The man stood further away, looking at the building that was shrouded by the gloomy coldness. His face was filled with shock and rage.
"Chi!
"Why is Chi here!"
"Damn it!"
"Is this your trump card?"
Do you really think … Huh?! "
The man who was clenching his teeth suddenly jolted.
He realized that the gloomy coldness wasn't right.
It wasn't just messed up, it was …
Weak!
"I see!
Hahahahaha!
It's just the remains of a clone!
Great Swamp, you're dead! "
The man laughed maniacally before vanishing on the spot.
…
[Flame City Bangle Replica] once again guided Kieran's way.
The stairs before his eyes were no different than the one in Great Swamp's mansion. It was also divided into nine levels and each level had 108 steps, each step 33 centimeters long. There were also ancient drawings carved on the stairs that Kieran couldn't identify.
However, there was one difference.
The stairs were much more dangerous than the stairs in Great Swamp's mansion.
The dangerous aura was invisible to the naked eye but it was real. It was like a mountain pressing down on Kieran's heart.
Even with the guidance, Kieran had to be careful with every step he took.
Kieran had expected the danger.
After all, he would always dig deeper into the dungeon world and reap rewards that far surpassed the common man's.
But this time, it was different.
Calculating based on numbers, if the normal dungeon [City of Fiends] was 1, then based on Kieran's past experience, after digging deeper, the dungeon difficulty should be 2 or 3. But in fact? It had reached 5 or even higher.
"I can't judge every dungeon world based on past rules and experience.
"Every Instance Dungeon is different."
Especially after the appearance of Divine Demons. "
Kieran reminded himself to remember the lesson he learned this time.
Then, he continued forward.
As for giving up?
Stop joking!
Even at this stage, Kieran would never give up.
It wasn't just the main mission, there was also the considerable rewards.
Danger and rewards were directly proportional!
It was what Kieran believed.
This was also the main theme of the underground game that would never change.
The stairs eventually came to an end and when the main building complex that looked like a palace appeared, [Flame City Bangle Replica] dimmed down completely.
It was useless.
But he had also done his best.
It was because Kieran had passed through the palace gate and saw Great Swamp standing there.
Great Swamp's body turned illusory as he smiled.
"It's faster than I thought it would."
Great Swamp said.
"You have to thank it."
Kieran said sincerely with the [Flame City Bangle Replica] in his hand.
It wasn't fake at all, the gratitude came from the bottom of his heart because he knew without the [Flame City Bangle Replica], even if he could make it this far, he would have to pay a heavy price.
So, after expressing his gratitude, Kieran looked at Great Swamp with a questioning gaze.
"Aren't you going to explain it to me?"
Kieran said.
"I've met a terrifying enemy.
He is powerful and cunning, he has been watching me like a maggot on a tarsal bone, and he even set up a deceptive formation to make me numb and careless.
So, I have to do this. "
Great Swamp sighed.
However, it was obvious that such words couldn't convince Kieran.
"Deceptive formation? Numb and careless?
Please don't use these two words to describe him and yourself, it will cause a fundamental misunderstanding. Do you dare swear on your real name that you didn't notice the person behind Perforation Sting?
You should have noticed everything after the appearance of [Shred Secret Potion]! "
"That kind of potion isn't something anyone can create, it requires the help of a Lady Herb. Forest City, Many City, Leaf City, even the Gods with their own cities couldn't provide for a Lady Herb, so how could a wandering bastard provide for a Lady Herb?"
Kieran laughed coldly.
After learning about Smith Fiend and Lady Herb from the old monk of Rassho Temple, Kieran expressed his doubts about how Perforation Sting was able to create [Shred Secret Potion].
The scenes that unfolded after that turned Kieran's doubts into reality.
Perforation Sting was nothing but a puppet pushed out by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Even the God of Forest City was a puppet that was kept in the dark and thought itself to be smart.
All of these were part of the mastermind's plan.
At first, even Kieran was deceived by the mastermind.
It wasn't that Kieran wasn't vigilant enough.
It was just because of the difference in information.
However, such a difference in information would never happen to Great Swamp, the native.
"I swear on my real name that before I saw your imposter, I really didn't notice that guy."
Great Swamp uttered a series of 16 syllables in a serious manner while facing Kieran's question.
The straightforward way of doing things made Kieran frown.
"You really don't know?"
Kieran asked.
"If I really knew, I wouldn't be as passive as I am now.
Do you know, 2567?
How many years has it been since I've been this nervous?
After I saw your imposter, I knew it was that guy! The guy who was declared dead but was actually faking his death! He had his eyes on me from start to finish and even created a so-called Perforation Sting to attract my attention!
"He succeeded."
I didn't notice anything and even activated this place according to his plan — if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't confirm what was hidden in this place, he would have charged in a long time ago.
Therefore, I tried my best to leave clues for you, hoping that you could help me at the last moment. "
Great Swamp said with a bitter smile.
"The existence in that archway is much stronger than me."
Kieran pointed behind him.
"If Lord Chi was still intact, I wouldn't be this nervous.
But that's just Lord Chi's clone, a clone that was forced to be separated in order to compensate for her own hidden injuries — in other words, she isn't under my control.
On top of that …
Even if it's just a clone, Lord Chi has already left.
She has left this place and that guy will surely seize the chance. "
The bitter smile spread over Great Swamp's face again.
Great Swamp then took a deep breath and looked at Kieran with a serious expression.
"Can you help me buy some time?"
Great Swamp asked.
[Triggered special event: Mastermind]
[Accept? Yes/No]
…
Kieran nodded when he saw the special event that had popped up.
[Mastermind: You've discovered the secret behind Perforation Sting and appeared before Great Swamp's mirage within the stipulated time. You will not refuse Great Swamp's request.]
[Based on player's actions, player has joined Great Swamp's faction.]
[Note 1: The better the player's performance in special events, the higher the rating]
[Note 2: Player's performance includes but is not limited to battles]
…
"That's great!"
I swear on my real name that the man before me will be my eternal brother. I am willing to share my fame, power, wealth, and position with him. "
Great Swamp excitedly uttered a series of vows.
After the vows, a generous aura from the earth slowly fused into Kieran's body.
[Acquired Great Swamp's vows as a brother!]
[Acquired slight favor of fate within Flame City's range!]
…
The system notifications popped up before Kieran's eyes but Kieran's eyes were looking further away.
There was an aura filled with malice in that direction.
