Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1525 - 933: Shattering the Crystal!

"Oooh..."Staring at the Crystal in front of him that was radiating a seductive glow, Hades couldn’t help but let out a sigh of amazement.

His gaze was automatically drawn to this thing, to the point he couldn’t look away, his eyes filled with nothing but the color of the Crystal.

There was no other reason; it was purely because this Crystal was exuding an extremely special aura.

It was as if the essence of all the Crystal Magic in the world had been condensed into that thing.

As long as he could touch this Crystal, as long as he could take it out, as long as he could stay by its side every day to study Magic, he was sure he could make rapid progress!

This kind of thought swelled infinitely in Hades’ heart. Normally, his personality would never allow him to lose control like this; perhaps it was because this special Crystal held an irresistible temptation for a Crystal Magic researcher like him.

Th-this... is this the secret White Dragon Heiss was hiding?

It was simply as irresistible as spiritual power was to the Dungeon!

Hades forgot the pain in his body and started walking toward that Crystal. Every movement made his body emit a creaking sound as if it couldn’t bear the strain, and the exposed flesh was sprouting gleaming Crystal...

But he didn’t care at all. With a mysterious smile on his face, he reached out his hand toward the Crystal.

He wanted to take the Crystal back with him, to sleep with it by his side, to lean against it while researching Magic, he wanted to...

Just as his hand, already sprouting a crystal cluster, touched that Crystal, the world before Hades’ eyes suddenly shattered with a roar like smashed glass.

In that instant, countless Phantoms appeared and overlapped with his body, causing his already weakened spirit, worn down by his injuries, to instantly lose all sense of what was illusion and what was reality.

He saw himself turn into someone else, his body clad in a dust-covered set of Knight Armor, reaching out a hand toward the Crystal.

Even with his mind plunging into chaos, he could still recognize that the image now overlapping with his own was the existence known as the "Undead Man"!

Because he had once, in Big Hat Logan’s little Magic classroom, received guidance under the identity of an Undead Man, he could tell at a glance.

What did this represent? It meant that, in a past timeline, that Undead Man who received Rogen’s teachings had also, like him, fought his way through the many obstacles of the Crystal Cave to arrive here, and had also reached out his hand to touch this very Crystal before him.

Hades suddenly felt a sense of kinship toward the Undead Man. The other party was also a student of Crystal Magic, and as Rogen’s Disciple, his level definitely wasn’t low. He had to have discovered the value of this Crystal.

So the other party must have had the exact same thought as he did now, wanting to take this Crystal back—

"Crack!"

A crisp shattering sound entered Hades’ ears.

The Undead Man’s hand, which was covering the Crystal, suddenly exerted force, and the dazzling Crystal in his hand was suddenly covered in cracks.

"Huh?"

The look of agreement Hades had just shown toward the other man hadn’t even faded before he froze, his mouth unconsciously falling open at the bizarre sight.

"Snap!"

The next second, this Crystal that radiated endless temptation exploded into powder, a being as hard as Crystal was crushed in the Undead Man’s hand as easily as cracking an egg!

As the Crystal shattered, the Illusion overlapping Hades’ body shattered as well, and his eyes once again perceived the real world.

He saw that Crystal that existed before him, the one that existed in the real world...

also shatter.

"What the hell are you doing!"

Hades’ expression twisted like the famous painting "The Scream." His usually mature and steady voice broke into a shrill scream, completely losing the demeanor of a Magic Professor!

That Crystal, which could practically be called a priceless treasure, had just been crushed like that, shattered!

The feeling was like watching his lover die right in front of him, maybe even more shocking than that!

Undead Man who ruins treasures, I’m going to kill you!

The surge of emotion crashing into his brain even made him have some utterly unrealistic thoughts.

If this world were a comic, then Hades’ entire body would be turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye right now, with a few falling leaves drifting around to add to the melancholy mood.

His screaming stopped, and he just stood there dumbly, staring at the pile of fragments on the ground, not knowing what to do.

After that Crystal, which had radiated endless Divine Power and mystery, shattered, it became like trash, completely losing its special aura. It looked no different from ordinary debris, and naturally it lost all research value and could no longer be treated as a treasure.

Hades’ heart was bleeding. He didn’t even know if, the next time he came here, this tragedy would replay itself. If he had to witness this scene a second time, he really might die on the spot of a brain hemorrhage.

"Boom!"

Just then, the ground beneath his feet, covered in Crystal, began to quake violently, and an exceptionally intense killing intent surged from behind him... He didn’t even need to look back to know who had arrived.

Hades’ movements stiffened as he slowly turned his head, looking at White Dragon Heiss, who had come in person in his true form and was radiating murderous intent. Hades showed a strange expression that was somewhere between a bitter smile and a grimace, and said:

"If I say it wasn’t me who broke it, will you believe me?"

What answered him was a furious roar from White Dragon Heiss.
