Chapter 812: Chapter 526: Magic or Combat Skill—The True Elite!

Sain Dungeon, this name is now more or less known in every country.

But for the countries surrounding the Yanor Kingdom, this name is probably well-known.

People regard each dungeon as a strategic resource, and the emergence of a new dungeon often brings earth-shaking changes to the local area.

Not to mention the obvious fact that dungeons attract adventurers and thus boost the local economy, if a dungeon contains significant rewards, the entire country benefits.

Besides its military strength, the Warrior Country is also famous for its excellent mineral production, attributed not only to its rich mineral veins on the map but also to several dungeons, including the Giant Stone Dungeon, that produce minerals.

The most recent and obvious example of a dungeon changing fate is the Yanor Kingdom.

If not for the emergence of the Sain Dungeon, the country might have been completely ravaged by monsters during the Meteor Shower long before Black Hawk’s Chaos.

The small Reid has realized their ancestors’ wish due to the appearance of the Sain Dungeon, successfully enjoying the rice from two powerful countries.

However, the Reid people are currently enthusiastic about integrating into those two countries, preferring to live in a better place than lying at home eating rice.

With these two living examples, it’s hard for Sain Dungeon not to be well-known.

In addition, Ainz III, the king of the Yanor Kingdom, personally came out to testify the threat of the Demon Clan and the Evil God, and demonstrated the Happiness Egg’s resistance to the Fallen Demon Egg. For a while, the Happiness Eggs produced by Sain Dungeon often sold out, even now it remains a hot commodity for merchants.

When the existence of the Fallen Demon Egg was made public, influential people demanded a Happiness Egg from people around them to check if they belonged to the Demon Clan, not to mention the nobles. Even ignoring its detection efficacy, the Happiness Egg itself is delicious, and to this day it remains an essential food on many tables.

Unfortunately, when the Yanor Kingdom realized the worldwide demand for Happiness Eggs, they started limiting exports and made a significant profit for a time.

"Boss, are there any Happiness Eggs today? I’d like to reserve two portions."

"Sorry, today’s quota is already gone."

"What? I got up early to come here, and they’re already gone?"

In the marketplace of Black Stone City, a young boy dressed in typical adventurer warrior attire tapped on the counter with an excited expression, while beside him, a young girl dressed in classic adventurer magician attire held her forehead, sighing while advising him to calm down.

Warrior paired with Magician, a classic combo.

In various reports, the term "adventurer" is often used generally, such as which area of Sain Dungeon has the highest adventurer mortality rate, or which area is the most favored by adventurers, but what exactly qualifies someone as an adventurer? Is it guild registration? Or engaging in adventurous activities?

But this boy and girl duo, no matter the angle, are the most classic, instantly identifiable as "adventurers"!

They fit the public stereotype of adventurers perfectly, commonly referred to as...passersby.

"Really, there are none left, Happiness Eggs are incredibly scarce now," the restaurant owner sighed. "The last batch of trucks transporting them was attacked by unknown monsters outside the city, so there won’t be any Happiness Eggs for some time."

"How could it be..." the boy sat down on the ground with a face expressing a loss of hope for his future, unwilling to accept reality.

"Aren’t you adventurers? The Sain Dungeon has recently opened, can’t you go in and find a solution?" the owner suggested.

"We’re actually heading there, but not for Happiness Eggs..."

The boy glanced at the girl, who also looked at him in sync, their gazes meeting, seemingly sparking in the air.

The boy’s expression instantly became serious, saying, "Combat Skills are the strongest."

The girl’s eyebrows raised sharply, emphasizing word by word, "Magicians are superior."

"Combat Skills are the most powerful!"

"Magic is the best!"

In the blink of an eye, their foreheads collided, staring fiercely into each other’s eyes, their faces distorted like gods and demons!

"I must show you how amazing the Sain Dungeon that taught me Combat Skills is today!" the boy shouted.

"Hmph, you’re always talking about Sain, Sain, let’s go see then!" the girl sneered mockingly.

The two maintained this strange posture as they headed toward the Teleportation Gate leading to Sain Dungeon, full of momentum.

"Are those two idiots..." the restaurant owner asked with a puzzled look.

But thinking they are adventurers, such behavior didn’t seem strange anymore.

Not long ago, the news that the Sain Dungeon, originally located in the Yanor Kingdom, had suddenly appeared in the Warrior Country, rapidly spread in this nation.

In the first few days after the news came out, people in Black Stone City, including Lanle and Tepi, seemed indifferent, merely noticing more people observing the Teleportation Gate every day.

But later Tepi realized that the initial silence was because people were en route to Black Stone City!

After his match with Gerhard ended, the number of people flooding into Black Stone City increased until today, when he announced the lifting of the control over the Sain Dungeon’s Teleportation Gate, the crowd gathered in this city for Sain Dungeon had reached astounding numbers!

"Wow, so many people." The young boy looked at the sea of people surrounding the teleportation gate and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Even more than what I saw in Red Teeth Dungeon!"

His name is Sai Ke, a perfectly ordinary copper-level adventurer, who is currently striving to advance to silver-level.

Don’t be fooled by his age, he’s been an adventurer for several years and has participated in multiple dungeons’ joint Meteor Shower event, becoming one of the countless Red Spirits invading Sain Dungeon, fighting fiercely with veteran adventurers of Sain.

By a stroke of luck, he obtained a great sword with the combat skill [Lion Slash], and also [War Ash: Vacuum Slash]

[War Ash: Vacuum Slash]

[The lost combat skill of ancient heroes, raising the sword to create a vacuum state, then transforming into a vacuum sword blade, releasing forward]

Due to his current strength, he can’t support himself to repeatedly unleash these two war ashes, so he usually uses Lion Slash and Vacuum Slash as big moves.

Thanks to these two combat skills, he leapt from being a perfectly ordinary copper-level to become a top-notch adventurer among his peers, even able to tackle commissions he couldn’t defeat before, and now has the qualification to knock on the silver-level door.

Since then, he has become a die-hard fan of Sain Dungeon’s combat skills, maintaining considerable enthusiasm even though he has never explored even a single area of Sain.

His current life dream is to save enough money to travel to Yanor Kingdom and chase his dream in Sain Dungeon.

"There are clearly people who aren’t adventurers joining in the fun too." The young girl surveyed the crowd, expressionless and slightly cold, while her valuable magic wand flashed brilliantly.

The girl is named Jockra, also a perfectly ordinary copper-level adventurer and a wealthy second-generation who ventures purely out of interest.

She too participated in the Meteor Shower event, similarly transforming into a Red Spirit adventurer invading the Sain Dungeon, and it was then she acquired the Sain Dungeon magic [Spinning Flying Magic Gravel].

[Spinning Flying Magic Gravel]

[Luminous Stone magic taught by the Magic Academy Reyalucaria]

[Able to release two whirlwind-like magic gravel, taught by the Kalerros classroom, which is the oldest history in the academy]

[This magic is a failed product that appeared when creating a new comet]

Initially, she lost interest in Spinning Flying Magic Gravel upon seeing the word "failed product" in the description, until during a challenge against a giant python, she accidentally fired a Spinning Flying Magic Gravel, and it spun in a straight line, smashing the giant python into minced meat!

She was greatly shocked.

Since then, Jockra began collecting all kinds of magic book pages from Sain, though the chance of the appearance of magic book pages is not high, and even less on the market. Additionally, there are richer people collecting them, so until now, she’s only managed to acquire another [Luminous Stone Swift Magic Gravel].

But this didn’t stop her from becoming a die-hard fan of Sain Dungeon’s magic.

Her current life dream is to break free from family constraints and go to Reyalucaria, where she dreams to be. For this purpose, she’s long since refused her family’s money, relying entirely on the rewards from adventures for her sustenance.

Then, by a stroke of luck, Sai Ke and Jockra formed a team.

Originally, the two got along harmoniously, until recently, when the teleportation gate to Sain Dungeon suddenly appeared in Warrior Country, and they started discussing Sain, leading to...

"What? You think Sain’s combat skills/magic are the strongest!?" X2

"Nonsense!" X2

It evolved into the current situation, the two prepared to venture into Sain Dungeon inside to find proof whether combat skills/magic are the strongest.

Considering their age, it’s probably just two kids sulking.

"Now, welcome everyone to Sain Dungeon. Before it officially opens, some things need to be explained to everyone first."

The guards hired by Tepi to maintain order stood on a high platform, narrating some rules to the adventurers, and everyone quieted down to listen carefully.

"Currently, the exploration of new areas in Sain Dungeon is in its initial stages. We believe each of you will discover something within the dungeon. To encourage your exploration, our Lord Basque has specifically allocated funds to reward those who have new discoveries. If you find something, please come to us to claim your prize!"

"Of course, there are conditions for claiming the prize; your discovery must be published on the bulletin. Those who can accept the conditions, please feel free to earn big bucks. Lord Basque will definitely treat you well!"

"Additionally, considering a significant number of people have not previously engaged with Sain Dungeon, we need to remind you that this is a unique dungeon, and you will suffer a great loss if you view it with conventional eyes. So, we have prepared some Sain Dungeon exploration notes compiled into brochures that are available for free."

"Oh, by the way, if you pay an extra silver coin, you can obtain an upgraded version of the booklet, which contains the best of the compressed version of the Skyrim Strategy Group’s guide. It’s absolutely premium stuff."

In short, it’s a condensed version of the Skyrim Strategy Group’s guide and still unauthorized. If Luluwo were here, they’d probably have murder on their mind.

"Did you hear that? It’s the Skyrim Strategy Group mentioned." Sai Ke felt a sudden urge to buy.

"If you queue to buy the booklet and also queue to enter the dungeon, are you sure we’ll be able to enter the dungeon today morning after buying?"

Jockra very calmly assessed the situation, grabbed Sai Ke’s wrist, and drew him through the crowd scrambling to buy the booklet, heading towards the teleportation gate first.

This is a short adventure of two ordinary adventurers to prove whether magic or combat skill is the strongest.
