I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 345 - 223: Death’s Door Demigod, Molten Core (Double-Length)
[You have slain the Chain Spirit and gained Combat Experience.]
[You have slain the Lamp-bearing Patrol and gained Combat Experience.]
Several Monsters fell once more in the Lava Rock Prison’s underground dungeon.
On the staircase leading underground, numerous Lamp-bearing Patrols roamed, occasionally accompanied by a few troublesome Guardians.
However, under the joint effort of Rogel and Weinan’s Sea Beast, these Monsters posed little threat and were quickly dealt with.
[So, the purpose of the Lord Church luring you to the Lava Rock Prison was to use its peculiarities to eliminate you?]
Rogel spoke at this moment.
In the memory Weinan provided earlier, there was plenty of information.
Including information about herself, of course.
From the moment Weinan summoned the Sea Beast with the "Forbidden Appearance," she possessed an Angel Tier Sea Beast.
Despite the Lord Church’s dominant influence, the Tier of her Sea Beast was undeniable.
Thus, the Lord Church had always maintained a cautious attitude toward Weinan.
An Angel-level combat power is not so easily subdued.
Not to mention she carries the unique bloodline of the Yudona Imperial Family.
[If it weren’t for your help, they probably would have succeeded.]
Weinan did not deny it but rather agreed with Rogel and expressed gratitude.
It seems that the Lord Church already knew about the Lava Rock Prison and were well aware of the [Black Fog Traits] present there, capable of significantly weakening Tier Power.
Moreover, from the fact they hadn’t been attacked by the Prison Chains previously, it appears they might have used some special method of handling.
Yet, Rogel couldn’t find the reason for this method; he didn’t even gather anything useful, just a few broken Marks.
[After obtaining the Demigod Embers, you should be able to become a Demigod, right?]
Rogel rubbed his chin, looking at her with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Weinan naturally understood what he was curious about.
[This is just the first step.]
[After acquiring the Demigod Embers, I also need to find the Ascension method... It’s a step that cannot be avoided on any Extraordinary Path...]
Weinan sighed slightly, a trace of worry in her gaze.
Ascension method...
Is it the Ascension Magic Potion? Unlikely — it’s the bottleneck of the human race; other naturally Extraordinary Creatures should not have such limitations, right?
Rogel pondered.
Noticing Rogel’s confusion, Weinan explained once more.
[Specifically, it’s about searching for the Ascension Ceremony.]
[Only by finding the correct Ascension Ceremony can the unclaimed Embers reignite and become a true Demigod; it’s a hurdle in any being’s Ascension.]
Weinan said.
Upon hearing this, Rogel nodded in agreement.
It seems the further they proceed, the stricter the Ascension requirements become.
[The Ascension Ceremony is also perilous, with a high probability of failure.]
[If it fails... the consequences are unimaginable.]
Weinan seemingly found it challenging to find someone to confide in, speaking at length with Rogel.
Rogel nodded thoughtfully.
During the conversation, Rogel and Weinan continued to advance.
Along the way, they encountered numerous scattered Monsters.
These Monsters didn’t drop anything valuable either.
The distinction between Cave Monsters and those outside lies primarily in their drops.
Monsters outside the Cave drop items more "realistically"; they’re less likely to drop items unrelated to themselves or not found on their bodies.
Of course, Rogel wasn’t expecting to find treasures from them.
Below, the dungeon still contained numerous "prisoners."
However, most were Lost Souls, some even converted directly into Guardians.
Among them appeared a new Monster, a spherical entity made up of shackles, chains, and other prison instruments — the Chain Spirit.
Though not particularly strong, it did present some troubles for the two.
In several special cells, Rogel managed to find some equipment, though not very practical.
After traversing repeated layers of the dungeon, with little interaction, the two reached the end of the staircase.
The path leading downward came to an end.
Before them stretched a wide, dark corridor, still shrouded in black smoke, obscuring the path ahead.
Rogel and Weinan exchanged glances but said nothing, instinctively moving forward, remaining vigilant of possible Monster appearances.
Upon reaching a certain point, Weinan’s expression suddenly changed, her gaze solemn as she looked ahead.
Noticing her reaction, Rogel stopped as well, becoming cautious.
After several battles, Rogel had a rough understanding of Weinan’s abilities.
Though she does possess combat skills, she’s more adept at functional abilities.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been besieged by a group of Lord Church followers and caught in danger.
Among these, her Perception Ability counts as one.
Undoubtedly, she had sensed something.
If they were correct, a formidable enemy lay ahead.
As they continued their advance, the space gradually opened up.
They moved cautiously with each step.
In the next moment, both of their gazes simultaneously landed on a spot.
[I don’t sense any presence... it’s already dead.]
Weinan spoke, simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief.
Before them stood a decayed giant statue, shackled all over with chains.
Yet, at this moment, it showed no signs of life.
