"Aha, idiots, you should be ashamed!"
When Song Jialin camped near the entrance to the dungeon, she laughed when she heard the reporter interview her.
The Pegasus Guild spent a lot of effort trying to parse the copy, but failed. Naturally, the reporters reacted fiercely.
Song Jialin did not miss this opportunity and shouted to reporters: "These idiots from the Pegasus Guild should be more useful!"
Unfortunately, reporters filtered out most of her words.
Journalists are often criticized for overreporting, but now they want to cut back on coverage!
Even Li Yuxuan was speechless.
Soldiers were trying to control the situation, but reporters kept coming.
The Pegasus Guild, on the other hand, remained silent.
Nothing good can be said at this moment.
Song Jialin was laughing at them unscrupulously, but she suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Yuxuan, who had a serious expression on his face.
Her brows furrowed.
"Asshole, do you still have feelings for the Pegasus Guild?"
Song Jialin gritted her teeth and asked as if she was really angry.
Since the establishment of Tianma Guild, Li Yuxuan has stayed there for more than ten years.
At first he stayed for one reason or another, but then...
Door of hell.
One day, a strange portal appears in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, an unknown place where common sense fails.
Why it appears, what is inside it, or how it is maintained, humans have no idea.
However, hunters continue to challenge it in the hope of conquering it.
Li Yuxuan is also one of the hunters who has challenged it.
To say that most hunters died there would be an understatement.
The survival rate is only 0.3%.
Most of the people who came back alive were unable to maintain their sanity or became disabled. It was difficult for them to live a normal life for the rest of their lives, let alone return to their hunting career.
Although the emotions the hunters felt varied, the one thing they all felt in common was absolute fear.
There is another famous case.
An S-class hunter who once struggled to survive at the Gate of Hell, after returning to society, was so panicked that he peed his pants when he saw an F-class monster, as if he had completely lost the ability to fight against the monster.
"I don't know what the hell you saw in there..."
Song Jialin has never been there.
So she didn't know what Li Yuxuan went through inside the Gate of Hell.
However, she knew that Li Yuxuan must still have some emotional barriers after coming out of the gate of hell.
This is where the problem lies.
A few years ago, international law enacted new regulations that only level A or above hunters can enter the Gate of Hell.
Li Yuxuan is obviously still tied to the Gate of Hell, but he is not a superpower, so he can no longer enter.
However, with the power of Pegasus Guild, this may not be impossible.
Song Jialin believes that this is one of the reasons why Li Yuxuan still stayed in the Tianma Guild even though he was treated badly by the Tianma Guild.
"Hey, do you still have expectations for that guild?"
Song Jialin gritted her teeth and asked as if she was really angry.
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not strong enough, so I'm wondering how I can defeat them."
Li Yuxuan looked at Song Jialin like a rare creature.
…
The reason why the Pegasus Association remains silent to the media is simple.
Although they failed to successfully parse the copy, Ding Wenchu believed that if they performed well enough to be blameless within the copy, their image would be restored.
Knowing that reporters were swarming in, the Pegasus Guild chose to remain silent until official action was taken.
Until some news came back.
"The Dungeon Entrance Authority refuses entry to other teams."
"What?"
Xiao Donghao, the A-level analyst of the Tianma Guild, answered with a serious face.
"What, say it again?"
He turned to an officer and repeated the question because he didn't believe it, but the embarrassed-looking officer said the same thing.
"Yes, the copy entrance bureau..."
"No, I know that. Why?!"
For inaccessible copies, the first person to discover the method of entry will gain "right of entry."
In order to prevent hunters from entering and dying at will, an international law stipulates that those with entry rights can restrict the entry of others.
In other words, there is a lot of room for profit.
"There must be a reason. What did they say?"
"Yes, the Dungeon Entrance Management Bureau, F-level hunter Li Yuxuan said that he is strong enough..."
"Went to his!"
Unlike other guilds and the Hunter Alliance who were just curious, the Pegasus Guild was very angry.
This copy is of great significance to the Pegasus Guild.
The millions they invest are not only for the image, but also to obtain the "unknown knowledge" that exists within the copy.
The Pegasus Guild has invested unimaginable resources in trying to uncover very special knowledge known to only a few people on Earth.
Ding Wenchu took a deep breath.
"No. He's just an F-class hunter. Even with that crazy S-class woman... I don't think the two of them can do much."
On the contrary, if they fail in this copy strategy, Li Yuxuan, who is currently highly praised, will quickly become the target of media criticism.
As a result, everyone's eyes will turn away from the Pegasus Guild.
This is an opportunity.
Li Yuxuan is making the same mistake he made a few days ago!
"It's been giving me a headache since you messed up everything, but..."
…
Through the huge door, a colorful and blurry space comes into view.
Song Jialin waved her baseball bat in the air and said, "Hey, are you sure the two of us are enough?"
Considering this is a misshapen copy, this is a natural question.
Scientific instruments cannot measure the level of the copy, the types of monsters or natural phenomena present in it.
A world different from common sense.
Even Song Jialin couldn't help but worry.
However, Li Yuxuan knew.
This copy, which cannot be measured with scientific instruments, is made of mana, but for a malformed copy, the danger is low.
At most, it is equivalent to an S-level copy.
Under normal circumstances, at least 3 S-level hunters are needed to conquer an S-level dungeon.
Moreover, Li Yuxuan was only wearing second-level equipment.
In this case, it is even difficult to pass the B-level copy.
Not to mention this misshapen copy.
but……
no problem.
Li Yuxuan is sure.
"If we fail and both die, I will curse you in the next life."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Thanks to the system, Li Yuxuan was able to know the name of the copy.
Spell Palace.
As the name suggests, this place is associated with magic.
However, the difference in terms of "development" is very clear.
Throughout the whole day yesterday, Li Yuxuan had doubts when he was repairing the magic circle.
Facts have proved that the spells of the Ravennia Empire are far inferior to the spells of the Vivian Empire.
If we want to compare, just like the technology difference between the late 20th century and the mid-21st century, there is an overwhelming gap of more than 100 years.
But unlike science, the difference with spells is that if the lesser spells are fully understood, the more advanced spells can be achieved.
Although Li Yuxuan's knowledge at Vivian Magic Academy can only be regarded as elementary and middle school level, and he cannot control spells well, he can still "see" it.
As a professor at Vivian Magic Academy, he studied diligently.
"If there is danger, I will sound the alarm. If things don't go well, the 'Blue Crane Society' and 'Flame Ambition' will provide help."
"What? Why them?"
"Not only do we hate the Pegasus Guild. Moreover, saving us and the guide copy can improve their image. Don't you think it kills three birds with one stone?"
"Uh...really? Really? Is there such a thing?"
Li Yuxuan would not enter a dungeon without any precautions.
He cherishes his life.
Moreover, there was one more thing on his mind.
When Li Yuxuan turned around, several members of the Tianma Guild were staring at him from the side.
If looks could kill...
Li Yuxuan avoided their eyes and said with a smile: "Let's go in."
[Entering the copy: Spell Palace of the Revania Empire. 】
With a feeling of being sucked somewhere, the world changed instantly.
It feels similar to traveling to other worlds to hunt down the protagonist, but slightly different.
Soon, Li Yuxuan opened his eyes.
Against the backdrop of a spectacular sunset, the huge, half-ruined Spell Palace unfolds before your eyes.
"Wow……"
【Notice! The end of this world is over. 】
"Um?"
When Li Yuxuan saw this message, he tilted his head.
If the end of a story is over, the story is over.
What else does he need to pay attention to?
Then the system said.
[When the protagonist completes their story, the world they inhabit loses its meaning. 】
[In other words, the world now is in the process of destruction. 】
[Not civilization, but the world itself. 】
[If you don’t leave before the world completely collapses, your life will be in danger. 】
What the hell is going on with this broken system.
He should have been told this first!
Li Yuxuan was surprised, and then sighed.
Regardless of whether the copy crashes or not, nothing has changed.
However, the word "epilogue" is a bit off-putting.
After shaking his head, Li Yuxuan drew something on the ground with chalk.
Song Jialin stared at him curiously, but Li Yuxuan didn't pay attention.
"Okay. Let's go now."
Song Jialin and Li Yuxuan walked towards the entrance of the Magic Palace.
The entrance is simple.
Just like the magic circle drawn at the entrance of the copy, when Li Yuxuan added a few similar lines on it, it opened quickly.
Soon, the scene inside unfolded before their eyes.
Song Jialin and him used binoculars to inspect the internal structure from a distance.
A bipedal creature made of black metal moved around, its eyepiece glowing with a disturbing blue light.
"Oh my god, is that a golem?"
"No, it's a puppet."
Golems and puppets.
At first glance this may seem like the same thing, but it's actually different.
A golem is a natural substance that acquires a soul and becomes a living creature. Therefore, it has various attributes, such as fire, water, earth, etc...
In other words, it is a "spirit".
But golems are magical creatures.
In a way, it's similar to a robot.
A robot that uses magic loops to connect metal and energy.
Moreover, Li Yuxuan could clearly see all the puppets and their magic circuits.
It's so simple, like an adult reading a picture book.
In short, he is a killer machine.
So, what is the structure of this palace?
Vivian's building was obviously built with the help of magic.
However, the existence of the spell is hidden there as much as possible, but this place is different.
The spell loop is very clearly visible.
"Sure enough... I can figure out the structure of this palace. Alas, but it's all meaningless now."
Just when Li Yuxuan was thinking.
"Didi!!"
An alarm suddenly sounded in Li Yuxuan's ears.
An alarm only he could hear.
This is a very basic spell - Boundary Alert.
This spell has almost no effect on Vivian, because it is like a children's toy, and you can break it if you know a little bit of spells.
Here, no one knows how to use or perceive spells.
This means that an intruder has sneaked into this copy.
Li Yuxuan smiled.
Even the one who came was clearly visible.
There are 3 people in total.
There is no doubt that these are three S-class hunters that the Pegasus Guild somehow sneaked in.
The Tianma Guild is not someone who upholds the law.
Since they had already invested millions, Li Yuxuan had already expected it.
Still, he was shocked by the brazen behavior of these people.
"Jialin, we have guests."
"Fuck, they're so annoying."
"You stay here, I'll go alone."
"What?"
Li Yuxuan slowly inspected the interior of the palace.
The spell circuit is surprisingly clear.
Even though this was only the second time he'd witnessed the spell correctly, he was sure of it.
There is not much difference between the two empires' spells.
So if a building is built using magic...that means a place filled with magic.
"Hahaha."
Li Yuxuan put away his magic sword and magic pistol.
These are temporarily unavailable.
From now on, he is not a hunter, but a mage.
