Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1520 - 930: Crystal Cave (2)

Why do you ask why no one with unconventional ideas has chosen to explore the forest first?That’s obviously because, so far, those who have entered the Duke’s Library are still few and far between, usually only refreshing when the population base increases, bringing out those who stir trouble.

"The secret of the White Dragon Heiss’s Undying Body is hidden in that forest."

Before leaving the classroom, Rogen’s words reached Hades’s ears.

"It’s a secret deeply related to the crystal, but I don’t recommend you seek it out, that’ll provoke the White Dragon Heiss’s wrath, and I don’t want to lose you as a disciple."

It was precisely because of these words that Hades ran back to this forest that looked abrupt in every way, braving the pressure of potential attacks from crystal giant puppets, starting his exploration.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Every crystal giant puppet, upon discovering an enemy, would leap high and utilize its exaggerated weight and power to crush the enemy, and Hades was nearly driven to PTSD by these sounds during his exploration of the forest.

The worst part is, crystal giant puppets have an extremely high resistance to magic, and especially in resisting crystal magic damage, they are absolute, causing a magician to have no choice but to detour upon seeing them.

Through his careful exploration, he finally discovered a trace.

In a lush forest, Hades discovered for the first time a crystal cluster growing from the ground.

Using this as a clue, he explored deeply around the crystal cluster, eventually discovering a direction with more crystal clusters.

Following this direction continuously led him to see an existence that completely contrasted with the forest.

In the labyrinth-like depths of the forest, covered by countless green leaves.

A cave entrance covered with crystal appeared before him!

"This is..."

Shocked, Hades didn’t forget to record the scene here with the Image Stone; he approached the cave wishing to capture some details.

But when he truly got close to the cave, the cold wind blowing from it made him forget to shoot.

Because even the wind from the cave contained numerous crystal fragments, evident at first glance to be of high purity, inhaling would certainly cause irreversible damage to the human body!

Hades quickly used his own crystal magic to create a mask that automatically absorbs crystal fragments, this place really leaves no room for relaxation.

But the high concentration of crystal fragments from a different perspective confirmed one thing, that the crystal content here is even more exaggerated than the Duke’s Library.

What does this imply? It implies that it must have an indelible relationship with the White Dragon Heiss!

"But..." Hades looked at the cave in front of him, which was just big enough for a carriage, wondering, "How would the White Dragon Heiss squeeze in here?"

Whatever, the opponent is an ancient dragon akin to a god, perhaps skilled in Bone Shrinking Skill, it’s not my concern.

After using a scroll engraved with Protective Magic personally by Turci, Hades entered the cave while keeping the Image Stone running.

[Crystal Cave]

Such magic words floated before him.

"Sure enough."

This indeed is a brand new area; since a name has appeared, this signifies a place on par with the Duke’s Library!

"This is just an ordinary cave."

The first impression the Crystal Cave gave Hades was similar to a regular cave, the initial path was just tunnels, the Crystal Cave was mostly just filled with crystal.

However, after passing through the first half of the not-so-long tunnel, the scene before him stopped his breath for a beat.

"What is... this..."

In front of him, a completely different scene appeared as if changing worlds.

The previously unremarkable tunnel had somehow lost its closed top, only the path beneath extended forward, yet even this path had suddenly transformed into a thick crystal pillar larger than Gui Ao’er’s tail, slanting downwards.

Awaiting Hades below was a vast space purely constructed from crystal.

Numerous massive crystal pillars sprouted unrestrainedly within this expansive cavern, as far as the eye can see, apart from crystal, there’s nothing else, dyeing the entire cavern blue-white!

If Hades were a crystal creature, this place for him might have been paradise.

Never before had there seemed so many crystals appear simultaneously before him, this vast feeling wasn’t even present when facing the White Dragon Heiss.

He’d even believe if now he was told the space beneath his feet was entirely composed of crystal with no soil involved.

This is not just crystal territory; faint snowflakes drift in the air, the cold breath turns observable here, the cavern’s temperature surely below freezing.

Hades tried using magic to drive away the chill, looking at the endless crystal heaven before him, not knowing where to begin.

How to proceed?

Does it require him to continuously leap among these crystal pillars? This makes things difficult for a weak physic magician like him.

Breaking free from the visual impact of abundant crystal, scanning again finds no identifiable path, routes seem totally random.

If he moves forward, only traversing these robust crystal pillars seems viable, can those small crystal clusters support a person?

Hades cast Mage’s Hand upon a nearby crystal cluster with slight pressure, resulting in the cluster snapping off from the root.

Alright, obviously not enduring weight.

Continuing along the crystal pillar underfoot, wishing to see where the pillar ends.

Only to retreat in no time.

Not because he reached the pillar’s end, rather due to an unavoidable obstruction forcing his retreat.

A crystal giant puppet of Tama blocked his path, standing atop the pillar!

Its massive body occupied the entire road, utterly blocking it, sneaking past was impossible.

Seems the Sain Dungeon merely intends to thwart magicians!

Hades instantly thought of another trick, casting Flying Skill upon himself, his legs lifted off tuning skyward.

Haha, indeed Flying Skill is always convenient, with flight capability, where can’t he go?

Thinking so, he accelerated upwards aiming to bypass the giant puppet, swiftly seeing the pillar extended from other directions behind it, forming new branched paths as crystal pillars crossed.

However, just then.

"Bang!"

Hades suddenly collided with an invisible wall, and the impact caused by heightened flying speed jolted back on him, with his forehead hit foremost!

"Ugh!"

Dazed momentarily, falling downward but regaining clarity before crashing into the giant puppet, recasting Flying Skill to ascend, avoiding alarming the puppet.

"Thud!"

Yet two seconds after reascending, a heavy collision sounded again, soon Hades fell to the ground entirely.

Sain Dungeon! Why conjure so many invisible crystals!

The giant puppet suddenly leaped, its huge shadow in the sky already covering Hades, it seems the answer to his query emerged.

Why indeed, only to dupe others.
