After Sherlockâs firm rejection, the giant Octopus Man shook his head and said, âItâs not a wise decision to reject my suggestion.â
Two tentacles of the Octopus Man flew towards Sherlock.
Just like before, the tentacles were chopped off when they got close to Sherlock.
To a superior Devil like Sherlock, the physical attacks were unable to harm him.
âYou have some capabilities. It looks like youâre not a common student,â the Octopus said as he turned around to look at Sherlock.
âIf itâs convenient, tell me the real motive for building the construction site. Iâll handle it with discretion,â Sherlock said without expression to the Octopus Man, who wouldnât yield.
âKill him.â
The Octopus Man snapped his finger, and two bulges appeared at his feet.
Two sticky Devils broke out from an alternate dimension at his feet.
...
Brainiac stood in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall and gazed at the spot where Lord Sherlock disappeared. He had waited for more than an hour.
However, Sherlock didnât come back.
Sherlock vanished for the same duration as Frangipani.
It was a Soul Connection Mana spell.
When was it activated?
Frangipani actually signed a Soul Contract with Lord Sherlock.
His soul was permanently attached to Sherlock.
When Frangipani was captured by Mana, Sherlock activated Soul Connection and vanished from the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
Brainiac related Sherlockâs disappearance to the missing Polio, Phoenix, and Eggface.
Were they captured by a mysterious force?
Brainiac pondered hard, but he didnât make any progress.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
The space beside Brainiac distorted violently, and the Dungeon Lord Main Hall was ravaged by the distorted dimension. It was as though a hurricane had just passed by.
Brainiac managed to activate a defensive barrier just as the space beside him was distorted.
Therefore, the turbulent Mana ripples didnât harm Brainiac.
When everything settled down, Brainiac bowed deeply to the dark figure before him and said, âLord Sherlock, youâre back.â
Sherlock was leaning against a chair, and his hair was a mess. However, he looked good.
Both of his hands were stained with fresh blood. It wasnât known whether the blood was his or not, but underneath his leg was a huge Octopus head.
That was the Octopus Man, who was trying to coax Lord Sherlock in the alternate dimension.
âBrainiac...â
Sherlock held a document in his hand as he said, âGather all of our forces and prepare for battleâa battle against Hades.â

Peasant was waiting at the entrance of the construction site to start work, as it was his turn to work at the construction site for two Magic Stones per day.
However, the construction site wasnât open for work.
Many gamers and local Underworld residents were gathered at the entrance waiting to start work.
The local Underworld residents were mainly from Venice Dungeon.
The salary was attractive, so the hired workers were waiting impatiently to start work.
Working a day in the construction site was equivalent to working three days elsewhere. Only this construction site was paying a high salary.
âWhy arenât we starting work yet...â
Peasant heard the system notification alert, which stated:
[Full-service emergency mission. Leave immediately with the native workers.
Mission Description: The Devil from Hades had awakened. The entire Northern Underworld could be massacred. Please prepare before the event. First, rescue the natives outside the construction site.
Mission Reward: This is the first step in a series of Chain Missions. Gamers will be rewarded according to their performance. The minimum reward is a gold coin.
Mission Notes: Donât be too cautious. Make the mission your first priority. There wonât be any penalty for deaths sustained during the missions.]
âQuick! Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately! Everyone, follow me!â a gamer shouted loudly.
Many gamers started yelling.
âQuick! Follow me! A calamity is about to occur!â
âThe army of a Hades Devil is coming! Youâll be killed if you donât flee!â
âArenât the armies of the Hades Devils our allies?â
The gamers spoke with smiles, befuddling the natives.
They wondered what the creatures from Eternal Kingdom were up to.
They were there to work. How could there be any danger?
Perhaps, the real danger came from the creatures of Eternal Kingdom.
Especially the Gnome, Moroes, who was working as a security guard. He had been wielding a weapon when he first arrived.
Compared to the friendly army of Hades, these fierce-looking creatures of Eternal Kingdom were more frightening.
The gamers didnât know what the natives were thinking.
They thought that their words werenât effective against native NPCs.
The befuddled natives thought that the gamers were joking.
A loud bang was heard inside the closed construction site.
There was a tremor, as though a powerful explosion had occurred, and the closed construction site was blown to bits.
The violent explosion frightened the Underworld residents.
However, the gamers of Eternal Kingdom werenât affected.
That was because they were the worldâs bravest warriors and werenât afraid of death. What were they afraid of?
âFlee!â
COMMENT
âFlee with me. Weâll help you escape!â
âFollow me if you donât wish to die!â
The natives responded to the gamersâ calls.
They ran in a hurry to escape the impending calamity.
It could be the invasion of the Hades army or other terrifying calamities.
They felt that their lives were being threatened.
Fleeing was their top priority.
The gamers assisted the natives at the construction site in escaping.
At the same time, the gameâs official website was updated.
