is so well-established that people are about to pop out of the side streets. But the enormous city didn’t even feel anything but a figure.

“How far does this underground city go?” Even the General’s magic tricks only illuminated the area around the entrance. Could it be spread underground in the Tenkami Mountains? ”

If that’s the case, then it’s quite a size, isn’t it?

“Hmm. The adventure will be tormented!” Yeah, but you can’t. ”

Thrasher advised us before we dived through the gates of hell.

You mustn’t hunt down the things left behind by the Phoenix.

Well, we may be allowed to explore the underground city, but unfortunately we don’t have free time.

Still, I’m curious!

The ruins of a giant underground city no one has ever seen or heard of. I wonder what kind of people lived here.

And while I was thinking, I noticed something uncomfortable.

“… by the way…”

I look back at the underpass that stretches out behind me, then at the lit underground city.

And then I asked a question.

The great army of demons that dived through the gates of Hades a few years ago must have gone through the same underpass as us, right?

“I see. There were no branch roads, and I don’t think there were any mistakes?”

And I say to Mistral, who replies.

“But then, isn’t that weird?” The demons dived through the gates of Hell with tens of thousands of troops, but less than half were able to get out of the west safely, right? ”

Everyone began to look around, realizing what I was about to say.

“The General said that there was a massive trap at the entrance of the ruins.” So the demon army didn’t get caught in that trap? What if I was trapped? I’m sure there’s been some casualties. Besides, where and how did the great army of demons lose the majority of their forces? ”

On the way. There were sporadic raids of monsters. But in front of the elite gods, they were helpless and repulsed.

A few years ago, when a great army of demons invaded, it would have been the same situation, wouldn’t it?

So where did the remains of the monsters that were crushed at that time disappear?

The rock-skinned monster decayed in just a few years, and I didn’t think it would disappear without a trace. However, in the underground tunnels that I had passed, I could not even see the traces of the battle, rather than the remains of the monsters that had been destroyed in the past.

And now.

There is no sign of war in the huge underground city, which is well-established.

“What if a great army of demons found this underground city?” I’m sure you did what you could to loot and destroy, right? However, the building is not broken, and the cityscape remains beautiful. ”

“I don’t think the demons passed through the subterranean city in compliance with the military order.”

“In the first place, it’s unlikely that the demons will be able to tear down the underground city.” Thinking of it that way, it’s still weird. The demons must have worked to destroy and plunder this subterranean city. Even so, I can’t see any signs of vandalism in the area I can see. ”

Vanished monster remains and signs of battle. The ruins of a restored underground city that was supposed to be razed.

Of course, these are just our guesses. Still, it was enough to feel uncomfortable.

“What are you stopping and chatting about? Come on, follow me.”

At some point, Nguyen was reprimanded from the rear of the Imperial Palace.

“I’m taking a break in front of the ruins ahead.” You must prepare the meal for us! ”

“Yes, gladly!”

Looks like you’re going to get a good rest before setting foot on the ruins of the underground city.

I’m sure the scouts will come ahead and check the interior at that time?

Then, in order for the Emperor Mansion to take a break, we were forced to work in reverse.

Of course, I don’t want to confront you with this kind of thing, so I’ll be honest with you.

However, there was only one thing that was troublesome.

The gods don’t want to eat the same rice as us, the winged Thrashers, and Theol.

As a god tribe, I don’t think you can imagine sharing a table with a lower race.

In Alex’s village, they were all friendly around the table, so I didn’t mind, but this might be the original attitude of the Divine Clan.

So, it was troublesome, but I had to prepare a separate meal for the Imperial Palace and ours.

Mistral, Lila, Yuferia, Nina, and Sefina were in charge of dining at the Imperial Palace.

Louiseine, Madeline, me and Nimia are the rest.

Nhan is in charge of tasting

I envy you!?

Remove dried meat and non-perishable root vegetables from the package, cut and simmer appropriately, and prepare a simple meal.

I don’t know how long it’s going to take. I bring a lot of ingredients that I can store for my trip, but it’s basically a modest meal.

While we were preparing the meal, some people from the Imperial Venerable Mansion entered the huge underground city ruins in front of us.

They must be the first to scout. He continued to cook while checking it with his horizontal eyes.

The people at the Imperial Palace flattened all the dishes prepared by Mistral while complaining that they had a “light taste”.

Then, dormant in turn, I waited for the person who had been scouting to come back.

However, those who entered the vast underground city ruins beforehand did not return as a single person for a long time.

That’s weird.

By the time Ethnide became suspicious of the boulders, everyone had finished their dormancy and finished a light breakfast meal.

By the way, you can’t lose track of where you need to go back to.

It’s the first place, so it’s only natural to get lost. But you can’t even imagine that an elite scout who takes on the main task of reconnaissance can’t get lost and come back, even if it’s not Ethnid.

“Pack your bags,” said Ethnide, giving the order.

Then decide to follow the unreturned scout into the ruins of the underground city.

“No way, we have no choice but to go ahead and tear down this underground ruin.” Everyone, tighten up and take on the challenge. ”

“Ohhh!!”

I don’t lose sight of my purpose while I care about the safety of my people.

The Emperor Venerable Mansion moved forward, led by Ethnid.

We also resumed our steps towards the vast underground city ruins, where the disturbing air began to drift.
