“Barney, are there only 50,000 Half-Elves in Black Iron Castle?”

“Yes, Lord Kachar.”

“Dylan, is the valley where Corsa and the others are hiding alright?”

“Lord, 300 One-eyed Giants and 700 Double-headed Ogres have completely occupied that valley. As long as we don’t encounter a Transcendent, even the strongest enemies can be crushed by them.

But why not keep the other One-eyed Giants and Double-headed Ogres, Lord?”

“1,000 giants are more than enough for us. Too many would put a significant strain on our logistical supplies.

These big guys don’t eat just a little.

Moreover, the construction of the Magic Crystal Vein also needs these giants’ help. Sending a batch back would be just right.

With their involvement, our construction progress will see a tremendous improvement.

Development and exploration, both accomplished without mistake.”

“Lord, I understand.”

“Asreaga, enter the Dimension Plane and hide your form. Your aura is too conspicuous. We are not here to wage war this time. Come out only when I call for you.”

“Yes, Father God…”

“Castro, reduce your size, we don’t need you for now.

Barney Grey Claw, you six Half-Elves must not reveal any information about our presence in the Swamp under any circumstances.

Asreaga will be watching you from the Dimension Plane, and if you reveal even a single word, no one can preserve your lives.”

“Lord Kachar, we… we won’t speak of it…”

“Dylan, prepare to enter the Underground City, everyone be on your guard.”

“Yes, Lord…”

After giving these instructions, Lide’s gaze returned to the front, a slightly bulging little hill a hundred blade-lengths away obstructing their view.

Leather boots tramped on the dry, hard ground, with a faint glow, grotesquely twisted plants being trampled underfoot.

Crunch~

Crunch~

As the team of 20 Bloodline members and 6 Half-Elves progressed, the sound of dry grass being crushed resounded continuously.

The sky of the Underworld was always dim, the entire world as if shrouded by a thin veil, with very low visibility.

After conquering two tribes, Lide led everyone away from the Swamp.

Castro, who went back to report, brought over two thousand Magic Language Bats and a large amount of supplies from Grey Stone Castle.

After making slight arrangements, half of the giants were left by him, while the remaining and their young were all taken back to the Magic Crystal Vein by the Magic Language Bats.

The Magic Crystal Vein currently under massive construction required these humanoid excavators.

The remaining 1,000 giants were kept by him, moving towards the Underground City where the Half-Elves lived.

This small Underground City, hundreds of kilometers from the swamp, is Black Iron Castle, governed entirely by Half-Elves where several unique races of the Underworld live.

It also contains rich wealth and resources.

However, Lide did not come to wage war this time, so when they were 20 kilometers away from the Underground City, he had the giants hide in a valley.

He then proceeded alone with the Half-Elves and 20 Bloodlines toward Black Iron Castle, the legendary Underground City.

Exploring the Underground City, just hearing this name made Lide feel an urge to quicken his pace.

In the world above, an Underground City is often synonymous with countless Gold Pucks and gemstones.

Gold Puck piled up like mountains, gems clogging the moat—such was the Underworld described by wandering bards.

Thus, scores of adventurers delved into underground cities, dreaming of becoming winners in life, but alas, most were buried beneath the earth.

Influenced by various legends, even Lide couldn’t help but feel expectant, pondering how he’d use three or five Divine Artifacts if he found them inside. After all, he only had two hands, which was indeed a dilemma.

After leaving the Swamp of Sludge, the surrounding environment visibly changed; the soft ground became hard earth that wouldn’t suddenly collapse, and the endless plains were replaced by small hills and towering trees.

Interestingly, everything in the Underworld differed from the surface world, including the roadside woods, where the trees weren’t the lush green vegetation of the surface.

Their bark was dry, as if they hadn’t drawn water in hundreds of years, their branches splayed like human fingers, twisted and withered. The leaves, mostly needles, were sharp like stacked steel pins, pervading an unsettling oddity.

The twisted trees stood in the shadowy light on either side of the sparse grass, resembling demons hiding in shadows, ready to jump out and devour.

But the only good news was that, though the surroundings remained harsh, at least the repulsive smell of rot from the swamp had disappeared.

The air, while not fresh, was no longer foul and stinky.

Crack~

Crack~

The squadron advanced in silence, the sound of dry foliage accompanying their trek.

Lide’s expression showed little fluctuation; the dangers and horrors he had seen in the Underworld over the past days made the eerie environment seem unremarkable.

Stepping up the hill under the terrifying tree shadows, upon reaching its summit, the vista suddenly opened up.
