Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1674 - 996: Long May the Sun Shine! (Part 2)

The Onion Knight nodded, seemingly understanding Temud’s plan. He then moved his feet and charged towards his former friend, the now Giant King Yum, with the storm gathered on the Storm Tamer stronger than ever before.

He didn’t run too far. Instead, he stopped at a distance where Yum could notice the storm, and at the moment when Yum turned his head to look at him, he unleashed the storm without hesitation.

The storm flew out almost in a straight line and hit Yum right on the head!

This scene left Temud dumbfounded. He had tried many times but couldn’t hit the enemy’s greatest weakness, the head. How did the Onion Knight manage to hit it?

It seemed Yum experienced a brief moment of hesitation when he turned his head to see him?

No matter what reason was hidden in this, Yum, directly hit by the storm impact on the head, suffered severe damage to his vision, almost closing his fiery eyes completely. He charged forward to the last seen position of the Onion Knight before losing sight, the large machete raised high and full of murderous intent.

The Onion Knight turned and ran back, and just as Yum caught up with him in a few strides, he suddenly dove sideways.

Revealing Temud, who had been fully charged.

"Here it comes! The angle is just right!"

Temud completed his charging and slashed diagonally towards Yum’s head. The storm, extending beyond a hundred meters, demolished every building it came into contact with during its motion. The storm, filled with countless impurities, fiercely struck Yum!

The gigantic body was visibly cut open with a terrifying wound, toppling uncontrollably to the side, but immediately, he braced himself against the ground, his legs surging with power as he continued to charge forward frantically.

Yet, Temud’s attack didn’t stop there.

The storm did not dissipate upon hitting Yum. Accompanying Temud’s spinning body, the storm also spun in a circle, tearing the earth and sky, hitting the previously slashed wound with doubled force!

This time, the storm couldn’t maintain its condensed state any longer, and upon contact with Yum, it exploded into an endless hurricane that swept across the entire City of Sin!

"Aaah——"

All the warriors on the ground were caught up in this fierce wind, flying chaotically. Even Temud, who unleashed the move, was not spared and was drawn into the storm, which was so gray and endless that nothing could be seen clearly.

How long did this storm rages on?

When Temud and the warriors finally landed on the ground, everyone couldn’t help but vomit drastically. This feeling was definitely no better than being thrown into a drum washing machine.

"What about the Giant King, did we, did we take him down?"

The scene was enveloped in thick smoke stirred up by the storm. Observing the smoke without harm, the warriors felt particularly worried at the current sight.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the shadow of Yum’s massive body emerged, causing everyone’s heart to leap to their throats.

But at this moment, the Storm Tamer in Temud’s hand calmed down, and the storm residing within it seemed to have subsided.

At the same time, that massive body began to fade away.

Dissolving into ashes scattered across the sky.

Once all the smoke in the sky had vanished, Yum’s body was no longer visible, replaced by a Fire Transmission Throne standing at the place where he disappeared.

On that throne, emitting residual fire, lay the giant’s skull. Just by looking at it, one could tell it was Yum’s head.

Just like how the Fire Transmission Throne appeared in the battlefield after the successful subjugation of the Fran Undead Team and the Elderly.

Everyone let out a huge sigh of relief; relaxation after the tension made them sit down right there, taking big breaths to dispel their fatigue.

The Fire Transmission Throne emitted flowing flames. Large amounts of fire fell in front of everyone, with each flame enveloped in colorful light points, signifying the familiar reward time.

"Indeed, I was looking forward to this moment."

Temud smiled wearily, raising his hand to grasp the golden shimmering light point before him.

[Yum’s Soul]

[The soul of Giant Yum, containing tremendous power. Direct use will grant massive souls, or it can be forged into formidable power.]

[Giant Yum is a descendant of ancient conquerors. It’s said he accepted the request to suppress the Sin Flames and became the king of all, transformed into a weighty blade and a solid shield.]

Indeed, even the soul explains the reason Yum became the ruler of the City of Sin, but only...

[Coal King Firewood]

[The remaining Coal King Firewood of Giant Yum]

[The Ember King refuses to return to the throne, so it’s only necessary to bring it back.]

[The lonely giant became the Ember King to suppress the flames, even knowing that people were not sincerely calling him their king.]

Hence, all the other rewards gained later couldn’t distract Temud from these two pieces of text.

He looked up at Yum’s Firewood on the Fire Transmission Throne, thinking of many things instantly, eventually understanding what had happened here.

"It truly is another story filled with the qualities of Sain Dungeon."

The residents of the City of Sin, tormented by the Sin Flames, found in Giant Yum the power to suppress the Sin Flames and thus made him the king of the City of Sin, asking him to suppress the fire.

The insincerity in the hearts of the residents was noticed by Yum, yet he still fulfilled his duties. He even created two weapons capable of defeating himself to be handed over to his not truly submissive subjects and old friends, fulfilling his duty until he transformed into the Ember King.

And now, being reawakened, he returned to the City of Sin, only to see the country consumed by Sin Flames and its people turned to scorched corpses.

It was this sight and experience that made him reject the Fire Transmission Throne, even losing his sanity. The Big Shield meant to protect his subjects was lost, leaving only the giant machete for attack.

As for the Onion Knight...perhaps he made some promise to help Yum find release, which is why he returned here.

"Sigh..."

Temud sighed, lifted his head to survey his surroundings, and bypassed the warriors immersed in the joy of harvest, spotting the Onion Knight sitting cross-legged before the throne.

He approached him and also took a seat, smiling as he said:

"Won’t you have a drink?"

What appeared in his hand was Jack’s wine; he actually still had a cup left on him.

"You fulfilled your promise successfully, Giant King; he was indeed a deserving hero."

"Always saving my life, huh."

Onion Knight Jack Baldor looked at Temud, his tone betraying complex emotions, but ultimately returning, at least partially, to his former spirited self.

"But thank you. Thanks to you, I could fulfill the promise and let my old friend once again fulfill the duty of Ember King."

Temud didn’t say more, just nodded, watching the Onion Knight take out a wine cup.

"Alright, this will be the last toast, to your courage and mission, and to my old friend Yum—"

"Wait, wait, are you drinking? How could you leave us out, that’s too sneaky!"

The warriors, who had unknowingly gathered around, interrupted Jack Baldor’s words. They gathered around in a rather familiar manner, creating a buzzing and bustling atmosphere around them. Taken aback for a moment, Jack Baldor then burst out in a hearty laugh.

"It’s a celebration feast now, after a great war there must be a celebration. Let us join in as well!"

The warriors, lacking cups, took out the red Elemental Bottle as a substitute.

Jack Baldor glanced around, once again raising his cup, and in a deep voice said aloud:

"Raise your cups, warriors!"

"To your courage and mission, my old friend Yum..."

"And to the Sun!"

The warriors also shouted loudly:

"To the Sun!!!"

"Bang——"

Glasses collided with numerous Elemental Bottles, causing wine and unknown liquid within the Elemental Bottles to spill out, mixing with the cheers and clinks of glasses.

This moment is simply suited to be used as the ending of a legendary tale.
