Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 535 - 367 Yanor Londo_2

Descending the staircase, a vast open area unfolded before her eyes, revealing that she was indeed on the top floor of a building in Arno Londo, offering a panoramic view of the Royal City.

"But why is there not a single resident in such a large Royal City?"

Unable to understand, Elsa eventually attributed it to the Painting World overlooking the depiction of its residents.

There was only one path ahead, seemingly leading indoors, but there was a visual blind spot.

Usually, when an adventurer encountered such a design in other areas of the Sain Dungeon, they would start wondering if there were traps ahead, but Elsa, being in the Royal City, felt that she didn’t need to worry about mechanical traps.

Because Arno Londo is a Royal City, and it would feel rather odd if such an imposing and majestic city were riddled with mechanical traps.

That being said, Elsa felt that the absence of such traps wouldn’t necessarily make exploration easier; on the contrary, the difficulty might be compensated by the strength of the monsters.

Just as she took a step forward after descending the stairs—

"Boom!"

Something huge and heavy suddenly smashed down in front of her, and a sharp long spear struck firmly at the spot where she had just stood.

Did Elsa dodge it? That could be said.

But in reality, she was unsteady on her feet from the impact and fell to the ground, veering away from her previous position, and thus narrowly escaped.

"Monster attack!?"

Starting with such an intimidation, it was a very characteristic design of Sain; Elsa tightened her grip on the Sword Corpse Greatsword and then unleashed the Combat Skill "Vengeful Oath" to temporarily boost all her attributes.

As the dust settled, a tall figure clad in full heavy armor with a big shield and long spear appeared in front of her, an elite monster known as a "Giant Guard."

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from the Giant Guard, and Elsa, who had just intended to charge forward, suddenly paused, her expression turning peculiar.

The Giant Guard felt extremely dangerous and powerful to her, so powerful it seemed unthinkable.

After all, this was a product of the period when the flame was still fairly healthy, so naturally, its strength would far exceed that of monsters from the period of flame fading.

In the era of Dark Souls III, hero-level characters could perform Fire Transmission, whereas in the era of Dark Souls I, even many hero-level characters couldn’t get past the Steel Giant Puppet in the Sain Ancient City.

The moment it saw Elsa, the Giant Guard raised its heavy big shield, guarding against any possible attack with no gap left for her.

"An elite monster right at the start."

Elsa fearlessly charged forward, using a feint to lure the Giant Guard to attack, while she took the opportunity to circle around to the enemy’s back, slamming down the Sword Corpse Greatsword fiercely!

Her tiger’s mouth vibrated intensely, and deep wounds appeared on the armor of the Giant Guard, giving her an approximate understanding of its hardness.

Very hard, but not uncuttable!

Just as she thought staying behind to attack was safe, the Giant Guard suddenly displayed agility unmatching its size, backflipping to Elsa’s back and smashing its weapon heavily!

That backflip move almost gave Elsa an illusion of the Golden Lion; instinctively, her body turned, raising her weapon to block, luckily stopping the attack.

The warning from her bones inside was of dangerous force; she fought to parry the enemy’s weapon, choosing to live under the crotch—slipping through the legs of the Giant Guard and slashing at the back of its knee.

The Giant Guard’s body wobbled, turning with its shield to send Elsa flying; she immediately felt like her insides were being turned upside down.

Heroes and divine artifacts were complementary; without the greatsword, even bolstered by Vengeful Oath, she was actually a bit weaker, not to mention going into Burst Seed mode, she struggled to maintain her previous state.

Watching the Giant Guard limping toward her, Elsa gritted her teeth and charged again. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

The heavy impacts reverberated through the somewhat narrow open space, the battle lasting nearly five minutes before the Giant Guard finally fell and turned to ash; it was an impressive endurance battle.

With a fractured left arm, Elsa picked up a Dull Forging Stone from the ashes, uncertain if the battle was worth it, but fortunately, she had brought Healing Potions which healed her left arm.

Arno Londo gave her a harsh welcome, but it didn’t discourage her.

"Having survived this elite monster, it should be easy for a while now."

The pattern of Sain meant that after defeating an elite monster, adventurers would get a breather, which was actually time for spiritual power recovery.

After catching her breath at the spot, Elsa, still vigilant, moved into the interior of the building, where the ground was clean and bright, truly befitting a Royal City.

However, two gigantic shadows loomed over the ground behind her.

A sense of foreboding crept into her heart, Elsa turned around to look—two entire Giant Guards stood behind her!

At that moment, she realized she had guessed wrong earlier.

The Giant Guard that injured her at the start was no elite monster...

It was merely a common enemy found everywhere!

Her mind delivered the right answer within a second: Run!

Who knows how long it would take to fight them, now was the time to use her well-trained marathon skills.

Elsa ran ahead with the two Giant Guards chasing behind, the interior of the Royal City equally magnificent, but she had no time to admire it.

Yet, rushing into a room, she encountered another Giant Guard, narrowly escaping a decapitation.

With two enemies, she might have a fighting chance, but in such a narrow interior with three enemies, fighting was impossible, leaving her to run faster, following the visible path, dashing down the spiral staircase, and finally reaching the spacious outdoors.

If here, maybe I can maneuver around them.

This thought barely came up when she saw three tall and imposing figures standing in the spacious area, three more Giant Guards.

"..."

Elsa’s lips twitched.

The chasing Giant Guards were also behind her now, and this commotion attracted the attention of the Giant Guards on the open ground, who started moving slowly toward her.

She was sandwiched, trapped.

At this moment, Elsa suddenly remembered Luluwo; in usual perilous situations surrounded by elite monsters, Luluwo would flip the finger skyward, cursing:

"Sain Dungeon, why are you stacking these damn monsters?"

She now fully understood Luluwo’s sentiment, but feeling ashamed to emulate such a rude gesture, she could only prepare for a desperate battle.

"Hey, come this way."

Just then, a cool woman’s voice came from somewhere.

A woman in full armor poked her head out from a doorway not far away, her armor’s designs indicating her identity.

She was a Dark Moon Knight.
