Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 1330 - 837: The Holy Light Church’s Turn
What does the Archbishop's words imply?
Anleisi had her brows furrowed until she walked out of the conference hall; anyone with a bit of sense could pick up the underlying meaning in the Archbishop's words.
"Will the Sain Dungeon become our enemy, or even go rogue?"
News of a rogue dungeon would rapidly spread through the adventurer circles and beyond, and among those closely following rogue dungeons,
Sain Dungeon frequently refreshes its presence in people's minds.
How many times has this dungeon gone rogue again? No other dungeon has gone as crazy as this one!
Because of its history of going rogue, no matter how generous, selfless, and harmless Sain Dungeon appears to be—an assumption up for debate—those cautious of dungeons remain worried about Sain. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
But is there really a need to prematurely assume we'll be at war with Sain Dungeon?
Anleisi sighed, thinking about how strange and bizarre this world had become.
Ever since she enjoyed relaxing in the Sain Dungeon, she's been proactively finding more information about it, delving into its rogue history in detail.
The first incident took place in a frontier town near Yanor Londo, where an elite monster tide overwhelmed the garrison, and with powerful leaders, utterly crushed the people's will to defend, like a sweeping storm.
Later, it was confirmed that the leaders were the Dragon Hunter Armor and the Storm Dragon, each formidable on its own, and together they presented an invincible aura.
Anleisi pondered, wondering what the outcome would have been if she and Kaius faced that battle.
Except for the Dragon Hunter Armor riding the Storm Dragon, no other monsters could stop them; they'd only be speed bumps.
If she entered an unconscious state due to rage, perhaps upon waking, she'd find the Dragon Hunter Armor reduced to ashes?
Their sibling duo was powerful combat-wise, and she remained confident about this.
Unless they encountered unforeseen events, she was confident she wouldn't lose to many in a regular battle.
But what if they faced a later rogue Sain Dungeon?
Perhaps there wasn't even a need to consider the combat power shown in other rogue incidents, just reflecting on the chaos caused by the Black Hawk's Chaos within the Yanor Kingdom would suffice.
According to the classic battle theory of stacking boxes, the rogue Sain Dungeon was stronger than the full-power Elsa, who was stronger than the mutated Eliphas.
Who knows what Eliphas encountered inside the Sain Dungeon to come out in such a miserable state.
Meanwhile, Elsa was the first to gain fame among the heroes. Comparing her strength with Elsa's, Anleisi had to regretfully admit that she likely couldn't defeat Elsa.
So, if that were the case, she and Kaius had even less odds against a rogue Sain Dungeon.
"... Better follow the Archbishop's advice."
She decided to obediently follow the orders and head to what was called the first front line, where the Return to Forest Church, one of the Three Great Religions, led the confrontation against the rebel army. Its resilience, compared to the second front led by the Dark Moon Church and the third front handled by the Holy Light Church, was exceptionally robust; no matter how fierce the rebel army's assaults, they could hardly destabilize the Return to Forest Church.
Yet, perhaps due to putting all their skill points into defense, the Return to Forest Church had not managed to crush the rebel army in several campaigns, and both sides were mired in a stalemate.
This time, sending her and Kaius over was to act as the spear to break the enemy, and they must secure a victory.
"But there's no rush to go over just yet."
She still had a few days of rest and could wander around the capital. Having finally returned from the battlefield, taking a few days off didn't seem like a bad idea.
Perhaps visit a dessert shop she hadn't been to in a long time.
With these thoughts in mind, Anleisi walked out of the Holy Light Church headquarters, feeling a lightness in her shoulders almost immediately, as though an invisible pressure had lifted.
Does this mean I'm out of the Pope's surveillance range?
She glanced back at the Pope's residence, the tallest building in the Holy Light Church, a towering white steeple reaching into the clouds like a stairway to heaven, making every believer stepping foot here marvel at its grandeur.
But Anleisi no longer felt she could view this tower with a relaxed mind. As a child, she thought of it as a mascot-like structure, not expecting the mascot Pope inside to truly come to life one day.
Moreover, the Pope displayed a power even oppressive to her - could such strength be possible for a rumored aging Pope? Was the Pope in reality a Legendary Mage?
Anleisi shook her head, refusing to dwell on these thoughts. Given her apprehension about the Pope's power, she would avoid opposing the Pope, even if she left the Holy Light Church.
Besides, who in their right mind would take on such a colossal entity other than the rebel army?
"Come and see, the Mad Fire God Sect is giving out perks! Join and receive eye-care potions!"
No sooner had she stepped out of the headquarters than the bustling sounds of the Skamelon Capital greeted her, with proselytizing voices among the most distinguishable.
Anleisi turned her head to see a rather decently dressed man loudly preaching about the "Mad Fire God Sect," a sect she had never heard of, followed by two children distributing eye-care potions of dubious production quality.
