327 Lancelots Speculation (1/2)
When the cold Mana flowed over his body, Lancelot was in the dim Underworld tunnel.
The walls were gray, and numerous glimmering vines twirled with each other, with some even seen moving slowly.
These incandescent plants provided luminance to the dark Underworld.
It was Lancelot's first time in the Underworld. After Michelangelo was defeated by the Surface World and the Heavenly Kingdom, the Underworld disappeared from view. He hadn't heard of any entrance to the Underworld being opened.

Wait, what was that?
Lancelot discovered footprints in the area where the gamers were working hard. Those footprints weren't from Humans, Fairies, or Elves, as they were too big.
Lancelot walked over and knelt down, examining the footprints that looked like those of huge creatures. Could they be the creatures that transported the materials? He discovered lumps of warm mass and frowned as he sniffed. It had the smell of strawberries, and he used his metal glove to poke it…
