Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1521 - 931: Golden Legend

Just as he was about to be crushed to death by the crystal giant puppet sitting on his face, Hades’s body exploded with a reactive force that even surprised himself, rolling fiercely to the side."Boom!"

The thick crystal pillars trembled from the giant puppet’s jump, and the impact of the fall allowed him to truly feel the force.

If he really got hit, he’d probably turn into minced meat right there, with no protection on him.

"Caw—"

The crystal pillar suddenly slid significantly downward amid the tremors, making the whole pillar tilt even more sharply!

No way, these pillars will slide downwards too?

He can’t just sit and watch the crystal giant puppet wreak havoc here, it would destroy the Crystal Cave!

Hades scrambled up, just as the crystal giant puppet continued its leap attack towards his location.

There’s still some space behind, he could escape.

Hades took a moment to glance behind him, noticing there was still relatively ample space to dodge. But even if he avoided this time, he’d be trapped in a dead end by the enemy, a scenario where neither heaven nor earth could save him.

So, he had to learn to take the initiative.

With the Instant Floating Technique and Mid-level Hurricane Skill, the hurricane moved his floating body rapidly backwards, making his dodging speed exceed the reaction speed of his body. The crystal giant puppet suddenly fell where he had previously stood.

This fall produced an earth-shattering noise once again, and amid the vibration, the crystal pillar slid further down, forcing Hades into a desperate situation — with the cave’s rock wall behind him, abyss on both sides, and touching the air revealed invisible floating crystals, ending his considerations of using flight to escape.

At first glance, it seemed like the crystal giant puppet had won.

But just when it only needed to continue repeating the jump-fall to achieve victory, the final fall never came.

Even the opponent’s massive figure disappeared from the top of the crystal pillar.

A white light representing souls shot up from the abyss below, unseen, merging into Hades, with thousands of souls, instantly revealing the value of the crystal giant puppet.

Hold on, that guy fell off the crystal pillar? But why did that happen?

Upon closer inspection, at the landing spot of the crystal giant puppet, there was a smooth crystal surfaced up, controlled by Hades.

An oily shine spread over the curved smooth crystal.

It was Low-level Magic Lubrication Technique!

Hades had applied Lubrication Technique on the slanted surface composed of crystal, causing the crystal giant puppet to inevitably slide towards the abyss the moment it landed!

Any other monster with normal agility would not fall for this, as they would simply grab onto the jagged crystal edges where Lubrication Technique had not been applied.

But the crystal giant puppet couldn’t, firstly because it simply had no quick reaction capabilities, and secondly...

It didn’t even have fingers to grab the edge of the cliff.....

"This method, actually works."

Hades adjusted his crooked headgear, as if discovering a new world, his eyes revealing enlightenment.

Right, when did he start thinking of magical combat as purely brute force and flying bricks?

Clearly, using magic in battle should involve dazzling moves and unexpected tactics, rather than just overwhelming an opponent with force, which should be left for the final stages of a fight.

Who made him become like this?

Hades pondered briefly and found the culprit.

It was Sain Dungeon.

"Alas, Sain..."

Upon reflection, what kind of magic had he acquired in Sain Dungeon?

Launching stones, launching small and fast stones, launching huge stones, launching stones that track people...

The magic obtained from Sain Dungeon was subliminally telling the acquirer, want to win? Then invest more Magic Power into conjuring bigger stones to crush people!

If the stone is big enough, you can even smash a God to see!

Hades shook his head, letting out a resigned sigh.

Using Levitation Skill, he crossed the surface covered by Lubrication Technique without touching the ground, avoiding ground traps, but at a cost of significant imbalance if his feet were slightest suspended.

From where Hades stood, the entire Crystal Cave construction appeared chaotic.

Crystals of the same hue grew everywhere, persistently bright in some places to a blinding extent, while dark as night in others, making it hard to find a clear path even with careful observation.

It seemed that only an aerial view of the cave could provide control over the whole picture, but...

"No, there’s still obstruction here."

Just barely two meters up with Flying Skill, Hades encountered invisible crystal walls, its rough surface threatening injury even with light contact, its hardness insurmountable.

Even if an invisible barrier was understandable, the most crucial part was...

"Here, previously there was no obstruction."
