From the teleportation gate emerged a rebel army of soldiers, and their numbers exceeded a hundred!
Over a hundred members of the Demon Clan appearing directly in the Great Safety Zone means they must have reached this place long before today’s incursion!
It’s been only a little over a day since Chrono reported the appearance of the Sain Dungeon.
Jula’s actions are so swift!?
Unfortunately, Jula’s flesh and blood clone has self-destructed, leaving us without the chance to question him for more details.
What kind of mindset and decisiveness does he possess to command the dispatch of soldiers in such a short time?
Over a hundred rebel soldiers, each one an elite. Although they can’t match Chrono in individual prowess, their collective combat power is enough to annihilate all the Demon King Army soldiers present.
Should we continue the battle with Jula here?
Finding Jula’s true body will take quite a long time; his location is at the edge of the settlement, visible only as vague structures in the distance.
Doesn’t it seem as if the area occupied by that guy has a certain aura reminiscent of Sain Ancient City?
"Roar!"
The rebel soldiers roared as they transformed, and one by one, smaller giants, three to four meters tall, appeared brimming with murderous intent, charging towards Chrono and the others.
Onora didn’t find anything to fear about this scene.
For this was the Sain Dungeon, where everyone had touched the bonfire, rendering them unable to kill each other.
Our side even has the Abyss to ensure the enemy’s spiritual death, while the rebels only consist of pure berserkers without a single one adept in magic.
Thinking of this, Onora smiled and stomped on the ash-covered ground, burying half of her calf.
"Go ahead, show these traitors your power," she ordered Chrono and the soldiers.
"Ah, this..."
The Demon King Army soldiers looked up at the rebel soldiers on the opposite, and the troop numbers comparison showed they were outnumbered by a factor of a hundredfold.
In a proper battlefield, they would never agree to such an overwhelming battle!
But this was the Dungeon.
"Get in there!" Chrono emitted a piercing shriek imbued with the unique power of the Demon King Bloodline, and hearing this sound, the Demon King Army soldiers instantly went into a frenzy, casting aside all fears and doubts.
The rebel soldiers also received a shriek from Jula, and two waves of frenzied soldiers charged at each other, akin to multiverse-sized Hulks clashing, though certainly not as enormous as the Hulk himself.
Chrono joined the battlefield, able to easily take on several soldiers alone. If he transformed—even halfway—he could beat dozens of berserk soldiers, especially now with his power bolstered by the Abyss, his prowess had long leaped forward.
But therein lay the problem!
He dared not exert full strength, fearing that the Abyss’s aura might accidentally reveal itself to Onora, fighting cautiously throughout.
Have I hidden it well?
He sneaked a glance at Onora’s direction; she stood aside watching, perhaps ready to act against soldiers who dared initiate attacks on her.
"Huh?"
Chrono sensed something and smiled, murmuring, "So that’s what it’s all about."
He loudly exclaimed, "Please witness our power, Lady Onora!"
Thus, he and his soldiers invested wholeheartedly in the battle, seemingly vying to stand out.
Indeed, the performance was quite apparent.
Elsewhere.
"So this is the Dungeon, such a marvelous existence."
Having successfully occupied the Sain Ancient City Small Safe Zone, Jula marveled at the rules that appeared in his mind. The unique rules and rewards exclusive to the Sain Dungeon felt fresh and distinct, and he could guess their considerable value.
It seems necessary to seize this entire Dungeon, not relinquishing a single inch!
"General, should we go and support now?" a follower beside him asked.
Fallback? No matter the outcome in the Great Safety Zone, it wouldn’t truly affect their strength, and fallback seemed meaningless.
Moreover, having captured the Small Safe Zone here, he must guard it and not risk losing it over fallback actions.
"Summon the soldiers, let them come, the more, the better!"
Jula waved his hand with commanding authority.
Before his army arrives, he would not choose to leave the Dungeon by a single step! Even if he did, he wouldn’t relax his monitoring of the Safety Zone security for even a moment.
Occupation means the first person to touch the Safe Zone bonfire can become the area’s leader. To usurp that leadership, the requirement is simple—kill.
If the leader is within the Dungeon, kill repeatedly, kill to the point of exhaustion until they must be expelled, and the last person to kill the leader takes the position.
If the leader is outside the Dungeon, then slaughter his forces completely, making the leader bereft of any followers in the Safety Zone, causing a change in leadership.
