Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 948 - 622: Go, Midir

What's going on?

Grandpa got eaten?

Abel had never seen his grandpa so defeated before. Come to think of it, even when others challenged Elo, they couldn't touch him when he was in high-speed movement mode.

Originally, Gui Ao'er's roar, a wide-ranging area attack skill, was shocking enough when it shattered the surface scales of Elo.

When Abel saw Elo's scales regrow flawlessly, looking as relaxed as ever, he almost wanted to pop champagne on the spot to celebrate.

However, as mighty as Elo appeared, he suddenly got swallowed.

Swallowed smoothly by Gui Ao'er's wide-open mouth!

How could Gui Ao'er's bite be faster than Elo's escape speed?

"Oh no, oh no, what should we do now."

Abel took a deep breath, called out to his companions, and said, "Let's go, hit her stomach and rescue the clan leader!"

"Awooo!"

The group of technically immature two-legged dragons roared twice and charged at Gui Ao'er, with red ones spewing fire, green ones belching acid, and yellow ones sharpening claws, trying their utmost to save their clan leader.

However, halfway through their charge, suddenly some dragons stopped, then others also began to hover in mid-air.

It wasn't because they were afraid to fight, but because they realized something.

"This big fellow... doesn't seem like it can roll over?"

The group exchanged glances, looking at Gui Ao'er's scales, which appeared rock-like but were much harder, and fell silent.

The other side seemed immobile, and they couldn't just pierce through its scales. As for forcibly flipping Gui Ao'er over... that's not something minors, well, minor dragons, should be contemplating.

"How about we do this instead."

Abel took a few candles out of the belly of a large-stomached white dragon nearby, lit them with fire from his mouth, and handed one to each dragon. They then formed a circle.

Could this be some secret dragon clan magic ritual? Were they about to launch a powerful magic spell!

Watching from afar, Gong Qiying was quite intrigued by their actions, subtly controlling Gui Ao'er's movements, ready to adjust based on the situation.

At this moment, Abel, standing solemnly in the center, said:

"Don't speak. Let's bless the clan leader and pray for his safe escape."

"Blessings, blessings."

"Exactly, that's what we should do."

The dragons unanimously approved of the suggestion, each closing their eyes, standing still in the air.

"..."

Gong Qiying remained silent.

Despite thinking of many unique combat tactics, none seemed suitable for this standstill situation.

"Dragon clan ties are relatively indifferent, so this isn't surprising." Red Teeth took on the role of commentator, looking at Gong Qiying, and asked, "Did you really let Gui Ao'er swallow the old guy whole? This probably won't kill him, and if he breaks out, it could get messy."

"It's alright, if I don't release him, he probably won't get out. Probably." Gong Qiying appeared to be thinking and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to see me thrash him? Any special requests? How about I try Sky Comet Dragon?"

"That sounds good."

Red Teeth nodded cheerfully but then suddenly changed, shaking his head vigorously.

"No, no, that's not good!"

"What happened?" Gong Qiying was a bit surprised; he thought Red Teeth would be thrilled to see Sky Comet Dragon. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Red Teeth replied seriously:

"I'm worried Sky Comet Dragon might actually please that old thing too much."

"...."

This was Gong Qiying's second silence of the day.

"So just go with something ugly, right," Gong Qiying patted his face, trying to pull himself together, silently canceling the Sky Comet Dragon he had just selected.

But at this point, Red Teeth, looking conflicted, said again: "Maybe using Sky Comet Dragon is fine, show that old geezer what beauty is, but it feels like letting him off too easy..."

"Enough, I'll make my own decision, just watch."

Gong Qiying sighed, deciding for himself.

His fingers rapidly tapped on the available monster options.

Meanwhile, inside Gui Ao'er, rather inside her stomach.

Swallowed-down Elo felt a murky sense of chaos, hard to describe, like being in a weightless void, surrounded by sticky, unseen things.

This place was definitely not what the insides of a creature should look like; he realized he had entered a different space formed by some special power.

To be precise, this was the [Painting World], or by its original name, [The World You Cannot Leave Without Victory].

Inside Gui Ao'er's mouth was an embedded painting world; what a genius concept.

Elo now just wants to quickly find a way out.

When he was young, although he played around, he never played such heavy taste games like swallowing pills with his lover. Just thinking about being inside a fellow being's stomach made him feel nauseous.

"Why can't we communicate properly? Refusing to communicate with me?" He was still puzzled by Gui Ao'er's reaction.

At this moment, as if Pangu had opened the heavens and the earth, the surrounding chaos suddenly cracked open, revealing a faint and not very bright light that instantly shone on Elo, who immediately poked his head out of the crack.

He was originally just trying to test the scenery outside, but a force directly kicked him out.

When he regained his balance, he was faced with a huge space of utter darkness.

This place seemed like an underground area, where thick black mud flowed everywhere, and even light seemed to be swallowed by the darkness here.

It was like a dark abyss, capable of awakening the most primitive fear in every living creature.

"What is this black mud?"

The mud on the ground made Elo feel uneasy, and he sensed a deeply evil power from it, a power that was also highly aggressive.

If Dal were here, he would immediately recognize this black mud as the Abyss.

"!!!"

The ground suddenly began to tremble at this moment, and Elo flew up into the sky, his gaze sharp, immediately locking onto the source of the trembling ground.

It was a massive black dragon, its black scales almost merging with the black mud of the ground.

[Midir the Devourer of Darkness]

This giant dragon, known to adventurers as a classic character in the world of meat pigeons, fully revealed its form for the first time.

The abyss gathered on the ground began to float upward against gravity under its roar, like a tempest with time reversing, with each drop of the abyss forming in the image of humanity.

Midir's tainted, incomplete wings suddenly spread open, white-purple light exploding around them, and Elo sensed a dangerous aura!

Countless human-like forms suddenly locked onto him, surging toward him like an ocean's angry waves!

"Who is this?"

Elo's back suddenly sprouted golden wings, aiding him in stirring up a storm, but the storm could not sway the human forms in the slightest, as if the storm and humanity were two undisturbed layers. Surprised, he flapped his wings and soared into the sky, with the pitch-black forms in hot pursuit.

He was bewildered now, was there a black dragon hidden inside Gui Ao'er's stomach?

Moreover, why did this black dragon seem even stronger than Gui Ao'er?

So strong that even Elo himself couldn't help but become serious.

This situation couldn't be one of those absurd scenarios where a black dragon was hidden in Gui Ao'er's stomach; it had to be something else at play. But to find out what that something was, he would first have to deal with the black dragon.

He could not sense beauty or intelligence from Midir; its body was tainted and twisted by the black mud, its reason seemingly dissipated, leaving only rage and madness, incapable of any form of communication, especially compared to Gui Ao'er, who was calm and composed.

This was not a beautiful dragon, but an unmistakably maddened warrior!

"Air——"

The air exploded with a roar as his high-speed movement broke through it. Elo, with muscles swollen, dashed in the blink of an eye to stand before Midir, his arms fully covered in golden scales carried terrifying power capable of breaking mountains and ground, striking toward the foe.

At this moment, flames began to leak from the gaps between Midir's sharp teeth, flames tinged with darkness from its core.

Elo sensed a similar aura to the black mud from the dark parts, powers he had never understood or encountered before.

But if the manifestation was simply in the form of flames, he could adapt to it.

A distinct characteristic of the Golden Dragons, besides their powerful physique, was their exceptional adaptability. They could rapidly adjust to various attacks, minimizing the damage inflicted upon them.

As the strongest among the Golden Dragons, Elo's adaptability was unprecedentedly strong. Even considering that dodging would reduce the impact of his punch, he intended to charge straight into Midir's flaming breath.

However, white-purple flashes shimmered within the flames.

The next moment, as Elo's fist connected with Midir's head, a destructive white-purple laser burst through the flames, spewing monstrously from Midir's mouth, reminiscent of Godzilla releasing its atomic breath!

Half of Elo's body was engulfed in the laser, but the force of his punch caused Midir's head to tic to the side, misdirecting the laser.

"What terrifying power."

Elo quickly dodged into a blind spot, the half of his body hit by the laser now charred and blackened, with blood and flesh rapidly regenerating. However...

The Abyss lingered on him, blocking the restoration of his power even as his flesh healed.

"What on earth is this creepy stuff?" His expression was not quite flustered, more filled with bewilderment. There were things in this world he had never seen before.

Moreover...his body seemed temporarily unable to adapt to this thing!

"I underestimated the enemy," his eyes grew completely serious, focusing on Midir regathering itself, deciding to fight with all his might and without reservation.

The entire scene appeared at this moment like a mirror hit by a stone, cracking layer by layer, then suddenly shattering before Elo could react!

Fresh air suddenly flooded his nostrils, and in the blink of an eye, he had moved from the pitch-black abyss to a forest filled with the sounds of chirping birds and fragrant flowers.

"?"

Elo slowly formed a question mark, wondering what was going on?

Yet in that instant, he sharply sensed a similarly powerful signal not far away.

That signal was also from a dragon.

[Heavenly Returning Dragon]
