Undercity (Hell difficulty)

“You…” Simon was overcome with rage.

“You only know how to use your tongue!”

“Just wait, the moment the Dungeon beneath my feet breaks its limits will be the moment of your death.”

Simon pointed his fingers, lingering on Lin Yuan, Mu Tianxing, and Luo Yushang.

“You, and you, both of you will die under the wrath of the Red Dragon.”

“Idiot.” Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to waste words with him.

“If it weren’t for the barrier, I would have killed you a long time ago.”

“Why would I be wasting words with you here?”

Just then, a clear Dragon's Roar came from afar.

It was Ayan arriving.

“Who dares to destroy Ayan’s noble nest!”

“All Things Incinerated!”

Mid-flight, Ayan took a deep breath.

Then he opened his gaping maw.

And spewed scorching Dragon Breath at the barrier.

“Dragon!” The word had just formed in Simon’s mind.

When surging flames swept over him.

Instantly turning him to ashes.

Simon didn't understand. He had clearly triggered the Dungeon's barrier.

Before the Dungeon broke its limits, he couldn't be harmed by outsiders.

Why could the giant Red Dragon's Dragon Breath attack him?

“Idiot, Ayan is the Final Boss of this Dungeon.”

“Without him lifting the seal, the Dragon Beasts inside the Dungeon wouldn't be able to get out at all.”

Lin Yuan answered the question.

Unfortunately, Simon could no longer hear him.

After the Dragon Breath, the barrier around the Dungeon dissipated, but the Dungeon still floated in the air.

Ayan stood at the top of the Dungeon, extremely angry.

Lin Yuan came to Ayan's side and reached out to touch Ayan's hard scales.

“It’s okay, Ayan.”

“I can build you another one next to the Villa.”

“Bigger and more comfortable than before.”

“And it will have electricity and internet, with all entertainment facilities readily available.”

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, Ayan immediately stopped being angry.

“I also want a manga wall.”

“No problem.”

“It’s a deal. I feel our bond has grown even deeper.”

Ayan lowered his head and pressed it against Lin Yuan's hand.

“Battle truly is the best way to deepen bonds.”

Lin Yuan subtly glanced at Mu Tianxing.

Fortunately, their conversation wasn't overheard by others.

Otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing.

After the battle, Ayan no longer maintained his Red Dragon form and reverted to his red-furred appearance.

Mu Tianxing and Luo Yushang arrived at the top of the Dungeon.

Looking at Ayan with curious eyes.

“Let me introduce you.” Lin Yuan pointed one finger at Ayan and the other at Mu Tianxing and Luo Yushang.

“This is Ayan, a Level 53 Sixth-Tier Red Dragon, currently an unofficial member of mine.”

“This is Mu Tianxing, humanity's first Third-Turn Professionals, a Level 61 Judgment Knight.”

“This is Luo Yushang, who has been protecting me by my side, a Level 60 Swordsman.”

Luo Yushang had already seen Ayan last night, but she had been secretly protecting Lin Yuan.

They hadn't formally met.

Mu Tianxing was seeing him for the first time.

He laughed heartily, “This is truly my first time seeing a Red Dragon.”

“Pleasure to meet you.”

Ayan glanced at Mu Tianxing.

“Remember my name, Ayan.”

“Destined to become a Dragon God.”

Hearing this, Mu Tianxing looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead, not wanting to speak.

Everyone thought the matter could finally conclude.

But then, a key emitting an evil aura appeared out of thin air where Simon had died.

And coincidentally landed in Lin Yuan's hand.

Seeing the key, Mu Tianxing’s expression changed.

“That damned fellow, he’s still causing trouble even after death!”

“Lin Yuan, this is the Key to the Demon Realm.”

“It requires the sacrifice of ten thousand lives to activate it.”

“The key is currently active but not yet bound. I'll find someone else to activate this key.”

Hearing the words “Demon Realm,” Ayan showed an expression of disgust in his eyes.

“A filthy world.”

“I wish I could incinerate everything in the Demon Realm with fire!”

“There will be a chance.” Lin Yuan patted Ayan’s shoulder.

“When that time comes, we’ll fight our way through the Demon Realm together.”

Those were matters for the future.

But for now, Lin Yuan needed to explore the Demon Realm himself first.

Detected the Key to the Demon Realm, hell difficulty Dark Grotto can be opened.

Yes/No to open.

After getting the key, this prompt appeared before Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan immediately smiled.

“President Mu, no need to trouble yourself.”

“A Dungeon delivered right to our doorstep, it would be a waste not to take it.”

“I was just wondering where to farm experience, and here it is.”

“These Dark Knight Guild members are quite nice, I’ll leave them intact next time.”

With that, Lin Yuan selected Yes.

The key in his hand instantly transformed into a pitch-black Teleportation Gate.

And sucked Lin Yuan into it.

“Black Teleportation Gate?” Mu Tianxing was somewhat surprised.

It was his first time seeing a black Teleportation Gate.

Nightmare difficulty was only purple.

Could it be that the Dungeon inside the black Teleportation Gate was even higher than Nightmare difficulty?

Luo Yushang couldn't answer this question.

Because she didn't know either.

These two didn't know, but someone did.

Ayan's expression suddenly became a little excited.

“As expected of my Master, to dare choose hell difficulty!”

“It's a pity I can't fight alongside him, otherwise our bond would grow even deeper.”

After his excitement, Ayan remembered something.

“Oh no!”

Mu Tianxing quickly asked,

“What’s wrong!”

“My teammates are still waiting for me, I need to hurry back online, otherwise I’ll lose DKP.”

Ayan reverted to his Red Dragon form and flew frantically towards the Villa.

Mu Tianxing: ... Luo Yushang: ... Mu Tianxing gave an awkward laugh, “This Red Dragon is quite interesting, isn't he?”

“He’s eccentric.” Luo Yushang shook her head.

“All of Lin Yuan’s Summoned Beasts are one more eccentric than the last.”

“As long as they're strong, who cares if they're eccentric or not?” Mu Tianxing said indifferently.

“A Shield Guard who loves music, a Skeleton Mage who loves fishing, aren't they all quite good?”

“You missed one.” Luo Yushang reminded him.

“The Elf who transforms into a War Ancient Tree and smashes people at the drop of a hat.”

“That’s a gentle and lovely Elf.” Mu Tianxing corrected her.

“Who wouldn't want an Elf that's both beautiful and powerful?”

While the two were chatting, Mu Tianxing’s phone rang.

It was Li Weixian calling.

The four foreign Professionals who came to intercept them had all been dealt with.

Hanging up the phone, Mu Tianxing looked up towards the city.

“The crisis is resolved. Notify the evacuated citizens to resume normal life.”

Luo Yushang pointed at the black Teleportation Gate, “What about this? The crisis isn't completely resolved.”

“That’s a hell difficulty that has never appeared before.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“What's there to be afraid of?” Mu Tianxing said in surprise.

“Since Lin Yuan dared to choose hell difficulty, it proves he definitely has the confidence to clear it.”

“Instead of worrying pointlessly here, I might as well go back and catch up on some sleep.”

“To set up this situation today, I don't know how many brain cells have died these past few days.”

Mu Tianxing leaped, jumping down from the top of the Dungeon.

He really went to catch up on sleep.
