CHAPTER 591: CHAPTER 399: THE EMBER KING ELDERLY MAKES HIS ENTRANCE (BONUS CHAPTER)

At the break of dawn, it was the most bustling time in front of the Sain Dungeon Teleportation Gate.

Most adventurers still needed sleep and rest; the ones who could arrive at the Dungeon at three were the most diligent. Most people would get up around five or six in the morning.

Of course, if you had a bed in Lake Lienia, working at seven or eight was still timely.

Usually, adventurers lined up to enter the Dungeon at this time. However, today, the adventurers in line made way for the Teleportation Gate.

Because they were allowing another team, bearing everyone’s hopes, to enter the Dungeon.

The Elderly Crusade Team, jointly formed by the Dark Moon Sword and the adventurer’s guild!

They originally thought that after defeating Pope Shalivan’s Phantom, the team would disband. Unexpectedly, they managed to regroup, and the team’s composition was even more luxurious, featuring not just the outstanding members from last time, but also some high-profile figures.

People discussed as they watched the team.

"Hey, hey, look, is that burly guy the Gold Level ’Giant Gate’ Bara? I thought he wouldn’t show up at all this year."

"Next to him is also a Gold Level adventurer, the ’Wild Blade’ Alice?"

"Along with the Hasavi Team and President Ceder, is this team packed with Gold Levels!"

Fingerley, walking at the front, glanced back at the team. Including him, there were six Gold Level adventurers, as well as strong contenders like Elsa, Dal, and Leon, whose strength had also reached the Gold Level, along with a group of elite among elites.

Unreservedly, this team was fully capable of challenging the Hundred-man Dungeon Boss Full Moon Queen’s Biomimetic Tear Drop, with a very high probability of success.

These few Gold Levels were all brought together by Fingerley’s connections, as those who could arrive in time were all he could gather.

He initially planned to use his personal relationships to ask these Gold Levels for help. However, unexpectedly, Princess Selene from the Royal City somehow got wind of the situation and sent a large amount of funding, telling him it was a sponsorship with only one condition:

Shatter Elderly into pieces.

As a result, he didn’t use personal favors but instead spent money to get people over. Even Gold Levels need money sometimes.

He certainly has to visit the Royal City someday to thank Princess Selene in person.

Moreover, the Bed City adventurer’s guild also provided a lot of help, to his complete surprise. The seemingly small Bed City actually housed hidden talents, besides the usual famous figures, President Ceder could even enlist a few unexpected experts.

The quality of this team definitely surpassed that of the team that challenged Shalivan’s Phantom, to the point that even Luluwo almost got optimized out.

While Fingerley was deep in thought, someone among the adventurers on either side of the Teleportation Gate shouted:

"You must win, Brother Fingerley!"

The crowd immediately became even more lively, voices rising one after another.

"Fight Elderly on our behalf too!"

"Show that pile of sludge our strength!"

Ceder glanced around and smiled, "It’s really bustling."

"When we returned from slaying the Demon Clan, the locals saw us off in just the same way." Dal patted his Elf Ball, which held his companion, the giant wolf.

Elsa, forced by Luluwo, raised both hands and waved at the crowd. The emotions she had regained over the past days made her feel embarrassed for this action, her face turning a bit red.

As Fingerley waved back enthusiastically at the crowd, he spotted a few people with not-so-good expressions, clearly from the Holy Light Church.

This made his smile even wider.

Soon after.

After passing through the Teleportation Gate and taking a bit of time to reach Yanor Londo, people made their final preparations before the Fog Gate.

The process was not very different from the previous time they challenged Shalivan’s Phantom, but the presence of numerous strong individuals rendered the atmosphere slightly more relaxed compared to before.

"Everyone, thank you very much for coming to help me today."

Fingerley sincerely expressed his gratitude to everyone, his usual carefree demeanor now imbued with a sense of responsibility and reliability.

"Giant Gate" Bara patted his shoulder and joked, "This time, consider it me working for money, don’t forget I still owe you a life-saving debt. If there’s anything else, feel free to find me."

"Wild Blade" Alice nodded in agreement; they all had history with Fingerley.

"Hmm!"

He nodded heavily and looked towards Ceder, saying:

"President, we are ready, please begin."

"Okay."

Ceder activated the magic, and numerous Magic Arrays appeared on the ground. Just by looking at the scale, there were even more than the beneficial magic cast on Solar before!

However, since the effects of this magic were distributed among everyone, the pressure they bore wasn’t vast, and finally, they got to experience the thrill of the act.

Applying beneficial magic on such a large scale and intensity to this group of mighty individuals was by no means an easy task for Ceder. Why was he doing this?

Rhetorical question, just look at the Silence Ban on Fingerley’s back; people carried an extraordinary number of Potions today.

When they sensed an endless stream of power surging through their bodies, Ceder’s magic enhancement ritual was complete, and they wasted no time, decisively and briskly stepping into the Fog Gate.

The eerie sound of chewing, the churning sound of writhing, a creepy laughter from who knows where, and Gwendolin’s mutilated body, surrounded by black mud and suspended in mid-air, appeared once more before them.
