Chapter 387: Chapter 24: Assembly: Subjugation of the Bone Dragon
Ruins, 36th Underground City.
The 36th Underground City of the ruins in Fireflame City is quite a famous one.
This area was among the first batch of underground cities excavated in Fireflame City. It was discovered at the inception of the Adventurer Guild. Many of the other cities from the same batch have been thoroughly explored, yet this one remains almost completely unknown.
Initially, this underground city was no different from others when it was first excavated, and the Adventurer Guild conducted explorations as usual.
Unexpectedly, during the exploration, they discovered a terrifying Undead Giant Beast, the Bone Dragon, inside the city.
Facing such a powerful creature, only seen in tales, ordinary adventurers with mere mortal bodies were no match. When the Undead Dragon Breath carrying an aura of death swept through, any adventurers facing it vanished in an instant.
This included an entire Platinum Level adventurer team led by a Great Knight, which was completely wiped out during the exploration.
Ultimately, it was the Guardian of the Fireflame City region who personally entered the underground city to finally quell the raging Undead Bone Dragon.
Since then, the Adventurer Guild has sealed off this underground city, prohibiting any adventurers from entering it freely. It is known as one of the forbidden areas of the guild.
And today, this long-sealed forbidden land is meeting its unsealing moment—
The highest Guardian of Fireflame City, the creator of the Adventurer Guild, the legendary Silver Wizard, Lord Saphiros Alsaas Diablo will enter the 36th Underground City to eliminate the terrifying monster residing within, the Bone Dragon!
On this day, outside the underground city, flags were flying, and crowds gathered.
“Is the 36th Underground City finally going to be reopened?”
“Slay the Bone Dragon! Haha, I never thought I’d witness such a grand event in my lifetime!”
“Glory! Glory!”
The 36th Underground City used to be a giant dragon’s lair, which, besides the dragon, also housed numerous followers and vassals.
These beings were all turned into Undead Creatures after the dragon turned into a Bone Dragon.
Although the strength of these followers is mediocre, their overwhelming numbers can still pose significant trouble. Lynch does not want any mistakes in this fight against the Bone Dragon, so he has gathered most of his forces.
The Adventurer Guild, Fireflame City, Light Church… they brought almost all the forces they could.
They will enter the underground city to confront the Bone Dragon’s followers, allowing Lynch to focus solely on battling the Bone Dragon.
At this moment, adventurers from all directions gathered outside the 36th Underground City, their numbers reaching over ten thousand, with almost all the well-known Bronze Level adventurers from the Adventurer Guild present.
Other Black Iron Level adventurers wanted to participate but were too weak to be summoned, otherwise the numbers would have been even higher.
Everyone doesn’t want to miss this historically significant achievement, slaying the Bone Dragon, which would surely be an envied dazzling badge for any adventurer.
“The Guardian is personally taking action… All seven Executioners are here… Tsk…”
“Will we get to see the legendary Guardian?”
Besides proving themselves, another reason everyone gathered here was to catch a glimpse of the legendary Guardian.
This mythical figure suddenly appeared in Fireflame City, single-handedly establishing the Adventurer Guild and creating a new order in this region, becoming akin to a divine symbol on these lands.
Yet this mythical person who seemingly single-handedly created this world has only existed in tales passed through word of mouth.
He is truly too mysterious!
Aside from his seven students, no one has seen or interacted with him, leading many to debate his existence, some even suspecting the Guardian might be a fabricated legend.
And today, the legend reportedly will step into reality, drawing many to come and witness it firsthand.
In one corner of the crowd, Julia and several companions gathered.
She had already changed into a pristine white Priest’s Robe, wearing a flat Priest Hat, and held a long golden tin rod, looking every bit a church priest.
After settling for a time, they all joined different factions of transcendent organizations based on their mastered Magic Attributes. Julia, who had always practiced Light Element spells, naturally joined the church, becoming a Holy Light Priestess.
“Julia, have you never seen the legendary Guardian in the church? Isn’t he known to have a good relationship with the Holy Daughter of Light?” her companion Laine asked in confusion.
Julia shook her head, “I’ve never seen him. The Holy Daughter rarely mentions the Guardian.”
A red-haired Witch nearby giggled, “I heard from Tutor Regga that the Guardian is quite handsome indeed.”
This was Cecily, who, after coming to Fireflame City, joined the Wizard Tower, becoming Regga’s apprentice.
Over the years, in Lynch’s Witch Domain, besides Alya, two more apprentices broke through to the Wizard Level, Regga from the Alchemy Workshop and Flora from the Magic Farm.
Now that the Alchemy Workshop and Magic Farm are on track, Lynch assigned them both to the Wizard Tower, to specifically oversee apprentice training.
Cecily described with a starry gaze, “I heard the Guardian’s hair is like strands of silver, his features like a sculptor’s masterpiece, and his eyes as dazzling as stars.”
Laine looked incredulous, “That’s exaggerated!”
Cecily retorted, “It’s true!”
Laine looked unconvinced, “I don’t believe it. Anyone who reaches the Second Tier would be hundreds of years old, with backs too bent to stand straight, how can they be handsome?”
Cecily pouted discontentedly, “Believe what you will!”
As the two argued, suddenly, a loud dragon roar echoed from the sky—
“Roar!”
Following that, they saw a small fire-red-scaled dragon swiftly cutting through the clouds above, flying quickly in their direction.
The seven Judges who were resting rose together, looking up at the sky with genuine reverence.
And with their movement, the remaining adventurers also became emotionally stirred.
Everyone knew, the legendary Guardian—
Had arrived!
