Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 514 - 351: The Prelude to the Strongest Father-Son Battle in History

Chapter 514: Chapter 351: The Prelude to the Strongest Father-Son Battle in History

What is commonplace for adventurers of the Sain series dungeons may very well be an unseen nightmare for other adventurers.

Except for the strength, at least in terms of appearance, it does look quite nightmarish.

And here, at the Sain Dungeon, the long-missed battles with normal elite level monsters made the adventurers feel "pleasant" and "comfortable". Perhaps due to some algorithm issue, encounters with Sain series monsters rarely happen during skirmishes for these adventurers.

The visible decline in adventurers’ mortality rate might cause Sain’s revenue to dip a bit in these two days... Oh well, considering the special day, we’ll treat it as an event perk; there will be plenty of time to recover later.

Watching Sain series adventurers fight monsters of other dungeons might be a little dull since both the process and the result seem surprisingly consistent.

But watching adventurers from other dungeons battle against Sain series monsters?

Amazing!

Within the unicorn dungeon, filled with decorations fit for a girlish heart and Barbie pink, a limb-connecting noble equipped with a shrimp head emerged from a crater and began a merry-go-round with the couple in front.

In the Glory Dungeon, which regards deathmatch as an honor, two Sub-human Sword Saint and Sub-human Swordsman disciples jumped out, their Sound Stones playing a lively tune from Vigil.

In the Misen Dungeon, renowned for its output of battle pets, people watched nervously at the crater in front as a slender blue figure slowly emerged from the mist, sweat breaking out on their foreheads, focusing intently...

It was a cutely styled [Rapidly Spinning Weasel], how did this get in here? It must have been a slip of the hand by Gong Qiying.

"What’s that, it looks like it has zero combat power, that’s hilarious hahaha..."

The next moment, the weasel showed a "Brother, you smell great" expression and pounced toward the nearest adventurer, while an unstoppable super blizzard whipped up around them. This was the top-level Pallu, with max-level all-attribute full-color entries!

A meteor shower and black hole appeared in the sky of every dungeon, and any adventurer who looked at the black hole got sucked in, suffering from the first-time kill upon meeting Esti.

In the Giant Stone Dungeon, hailed as a world museum of ores, the Fallen Star Beast charged toward the adventurers in front, splitting mountains and cracking rocks where the ox cart passed, leaving not a blade of grass growing where it tread, with purple lightning flickering over the places it stepped, making gravity behave abnormally.

Giant Stone Dungeon is an open type where the number of simultaneous explorers isn’t restricted, and the spot where the Fallen Star Beast landed happened to be one of the most densely populated scenarios, causing a bloody shock around.

"Hurry up and stop it for me!"

A Great Sword Hero leapt out from the crowd, swinging a mighty sword aimed at the Fallen Star Beast’s head, actually attempting to halt the ox cart!

The crowd cheered, "Look, it’s the silver tier Samid, we’re saved now!"

The head of the Fallen Star Beast, having taken a solid blow, still did not stop, merely crashing into the Great Sword Hero turning them into a star in the sky.

The crowd booed, followed shortly by a loud roar as new adventurers joined the battlefield!

"Look, it’s the silver tier Rasco, we’re saved now!"

In a rise and fall, the new adventurer turned into a star.

Another boo followed yet another appearance of new adventurers.

"Look, it’s XXX, we’re saved now!" (Cheers from the adventurers)

"Splat!" (Sound of adventurers getting knocked away)

"Boo—" (Boo from the adventurers)

The attitude of the onsite adventurers completely transformed into a formulaic cycle: cheering the hero’s presence—hero turning into a meteor—whole venue booing—cheer the hero’s presence again.

Every show-stealing adventurer took on a dual god/demon nature, either ultra-god or ultra-demon, yet so far all we saw were ultra-demons.

"A bunch of fools with no sense of crisis..."

An incongruous voice came from the side, a middle-aged man, resembling Leon from the strategy group but smarter-looking, limping back seemingly heading towards the Giant Stone Dungeon teleportation gate.

This was Leon’s father—Tepi Basque, was he about to flee?

"Hehe, it must be true that I am blessed by the god of luck, I’m the only one who survived!"

Just a moment ago, he was one of the unlucky ones first to encounter the Fallen Star Beast.

As a result, all his teammates were gored to death by the ox, but he only got a leg injury, lucky to escape into the crowd and the monster’s target shifted away from him to others.

Incredibly lucky!

And now as he turns back, it wasn’t to flee since you could only enter a dungeon once a day, leaving now would be such a waste.

Currently, in the Giant Stone Dungeon, no, over forty dungeons had undergone mutations, which in his eyes was evidently a once-in-a-century opportunity, yet most people seemed oblivious to this.

"The bigger the waves, the pricier the fish; the more the mutations, the better the rewards. Competition began from this very moment!"

Being the leader who drew the Basque Family from deprived nobility to today’s affluent family, though lacking in child-rearing, Tepi never lost to anyone in profit-seeking senses. When he saw the Glory Stele of the Glory Dungeon appear, he realized he had to compete for first place, or at least the top ten!

This large-scale mutation meant the rewards from the Glory Stele would certainly be extraordinary.

If he could acquire those rewards...

"Hehe, Leon, my dear son, your father will come back to thrash you soon."

Ever since being publicly beaten by Leon, something in Tepi’s heart awoke; he must fight back!

Having been a businessman for half his life, he picked up the Finger Tiger he had wielded in his youth. After spending a fortune to hire a martial artist for intensive training, he regained the silver-level strength he once had in his youth. However, due to age and other factors, he hit a bottleneck at this level.

He and Leon’s sister, Megan, went separate ways to seek training. He didn’t know where Megan went; perhaps it was the Sain Dungeon? But he definitely didn’t want to go to Sain himself right now.

As for why, of course, it’s because Leon gained his power there, and Tepi himself felt a little conflicted inside, unwilling to follow the same path as Leon.

So, he wandered and came to the Giant Stone Dungeon in the Warrior Country, a place full of martial virtue, to train and discard anything related to Sain.

Though he had heard that the Sain Dungeon was a rare dungeon that could expand.

"But surely it won’t expand to my doorstep, right?"

Tepi bought a piece of land in the Warrior Country and built a house. It was said that this land once had ancient dungeon ruins, but the dungeon had long been abandoned, leaving only a bare teleportation gate. Just a few days ago, he flattened it, and his house’s foundation was laid on what was originally the teleportation gate land.

"Finally back."

Looking at the square with the teleportation gate inside the Giant Stone Dungeon, Tepi found a place to sit and tended to his wounds. After dealing with them, he squeezed through the crowd and threw a Little Meteor tied to his waist into the Meteor Altar.

This was a red Little Meteor. He chose the Red Teeth Dungeon in exchange for a drop of Red Flying Dragon Blood to strengthen his physique and accelerate the healing of his injuries.

People saw his actions, and many showed expressions of sudden realization, quickly calling their friends to rush towards the dungeon’s depths. Tepi saw this, and an anxious look appeared on his brows.

On the Glory Stele, his ranking was currently stable at third, only below Roger and Temude. He didn’t know who the former was, but the latter was of the royal family of the Warrior Country, so it was understandable for their ranking to be so high in his eyes.

"So this Roger should also be a master."

Tepi had to maintain his current advantage, but he also knew, once the adventurers came to their senses, the ranking on the stele would usher in a terrible "slaughter." He had to catch Little Meteors as much as possible to maintain the ranking.

So, now he needed to do one thing.

"Hey, young man, yes, I’m calling you," Tepi waved at a fresh-faced adventurer and asked, "Haven’t claimed supplies from the Meteor Altar yet? Very well, I’ll pay for your share, go quickly to claim the supplies."

When the adventurer asked which dungeon’s supplies he wanted, Tepi said without hesitation:

"Sain!"

Well, even though he had previously declared a righteous cutoff with Sain, he couldn’t resist how useful its supplies were; they were simply irresistible.

After all, he couldn’t use magic. If he wanted to catch Little Meteors, he had to do it barehanded or with tools, and the Elf Ball was undoubtedly more useful than anything like ropes.

"Sain Dungeon? I seem to have heard of it, but it feels vaguely in my memory; it shouldn’t be a too famous dungeon, right? Why not choose old dungeons like Red Teeth, White Hole, etc.?" The adventurer curiously asked.

"Why ask so many questions? Just choose, it’s right."

The adventurer shrugged and handed over the supplies from Sain as instructed, muttering to himself as he left:

"Weird old guy, if it were me, I’d definitely choose a more famous dungeon... Where did I even hear about Sain, can’t remember."

"Tch, guy with no vision," Tepi remarked as he watched the adventurer’s departing figure, "In a few days, you’ll have Sain etched in your mind."

After using his cash ability to buy over ten shares of Sain’s supplies, Tepi hired a new group of "partners" and grandly charged into the rookie area of the Giant Stone Dungeon, the Black Quarry. Here, it was one of the few scenes in the Giant Stone Dungeon where you could see the sky, and the monsters were merely stonemen.

Catching Little Meteors here was relatively safe, but Tepi had originally brought an attendant responsible for sourcing Sain’s supplies for him; the attendant ended up being impaled to death by a Fallen Star Beast, so Tepi had to come back and procure them himself.

The adventurers he hired were of varied skills, not knowing restraint or precision, which roughly meant they couldn’t manage their damage properly. They either killed the Little Meteor directly or let it escape, causing Tepi much trouble in his capturing efforts.

"Damn it, do I really need to train a team of my own..."

After throwing out a bunch of Elf Balls, four or five hours passed, and Tepi only caught eight Little Meteors, with only four caught using Elf Balls and the other half being held in the adventurers’ arms.

On the way back to the teleportation gate plaza for supplies, Tepi’s face didn’t look too good, so he could only glance at the surrounding scenery to vent his emotions.

"Is that... the ’Super Vision Mirror’ from Flat Mirror Dungeon?"

The adventurer exclaimed in surprise: "Flat Mirror Dungeon has three branches located in different countries, and in every dungeon, you can find Super Vision Mirrors everywhere. These mirrors allow you to see real-time footage of people passing by the mirrors in the other branches, often used to confuse adventurers in the Flat Mirror Dungeon."

Tepi’s mind wandered slightly. So, perhaps the effect of the Super Vision Mirror here was that you could randomly see adventurers from the forty-odd other dungeons? He was quite curious about what others were doing.

As he walked up to the mirror, the mirror surface flickered, and the figures of people standing before the mirror examining it appeared.

When he finally saw who the folks across the mirror were...

Tepi’s expression froze.

Leon also furrowed his brow.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the father and son met at this moment.

And both of them noticed the Elf Balls each held in the other’s arms, with the Little Meteor in Maru’s arms struggling free and flying away.

"..."

Flames named "competition" suddenly lit in Leon and Tepi’s eyes.
