Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 974 - 643: The Dragon Feast’s Failures

In the Yanor Kingdom, dragons are a rare spectacle, so rare that any news of their appearance attracts a crowd eager to catch a glimpse.

At the same time, dragons symbolize the pinnacle of strength. Without magic, few creatures can rely solely on their own power to contend with the Dragon Clan.

If all supernatural elements suddenly vanished from this world, given the current situation, it's likely the Dragon Clan could dominate unchallenged for a significant period based on physical prowess alone.

Wait, isn't the existence of dragons itself considered a supernatural element?

Let's not worry about that.

A year ago, Luluwo could never have imagined she'd one day be dealing with dragons.

It's all thanks to my own efforts and the Sain Dungeon~

Guarded by a group of dragons, Luluwo stepped out of the Dragon Nest, reveling in the attention of the Imperial Capital's citizens, humming with thoughts like these.

To think I could connect with legendary giant dragons, and right away meet the chief of the Two-legged Dragon clan—my future looks bright indeed!

Heh heh, Dragon Clan, rare Dragon Clan, I've talked to a rare race as a human~

After a while, Luluwo no longer felt proud of this, because after walking the streets for a bit she suddenly realized.

"There are so many dragons around here..."

Not knowing whether she had wandered into some strange area, it felt like dragons filled the streets, along with many humans who had undergone Dragon Feast, occasionally transforming a dragon head and howling.

Directly desensitizing Luluwo.

Looking back, it seems hanging out daily with adventurers who had undergone Dragon Feast has made her not so enamored with dragons anymore.

The giant creatures seen in the Sain Dungeon are really abundant, Dragon Clan... their size doesn't seem to cause any shocking impact.

"That's right, this is the street we often visit near the adventurer's guild."

She looked up towards the distance, suddenly discovering a weird fact: these dragons seemed all headed for the adventurer's guild.

Damn it, dragons becoming adventurers, will this finally raise the standards of the profession!?

"Captain, it seems we've been inside the Sain Dungeon for quite some time," Berto said, "Exploring so diligently we forgot about time, and these days something's happened in the city again."

"What is it?"

Then, the team quickly learned the latest developments in the city from teammates who stayed behind.

Firstly, the failed Dragon Feast participants appeared.

The Great Dragon Feast Church had already provided all sorts of information, insisting that one must challenge a giant dragon personally before consuming the heart and undergoing Dragon Feast, but to some people, it seemed like stiff rules not necessarily to be followed.

Thus, whether buying from the market, hiring others as dragon slayers to capture hearts, or other means, some less skilled individuals acquired dragon hearts, then underwent Dragon Feast.

Those guys failed, and for quite some time, remained undiscovered, their whereabouts unknown.

Now finally some among them appeared in the city, revealing their whereabouts.

"I, I felt immense pain after swallowing the dragon heart, an unbearable kind of pain, rolling on the ground just wishing it would end, eventually I lost consciousness, when I came to I found I had turned into a dragon."

"Not only did my body transform into a dragon, but my insides seemed stuffed with a dragon's soul, I couldn't control my body, those days it was that dragon controlling my body, performing all kinds of scary activities in the dungeon—no doubt about it, hell!"

"I thought I'd become a dragon living in the dungeon forever, fortunately after seven or eight days I managed to transform back, thank Heaven, it must be divine mercy."

"I've had enough... I dare not attempt Dragon Feast again... such a thing doesn't suit me."

This information comes from the adventurer's guild's interview records with failed Dragon Feast participants.

Previously, there were rumors among adventurers about Fran Guard's failed Wolf Blood Trial participants potentially turning into mindless wolfmen roaming the Sain Dungeon, but firsthand experiences were so rare as to be almost nonexistent.

Now there are so many failed Dragon Feast participants with deathly appearances terrifying everyone, acting as a harsh warning to those who hold casual fantasies about Dragon Feast, curbing the unchecked Dragon Feast fervor in the Lower City.

However, the negative effect of transforming into a dragon unexpectedly attracted certain strange enthusiasts, even becoming a bizarre event akin to a "test of courage."

"Berto, what do you say we host an event for the wealthy, offering them the experience of transforming into a dragon?"

"Captain, you're a genius, captain, you're brilliant."

Apart from the failed Dragon Feast participants, another thing is that the long-awaited War Festival in the Warrior Country has finally reopened. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

It's currently being splendidly held, warriors from all over are slaughtering each other in the arena.

But the people of the Warrior Country have really seen enough of slaughter recently.

Aside from battles in the Sain Dungeon, the Thirty Heroes of Glory Dungeon provide daily dazzling match videos, causing celebrations in certain areas, and this range keeps expanding, soon making the Thirty Heroes a trend.

Under the backdrop of battles with demigods, heroes, giant dragons, and Pokemon among others.

The pure human battles at the War Festival seem bland, lacking novelty, and unexpectedly low in discussion.

Now those who care about the War Festival seem attracted by something else.

That is their esteemed "Court Great Magic Sage" Younka master has finally publicly met with Professor Turci and others representing the Magic Association.

Facing a series of accusations of plagiarism from Professor Turci, Younka has countered each magical claim with evidence.

Currently, both sides are passionately debating back and forth in the Imperial Capital.

This matter has garnered the attention of most Warrior Country citizens, with foreign countries observing closely, and no conclusion yet.

It's said Younka plans to settle this dispute on the day the War Festival ends, though it's uncertain what means he'll use to resolve the issue.

Thus the most discussed topic is how the beloved master can maintain his honor.

And how he can save his nearly bankrupt magical belief's presence.

"Professor Turci, though I haven't had much contact, I really hope she wins,"

"Captain, why do you say that?"

"Last month heard a neighboring country to Yanor Kingdom had a new type of monster causing mental disorders and sucking souls, it turned into a calamity because they couldn't deal with it, but Turci went over and used a spell called [Expecto Patronum] to calm the disaster and, incidentally, this magic is said to originate from Reyalucaria."

Luluwo took out her magic wand and waved it casually and said:

"Thus I kind of want to support Professor Turci, by the way, those who experienced Black Hawk's Chaos must be supporting her, she helped a lot back then too."

She entered the adventurer's guild with her companions, heading directly to the second floor, asking the attendant for some drinks.

She came to the guild because silver-level adventurers here can enjoy some perks like drinking high-level wine for free, as long as they don't exploit too much.

"Let's relax for two days."

Luluwo sipped the high-level wine, feeling refreshed all over.

"In a few days, let's coordinate with the Dragon Nest, get familiar with teamwork, then when Fudolin returns we can set out."

Their recently picked up lucky teammate Fudolin naturally isn't here; she's staying in the Dragon Nest preparing with Abel and others for departure.

The goal is the Cangyin Dungeon!

This time let's plunder all the delicious plants from there!

Meanwhile, in the Sain Dungeon, within the City Lord's room.

Gong Qiying received a thank-you letter from Heiniss, whose content was so absurd he read it aloud.

"The strange taste of hybrid plants has attracted many dragons to come and taste, though it feels like the dungeon's prestige has completely vanished, the spiritual power has become countless nonetheless, now I feel I could even support Gedwin, sorry sorry, I'm joking, anyway, thank you again Gedwin for your help!"

"Become a canteen for Dragon Clan because of hybrid plants...."

Though Heiniss's regret is apparent between the lines, it seems she desires a dungeon admired and feared like Sain.

"But this also seems quite alright."
