Chapter 550 – Dungeon Siege (3)

TA-TA-TA-TA

The six arms of Wang Yun turned into six machine guns, unleashing hell.

Brocell narrowed his eyes and activated his domain power. The dungeon trembled and the air in front of Brocell was distorted.

As if Brocell were the protagonist of Matrix, the bullets of Wang Yun suddenly stopped traveling forward. They were caught by an invisible force.

Wang Yun raised his eyebrows, "Interesting. I always wondered what would have happened had I fought against Neo with my new power."

"Dear customer, don't worry. Even if a professional marine suddenly gets a superpower, he will still be no match against the chosen one."

"True… if THAT chosen is the REAL Neo. But he's definitely not you!"

Wang Yun's pupils shone in red light, and his domain power was activated. Both domains of Wang Yun and Brocell overlapped each other.

The dungeon trembled again. Yet, both men stood still.

BOOM BOOM

Despite standing still, the bricks in the wall, the stones on the floor, and the random objects in the dungeon exploded randomly. The air between them was also twisted and distorted as Wang Yun and Brocell were fighting using only their domain.

Brocell's Demon King Dungeon Domain VS Wang Yun's Shadow Overlord Domain

Brocell's domain range was his entire dungeon. As long as his enemies were within his domain, he could directly corrupt their minds and turn his enemies into friendly monsters of the dungeon. Moreover, he could command the dungeon to spawn traps, monsters, or golems anywhere at any moment!

Meanwhile, the dark environment of Brocell's dungeon worked against him. Wang Yun could manipulate every corner of the dungeon with his shadow manipulation. As such, Brocell couldn't fully utilize his dungeon while the jamming domain of Wang Yun was active.

Also, Brocell couldn't brainwash Wang Yun for an unknown reason. His mental strength was too strong for a transmigrator.

Sweat covered both men's faces, and blood began to drop from their nostrils. The shaking got more intense.

The staring contest seemed to be at a stalemate until Brocell heard the report from Pixie, aka his android operator.

'Commander, the strange metal root is expanding and increasing the temperature of the dungeon. I also detect several life form signatures within the root.'

"Tsk!"

The slight distraction caused Brocell's concentration to be broken, and Wang Yun's domain stole a portion of the dungeon. His shadow enveloped the area, where his soldiers had been isolated. Then, the dungeon transformed, opening a huge hole for the soldiers to retreat.

Moreover, a new passageway had been created, connecting the ant hive with the 400th floor!

"Game over, son," Wang Yun smirked.

But Brocell sneered and snapped his fingers, "Too soon, soldier."

BOOM

A hooded-cloak knight with shining wings suddenly blasted through several layers of ceilings and tackled Wang Yun from below. It pushed the former marine upward, sending him to the higher levels.

Wang Yun widened his eyes as he couldn't detect this thing with his shadow domain. It had no life signature or soul!

He glared at the thing that caught him. It wore silver plate armor and a hooded cloak. However, its physical skin was shrouded in black gas, and his fireball-like eyes were the only thing that Wang Yun could see inside the hoodie.

Wang Yun narrowed his eyes as he finally identified his new opponent's cultivation base. It was definitely stronger than ordinary immortals as Wang Yun sensed profound energy that was stronger than Soul Qi.

Before Wang Yun was pushed out to the surface, his body transformed into black mist. He fled into the shadow of a torchlight.

The unknown archangel stopped blasting through the ceiling. It turned around, searching for the intruder.

Unfortunately, it couldn't sense Wang Yun anywhere.

Without a target, it stopped moving. However, the archangel robot turned toward the massive metal root, which was expanding and crushing several passageways in the dungeon at a rapid rate.

"Consume any metal or material in the dungeon to expand. Keep going."

Although Guo Jia couldn't see anything in the dungeon or what Miaomiao had been doing, he continued giving orders and asking for feedback periodically.

'Ten kilometers deep, a hundred kilometers in diameter.'

"Dig until you reach the core of this planet."

'You're insane, Guo Jia! I might die!'

"Don't worry. You won't. Actually, you will be the first to sense the core of our planet when you are close enough. Also, whenever one of the branches reaches the end of the dungeon territory, give me the report."

While ordering Miaomiao around, Guo Jia sat down drew a rough 2D image on the ground. He drew a reverse triangle with several hairs to the side.

'Fine… 11 deep, 105 diameter… 12 deep, 110 diameter… 15 deep, whoops, I've found a dead-end southeast of here.'

"Transmit the image of what you sense or see. I want to see the big picture."

'Here.'

Guo Jia closed his eyes as Miaomiao transferred his thought to him. The 3D image of what Miaomiao had been thinking appeared in the strategist's mind.

This was the perk of being Miaomiao's familiar. They could share thoughts and senses.

After obtaining the crucial information, Guo Jia opened his eyes and began drawing a new picture. Instead of drawing another reverse triangle, he created a top-down map and a large circle at the center.

The circle represented the metal root while the other things were dungeon rooms.

"From the southeast dead-end, expand west and north until there is nothing to be detected."

'Shouldn't we spread out from the center to cause more chaos?'

"No. We will create a safe area underground, so our allies from the south can have a place to retreat and rest. Once we can confirm that no enemy remains on the south, the southeast, and the east, this battle will be ours!"

'Hoh? Then, what about the flame metal and the sandworms? What are they for?'

"You will know when we need to use them. Also, I want more feedback. You have been neglecting your duties for one minute."

'Alright! Alright! I'll keep sharing my senses to you.'

Guo Jia closed his eyes and waited for Miaomiao's feedback.

For an hour, Miaomiao's metal branches lengthened and reached everywhere in the southeast area of the dungeon. He ignored all levels, traps, golems, and random monsters, but he burned everything that the branches touched.

Then, Miaomiao finally understood why Guo Jia wanted him to use fire.

Miaomiao spotted an armory room in the depth of the dungeon. The hot metal accidentally stabbed into a crate of explosives.

And everything in the radius of a kilometer erupted.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

At least 20 floors underground were destroyed. Even a portion of the metal branches was damaged.

'I see. So this is why…'

Guo Jia coughed, "Keep going, my lord. Destroy every weaponry or explosive supply you can find. We know that Brocell uses guns, so we can't leave anything behind for his army to use!"

'Okay!'

…

Miaomiao and several sandworms, who were currently coiling inside the hot cone of the gigantic root, were enjoying the sauna.

He hummed and moved several hundred small teeth in his mouth like a grinder, getting used to the body.

But as Miaomiao was about to conquer the southeast area as Guo Jia had ordered him to, the sense of déjà vu hit him.

He knew something, but he couldn't explain. It felt like he yearned for that thing.

Miaomiao stopped sending feedback to Guo Jia and turned toward the west.

BOOM

Someone just crushed the protection spikes that Miaomiao had set up to stabilize his metal cone. The force behind the strike just now didn't belong to the mortal realm.

"Guo Jia, they have an immortal among their ranks!"

Miaomiao bellowed and prepared to get out of the root to fight.

'Don't move. Focus on creating barriers or shields to endure their counterattacks. As long as you can keep that immortal at bay, we'll win.'

"You said that we'll win if we do this or do that, but I still don't understand why I'm here!"

'Stay put and believe in me.'

"…"

Miaomiao took a deep breath and injected metal element Qi into the root. While he was at it, he scanned for the attacker's power and karma strings.

BOOM

Again, the strike almost destroyed the metal root. It could even overpower Nero's metal.

Something was wrong. Miaomiao transformed his head into a human head.

As soon as he did that, his right eyebrows twitched like crazy.

Miaomiao reverted back to his sandworm form. He immediately hid his aura and blended with the other sandworms while he created new shields and barriers to protect the root.

He had seen the attacker's appearance, and he was shocked.

"HOW THE FUCK IS THAT GUY HERE?!"
