586 The Conspiracy and the Truth (1/2)
Dungeon Lord Alexandria didn't mind the harassment of the creatures from Eternal Kingdom.
Even though the creatures tried to invade the Dungeon Lord Main Hall under the order of Lord Sherlock, Alexandria had no intention of pursuing the matter. Instead, he sent them off politely.
He was nonchalant.
It was a peaceful day in Venice. However, the locals didn't know that a crisis had befallen them.
Black mist drifted from the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
As the mist spread out, the locals who were happily working collapsed to the ground.
Many of the creatures were familiar with this scene.
A year ago, the Ancient Gods army invaded Winterfell using the same method!
After corrupting the Dungeon Core, the entirety of Winterfell became a Stronghold of the Ancient Gods army.
Many creatures were nervous. Even the Venice guards rushed to find out what happened to the Dungeon Core.
But the mist was thick and potent. Before the guards had time to react, they collapsed to the ground.
Many of the locals sent messages requesting help from the Merchant Alliance. However, the Merchant Alliance didn't receive the messages. This was another problem.
Inside the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, Alexandria whistled while he walked in the black mist. He wasn't panicking. Instead, he looked joyful.
Behind Alexandria was a Sludge Monster butler and an armored Gnome.
The armored Gnome looked very noble. Only a Judge of the Northern Underworld would wear such armor.
The Sludge Monster said to Alexandria, ”Lord Alexandria, our plan is proceeding very smoothly. You've made use of Eternal Kingdom to diminish the power of Eternal Fire. You've also dealt with Devil King Mammon, who was competing with you. Nobody can stop us now!”
”It's a pity. That fool Lucifer thought that his enemy was Lord Sherlock. I was thinking of fighting against Lucifer,” the Judge of the Northern Underworld said.
Alexandria didn't respond to him. He walked out of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall before he stopped.
Before him, there was a group of Goblins, Gnomes, and Orcs who had green symbols above their heads.
”How can it be? Why aren't they affected?”
The Sludge Monster looked in surprise at the large gathering of creatures.
They were gamers of Eternal Kingdom.
The noble Gnome unsheathed his weapon.
Only Alexandria was feeling relaxed. He was confident of victory.
There was a commotion in the group, and the gamers made way for a tall figure to come forward.
Besides the gamers, there was nobody else following the figure.
That figure was the superior Devil, Sherlock.
”I had a feeling about you, but I'm still surprised to see you here, Lord Onionhead,” Sherlock said to the Gnome wearing the Judge's armor.
Judge Onionhead used to be the Dungeon Lord of Winterfell.
Alexandria clapped his hands and smiled as he said, ”You're indeed capable, Lord Sherlock.”
