Gamers of the Underworld 296 Drained Dungeon Core

In Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.

“Warriors!”

Sherlock stood at the entrance of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. With his height, he was able to watch over the gamers. He said, “At the other end of the Teleport Portal, our brothers in Winterfell are facing a huge crisis. The evil Mana of the Great Devil Michelangelo is threatening Winterfell. We have to save Winterfell! I learned about this while I was missing for more than ten days!”

“There is no time to hesitate! Warriors, be prepared, a fierce battle awaits us!”

Sherlock looked at the time and said, “We’ll set off in two days’ time. We’ll disperse now.”

Sherlock left the front of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall after his speech.

Without the restraint of Sherlock, the gamers started discussing the Plot.

“Winterfell is pitiful. It’s involved in the new Battle Campaign Scenario. Hahaha.”

“Are we able to raid Winterfell again?”

“I don’t know. I hope so. I looted a lot of nice furniture last time.”

“Gosh, you looted furniture? I was retrieving equipment, and the furniture was all looted by you!”

Sherlock was in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, typing furiously on his keyboard. A table appeared behind Sherlock, and a computer screen and a computer processing unit were placed on the table. After Sherlock returned, he gifted it to Eggface to commend his heroic performance.

After Bru pleaded with him three times.

Though Eggface had his own computer and didn’t have to fight with Sherlock over it or have the chance to harass Sherlock, Eggface wasn’t able to use the computer anytime.

“Only three hours per day!”

Eggface objected vehemently.

“Wait a moment. That’s not what the computer said. It said that if I helped find you, I’d have unlimited bloody chrysanthemum tea and could play computer games every day!”

Sherlock said calmly, “Will bloody chrysanthemum tea ever run out?”

“That’s not quite possible, but…”

“There are no buts. The bloody chrysanthemum tea will never run out if you have money. You’re allowed to play computer games for three hours every day, that’s pretty good.”

Eggface’s objections were overruled.

Eggface was easily placated. After complaining to himself while playing computer games, he became silent.

Sherlock was creating a new post on the discussion forum:

“‘Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom’ Version 0.25 Official Update:

Added new data, Michelangelo’s relic:

Thousands of years ago, there was a great superior Devil, Michelangelo.

He unified the entire Underworld and gathered all the power of the Underworld residents. Even the Devil Management Committee became his supporting tool.

Michelangelo had the great ambition to conquer the Heavenly Kingdom. He led his immense Dark Army and the entire Underworld in an unknown battle and lost.

The age of the legend was no longer with us. There’s no need to complete the unfinished work of Michelangelo in this new age. However, Michelangelo’s relic appeared near Winterfell.

The great Lord Sherlock obtained the inheritance of Michelangelo. A new crisis arose from the discovery of the relic and the foolishness of Andrew. Misfortune will befall Winterfell.

Warriors! Though Andrew is our enemy, Winterfell is innocent. The wealth of Winterfell must be spared from destruction! Take up your weapons! Help our weak neighbor!

Added new mission, Battle Preparation: To prepare for Winterfell’s crisis, gamers will not be allowed to enter Winterfell until the start of the Battle Campaign Scenario.

Added new friendly NPC, Fallen Angel Lilo: She was a previous member of the Heavenly Kingdom. Because of her arrogance, she became a Hades Fallen Angel. She is a close friend of Sherlock and an important investor.

I also stopped the work of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Added new mission, Gather: All gamers are to gather in Eternal Kingdom within three days. The server will identify the gamers’ locations after three days. Gamers who are not in Eternal Kingdom will suffer equipment and item loss.”

Sherlock checked his post before publishing.

The next thing was to wait.

…

For the past three days, Andrew didn’t sleep. He opened his eyes widely and gazed intensely at the huge statue in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. The facts showed that his guess was correct.

From the statue’s weak Mana, Andrew was able to feel terror deep within his soul.

The unfamiliar Rune Mana Formation was absorbing power from the newly installed Dungeon Core.

The energy of the Dungeon Core was drained within three days.

Since yesterday, Winterfell had stopped providing Mana. The Winterfell residents lived in darkness.

Though the residents were against it, Andrew was obsessed with his great ambition, so he ignored them.

As the statue gained more and more power, Andrew was able to interpret more than half of the Rune Mana Formation, which was used to control the statue. The large statue must be one of Michelangelo’s relics.

The legends said that Michelangelo had 72 powerful superior Devils as his assistants. Perhaps the statue was one of them.

If he was able to unravel the secrets of the Mana Runes, he could control the statue. The chest could contain Michelangelo’s relic and his power!

Andrew was exhilarated. He was researching intensely when the large statue emitted loud booming sounds. An Orc ran over and shouted at Andrew, “Dungeon Lord! The Dungeon Core has been drained!”

But Andrew ignored the Orc. The gigantic statue lifted its leg…
