Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 899 - 594: Battle Festival (Part 1)

"The Latan Festival has begun!"

Jie Lian roared one last time, slamming his sword blade into the ground, and a giant Teleportation Array illuminated the plaza, instantly enveloping everyone within it.

The next moment, the once-crowded plaza was empty again, with even Jie Lian on the city wall nowhere to be seen.

At this very moment.

On the endless desert wasteland, the figures of the festival participants slowly appeared.

"Is this the place where the great battle occurred in the images?"

Everyone looked around, only to see an endless wasteland filled with corpses and weapons.

Under the blood-red sky covering the stars, tattered banners fluttered on the sand dunes.

The wasteland was shrouded in a persistent blood-red hue; it should have been a starry night, but it looked more like twilight, enhancing the battlefield atmosphere.

"Wow, I feel like I'm in a war," Maru jumped out of the crowd, exclaiming in the biggest awe of her life.

"There are Summoning Runes here, you can summon those illusory figures for battle!"

Someone discovered scattered Summoning Runes on the ground, allowing those illusory residual shadow characters to be summoned here.

[Assistant "Old Man" summoned]

[Assistant "Lainiel" summoned]

[Assistant "Patch" summoned]

In a short while, many illusory figures were summoned.

"Form up, get ready for battle!" Temude loudly commanded, the army lined up as an extension of his body, soldiers tearing open the standardized army scrolls, with various magical enhancements previously inscribed flashing on their bodies.

The adventurers were also readying themselves, and after seeing the army move, they too began to act, each displaying their skills, with various Beneficial Magic flashing across the field.

The Princess Guardians and Sun Warriors, two sworn groups that can complement each other perfectly, but others also have their unique skills.

If someone were to cast a [Regressive Principle] right now, everyone would probably lose their minds.

During the bustling preparations, Luluwo and her Strategy Group suddenly broke away from the main forces, each carrying mobile live broadcast equipment, perfectly connected with Black Stone City's Projection Magic.

"I knew the venue would shift at the start of the battle, luckily, I prepared several in advance."

Luluwo adjusted the camera while looking at the main forces, talking to herself:

"Feel free to enjoy the festival, my job is to broadcast your blood-shedding heads in a heated battle."

For once, she's really kind, deserving a thumbs-up.

The outside world had been worried because the projection suddenly went dark, but once her broadcast started transmitting the scene, cheers erupted, with everyone praising the unknown cameraman.

Luluwo could almost feel her merits rapidly increasing, but in the next second, all her hairs stood on end, sensing a deadly chill.

She turned around in less than a second, looking towards the source of danger, simultaneously shouting:

"Look over there!"

Those casting Beneficial Magic and the cameras all turned towards a certain spot on the wasteland.

People outside craned their necks to see, and under the blood-red sky stood a familiar giant shadow, majestic and unyielding.

Even though it was slightly hunched with eyes filled with unclear consciousness, just standing there exuded an unparalleled aura!

Just seeing him made the battle festival's war song echo in people's ears, their blood rushing to their heads.

"It's Latan!"

"Finally, a living one!"

"Battle! Begin!"

The audience erupted into a tidal wave of bloodthirsty cries, as if transmitted through the projection to the participants, causing everyone to pause.

"Charge!"

Temude ordered without hesitation, launching a full assault!

At that moment, crystalline dust formed luminous "eggshells" over everyone, the dust merging, forming a giant Protective Shield enveloping all.

This was the latest Defense Magic from Magic Professor Turci, specializing in magical protections within the army.

"Professor, applying spells to so many people at once, aren't you tired?" Roger, riding on the female fire dragon, asked Turci beside him.

"This is my latest Defense Magic, I call it [United Strength]."

Turci proudly waved her slender white fingers, saying:

"The difference from traditional Defense Magic is that the magic power needed to sustain it doesn't come from the spellcaster, but from those it's cast upon, and because the Protective Shield is fragile, even children can maintain it for over half an hour."

"Then, what about its defensive capabilities?"

"Of course, there are some! Its feature is that, when multiple enhanceds gather, their shields merge, and the defense becomes stronger—the more people, the higher the defense!"

Turci looked at the giant "eggshell" enveloping the entire force, as if admiring her masterpiece, saying:

"In a shield of this scale, it might even withstand weaker Forbidden Curses! The only drawback is it can't be cast repeatedly, and it's rather challenging to learn."
