Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

Chapter 1114

Chapter 1114

In the long-silent Underground Cemetery, footsteps rang out, shaking the earth and sky.

Standing over fifty meters tall, the giant clad in black iron armor pushed open the door leading to the second level of the Underground Cemetery.

Behind the door, a deep and mysterious passage appeared, leading to an unknown destination.

Just looking at this passage itself gives people a cold feeling of almost being sucked in.

After millions of years, this passage still looks the same as when it was first built, without any trace of differentiation.

Everything seems to be frozen in the river of time.

This is also why the highest mages of the divine era considered the Underground Cemetery as the most important last resort.

Because this is the only known large-scale relic that still contains a large amount of magic during the period of magic tide decline.

The entire Underground Cemetery is not just a simple vertical structure, not even just one type of terrain. It is a century-long project of unimaginable scale.

It is said that the architectural scale of the entire Underground Cemetery was built with a "million" level residential system, like a heavenly paradise after death.

The first layer, which is closest to the surface, appears to fit the impression of an underground cemetery. The huge plaza was built as a hub to gather forces.

The strangeness of the Underground Cemetery begins to show from the second level onwards.

Walking through that long corridor, the mist in the passage became thicker, even spreading with a light blue fog.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The departed princess hesitated, standing in front of a large door leading to the second level area.

On the first floor gate of the Underground Cemetery, there were engravings of human hero epics and the figure of the last giant.

As for the second level gate, it depicted a vast blue sea, where a colossal creature was gracefully swimming.

That was the figure of the second level Guardian - the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast.

Yes, the second level of the Underground Cemetery was a maritime region.

Despite being deep underground, there existed an underground sea here, which became a part of the Underground Cemetery.

Guarding this place is a sea dragon that is all blue in color. Just like the last giant wearing black iron armor, this sea dragon is also wearing armor with a green mark on it.

Its length exceeds one hundred meters, and it is a specialized war weapon used for underwater combat. This is something even the current ruler, Leviathan Empire, has not encountered.

In the final battle of the divine era, this Emerald Sea Dragon Beast attacked from behind the dragon clan, cutting off a large amount of logistical support from the sea tribe to the land camp. It was one of the key factors that led to the victory of the humans in the war, which lasted for several years.

Its ruler is War Dancer, the most skilled Guardian in the Underground Cemetery when it comes to naval battles.

When she was still alive, she was an elder in the bloodline of the deceased princess, even though they were only five years apart in age.

The long silence was broken, and the enormous creature sleeping in the underground sea opened its eyes.

"Oh, King, is it time for another conquest?"

Can I once again showcase my power?

This is why the deceased princess disliked her younger aunt. She used to be the kingdom's most beautiful dancer, always capturing everyone's attention.

She was more eager for glory than anyone else, proud of her own beauty.

Even in death, this determination didn't diminish even a bit. Rather, it intensified.

In the war between humans and dragons, she stood out prominently, overwhelming the black iron giant who served as the vanguard.

"I smell the scent of war, Your Majesty, the mighty Emerald Sea Dragon Beast has been waiting."

"Enemy dead, we are victorious."

"Dancer, awaiting your summons."

The emerald-colored radiance shimmered, as a massive pillar of water rose up into the sky. Covered in gleaming armor, the Sea Dragon Beast with its streamlined body emerged from the depths of the sea, roaring and cheering.

The nearly transparent steel armor is completely different in style from the black iron giant of the Passed Princess.

With its verdant patterns and translucent material, this seems more like armor from a future era, making it hard to imagine it was created during the divine era war.

The materials used in Leviathan Empire's magic armor are like a big and rough military tool compared to these green armor pieces, which are like works of art.

The second Guardian of the Underground Cemetery, the ruler of the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, War Dancer, has returned.

"Thank you for your hard work, I need your power." The silver-haired figure looked at the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, who was proudly showing off its power, with gentle eyes.

The second curse mark on her snow-white hand was illuminated as this huge creature returned.

Along with that, the flow of magic in the whole Underground Cemetery became more active.

The remaining magic here is a heritage that has been stored from the divine era to the present, a resting place for all the golden ancient people.

The King of Undead, who rules over this place, sealed the Underground Cemetery with his own body as the core, not allowing anyone to disturb the rest of the deceased.

For this reason, he created six Guardians of the Underground Cemetery, the strongest war weapons that determined the fate of humanity.

"Everything shall obey your will, my king."

"I'm ready," said the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, curling up its body. There were no living creatures in the ocean of the Underground Cemetery, only the sea dragon had been sleeping here.

The long sleep had made the once lively dancer bored, even with bonfires and parties, her favorite things.

Now, she could finally step onto the battlefield again.

Let's dance again, with the most beautiful moves, bringing the deepest fear to our enemies.

Destroy them!

Crush them!

Defeat them!

Weakness is an unforgivable sin, only power can change destiny, and that's what the War Dancer pursues.

Being a subordinate of the king, fighting for the king, was her greatest obsession even after death. Unlike the innocent little princess, who seemed unaware that she had already scattered into fragments, she accepted the reality of her own death more than anyone else.

Because of how she died, it was much more tragic than the little princess who died from just being weak and sick.

She was drowned alive, thrown into the sea by those crazed mobs who lost their sanity due to the war. They kept throwing stones at her until she had no strength left to resurface and sank into the sea.

Struggling relentlessly to appear above the sea surface, only to be despairingly pushed down over and over again.

Before consciousness completely plunged into darkness, she begged for strength more than anyone else, desperately wanting to stay alive.

Unfortunately, no one came to save her until she sank into the depths of the sea in despair.

The helpless dancer who couldn't fight, the unrecognized princess, the captured songstress who could only sing songs, and the guardians of the Underground Cemetery, all met with tragic deaths while alive.
