The Little Dragon transformed into a fierce plowing machine, advancing forward.

 

Under the overwhelming dominance of absolute strength, martial techniques were utterly meaningless.

 

Wherever she went, regardless of the invaders’ attire or the bizarre weapons and magic they used, they found it difficult to mount effective resistance. Their weapons poked at the golden-haired girl with no effect. Instead, they were swatted away like bowling pins, one by one.

 

In just a dozen seconds, nearly twenty formidable individuals from various disciplines met their demise at the hands of the Dragon lady. Not to mention the unfortunate ones who were knocked backward, collided with each other, and got injured. The attack formation from the rear was torn open with a huge gap, instantly descending into chaos.

 

This was still under the premise that little dragon considered the environment and avoided causing collateral damage by not using dragon magic.

 

As for the Sin Wardens, although, according to Violet’s instructions, Xiao Guang didn’t actively attack them, the terrifying air pressure caused by the high-speed movement of the dragon girl still overturned many black-robed individuals engaged in combat. Some crashed directly into the wall mechanisms and fell to the ground.

 

Fortunately, the leaders of the Sin Wardens, the two silver-robed men, had some foresight. They quickly discerned little dragon girl’s logic of action. Making a decisive decision, they loudly ordered all subordinates to actively avoid the two girls, reducing meaningless casualties.

 

Although the duty of the 【Sin Wardens】 was to prevent all outsiders from entering the depths of the prison, adhering strictly to rules and wasting combat power on units that might be friendly in the face of a massive external invasion was undoubtedly very foolish.

 

However, after dismissing their subordinates, the two legendary silver-robed men exchanged glances, abandoned their current actions, withdrew, and resolutely stood in front of the narrow entrance.

 

Violet’s original intention was just to clear the way, not to take over the job completely and thoroughly slaughter these invaders. They came fast, and they left just as quickly. In about a minute, The Priestess followed the path opened by Little Dragon, traversed the battlefield, and reached the endpoint.

 

Xiao Guang did not turn around to continue her charge, nor did she make a move against the two silver-robed men who seemed to embrace death—she had the intention to, but was stopped by Violet.

 

So, after slaughtering dozens of renowned experts from various disciplines like crushing ants, Miss Dragon acted as if nothing had happened. She returned to her master’s side without any expression, as usual, not even a trace of blood on her.

 

“Is there something wrong?”

 

Standing at the entrance, looking at the two legendary individuals blocking the unavoidable path, yet not attacking or brandishing their weapons, Violet tilted her head lightly while holding her holy staff.

 

Regardless of anything else, just witnessing Xiao Guang’s displayed strength and having the courage to stand before them without fear made these two individuals quite impressive.

 

The 【Sin Wardens】 lived up to their reputation.

 

Therefore, Violet also retained some patience for conversation.

 

“May I ask why the two of you have come? Beyond this point, there is only Prisoner, and nothing worth observing.”

 

Standing on the left, appearing somewhat older, a man of about forty-something spoke with neither humility nor arrogance.

 

He and the other person, like those in black silk attire, wore similar half-face masks, only theirs were made of silver matching the color of their silk robes, adding a touch of mystery and majesty.

 

“Names.”

 

“?”

 

Stunned by Violet’s unexpected response, he quickly realized that the mysterious black-haired girl was inquiring about their names.

 

“We address each other by numbers internally, nameless and surnameless. You may call me ‘Left Warden.'”

 

“Right Warden.”

 

The younger but more silent man also cooperatively reported his name.

 

“Wow… quite stylish…”

 

Violet coughed lightly, ignoring the invaders behind her who were scattered on the ground, searching for their teeth and currently in chaos. She casually explained, “I’m Violet, and she’s my companion, Xiao Guang. Let’s call us adventurers for now. I’m here to find Ben Melchior because I’m curious about certain things and want to understand them.”

 

“How about it? It’s okay to try to stop us. Just attack if you want. I’ll spare your lives.”

 

……

 

Left Warden and Right Warden exchanged glances for a moment, their auras fluctuating several times. In the end, they could only smile bitterly.

 

“It seems that you don’t take us seriously at all. Indeed, there is always someone stronger. If it were an ordinary day, even if we knew we were destined to lose, we would have to seek guidance from both of you. But now…”

 

They cast their gaze toward the invaders who were glaring ahead, and then the two of them simultaneously moved aside, clearing the way.

 

“The 【Sin Wardens】 respect only the strong. You two have earned that qualification. Please… However, let me advise you—one burdened with sin must receive the punishment they deserve. Please don’t harbor any mercy.”

 

After speaking, Left Warden and the silent Right Warden simultaneously lowered their heads, like statues, no longer uttering a word.

 

“Heh~”

 

Violet chuckled lightly, making no verbal assurances. She walked directly alongside the dragon, and then the two silver-robed men once again brandished their weapons, charging into the enemy formation that had regrouped and was coming towards them.

 

The prison cells on the second floor were not constructed as typical jail cells with iron bars, as Violet had imagined. Instead, it was a vast metallic room where one could only see numerous hanging iron plaques engraved with names and corresponding silver circles below.

 

……

 

“Master… a spatial teleportation node? Human technology can actually reach this level?”

 

In the usually indifferent voice towards battles and everything other than Violet, The Little Dragon expressed a hint of surprise.

 

Spatial teleportation nodes were also a common function in the “Illusory World.”

 

To give a simple example, many dungeons in games and the residences of high-level NPCs were small spaces created using spatial magic, then connected to the main world through special nodes.

 

This concept was somewhat similar to the Forgotten Lands and the reflection worlds created by vampires, but the small worlds connected by spatial nodes were generally entirely new places created by higher-level entities and did not have direct connections to the external main world.

 

The prison cells here, where criminals were held, likely applied a similar technology. By opening numerous independent small spaces and connecting them to this room through nodes, it was a creative and resource-saving design.

 

While ensuring safety and eliminating the possibility of conventional escapes, it also saved countless spatial resources. No wonder the second floor was constructed to look nothing like a prison but more like a steel fortress. All the inmates from the entire second floor were confined to this one place.

 

In other words, the so-called third floor was probably a larger space connected to this one?

 

After all, this room, except for the entrance used when coming in, had no other doors or windows and was illuminated by magical lamps.

 

The question remained: How could the people in this world use spatial technology from the “Illusory World” game?

 

Remembering that Lilya once mentioned that this prison was constructed by an architectural genius three hundred years ago, it’s possible that the technology used here might have originated from that person’s hands.

 

Without delving into whether this “architectural genius” was a player themselves or merely inherited the technology passed down by players, considering the dragon bones proven to be from the “Illusory World” red dragon within the “Fallen Dragon Valley” and the strongly reminiscent so-called “Wishing Spirit Treasure” among other traces, at least one thing can be confirmed.

 

There has definitely been players from the “Illusory World” other than Violet who have visited this world.
