Chapter 1501: Chapter 921: Tomb King Nite Ahead
"Crack!"
The flash of thunderbolts tore through the darkness, shattering the invading Skull Demons into a pile of bone powder.
Several more thunder spears pierced through the darkness of the Giant Tomb. After a series of thunderous noises, the clattering sounds from the skeletons finally faded away, and the Giant Tomb returned to silence.
"Hooray, Solar, we adore you!"
The silence of the Giant Tomb was broken again by Maru’s cheer.
The radiant spiritual form of Solar illuminated the surrounding darkness, as if transforming into a shining figure, injecting new energy into those weary of exploring the dungeon.
After seeing the summoning symbol appear on the ground that could summon Solar, people chose to summon without hesitation.
It’s been a while since they last saw Solar... No, wait, they seemed to have just seen him recently in Yanor Londo.
However, for adventurers, seeing a residual shadow with new dialogue in a new place is considered truly seeing their companion again.
When it comes to the most inspiring friendly residual shadow in Sain Dungeon, none other than the Sun Warrior Solar fits the bill.
Not to mention, just seeing the light before them already provided a great sense of comfort, and combined with Solar’s iconic praising the sun entrance gesture, it was enough to uplift both body and spirit.
Previously, Leon and the others had tried various illumination methods, but strangely, none of the lighting methods were effective in the Giant Tomb.
The light they painstakingly managed to produce instead exposed themselves to the lurking monsters, and the skeletons would go into a frenzy upon seeing the light, so it seemed better not to illuminate and rely solely on their Fighting Qi Perception to act.
Therefore, the Fran Guard, with their enhanced perception abilities bolstered by Wolf Blood, were more agile in the Giant Tomb.
As it turns out, they now discovered that the assistant Solar, appearing as a spiritual body, could actually provide lighting over a certain range, making him a human-shaped torch.
"So the correct way to illuminate is to summon other assistants...?" Dal pondered upon seeing this.
As for why Solar would appear here, the reason is actually quite evident.
"There’s a fog gate over there."
Through their perspective, they could see a more expansive underground space appear before them. Narrow stone bridges crisscrossed in the air, and just looking from a distance made one feel like they could slip and fall at any moment, let alone traversing them personally.
The lingering darkness seemed to lighten somewhat, but still pitch-black as far as the eye could see. Leon and the others could discern the structure mainly because of Solar’s considerate throw of a Giant Thunder Spear into the air.
The flash from the Giant Thunder Spear briefly illuminated the darkness, allowing people to see the extremely dangerous path and catch sight of the numerous Skull Demons gathered there, lying on the road, climbing the walls, hanging from the ceiling, or clinging under the bridge, so many that they couldn’t be counted.
The number of Skull Demons was enough to form countless soccer teams and easily hold a league match.
Looking beyond this perilous path, there was the only place not covered by darkness in the distance.
It was a fog gate.
Leon couldn’t help but rub his forehead, looking around as if searching for something.
"Boss, what are you looking for?"
"I’m looking for a bonfire."
There were no signs of any bonfire here, and it seemed unlikely there would be hidden shortcuts, so...
"So, we’re going to challenge this place that looks like a Big Tree Hole without any bonfire?"
Leon’s mouth began to twitch.
"Yes, but take it easy, I will help you, hahaha."
Solar’s hearty laughter wasn’t quite lifting the spirits.
The underground space before them reminded Leon of the initial Big Tree Hole map in Sain Dungeon; merely looking at the terrain, the unpleasantness of both seemed roughly equal.
But fortunately, there shouldn’t be any Mushroom Men in the underground cemetery, right?
"Clatter, clatter!"
The sound of Skeleton Demons’ activity came from behind again; those persistent creatures began to regroup.
"Gale!"
Drew summoned a gale to blow the scattered bones away, delaying the monsters’ regeneration, saying to everyone: "Let’s go, it’s getting more dangerous if we keep hesitating."
"We can only move forward."
Leon and the others prepared to step onto the narrow, suspended stone path, only to start dealing with monsters popping up from who-knows-where after just a few steps, while Dal, bringing up the rear, placed a total of four Enemy Attraction Skulls and caught up.
He strategically placed four skulls in sequence at intervals to maximally slow down the chasing Skull Demons behind them.
If they moved quickly enough, when the Skull Demons recovered from the influence of the skulls, they might have already lost track of them.
Looking back, he saw that everyone under Solar’s lead had already advanced a good distance, increasing their advancement efficiency.
Dal kicked any remaining bones off the cliffside as he caught up. In this way, even if the Skeleton Demons did eventually revive, they wouldn’t be able to leap up from several hundred meters below to attack them.
"Solar, Solar, why are you here?"
Amidst the sounds of intense battle came Maru’s question to Solar.
