My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 36 So-called Fate

The dungeon is a passage to the underworld, a dark, lightless place that mercilessly and equally devours the lives of the cowardly and the brave.

Gabo was lucky; he fell into a deep pool instead of hitting the muddy ground directly.

But he was also very unlucky. His magic stones were exhausted, most of his constant spells had failed, and the puppet that was protecting him was turning into a cage that was devouring his magic.

"Cough...cough."

After an unknown amount of time, Gabo slowly opened his eyes, feeling waves of pain throughout his body.

"Healing techniques..."

Gabo raised his hand, and a green light slowly enveloped his body, repairing his broken bones.

"Comas, Derek..."

Painful images flashed through his mind, and Gabo trembled as fear, anger, and guilt surged into his heart.

Why, why didn't I die?

How am I still alive?

Thinking this way.

The healing spell in Gabo's hands began to dissipate, and that excruciating pain surged up again.

I might as well just die.

He brought so many people from his family, saying he wanted to make a lot of money, but in the end, he's the only one still alive.

I'd rather die.

Just as Gabo was feeling utterly hopeless, a candle suddenly lit up.

The puppet's mask was removed, and a young man's face appeared before him.

"Hey, are you alright? Did you run out of magic stones? I have some spares here!"

The young man frantically pulled out a brand-new magic stone from his backpack and began clumsily changing the energy source for the magic puppet.

"..."

Gabo looked at the young man, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice.

"Have you and your adventurer group become separated?"

"Huh? Yeah, those monsters were terrifying. I fell down, but luckily I was lucky and landed on a mushroom, so I didn't die."

"My name is Ross, what's yours, bro?"

"...Gabo."

"Oh! That green-silver captain!"

Ross immediately became excited. He was just an ordinary person, and if he fell into such a deep underground city, he would eventually become food for wild beasts.

If we could get help from the leader of an adventure party, there would be at least a glimmer of hope!

Seeing that Ross wore his heart on his sleeve, Gabo suddenly realized that there were still things he could do, and it wasn't time to die yet.

At that moment, another howl rang out, and the terrifying dragon's might made the two of them tense up again.

Gabo could even see the flesh-and-blood monsters surging down from above.

"Rose, stop standing there! Run if you want to live!"

The broken puppet started moving again, and Gabo struggled again, grabbing Ross and rushing down.

Among the flesh and blood monsters, Sargeras was staring at Gabo through the eyes of the griffin.

He suddenly felt like playing.

He wanted to torment these two idiots to death, preferably by making them kill each other.

So the monsters all turned around and went to help the Child of Shadows fight the adventurers who were still putting up a last-ditch effort.

Blood Puppet, alone and unhurried, charged towards Gabo, like a wolf eyeing its prey in the night.

......

Shi Qing frowned, a sudden realization dawning on him; he sensed trouble was about to strike.

He could clearly sense with his divine sense that a fierce battle was breaking out in the underground city above.

The Shadow Child continuously adds monster blood clots, forming wave after wave.

The city defense forces are also releasing more puppets to join the battlefield.

The various monster cave territories have been ravaged and riddled with holes.

"This is really interesting. It doesn't feel like a competition for resources; it's more like a test of the strength of each other's creations."

After making a few complaints, Shi Qing waved his hand, and several talismans immediately flew out, transforming into illusions that sealed the cave. From the outside, it looked like just a cliff with no way forward.

He could sense that several lucky individuals were being hunted down, but he had no intention of helping them. He disliked getting involved in karma, as it would cause a lot of trouble.

But he didn't go too far.

"It's all up to fate; let's see if you're lucky enough to escape here."

at the same time.

Ross was constantly on the go.

He was wrong, terribly wrong.

Gabo is not his protector, but a plague god who brings disaster!

Before encountering Gabo, he always managed to escape those fleshy evil creatures without serious injury.

But now it's clear that the monster is coming for Gabo!

He was neither too far nor too close to me, constantly urging me and Gabo on, giving us no time to rest or eat!

"Rose, I suggest we split up and run."

Just as Ross was complaining, Gabo suddenly spoke up.

"You've seen it too, that monster is here to kill me. If you keep running with me, you'll only die."

Ross's lips twitched, and he looked at Gabo with a look of despair.

I want to run well, but it makes me feel awkward if you say it out loud, my friend.

Along the way, Gabo helped him block many attacks, but now he's abandoning him and running away.

I'm not a shameless person.

"Actually, there is another way."

"Look, that thing is the corpse of a harpy lord. He must be hated by the harpies."

"If we can find the harpy's cave, maybe they'll fight it out, and we might escape unharmed?"

Upon hearing this, Gabo smiled wryly.

As a seasoned adventurer, he knew very well that in the territory of monsters, the death of the leader basically meant the collapse of the tribe.

Moreover, the blood puppet's strength was no less than that of the demon leader.

But before he could explain, the two of them suddenly lost their footing, the road collapsed, and they tumbled together to a fork in the road.

Ross, looking disheveled and about to curse, suddenly felt a cool sensation.

It is the element of wind.

Could there really be a harpy nest nearby?

What the hell!

What incredible luck!

Ross immediately sprinted toward a fork in the road.

"Gapo! We're saved! Just like I said, all we have to do is lure out the harpies..."

Ross's voice gradually lowered, his steps slowed, and his face became blank.

Where is the harpy's lair here?

There is only a cliff here.

The blood puppet behind him was getting closer and closer, and a blood spike shot out, almost hitting Ross.

But Gabo waved his hand, blocking the attack for him.

However, he also lost his balance and was seriously injured. After a few stumbles, he actually pushed Ross down and crashed into the smooth stone wall.

The pain I had imagined did not occur; beneath me lay a soft sandy surface.

At that moment, a dark shadow loomed over him.

Gabo and Ross looked up and saw the face beneath the black cloak, their eyes widening slowly.

Ross recognized the man's face; it was Vishi, whom both the Shadow Child and the city's defense forces were searching for!

Gabo was also astonished, never expecting to encounter Vichy here again.

But Vichy merely glanced at them indifferently and said coldly.

"Now you need to swallow everything you see, understand?"

Before Gabo and Ross could nod, the illusion vanished abruptly.

An unprecedented pressure suddenly erupted.

Thirteen sword blades flew out of the sword box, and countless talismans surged forth, transforming into a long dragon.

In an instant, Vishi's blood surged, and a blood-red sword light slashed out.

The enormous blood puppet suddenly raised its head, meeting Vishi's eyes, which were devoid of any emotion, only possessing an unparalleled majesty.

In a dark corner of the underground city.

Hercules suddenly opened his eyes, his stomach churned, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, suffering a severe mental blow.

He muttered incoherently, his eyes filled with pain and despair. That move had instantly killed his blood puppet clone; the speed of the attack was so fast that he didn't even have time to react!

Sargeras was certain that even if he were to fight in his true form, he would only die if he took that sword strike.

But what angered him most was the person wielding the sword; she was clearly a vampire, yet she wanted to protect those who were different!

"traitor!"
