Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 128 The Statue of Liberty and the Dungeon Demons

Chapter 127

After checking various information, Rosen was somewhat disappointed in Blue Whale Guild City.

The vast Blue Whale Kingdom surprisingly lacks the core potion ingredients most suitable for trap hunters.

Because it is difficult to set up and hide traps in the ocean, the number of trap hunters in the Blue Whale Kingdom is already very small.

Having been away from the Duchy of Blazing Shadow for several years, Rosen felt a pang of nostalgia for the first time.

It seems that this time, he will have to leave the Blue Whale Kingdom temporarily.

Traveling to nearby duchies and kingdoms by ocean-going vessel is the most economical way to go.

But there is an even more luxurious way to travel: long-distance space transfer.

There are many methods; some wizard towers have portals leading to wizard towers in other countries.

Some Sequence 4 painters use their art-collecting skills to leave behind spiritual paintings in different countries that can travel through long distances.

However, after consideration, Rosen did not choose the fastest way to travel.

Now that Rosen is a Sequence 7, with his powerful spiritual perception, he is fully capable of entering the spirit world in his true form ahead of time.

Since the painter became Sequence 7, he could clearly sense the movement of the divine realm.

To be precise, they were moved out of the beginner safe zone by the ancient trees in the noble sequence.

This means that the divine realm may face a long-awaited challenge.

Therefore, Rosen wanted to learn more about the spirit world, so he planned to travel in a supernatural vehicle from the spirit world for this trip.

Extraordinary vehicles that reach Sequence 7 can generally travel briefly through the spirit world.

As for long-distance travel, at least a Sequence 5 extraordinary vehicle is required.

Rosen waited two days before the pilot of the Knight Branch Sequence 5, who was heading to the nearby Red Sea Duchy, finally arrived.

Of all the Knight sequences, the Driver is the only one that has no offensive capabilities.

All of the driver's extraordinary abilities are used to enhance the protective capabilities and speed of their extraordinary vehicle.

This type of driver is usually only qualified to be trained by principalities.

Rosen was traveling on a steam train with only two carriages, which could only carry a few dozen people. These people were all on their way to nearby duchies and kingdoms on business. As a Sequence 7, he was the lowest-ranking passenger among all the passengers.

Woohoo!

The train whistle sounded, and the steam train vanished into the distance, almost transparent.

Through the layers of white mist outside the window, the steam train quickly left the mist and arrived in the mysterious and fantastical spirit world.

Directly below was an endless sea, untouched by ash, only mirage-like spiritual wonders.

Rosen saw the ancient city built on the back of the giant tortoise, the towering tower that stretched for thousands of miles, the Titans that moved in the sea with storms and waves, and the demons that rose from the sea disguised as volcanoes to fight the Titans.

All of this, like a mirage, swept past the steam train.

However, mirages do not appear out of thin air. On the surface of the spirit world where the steam train is located, 99% of what you see is an illusion. But as you delve deeper into the spirit world, you will discover that these mirages are traces of an enduring civilization deep within it.

On this vast ocean where the Blue Whale Kingdom is located, more than one powerful civilization has emerged that has occupied this sea area.

The closer the spirit world is to the surface, the closer its geography and spiritual life are to reality.

The deeper one delves into the spirit world, the more it feels like returning to a mysterious, lost era.

With a history of approximately ten thousand years, it will form a layer of spirit space.

As Rosen followed the steam train throughout the journey, his biggest takeaway was a profound realization of his own insignificance.

As he looked around, Rosen suddenly saw a mirage that made his heart stop.

That was an intercontinental ballistic missile that fell from the sky, and then wiped an entire city off the map.

Rosen didn't recognize the city, but he did recognize the statue, which was tens of meters tall and was destroyed in the nuclear explosion.

"statue of Liberty……"

Rosen's hands were trembling slightly.

If all mirages are traces of ancient civilizations that have perished deep within the spirit world.

Does this mean that his time travel was not a spatial journey but a time journey?

In fact, since his transmigration, Rosen has had many questions.

In different worlds, many lifestyle habits are not fundamentally different from those in the previous life.

The written language and spoken language were completely different from those he knew in his previous life, but there were many things about clothing, trains, carriages, and so on that could be traced back to his previous life. Even Little Lawson's appearance was distinctly Asian.

Furthermore, the ancient tree of the noble lineage so easily recognized that he possessed the bloodline of the Howard family.

Is it possible that the Howard family are his descendants many years in the future?

His arrival in front of Rosen was not a coincidence, but rather an awakening caused by the extinction of the Howard family bloodline.

Rosen recalled that before he traveled through time, he did indeed have a Western ex-girlfriend with whom he had broken up.

If he really has descendants, his bloodline must have flowed down from there for countless millennia.

So perhaps he really didn't travel through space, but rather slept in the mysterious study and traveled through time.

As for why the tiny blue planet in the universe has become this new world that is countless times larger than the blue planet.

Perhaps when he has the ability to enter the depths of the spirit world, he can find the answer in the traces of ancient civilization.

Rosen lost interest in admiring the mirage outside the window and instead took out his easel and quietly began to paint.

He painted a factory residential compound with many bungalows, a picture of himself as a child as he remembered, a picture of his childhood playmates from the orphanage as he remembered, and finally, he also painted his ex-girlfriend.

It's just an ordinary painting, completely devoid of any spirituality.

Because he knew very well that even if everything in the painting came to life, it would all be fake.

However, in the deepest part of the spirit world, he might be able to find the spirit realm corresponding to this painting.

At that time, everything in the painting will be realistically reproduced.

Rosen hung the painting in the gallery, covered it with a white cloth, and then resisted looking at it again.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the steam train carried many passengers on and off through several principalities.

Around noon, after the steam train arrived at the station, Rosen got off and went to the station of the Underground Kingdom.

The Dungeon Kingdom is not an island nation, much less a mobile kingdom like the Blue Whale Kingdom.

Instead, it's an adventure kingdom built deep within the earth, even further down the seabed.

As Rosen stepped out of the station, he saw a blazing sun suspended above the city.

This is certainly not the real sun; nobody knows where the real sun is.

This little sun in the dungeon kingdom seals within an ancient demon god of Sequence 0 rank.

The extraordinary artifact that sealed this ancient demon god is a Gundam Sequence 0 extraordinary artifact.

The names of the extraordinary artifacts and the demon gods were not circulated to the public.

However, the purpose of the dungeon kingdom is to continuously weaken the power of this demon god.

Through the extraordinary artifacts that sealed the demon god, the demon god's power was continuously extracted and sent into various dungeons, where it gave birth to a massive number of extraordinary demons. The kingdom's extraordinary adventurers were responsible for slaying these extraordinary demons to weaken the demon god's power.

When the sun above the royal city goes out, the World Government will completely wipe out and annihilate this ancient demon god.

Thanks to its unique advantages, the Dungeon Kingdom has ten times more human superhumans than the Blue Whale Kingdom. Rosen obtained a temporary identity card at the station and then traveled to the Hunter's Guild to establish an adventure team.

The dungeon is not the spiritual realm. Everything in the dungeon is real, while in the spiritual realm, unless the spirit is completely controlled and materialized, everything in the spiritual realm is primarily spiritual with matter as a secondary element.

There's even a theory that all dungeons are spiritual realms influenced by the power of demons and integrated into reality.

Since there is no world reset in the dungeons, it is impossible to summarize detailed strategies for the dungeons.

This directly results in the dungeons being far more dangerous than spirit realms of the same level. The dungeon kingdom does not allow human superhumans to enter the dungeons alone; all superhumans must form adventure teams to be eligible to enter different dungeons according to their strength rating.

"Your Excellency, you need to give your adventure party a name."

"That's what the Hunter's Guild staff said respectfully."

"Demon Hunter!"

Rosen thought for a moment and then said.

"Please design the group emblem."

The staff member handed Lawson a blank badge.

Rosen summoned his magic brush and drew a demon's head biting a battle blade on it.

After registering the adventurer group's emblem, the staff inquired about the number of members, their rank, their overall strength estimates, and other details before finally establishing the Demon Hunter Adventurer Group.

Rosen, the leader of the group, is a Sequence 7, and as a painter who controls the Void Gallery, his survivability is off the charts.

Therefore, even newly formed Demon Hunter adventurer guilds are allowed to enter Sequence 8 dungeons as a group.

With 600 badges, Rosen disappeared into the corner of the Hunter's Guild and entered the Divine Realm.

Each of these badges is worth a thousand spiritual crystals and belongs to the lowest level of Sequence 9 mass-produced extraordinary artifacts.

After being refined, members can not only prove their identity, but also communicate via a short-range local area network using the badge.

However, Rosen is a painter, so he plans to give these badges even more purpose.

On each of the group emblems, Rosen personally drew the emblem with his magic pen.

When pushed to the brink of despair in critical moments, group members can proactively channel their spirituality into the space within the painting.

As long as the distance isn't too far, you can teleport to the inner space of other members' badges through the space in the painting.

Rosen distributed the badges to five hundred Sequence 9 citizens, dividing them into ten groups to go to different Sequence 9 dungeons.

For those who have progressed through the extraordinary sequence of class advancement, the Dungeon Kingdom is a veritable leveling paradise.

As for Rosen himself, he planned to take the Sequence 9 cat people to the Sequence 8 dungeon, so that he could complete the dungeon adventure missions to the maximum extent and improve the adventure team's level to the maximum extent.

The core materials that Rosen wanted for changing his class to Trap Hunter were, as far as he knew, located in a Sequence 7 dungeon.

Two hours later, Rosen traversed the maze-like underground passages and arrived in front of an underground city.

All dungeons are represented by a fleshy demon head as their external entrance.

There is a stone tablet nearby with the sequence level and name of this dungeon.

At the same time, this stone tablet is also the medium for activating the underground city.

Rosen read the description first. He was eager to upgrade his adventure team's level, so he simply chose the nearest Sequence 8 dungeon.

[The Deceptive Den: Demon Dungeon]

[Level: Sequence 8]

[Number of people allowed to enter: 50]

[Synopsis: The Deception Nest actively splits up adventurer groups, with Sequence 8 Deception Demons becoming members and seizing any opportunity to wipe out all humans. Furthermore, a Sequence 7 Demon Leader randomly roams the ever-changing Deception Nest...]

Rosen glanced at it and realized that the introduction was really just an introduction.

This is not because the Dungeon Kingdom is irresponsible, because only the individual is responsible for their own life and death.

If you don't even know your own strength, then you deserve to die in the dungeon.

Rosen released fifty cat-people from the divine realm; these cat-people were the most talented among all the cat-people.

So they don't need to farm or work hard every day.

Instead, they can take Shadowcat Sequence potions, becoming a crucial fighting force for the territory's future.

All cat-people of all sequences, after changing to the Shadowcat sequence, gain the ability to learn extraordinary skills of the human Silver sequence.

However, since skill crystals are the only way to obtain them, collecting skill crystals took Kuroro and his companions a lot of effort when exploring the Spirit Realm.

These fifty cat-people now all possess the three skills of Dark Concealment, Elemental Shot, and Elemental Shield.

Dark Concealment allows you to become invisible, while Elemental Shield provides defense.

Neither skill is particularly good, but skill crystals that can be obtained in large quantities are unlikely to be very good either.

However, with the elemental shooting, the strength of these cat people immediately underwent a dramatic change.

Because all the guns wielded by these cat-people are guns that incorporate the powerful armor-piercing effect of the Ash Bee.

Elemental Shot is one of the few extraordinary skills that can achieve the armor-piercing effect of Ash Bee.

Rosen affixed the adventurer's badge to the stone tablet and waited for it to glow before setting it aside.

Fifty cat-men affixed their badges to the demon. When it was the forty-ninth cat-man's turn, the demon head made of flesh and blood suddenly opened its eyes and gaped its bloody maw. Rosen immediately led the forty-nine cat-men through the demon's mouth into the dungeon.

As for the last extra cat-man, activate Dark Concealment and hide nearby to wait.

In case other adventure groups come, in case they hide near the dungeon and ambush us.

The cat-people who remain outside will issue an early warning immediately.

"The smell of sulfur is so strong..."

After being randomly teleported to the deception lair, Rosen's sense of smell was immediately weakened.

Then, smell and taste are almost entirely transformed into hearing and sight.

The den of fraud was actually a maze-like cave.

There was no light here; it was pitch black.

It's so quiet you can hear your own heartbeat; without special means, you'd be blind here.

Rosen is a master of light and shadow, so darkness is like daylight to him.

After using Shadow Cloak, he moved swiftly through the darkness and soon followed the sound of footsteps behind him.

Before him was a cat-man walking cautiously. Rosen extended his finger and instantly fired a crossbow bolt.

Integrating the Godslayer Crossbow into your arm will reduce damage, but will significantly improve your stealth capabilities.

By the time the cat-man sensed the danger, it was too late to dodge the crossbow bolts that were right in front of him.

In a split second between life and death, the cat-man's body transformed into a steel statue.

However, under the power of the Ash Armor Breaker, the cat-man, who had turned into a steel statue, was still pierced through the head by an arrow.

The cat-man who lost his life immediately transformed into a short, goblin-like, but horned, fraudulent demon.

Indeed, the Deceitful Demon's disguise is very strong, but it poses no threat to the Mind Canvas.

Rosen's Mind Canvas can easily enter the mind of a deceitful demon, then display malice on the canvas.

The next chapter will be a few minutes later; I got home late and am currently revising it.
