Thanks to the youkai in the Forest of the Mountain God for a reward of 100 starting coins.

………………

Dozens of black shadows rose from the bottom of the pit.

Perhaps these black shadows had become frightened of the previous scene, and they kept wandering in the void, roaring, but they did not dare to approach the people of Sulu on the stairs.

"What the hell is that monster?"

Sulu asked in a low voice as he looked at the monsters in the air in confusion.

A dwarf-like pitch-black body, thin limbs, and a pair of huge bat wings on its back...... It's like a deformed vampire.

He didn't remember any of these monsters in the game.

"I don't know...... But they exude an aura of darkness and are likely to be some kind of mutated dark creatures. ”

Silver Priest Partres shook her head and said.

"Well, rest for a while on that platform in front of you, and then keep walking, everyone must be vigilant."

Sulu frowned and said slowly.

Now that we have almost reached the bottom, how can we just give up.

Moreover, with the protection of the silver priest Partris of the gold rank, there should be no danger.

But...... There is a premise.

That is to make sure that everyone has enough combat ability, after all, everyone is so tired that even Sulu himself can barely walk.

It's not far from the next platform, so it's best to use that place as a resting spot.

"Quack!"

Suddenly, the monsters floating in the air roared at the people of Sulu and swooped down to the bottom of the pit.

What's going on, what do they want to do?

The actions of these monsters aroused Sulu's suspicions, and he didn't think that these guys had given up attacking them.

"Could it be that they came from the gates of hell in the diary?"

Sulu glanced suspiciously at the deep pit covered in dark blue light below, and whispered.

If that's the case, the level of the monster boss shouldn't be very high.

In a few moments, Sulu and his party reached the rock platform safely.

There were no incidents, not even the vampire-like monsters, as if they had completely disappeared.

"Rest in place."

After arranging for some Silver Lion soldiers to be on guard, Sulu directly found a chair to sit down.

Although the chair was still covered with a layer of dust, he didn't mind, after all, the most important thing now was to rest.

Just as Sulu was about to take a sip of water, a sudden feeling of sleepiness surged through his mind.

This drowsiness came very suddenly, just like when you finally lay in bed after a busy day, your eyes were so heavy that you couldn't help but close your eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Sulu shook his head, trying to bring his consciousness back to his senses.

However, this action did not have any effect, but made the sleepiness more and more intense.

Is there something wrong with the body?

In a trance, Sulu found that the images in front of him were distorted.

Looking at these distorted and strange pictures, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of nausea in his heart, and his chest was stuffy, very uncomfortable.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, Sulu's heart sank, as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

"Huhuhu...... Partris...... Hey? ”

Su Lu gasped and hurriedly looked at the silver priest beside him.

But when he looked at it, he found that he was no longer on a rocky platform, but standing in a splendid palace.

The palace hall was so vast that it felt bigger than the entire Blackstone town, as if he were in the world of a giant, and his figure was as small as an ant.

What exactly is this place?

Sulu looked around suspiciously, trying to find some clues.

A moment ago, he was still on the rock platform of the mine, how could he suddenly appear in this strange palace, could it be that he touched some teleportation mechanism?

"Wait, is it an illusion?"

Su Lu was shocked, and quickly reached out to pinch his face.

Able to feel pain......

In other words, this is not a fantasy, but a real world?

"Damn it!"

Thinking of this, Sulu's face couldn't help but be gloomy.

Whether this is the real world or not, you must find a way to get out of this hellish place.

Looking around, Sulu found that there were only two directions forward.

Going forward is the middle of the palace hall, a high throne.

Walking back was the main entrance of the palace hall, and by opening it, he could leave the wide hall.

In an instant, Sulu couldn't help but feel a hint of hesitation.

Either way, he is greeted by an unknown future.

"Open that door? No...... That door must not be opened. ”

Sulu groaned and turned towards the main entrance of the palace hall.

But he had barely taken a step when his legs stopped and his eyes looked at the splendid palace gate in disbelief.

Monster...... Endless monsters are waiting outside the door.

Just a moment ago, the palace gate was briefly transparent, revealing a scene on the other side of the door.

Although it was only for a moment, Sulu was sure that he was not mistaken.

"What the hell is this place, dungeon?"

Sulu scolded in a low voice with an unusually ugly face.

Since you can't open the gate now, you can only explore the throne and maybe find a way to leave.

He had no other choice......

The sound of his footsteps alone looked particularly strange in this empty palace.

As Sulu approached the throne, an illusory figure suddenly appeared on the throne.

Looking closely, I saw that the figure was dressed in luxurious imperial clothes, and in his hand he held a golden scepter that symbolized the power of the kingdom.

But his face was very hazy, and he couldn't see it clearly.

“……”

Sulu looked at the figure warily, hesitating to step back some distance.

"You're here? I've been waiting for a long time, and I can't imagine that you'll finally make a choice. ”

Suddenly, the illusory figure sat down on the throne wearily and spoke in a loud voice.

Is this guy talking to me?

Hearing this, Sulu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Just when he was puzzled, a voice came from behind him again: "Dest, betrayal, will never be forgiven, now this will be your graveyard, and your body will be nailed to the torture stake, and you will be punished by the Light!" ”

Turning his head to look, he saw that the originally empty area was already full of soldiers with sharp spears.

Dest?

Hearing the name, Sulu's chaotic mind immediately cleared.

Isn't that the name of the founder of Darkherd?

Could it be that everything in front of me was a dream, from the echo of Dest's blood?

But...... There was a doubt in Sulu's mind.

Since it was a dream, why did he feel pain, and the existence of **?
