Chapter 133: Expanding Territory and Gaining New Dungeons
The collision of sword and flesh, the howl of wolves and the roar of monsters, the fierce avenger and the miserable murderer.
With all these elements added together, even if the script is lousy, there will always be people who will go and watch it, not to mention that the image recorded in the stone is a visual feast.
Of course, the special effects were basically all provided by Doslepo. This guy's body kept changing again and again, and he made the mutation of his body look like a cool magic.
Dahl's performance in this battle can be summarized as: cut once, dodge, cut again, dodge again, and repeat this cycle over and over again.
Although his "hiding" is not like rolling on the ground like the undead, but a more stylish dodging method similar to that of the Yharnam hunter, but in summary there is no difference.
These photo stones recording the battle images suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of Bed City.
All the spectators were frightened by Doslebo's terror and marveled at Dal's exquisite martial arts. When someone recognized that Doslebo was the demon who controlled the City of Flesh and Blood that day, everyone looked at Dal with respect.
The image quickly spread across the city, with people playing it at every gathering point.
Someone even made a magic magnifying device, which magnified this hope-filled image over and over again, turning it into a giant screen covering the sky over the entire city. You can see it just by looking up, and every hair can be seen clearly!
Dahl stood outside the city with his head raised, and when he saw himself on the giant screen looking up and howling.
He felt like the sky was falling.
It wasn't a big deal if other people saw the fight, he also thought he fought pretty cool.
But, but.
Why do my howls sound less and less like wolf howls?
Instead, it looks more like some kind of relative of a wolf!
If I hadn’t seen the video, I wouldn’t have realized how embarrassing my howling was.
Just as he was brainstorming, himself in the image howled again, this time it was particularly hearty, and his beautiful voice echoed throughout the city of Bed.
"Puchi——" Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this moment, Dahl wanted to die.
More and more laughter was heard in Bed City. Originally, everyone was immersed in the battle, and even if they felt that there was something wrong with Dal's wolf howl, they would keep it to themselves.
As a result, someone started laughing first, and people realized that they were not the only ones who felt something was wrong, so they all laughed out loud. The place seemed to have become a sea of joy, and even Malu started laughing. Only Dal was drowned by the waves, at a loss.
He suddenly squatted down and tapped the floor tiles with his fingers.
"What are you doing?" Malu asked with a smile.
“I want to find a hole to crawl into.”
"Drilling a hole? Forget about it in your life~"
Malu's mouth suddenly showed a sinister expression, and she shouted to the crowd: "Hey, everyone, the real boss is over here!"
The bustling crowd immediately turned their heads and stared at Dahl.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Dahl's cheek. He tried hard to force a smile and raised his hand to say hello to people.
“Wow—”
In just a blink of an eye, the crowd surrounded him. The change came too suddenly. He was able to react to Doslebi's violent attack, but he didn't see when people came to him.
There was a roar of noise surrounding him that was even more lively than a celebration!
"Handsome guy, I want an autograph, autograph!" A girl tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt and squeezed in front of Dal.
"Thank you for killing the demons. My brother died in Val City." Someone sobbed and wiped away tears.
Dahl was a little overwhelmed. This was the first time he was surrounded by so many people.
At this moment, Malu's voice suddenly came from the crowd, but her figure could not be seen.
"How about we throw the hero up? Celebrate!"
"Why?"
Without a word, people threw the confused Dahl into the air, cheering loudly.
As he went up and down, his expression changed from confusion to uneasiness to numbness, and he gradually got used to this feeling.
When you are thrown up, it seems that the sky is right in front of you. People's voices go up and down, sometimes high and sometimes low. This feeling is really wonderful, as if the world is changing because of you.
Being thrown to the highest point again, he looked in the direction of the Sean Dungeon.
For him, that was the starting point where his destiny changed.
The incident in Val City was bound to happen. He would have gone there after hearing that Doslebo was also there. If he had never entered the Thane dungeon, had never received the wolf blood inheritance, had never learned the martial arts of the Faran Undead Squad,
Then he would definitely be the one to die, and his revenge would never succeed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Thane Dungeon changed his destiny.
Thank you, Thane Dungeon.
Dahl silently thanked Sean, and suddenly thought to himself:
How many people's future will be changed because of Sean?
Change the future of others.
This topic sounds a bit heavy, at least for Gong Qiying, he has only one purpose from beginning to end -
“Make more fun dungeon designs!”
The Lord's room in the Thane dungeon.
When Gong Qiying said this, Golem Kidd raised his pair of metal hands and clapped vigorously, looking a little bit admiring.
On this celebration night, although Gong Qiying wanted to go outside to join in the fun, he was called over by Kidd.
The purpose is naturally to discuss what to do next, such as the reward for requesting rescue.
Kidd was very tough on this topic. He was determined to pass the Val Dungeon to Gong Qiying, and then he would be able to happily put aside the responsibilities left by the creator and embrace the carefree nothingness.
Alchemical life always has some flaws. Kidd's flaws are his disgust for dungeons and his self-destructive tendencies, which are somewhat similar to his creator, Kirichi.
Once the city lord's authority is transferred, it means death. Both Kirich and Kidd understand this, but they think it is like throwing away a heavy burden and are too late to be happy.
Being trapped in a dark underground city and unable to leave forever is an unbearable burden for life.
Not all city lords happened to get a way to go out like Gong Qiying. In Kirichi's time, the art of rebirth through corpse possession had not yet been developed.
Sometimes Gong Qiying wondered, if he hadn't obtained the art of rebirth through borrowing corpses, and had been trapped in the dungeon forever, would he eventually become as disgusted with this place as Kirichi?
Probably not. If he is really bored to the extreme, he can disguise himself as Patch and kick adventurers everywhere. Life will find a way to relieve his boredom.
Kidd was very determined, he just didn't want to live anymore, but Gong Qiying was a little reluctant.
The reason why he was reluctant to let go was not only out of sympathy, but also because of the knowledge in Kidd's mind. The other party knew a lot of things in his mind, and if he died, all of them would be gone.
Kidd responded:
"You can leave my memories. They are stored in a crystal. If you want, you can inject magic power to view them at any time."
Well, Gong Qiying couldn't find any reason to keep him.
"Finally I have someone I can talk to," he sighed.
People outside can talk as well, but the feeling with Kidd is always different. The two of them are each other's dungeon lords, and communication feels much more comfortable.
When communicating with outsiders, he would sometimes be asked about his past experiences. At that time, Gong Qiying had to make up his own persona, which made him very tired.
Kidd had made up his mind, and one could even hear some relief in his mechanical voice.
"Don't worry, Lord Godwin. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."
Do you want to curse me to death?
[You have received a request for permission transfer from the Lord of Val Dungeon. Do you accept it? ]
Gong Qiying's hand hovered above the interface. He looked at Kidd and asked, "Would you like to consider it again?"
"No," Kidd shook his round body, as if imitating a human shaking his head. "Killing the demons that defiled the Val Dungeon is my last wish. This is the most appropriate reward for you."
Gong Qiying didn't say anything else, he just pressed the accept button.
[You have obtained the Val Dungeon as a subsidiary dungeon]
The city lord's panel began to update, and another [Val] was added next to [Sion], so the two can be managed separately.
A microscopic model of the Val Dungeon appeared in front of Gong Qiying. Scarlet corruption and insanity were growing rampantly inside. They looked very happy. They had not had time to clean up since they destroyed the demons.
Gong Qiying waved his hand, and the original design of the Vaal Dungeon disappeared along with the corruption and the insanity fire. Even the insanity fire that could burn the world had to obey its creator absolutely.
He looked back at Kidd, who was no longer moving, with the parts connected by magic scattered all over the floor. The alchemical soul that drove him completely disappeared, leaving only an empty shell.
But this empty shell also holds a light blue crystal in both hands, which contains all his knowledge. It is the second reward given to Gong Qiying besides the Val Dungeon.
There are faintly recognizable words engraved on the crystal:
[I hope you can design a dungeon that makes everyone happy]
Gong Qiying pursed his lips and carefully picked up the crystal. He stroked the cold crystal and said:
"I hope you can be reborn into a free world. I can travel through time here, so it shouldn't be strange for you to travel through time as well."
But don't travel to some weird world, like Warhammer Dead Space or something.
The zombie felt a little sad in his heart, but it only lasted until he collected the remaining shell of Kidd.
When he sat on the altar with the miniature model of the dungeon in his hand, he turned back into Gong Qiying who aspired to bring "smiles" to people.
"Let me take a look at how the Vaal Underground City should be designed. I feel like there's a lot of potential here."
A brand new Vaal dungeon is about to appear in people's vision.
