Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

When the cold and deep abyss ruthlessly dragged him to the bottom, he experienced Overlord Vonier's despair; in his eyes, apart from the yellow flames brought by Mad Fire, there was also the abyss's jet-black color.

Reviving from the bonfire with a vacant gaze, he suddenly found himself in the midst of a vast crimson plain, where things resembling disgusting fungi grew everywhere, smoke and spores mixing and drifting in all directions.

As crimson liquid spurted from the ground and splashed onto him, he immediately gained a new experience—Crimson Corruption!

In a daze, Eliphas saw a red-haired woman with a masked helmet amid the Crimson Corruption.

In the next moment, flowers formed by Crimson Corruption blossomed radiantly beside him, bringing beautiful death.

Eliphas died yet again!

Mad Fire, Abyss, Crimson Corruption—three of the most powerful polluting entities took turns intensifying the torment on Eliphas. He couldn't tell how many times he had died and come back to life under their torture. The spiritual power inherent in the Demon King Bloodline was indeed strong; after dying more than ten times, his spiritual power was finally nearing depletion.

"Urgh..." Until the very end, he curled up beside the bonfire, the mucus no longer writhing, his eyes vacant as he murmured, "Kill me, kill me... "

This was Gong Qiying's idea, just like the time in the Val Underworld battle—allowing severely wounded enemies to escape and leaving their fate to be sealed by the people.

At this moment, Eliphas no longer needed to worry.

"As you wish."

Gong Qiying snapped his fingers, simultaneously shifting his consciousness to the outside world to watch the spectacle.

Eliphas felt a darkness overtake him, followed by a dizzying whirl, before the scent of gunpowder filled his nose, and the cries of battle reached his ears.

"Where am I...?"

He stared blankly upward, only to realize he was back at Founding Square.

The monster crisis brought by the Meteor Shower was almost resolved, with the number of monsters reduced to a mere fraction. Victory seemed imminent for the people.

His appearance undoubtedly drew everyone's attention.

"It's Eliphas! He actually came out!"

"He seems exhausted; let's tear this bastard apart. I want to kill him!"

"Wait, we should capture him and let him face judgment!"

The crowd was agitated, everyone glaring at him with eyes longing to execute him by slicing him to pieces, hating like they would a rat crossing the street.

This was the look Eliphas least wanted to see.

He had painstakingly plotted for years to become superior, to be admired by everyone, never to be looked down upon again!

But now, people's gazes were more painful to him than death, ultimate agony!

"Sain!"

He wanted to question why the Sain Dungeon didn't simply kill him, instead sending him out unnecessarily to face judgment from these commoners' eyes!

Yet he suddenly remembered.

The Sain Dungeon was initially famous for its underworld malice towards humans, wasn't it?

Therefore, not satisfying his wish to die at the hands of the strong but sending him out for public judgment...

This was Sain's deepest and most profound malice!

"Aaahhh!!!"

Defeated, tortured by Mad Fire, Abyss, and Corruption, then judged by people's stares—all these things combined plunged him into even deeper despair. Within his body, the Demon King Bloodline responded to this despair. Even in a state of exhaustion, a new surge of power abruptly emerged within him!

The Demon Clan was indeed a tenacious life form, several dimensions stronger than cockroaches!

Thicker mucus appeared on Eliphas, his size expanding, his body fully mutating into a humanoid Black Hawk, devoid of any trace of human form.

"I'll take him." Gapar unsheathed his weapon, his expression serious but still smiling at the corners of his mouth, "Seems the Sain Dungeon wants us to defeat the Demon Clan ourselves? I get it."

However, Leon, who was panting heavily by his side recovering strength, reached out to stop him, saying, "Teacher, have a rest. Someone will come to end Eliphas."

With that, Leon pointed in a certain direction.

There, appearing was Elsa, carrying the greatsword, staggering forward!

With one hand supporting the greatsword and the other carrying Sali, her face pale, her condition seemed poor, but her steps were resolute, heading firmly towards Eliphas.

Her eyes glared at Eliphas with a desire to tear him into pieces!

"Eliphas—"

Elsa let out a roar like an enraged beast, putting down Sali, suddenly igniting flames that soared straight into Skyrim. She transformed into a flaming meteor, rushing to the front of Eliphas, slashing down fiercely with the greatsword!

In an instant, Eliphas was split in two, but the sludge reconnected his body, instantly erupting with Demon Qi from inside out, attempting to send Elsa flying.

However, she firmly lodged the greatsword in his chest, bravely withstanding the impact of Demon Qi, with one upward strike nearly cleaving Eliphas apart again.

"Aah!"

The greatsword and the flames entwined upon it seemed especially effective against the current Eliphas, perhaps even considered a special attack, causing him pain not less than the burning by Mad Fire!

"That useless Dorian! Why are you here?!"

The Demon King Blood within Eliphas evolved once again; he grabbed Elsa with his talon-like giant hand, but in a flash of firelight, his five fingered claws plummeted to the ground!
