Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Before the fire spread to the entire Initial Firestove, and the roar of the flames covered the scene, Leon’s wailing was clearly audible.

Oh right, he’s still wailing now, just that the sound has been suppressed.

The perception of pain occupied ninety percent of Leon’s mental space, the remaining thinking capacity constantly pondering one thing:

Crying like this while transmitting fire is just too lame ahhh!

He could feel that everything about him was rapidly burning.

The first to burn was the quantity of souls he possessed; those massive souls sufficient to level up two or three times were burned to ashes.

Then burned were those few King’s Souls, as the King’s Souls were burned one after the other, his elevated strength plummeted suddenly.

When finally there was nothing else left to burn, the fuel became the levels he had accumulated till now.

The levels beyond two hundred were rapidly declining until in the flames...

Zero!

Whether losing consciousness or for some other reason, his sight fell into darkness at this moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt no burning pain, but his body was still engulfed in raging fire.

His body was beyond control, and before his eyes appeared what seemed like an illusion.

He saw the Undead he had seen in images before; the Undead in classic knight gear also chose to transmit fire.

At this moment, he resembled them, embracing flames, opening his arms. Their figures overlapped at this moment—

Thus, the first Firekeeper of Sain Dungeon, the first Ember King was born.

If future adventurers happen to encounter all previous Ember Kings appearing simultaneously, or the instances of all prior Ember Kings combining.

Among them, Leon would have his share.

Leon opened his eyes again, only to find himself floating in the sky.

Below him were maps he had traversed: Fire Transmission Ceremony, Undead Town Outside the City, and others, those places were flourishing due to the continuation of the Primordial Flame, old foes hugged each other singing and dancing, the world’s light shone once again, a beautiful future awaited everyone.

Upon seeing this, the significance of Fire Transmission suddenly materialized before Leon’s eyes.

He was somewhat gratified but also couldn’t help but wonder what was happening to him now, until he saw Gwyn appear in front of him.

Gwyn looked at him smilingly, applauding: "Congratulations."

Solar also appeared, standing beside Gwyn, applauding "Congratulations."

"Congratulations." Artorias, with his arms intact, also started clapping.

"Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" "Congratulations!"

Ornstein, Smough, Gwendolin..... one after the other, familiar characters appeared here, surrounding him, applauding to congratulate.

He even saw Shattered Star General and Greg, along with many former foes, now all congratulating him for completing the grand feat of Fire Transmission.

"Ah ha ha."

Surrounded by everyone, Leon scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"What good dreams is this guy having?"

Through the Crystal Ball, Gong Qiying looked at Leon lying on the ground, sleeping and smiling, for a moment, didn’t want to wake him up.

The Fire Transmission experience provided by Sain Dungeon ended the moment the Undead appeared.

All those surrounded applauding were just Leon’s imagination.

If Sain Dungeon arranged such scenes it would indeed be quite OOC.

In the end, Gong Qiying still woke Leon remotely.

"Dong—Dong—"

The sound of the bell, melodious sound rang in the ears.

"Hey, heh heh heh... Hmm? Where am I?"

Leon opened his eyes dazedly; all he could see was darkness.

He saw the dark dome; he seemed to be inside some church-like large building, dim all around, only small fire lights providing illumination.

With just one glance, he knew he was still inside Sain Dungeon, because the building’s style was unmistakably Sain.

But the question is, where is this?

"I..... I should have finished transmitting the fire by now, then what?"

He hadn’t completely regained his senses when he suddenly heard the bell again. This time, the bell brought other information.

An old voice that appeared in Sain Dungeon’s image before sounded.

[Thus, the successor of King Gwyn appeared, Leon Basque, who inherited the Initial Fire, the world’s light continues because of this, and he is... the first Firekeeper]

[The Primordial Flame continues, all things in the world regain hope, and his soul, like firewood stoked flames, strengthens, everything welcomes rebirth]

[This is the new world brought by the Firekeeper]

Oh, is this praising me?

Leon listened delightedly, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

At this moment, he hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation.

Because this message was broadcasted to everyone.

At this moment, anyone inside Sain Dungeon, every outside life form heard these words, without anyone missing out.

"Fire Transmission? Sain can really transmit fire huh?"

"Wait, who was it that transmitted fire just now?"

"Who’s Leon Basque?"

"Is there any footage? Please, I really want to see it!"

"Hey! Killing Monsters seems to yield more souls?"

The audio broadcast across the server immediately caused an uproar.

People in the Fire Transmission Ceremony suddenly noticed that a towering stone tablet had appeared beside the bonfire buildings, engraved with simple text.

[To commemorate the hero who dedicated himself to the Primordial Flame:]

[Leon Basque]

This large stone tablet only had the name engraved at the top, seemingly telling all latecomers that if you transmit fire, your names too will be engraved on the stone tablet.

This, certainly outweighs being the first to defeat the Boss Monster.

And the benefit brought by Leon’s Fire Transmission to everyone was a month-long 1.5 times increase in soul drops from killing Monsters!

"Heh heh, feeling really good."

Unaware of all this, Leon was still laughing foolishly.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized something, hurriedly searched all over himself, and sighed in relief upon seeing that all his equipment was still intact.

Thankfully all his equipment was intact and hadn’t been burned away with the Fire Transmission.

However, what does the Fire Transmission of Sain Dungeon mean?

Was it just for me to experience the former Firekeeper’s circumstances? While indeed quite a remarkable experience, but...

Leon’s face changed, suddenly recalling something, attempting to stand up.

However, at this moment, his equipment felt overwhelmingly heavy; he almost couldn’t stand up!

The Black Knight Shield he could easily wield in the past had become heavy; the Ring Seal Knight Sword felt awkward, like his strength had weakened!

"Oh right, my levels got burned away!"

Leon made a shocked expression—his Power of the King! Vanished!

No, no, no, certainly there’s something I missed, Sain Dungeon couldn’t possibly treat me so badly, why revoke my levels...

He hurriedly began examining the surroundings, seeking clues to solve his puzzle. But upon clearly seeing the surrounding scene, he suddenly froze.

"This scenery is so familiar."

Leon lifted his head, before him...

Five towering Fire Transmission Thrones?

On that towering Fire Transmission Throne was even a very familiar little old man—wasn’t that Ember King Rudes, this was his first time seeing him offline!

He also saw the skull of Fran Undead Team and Elderly from the Fire Transmission Throne, with two other thrones empty, Ember Kings not returned.

"Where is this?"

Just then, he heard a gentle sound of footsteps in his ears, he followed the sound.

Just saw a girl with a serene mild temperament, with an eye patch covering her eyes and light golden hair appeared beside him, her non-humanlike air attracted him to take a few more glances.

This woman... I surely saw her somewhere before!

"You have finally awakened."

[Fireproof Woman] gave Leon a graceful smile, reached out her hand to him, softly said:

"It’s time to transmit fire, Lord Ashes."
