The second level of the dungeon was completely different from the top level, and as soon as Violet entered, the scenery before her underwent an immediate transformation.

 

If the first level of the dungeon bore a striking resemblance to the ancient prisons on Earth, evoking a sense of déjà vu for the priestess, the second level could be summed up in one word…

 

A military base.

 

Apart from some floors and walls that were still made of black stones, this place could be aptly described as an “iron forest.”

 

Iron walls made of dark steel, automated arrow towers, steel puppets driven by unknown technology, retractable floor panels with spikes, suspended from the ceiling by cables, massive swords and hammers triggered by the mechanisms, swinging back and forth…

 

Here, it was almost crafted into an iron fortress that considered both internal and external threats. Violet could count at least seven or eight types of traps, most of which had claimed the lives of one to several invaders.

 

Naturally, there were also many guards and a few bodies wearing black silk attire with half-faced masks. However, due to the presence of traps and mechanical puppets, the casualties were significantly lower compared to the first level.

 

What caught Violet’s attention was the absence of cells for holding prisoners, and the complete lack of intact bodies that had died from having their souls drained. Most people here succumbed to direct physical or magical damage.

 

According to the information she managed to extract from the guards on the upper floor, the exceptionally powerful individual who had killed many guards and prisoners was likely the “other esteemed envoy.”

 

He hadn’t attacked anyone here again—was he conserving energy for recovery, or had he been stopped by some other powerful figure?

 

With these uncertainties in mind, Violet continued forward with her pet.

 

Although most traps had already been triggered by the invading forces, the priestess’s irregular walking pattern occasionally led to poisoned crossbow bolts shooting unexpectedly from blind spots, or massive stones and hammers dropping with a resounding “thud” from above, making the journey quite daunting.

 

However, all of them were either casually swatted away or pulverized by a certain dragon lady before they could get close to Violet.

 

Following the traces of the ongoing battle for a considerable distance, Violet finally heard the clash of blades and the thunderous sounds of unknown origin not far ahead.

 

Looks like they caught up.

 

When Xiao Guang and Violet reached the edge of the battlefield, they saw a fierce clash between two groups of hundreds near a seemingly defensible narrow entrance.

 

One side consisted of the eccentric individuals, each forming a group based on their unique factions, ranging from a dozen to several dozen people, collaborating and continuously pushing forward.

 

The other side comprised some of the prison guards who had retreated from the first level and the black-robed, masked individuals that Violet had seen before. Their numbers and offensive capabilities were equivalent, mainly relying on the mechanical traps within the second level of the dungeon to staunchly defend the narrow entrance.

 

The booming sounds were the continuous activation of the traps.

 

It seemed that behind this battle was the cell where the prisoners were held. Otherwise, there would be no reason for such a peculiar terrain design and the multitude of miscellaneous traps nearby.

 

Noteworthy was the fact that among the 【Sin Wardens】, two men wearing silver robes stood out as exceptionally powerful. They were moving back and forth in the enemy ranks, facing all challenges single-handedly, and none could match them.

 

Legendary.

 

Two legends willingly stationed in such an obscure place, their names unheard of…

 

This must be one of the true forces hidden in the shadows of the Human United Kingdom.

 

However, their intense battle had inadvertently blocked Miss Violet, and throughout the entire engagement, she hadn’t seen the so-called “esteemed envoy.”

 

Although this group of invaders had strong average strength, they lacked a pinnacle force, the most powerful among them was only at the peak of the sky realm, and not a single legend was present.

 

If someone thinks they can break through the second level of the dungeon guarded by at least two legends with this level of strength, it’s a bit far-fetched.

 

But just restraining them…

 

“Sigh… There’s no point in sneaking around at a time like this. Let’s go all out.”

 

“Understood! I can’t wait any longer, Master!”

 

Hearing this familiar tone, the dragon girl, who knew Violet’s personality very well, immediately understood that her master intended to send her into action. The usually eager-to-fight dragon lady became eager and ready as well.

 

The black-haired girl pointed ahead to the battlefield.

 

“This mission is simple. Clear a path and send anyone blocking our way flying!”

 

“Got it! Hehe, I’m on it!”

 

With a proud and unrestrained smile on her face, the humanoid dragon, no longer suppressing her nature, took the lead like a golden lightning bolt, charging straight into the nearest group of enemies, fists ready!

 

Two middle-aged men, shirtless and wielding giant spears, noticed someone approaching and immediately countered with thrusting attacks.

 

“Haha! Bunch of trash!”

 

Unexpectedly, the golden-haired girl laughed arrogantly, not bothering to dodge. She planned to confront the two with her fists, which were not even as large as the spearheads, against the refined steel!

 

“Arrogant!”

 

Feeling the disdain as if they were being looked down upon, the two men simultaneously roared. The muscular arms illuminated with a metallic gray glow, and the sharp spearheads split into two additional, peculiar tridents, thrusting directly at Xiao Guang’s exposed side!

 

The Hundred Shadow Spear Technique, a legendary martial art created by a transcendent powerhouse, belonged to a renowned heritage faction in the eastern part of the Human United Kingdom. It could condense internal energy into tangible spear lights. Those at the pinnacle could even manifest a hundred spears simultaneously, launching an instantaneous and overwhelming assault that was nearly impossible to defend against.

 

Although they only managed to create three spears in their haste, the simultaneous attacks from two sky-level individuals caught the brothers off guard. Against opponents of similar strength, a momentary lapse in focus could result in being defeated in a single move.

 

Despite their strong demeanor and verbal rebuke, the brothers, upon witnessing the seemingly peerless combat skills of the young girl before them, became extremely cautious. They immediately exerted their full power when they engaged.

 

However…

 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

 

The four spear lights struck the delicate skin of the golden-haired girl, instantly crumbling without leaving a scratch.

 

Following that, her pair of pink fists, exhibiting overwhelming strength, met the spearheads head-on, shattering the two giant spears into useless pieces in mid-air. In front of the astonished and horrified expressions of the brothers, she hammered them, causing the two to fly backward like projectiles, knocking down at least a dozen people along the way.

 

When they finally collided with the hard mixed-metal wall, creating two huge indentations, the descendants of the Hundred Shadow Spear Technique had already met their demise.

 

“What the hell! What kind of monstrous strength is that!”

 

“Don’t get close to that blonde woman! Use long-range attacks!”

 

Amidst the chaotic battlefield, several alarmed voices erupted simultaneously, but the dragon lady paid no heed to the babbling of these humans. After sending the two men flying, she immediately sprinted forward. The shockwaves generated by her mere running blew away several 【Sin Wardens】 who attempted to approach.

 

As anticipated by Violet, the prison guards these days wouldn’t allow intruders to approach the depths of the prison simply because they attacked them. It is the duty of the 【Sin Wardens】 to prevent anyone unauthorized from entering the Grand Dungeon.

 

Even if Miss Priestess were to present the token of the princess to them now, it probably wouldn’t work. Ultimately, Lilya is still just a princess, not a queen.

 

But it doesn’t matter, she can just beat up a few more people.
