Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 897 - 594: Battle Festival (Part 1)_3
"During the Broken War, the mightiest demigod, General Latan awaits you."
"Warriors, fight! Defeat the formidable enemy with honor and claim the Great Rune!"
"The Battle Festival begins! The Latan Festival begins!"
A few simple phrases set people's blood ablaze!
Hearing this, could it be that the Shattered Star General Latan is about to arrive, and in what manner will he make his appearance? Could he descend directly from the heavens?
As people speculated, Jie Lian spoke again, this time his tone resembled a calm narrator.
"Before the festival begins, let me tell you something."
As soon as he finished speaking, a new image appeared before everyone's eyes, even the projection in Black Stone City was the same.
"The aftermath of that war."
Outsiders couldn't help but question: "Why is there new footage? How extravagant."
The new image slowly unfolded before the crowd, yet the scene was familiar to most people.
In a barren land stained crimson by the sky, the Shattered Star General Latan and Valkyrie Marionia were confronting each other.
This was a scene known to those who had ventured into the Dungeon, appearing in the opening introduction of the Sain Dungeon. Following this segment was the classic introduction stage, where one awe-inspiring title after another would often leave adventurers utterly bewildered.
But why is it appearing again?
"Something's not right, look, it seems like Marionia is at a disadvantage!"
Perceptive observers noticed that both bore titles involving "god," yet Marionia was holding her arm in exhaustion, while Latan stood firmly, arms crossed. It was clear the Valkyrie was at a disadvantage!
"Could it be?" Someone in the crowd suddenly realized something, instantly staring nervously at the projection.
"Crack—"
Marionia did not fall. Instead, she attached a brass prosthetic limb to her empty arm, and sharp blades shot out from the prosthetic. Only now did people realize that her arm was artificial!
Latan called forth his heavy dual blades, adopting a battle stance. The broad shadow he cast enveloped the relatively petite Valkyrie.
This scene made the Shattered Star General appear like a final boss awaiting a challenger. Just the thought of being his challenger was enough to make one tremble.
However, everyone present was rooting for Latan, so this scene seemed particularly stylish to them!
"Are they really going to fight?"
"Seeing their battle as a prelude before the start, how lucky!"
At the thought of witnessing the upcoming spectacular battle, even beggars on the street displayed bloodthirsty smiles!
Just as everyone anticipated a fight between the two, they indeed began to fight.
Marionia charged forward with unseeable speed, while Latan's rock-embedded greatsword swung down thunderously. The former evaded with indescribable agility; the encounter left everyone exhilarated.
But in the next moment, the battle came to an abrupt halt.
For Marionia somehow appeared on Latan's back, seemingly with golden needle-like light flashing by. When people noticed, they saw Marionia had stabbed her own chest with her sword.
Blood flowed along the blade, spilling onto Latan. Onlookers stared dumbfounded, not understanding this turn of events.
Jie Lian's voice rang out at this moment.
"That day marked the spread of corruption throughout Galide."
As the voice faded, the flowers bloomed.
"What is that!" someone exclaimed in the crowd.
From Marionia's body sprouted crimson petals!
The petals layered upon each other, forming a vivid, dripping bud emerging on the wasteland, contrasting sharply with its surroundings.
However, its appearance did not bring a trace of "life" to the wasteland.
It was a beautiful flower not even the botanical experts of the Elf race had seen, elegant, brilliant, yet full of deadly implication.
Adventurers who once perished to the Crimson Corruption in Sain Dungeon shivered collectively, as if beholding a terrifying Evil God!
The next moment, the flower blossomed!
By Marionia's hand, an extraordinarily vibrant flower bloomed upon Latan's body.
Those who died to the Crimson Corruption didn't even shiver any longer, but fell flat on the ground in exaggerated responses, a large section of Black Stone City collapsing!
No one had leisure to admire the beauty of the flower because even someone who was not blind could see what emerged after its blossoming.
It was the Crimson Corruption!
Red-white mingled, like vile bacteria, the Crimson Corruption spread from the blooming flower at a pace visible to the naked eye, faster than a prairie fire!
It was practically a pestilence outbreak!
Latan's figure was swallowed at the explosion's center, the entire wasteland covered by the Crimson Corruption in the blink of an eye, with even the few remaining plants instantly perishing, any breath of life swiftly being taken away.
The perspective infinitely pulled up, from the wasteland to Galide, then to the entire Boundary Land, a crimson corruption flower seen blooming as it rapidly stained the Galide lands from above—
Until finally, the map of the Boundary Land showed a glaring crimson expanse.
