Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1004 - 660: Spiky Mountain Summit

Thunder continuously crashes down around him, yet none ever truly strike their mark.

All the demon dragons are rushing forward like they're possessed, clawing their way up the mountainous terrain when the rough paths are too narrow for their massive bodies.

If there were any more dragons, it would probably resemble a zombie siege.

Gapar is still hitching a ride on the Great Demon Dragon's body, taking in the surrounding scenery.

He feels like he might be the only one who truly senses the atmosphere here.

Red lightning crashes down around him constantly but rarely ever hits him; if he were an ordinary person, his psychological pressure would likely be through the roof, unsure of where the next strike might land. The demon dragons, however, frequently get struck, given their sheer size.

The current atmosphere is extremely oppressive. The entire Spiky Mountain feels like a massive cage, locking in all kinds of negative emotions. The closer one gets to the peak, the more one can feel the oppressive aura of a mighty, unknown presence.

Gapar is incredibly sensitive to the changes in his surroundings, able to feel the emotional shifts designed into the map. He's willing to immerse himself in it, to the point that as he keeps climbing upward, his palms start to sweat, as if he is truly a warrior challenging a great dragon.

Occasionally experiencing this kind of feeling is quite nice, a thrilling escape from daily life.

Honestly, his current experience still feels lacking.

After all, charging forward without knowing the Dragon Warrior's backstory, unaware of what awaits at the peak, and not encountering any other creatures along the way—the flying dragons and ancient dragons expected as elite encounters are nowhere to be seen.

The lack of narrative support does somewhat weaken the experience, but this isn't the time for such distractions.

This is a hunting ground set up by Gong Qiying for these demon dragons, quite distinct from the Spiky Mountain intended to be opened to adventurers, with many compromises made.

"Are those flowers?"

Amidst the demon dragons' mad rush, Gapar notices something.

They are red flowers, blooming in the harsh environment of Spiky Mountain, naturally drawing attention.

Originally, it was a rather ordinary scene, nothing particularly remarkable, especially since the number of flowers isn't large, one might say they're sparse.

But when Gapar notices the rusty weapons or armor often found beneath these flowers, everything feels different.

These flowers... look as if they've grown out of corpses.

Where there are flowers, there are corpses!

These flowers represent those who died on Spiky Mountain!

Unfortunately, Gapar doesn't have the time to pluck a flower for closer inspection, because by the time he realizes this, the demon dragons have already climbed to the summit of Spiky Mountain.

At the summit, there's apparently a rather spacious scene, yet it's blocked by a mountain body resembling a screen, leaving only a narrow passage for one person to traverse.

The demon dragons pay no heed, with the infected Elo leading the charge, crashing through the mountain body to finally witness the summit's scenery.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The continuous thunder rolls in this moment, like the prelude to the arrival of a super powerful final boss.

But the thunder's overwhelming presence doesn't snap Gapar back to reality because he notices, in front of him, this rather wide area...

Is covered in the very flowers he saw earlier.

The vibrant flowers cover most of the area, and discarding the surrounding atmosphere, this place would be as beautiful as a field of flowers.

However, considering his earlier suspicions, these vibrant flowers only bring to mind a sense of slaughter and horror.

Gapar doesn't know the strength of these dead, but when seeing so many flowers, he can perceive the implication of this scene, and...

The fact here really is powerful!

"Gaaaooo!"

The infected demon dragons simultaneously roar toward the sky at this moment, unleashing a roar that could kill mortals with sound alone. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

This is their provocation, a hunt for prey, trying to draw out the presence exuding a powerful dragon aura!

They succeeded, their provocation was very successful.

Without any warning, the sky suddenly changes color, initiating a torrential downpour of red thunder.

Red thunder alongside burning magma rains down like a meteor firestorm upon the land, completely obscuring Gapar's vision, making it nearly impossible to see anything.

Yet, he can feel that when this firestorm appeared, something arrived.

Descending from the sky, right before his eyes!

"Boom!"

A massive presence crashes heavily to the ground, causing the entire Spiky Mountain to tremble!

Along with it comes a roar that every Dragon Warrior has heard!

The tremendous sound wave instantly breaks through the firestorm, clearing his vision; Gapar finally sees the visitor's face clearly.

"This is..."

Without a doubt, in front of them stands a giant dragon.

A giant dragon larger than even themselves, its body colored like thick blood.

Its head is as ghastly as a demon's, its horn shape ferocious even among the Dragon Clan, its forward-leaning posture exuding aggression, as if this body is always prepared for a life-or-death battle, regardless of the enemy's identity!

But what's more unexpected is...

This dragon is incomplete.

At first glance, noticeable damage is apparent.

Large areas of its wings are damaged, its foreclaws extensively torn and exposing spike-like bone, its hind legs deeply wounded, scales damaged and uneven...

The visible injuries alone are extremely severe, so what about the unseen ones?

It's incredible; just maintaining life in this dragon already seems astonishing.

How can such an existence continue to fight? Looking like this, it ought to be receiving a pension to spend in peace at the Dragon Nest, just by its appearance, likely to be swatted dead by the Great Demon Dragon!

But its eyes are different.

There's nothing left in there but rage, the fiercest kind of gaze.

No, my feeling cannot be wrong, this dragon feels particularly—

The demon dragons' roars interrupt Gapar's thoughts, three legendary-level screams shaking the heavens and earth, causing cracks in the surrounding rock walls.

They are eager, eagerly wanting to taste the vitality of the dragon before them to fill their ravenous stomachs!

With a crazed posture, the demon dragons charge forth!

Faced with such insolence, the red giant dragon finally shows its fury, or perhaps its rage was never quelled.

Heat thunder and magma explode around it, high temperatures rapidly spreading in the air, the entire ground's rocks begin melting, all around is red, red, red! Absolute tyrannical madness exudes from the dragon!

This is ["Mad Dragon" Belle]!

As its madness manifests, not just Gapar, but even the crazed demon dragons display unprecedented reactions.

Perhaps due to shorter infection durations, Elo and Hidor cease their forward charge, their faces showing caution and calmness, whereas logically the weakest Hidor even displays fear in its eyes.

The Madness Qi Dragon with a name similar to Belle's plants its foreclaws into the ground, halting its massive body's charge, spreading its wings wide as if for courage, but this only reveals her internal unrest.

Only the most deeply infected, brainless Great Demon Dragon charges ahead relentlessly.

It is truly brave right now!

"Sigh, the reckless bravery of a fool, really useless," Gapar comments, shaking his head, "Charging in blindly at an unknown powerful enemy, these dragons really lack sense, or is it the influence of that pitch-black slime?"

While commenting, Gapar suddenly feels the temperature around him rising rapidly.

An ominous premonition sprouts in his heart as he suddenly realizes:

"I'm right on this big fool!"

"Ahhh!"

Facing the imposing charge of the Great Demon Dragon, though its body is severely incomplete, Belle still powerfully raises its shattered foreclaw, gathering red dragon lightning on the claw, narrowed down to pointed bones, and fiercely strikes toward the Great Demon Dragon!

The next moment, the earth shakes, red thunder erupts, and everything falls into silence.

Because the Great Demon Dragon's head has been smashed into the ground!

Instant kill!
