Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 1354 - 849: Moved to Action
What the hell are those monsters, damn it!
Irene fought back the dizziness from just having vomited and shouted angrily.
The intense mental discomfort had forced her to sever her connection with other monsters, leaving her to stay in the City Lord's room to overlook the big picture.
My vision is so bad, what the hell am I looking at!
Aside from intense anger, her rational mind also raised some other thoughts, like where exactly are those attacks coming from?
Those blood-colored streams of light, like bullets, appeared out of nowhere, and even before the attack was launched, they were undetectable. More terrifyingly, even the body of the Pale Hunter she was controlling at the time didn't notice them, as if that thing had completely vanished into thin air.
It couldn't be a pre-set attack magic array or something, because for a magic array to be activated, it should definitely produce a magic power fluctuation, which would be impossible for her not to detect.
So, are these attacks coming from living monsters?
Analyzing the feeling those attacks brought her, it didn't seem like they came from a single monster. At least a two-digit number of monsters must have been launching the attack to create such momentum.
"No wonder everyone keeps falling into Gedwin's hands one after another."
This ability to make a batch of monsters deeply hide their presence isn't something an ordinary dungeon can have. Such an ability is really overpowered, and just thinking casually, one could deduce a considerable number of value points.
However, Irene wasn't entirely surprised by the occurrence of such things.
Or rather, if Sain Dungeon didn't exhibit some extraordinary capability, that would have been odd.
Currently, Gedwin is considered an eccentric in the City Lord circles, gaining more and more fame. Everyone knows that a 'newcomer' with endless tricks up his sleeve has appeared, and in a very short time, he has risen strongly, stepping on a host of City Lords, displaying immense pressure.
Irene was skeptical of this saying circulating among the City Lords since they tend to commercially hype each other up.
It was only after Flame Fire and its followers were repeatedly beaten down that she had to acknowledge the terrifying power of Sain Dungeon, and now she doesn't dare to oppose Gedwin.
"If it were a genuine life-and-death battle, I could never win."
She had a deep assessment of her own strength, not just because she judged herself incapable of surpassing the defeated Holy Light Underground City under Sain, but also because her monster resources simply weren't suited for dungeon battles; her White Blood Dungeon was only suitable for targeting adventurers.
So from the start, she hadn't planned to treat this confrontation seriously.
"But..."
Irene's self-talk paused slightly, the dizziness slowly subsiding. Even without deliberately sensing her monsters, she could tell that they were continuously being wiped out under Sain Dungeon's attack.
"Send out more Unity Seekers, and add more Pale Hunters."
I still have to show a bit of guts.
Purely showing weakness and flattering the opponent is unlikely to feel pleasant for them, and it also makes me feel quite stifled. I should at least try going all out like Flame Fire, not to mention maps and such are at least something I'm somewhat skilled at.
"Hoo—"
Irene exhaled a breath of hot air. Although her head was still dizzy from the previous attack, the emotion in her eyes shifted in an instant.
The gloomy otaku summoned the courage to try stepping out the door!
She reconnected with the body of the original Pale Hunter, her vision instantly changed, and the drastic change made her spirit tremble slightly, yet to this degree, she could still hold out.
The situation on the scene was just as she imagined, brutal.
Even though the Pale Hunter, its strength soared after being enhanced with a large amount of spiritual power, was able to dodge attacks everywhere under dense bombardments and even automatically search for invisible attackers. Though, so far, it still hasn't found any, and in an automated state, its intelligence doesn't contribute much to exploration.
But the situation for the Unity Seekers looked very dire. The Unity Seekers, brought in to make up the numbers, had no chance to fight back in the face of the assault, their only end being to be hit, turning to smoke and dissipating. Originally, there were nearly a hundred Unity Seekers, but under this wave of offensive, their numbers immediately shrank down to a dozen.
It's very disadvantageous for my side.
Irene instantly made a judgment.
She gave up managing the situation with the Unity Seekers, wholeheartedly focusing her attention on the Pale Hunter.
Blood-colored light clusters attacked from a tricky angle at this moment, and she quickly jumped and turned to evade, casually swatting towards where the attack came from. The whole movement was fluid and natural, even more fierce than when the Pale Hunter acted on its own.
The enemy dodged quickly, but this time it wasn't entirely fruitless. With a ripping sound, a piece of dark green rag was torn off by her.
Evidently, this was the clothing of the enemy attacking her. Being able to tear off a piece of cloth implied that the enemy had a physical form and could be attacked!
"Heh, at least now it's not a total loss for me."
As long as the enemy continues to attack, one could determine its position based on the angle of attack and other factors, eventually achieving a kill. This isn't a difficult task for the Pale Hunter under Irene's elevation. The chance to redeem herself was right in front of her.
