Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1519 - 930: Crystal Cave

"Hades, what do you mean by that?"Turci was somewhat surprised, surprised by how the other suddenly started speaking.

Normally, once Hades entered meditation, he might not speak for ten days to half a month. But this time, it was only a few days—truly extraordinary.

However, what did he mean by the words he just said?

"Literally, cough cough..."

Hades coughed a few times, sounding as if there were stones grinding in his throat, hoarse.

Since the last battle with White Dragon Heiss, less than a week had passed. During this week, neither Fingerley nor the professors had re-entered the Sain Dungeon.

The former was healing, waiting for the crystal to disappear, only now is the crystal on his body nearly healed. The latter were researching magic, having just emerged yesterday, and Hades also just came out from the dungeon within the past two days.

Therefore, their progress and knowledge of the exploration of the Duke’s Library remained at the same level, without further in-depth exploration.

After all, with these reasons, even if they wanted to continue exploring, it was out of their hands. Even if they entrusted others to explore, the actual effects were not very ideal.

Yet among everyone present, only Hades had genuinely spent several days in the Sain Dungeon; perhaps his understanding of the Duke’s Library had already far surpassed that of others.

"Did you have new discoveries in the Duke’s Library," Vienma asked, "I haven’t had the chance to ask about your findings over these days."

Since coming out from the Sain Dungeon, this was the first time Hades spoke to someone.

"Gained a lot, I’ll talk about that later."

Hades took off the luminous stone mask, revealing...

The same unchanged face as before.

Vienma and others were momentarily stunned upon seeing this, appearing quite surprised.

They were surprised at how he remained unchanged, not sullying his human appearance even after learning more crystal magic. On reflection, this sense of surprise almost seemed hellish.

"In the Duke’s Library, I encountered that Rogen." With pure crystal, he formed an exquisitely realistic Big Hat Logan statue in his palm.

Nadi whispered to Elo and the others, "He’s a famous magician in the Sain Dungeon, said to be quite formidable."

"I have been following him, learning magic. These days, not a single day passed without learning."

Facing Turci’s slightly widened eyes, Hades couldn’t help but recall his learning journey over these days.

It was truly a hellish voyage.

Knowing full well that each death in the dungeon would weaken his spiritual power, to extend his learning time with Logan, he used quite dangerous magic. He sealed a portion of his consciousness, reducing the spiritual decay upon each death; until this current consciousness couldn’t hold any longer, only then releasing the seal. The consequence was a loss of part of his personality, turning into a relentless learning machine.

Under Gong Qiying’s preferential policy to reduce spiritual power extraction, Hades successfully persevered for several days in a row—truly a remarkable gift!

And his gains were quite extensive.

Four kinds of Soul Arrows, two Soul Blocks, three Magic Weapons—in Logan’s mentorship, he mastered all nine kinds of magic!

At first glance, these magics seemed to belong to Soul Magic, entirely unrelated to Crystal Magic. However, deeply intertwined as these two magics were, after deepening his understanding of Soul Magic, Hades also gained a more profound insight into Crystal Magic.

He left the Sain Dungeon, inspired, conducting a series of modifications on his self-developed Crystal Magic. Within merely two days, he crafted several new magics—his development efficiency was rivaling that of Younka!

As for the post-dungeon mental fatigue period? He immediately sought out the famous priest group for spiritual healing after leaving, his spiritual strength is now completely fine.

However, these specific gains were not what he planned to discuss with Turci and the others right now.

"When sensing my spiritual limit approaching, I voluntarily withdrew from the class."

Yet, feeling he could still endure a bit longer, Hades did not immediately leave the dungeon but instead headed toward another corner of the Duke’s Library.

It was untouched by adventurers, only realized as unusual after hearing intel from Logan.

Over there was another map connected to the Duke’s Library that appeared like a forest.

At first glance, it seemed ordinary; stepping into it revealed it was indeed just a forest, albeit with formidable and obstinate Crystal Giant Puppets roaming within. This discouraged almost all first-time visitors from thoroughly exploring the Duke’s Library.

Following Gong Qiying’s designs, when adventurers reached that forest, they were preoccupied with closing the Brass Horn, unable to stop and explore the suddenly sectioned-off area. Facts proved people’s reactions matched his expectations precisely.
