Chapter 239: 237 Underground Labyrinth_1

“Your Majesty, here we are.”

The goblin jumped off the warg and pointed to a flat, sandy ground.

Before coming here, Otto had done some homework and naturally knew that Lauren Underground City was an underground city-state.

Otto nodded to show that he understood, and then, under the admiring gaze of the goblin, turned his entire body into a semi-transparent state.

After that, he slowly sank into the ground.

Phantom Insubstantiality wasn’t very helpful to Otto, who excelled at close combat, during battles.

But in situations like this, it was really convenient.

Traveling through the underground like a ghost, Otto eventually found Lauren Underground City after an unknown amount of time.

Goodness, the city was built around 20 to 30 meters deep underground. If it wasn’t for Otto’s ability of Phantom Insubstantiality, it would be really hard to find it.

The time it took for Otto, in his ghostly state, to pass through different objects varied.

Unlike the loose sand and mud he passed through before, Lauren Underground City was surrounded by thick stone walls.

So, it took quite a bit of time for Otto to pass through them.

When he finally succeeded in entering the city by going through the stone walls, he coincidentally encountered a patrol of white-armored, well-equipped soldiers.

Although they were puzzled by the semi-transparent giant dragon’s appearance, they attacked Otto immediately.

Not even bothering to revert to his true form and unable to use his breath weapons, Otto casually threw several Acid Balls at them.

In no time, these courageous patrollers were completely dissolved by the Acid Balls.

From what Otto could tell, the patrollers appeared to be human.

Although humans were not uncommon in the Dragon Bone Wasteland, it was rare to see them serving as city guards or patrollers.

After all, when compared to many indigenous species native to the Dragon Bone Wasteland, humans had natural disadvantages in combat and loyalty.

Plus, their wages were rather expensive

If Otto were the city lord, he wouldn’t employ human guards unless there was some special reason.

But others were free to do as they pleased.

Shaking his head, Otto floated slowly in a direction he picked, like a real ghost.

Lauren Underground City seemed to be no different from an ordinary dungeon, with similar scenes everywhere.

Every path he randomly took was winding and complicated, like a labyrinth.

Fortunately, Otto could simply ignore any walls blocking him in his current state and directly pass through them.

When he went through another wall, he discovered yet another patrol.

Without hesitation, he threw several Acid Balls at them before they could notice him and react.

These unfortunate guys were turned into a disgusting viscous liquid along with their excellent equipment without even emitting a scream.

Like before, this patrol also consisted solely of humans.

Moreover, what Otto found quite curious was that, besides these two patrols, he hadn’t encountered any ordinary residents on his way.

In fact, he hadn’t even found any normal houses.

All the surrounding buildings seemed to form a complex underground maze.

To Otto, this didn’t seem to be the posture of a city-state open to the public.

Moreover, in his opinion, even without disabling the teleportation Magic Array, the stupid Monsters’ Families of the Soaring Dragon Legion might very well have gotten lost in this complex maze after arriving here.

Anyway, Otto himself couldn’t see through the surrounding structure, but he didn’t need to.

With a smirk, Otto just continued to pass straight through in the direction he’d chosen earlier.

This time, the scenery changed a bit, and it seemed like an open square surrounded him.

In the center of the square stood a peculiar human-shaped statue.

Before Otto could see the details of the statue, a group of people dressed similarly to the previous patrollers rushed towards him.

Apart from them, Otto also saw a large group of people wearing white robes and holding wands, looking like Spellcasters, in the center of the square.

Earlier, they had been kneeling respectfully in front of the statue.

Now, they got up one by one and, with the well-equipped white-armored people, launched an attack on Otto.

The first to charge were several human warriors wearing white armor and holding white swords and shields.

But, obviously, Otto floating in the air was out of their normal attack range.

Just as he was about to ignore them for the moment, they each pulled out a peculiar white crystal from behind, with their swords’ handguards possessing slots for the crystals.

When they had placed the crystals in the slots, they swung their swords at Otto from a distance.

Several wind blades turned into white sword light and rapidly assaulted Otto.

“What the fuck is this?”

Otto was taken aback. Although he had stepped into the realm of legends, it didn’t mean he liked being beaten like a target.

It was easy to avoid such attacks—just rise quickly into the upper stone wall, and the white sword light that resembled wind blades would be naturally blocked by the hard rock.

And that was exactly what Otto did, and the result was very effective.

But then, he felt the stone wall somehow expel him from its interior, and before he knew it, he was pushed out by a white light.

This surprised Otto, and he wondered what that white light was.

Before he could think further, another round of white wind blades attacked him.

With Otto’s massive 20-meter-long dragon body as a target, it would be difficult for the group of white-armored people below to miss.

However, Otto in his Phantom Insubstantiality state had a significant reduction in damage received from most attacks.

While he didn’t know what type of attack these strange white assaults belonged to, his experience told him they didn’t exceed his resistance as a phantom.

And judging from the damage to his body, the attacks seemed more like magical attacks.

That meant that the white-armored sword and shield soldiers down there were skilled in both magic and martial arts.
