Under Serena's questioning gaze, Fingel explained his guess in detail.

"Yorshka said that Ornstein left Anor Londo to search for her other brother, and therefore did not fight alongside Sulyvahn and the others when they invaded the Leyndell."

"You mean, the person Ornstein went to pursue was the Sun's Eldest Son?"

Serena said, "Of course I've thought about that, but there's no evidence that Yorshka only has two brothers, the Sun's Eldest Son and Gwyndolin. What if there are others?"

Even now, Fingel still finds it hard to accept people using masculine terms to refer to Gwyndolin. He forced a smile and said:

"Of course I have even stronger evidence. Do you know about the Oath of Sunlight and Flame Grant Me Strength?"

"The ancient magic that appeared in the Zane Dungeon? That's quite popular, I know! I get what you mean!"

Serena suddenly understood what the other person meant.

The Zane Dungeon produces magic pages that allow people to quickly learn magic. When people use these magic pages, a brief image corresponding to that magic will appear in their minds.

Although most of the time it's just a magician demonstrating the spell, sometimes there are surprising scenes, such as the Oath of Sunlight and Flame Grant Me Strength, which shows three powerful figures raising their weapons together to make an oath, giving it a very epic feel.

The three were the Sun's Eldest Son, Ornstein, and the Dragon Hunting Swordsman.

The first time she saw Ornstein in person through film was in The Oath of Sunlight and Flame Grant Me Strength; before that, she had only seen portraits drawn by others.

The Oath of Sunlight and Flame Grant Me Strength indicates that the Sun's Eldest Son and Ornstein have a deep friendship, so the only person Ornstein can be pursuing is him!

Furthermore, Hawkwood's statement that the Nameless King residing in seclusion at Archdragon Peak is very likely the Sun's Eldest Son is also mentioned.

In that instant, having figured everything out, Serena stood at attention and said with great enthusiasm:

"Let's go, we must hurry and reach the Archdragon Peak!"

Hope is the greatest driving force!

"What would it be like to actually meet Ornstein here? I hope there won't be any more fighting. I really want to have a normal conversation with him."

Serena secretly hoped for it, after all, no one wants to meet their idol in a hostile situation.

Seeing that his persuasion dice had rolled a big success, Fingel smiled and went to prepare the magical gadgets he would use next.

Essentially, he was having Aleya cultivate poisonous plants on the spot and concoct them into a highly toxic potion. Watching her sow seeds in the open space, Fingel suddenly thought of someone and sighed:

"I should have asked Leon how his Dung Pie was made."

If there are items with the same effect but different origins, he prefers to use those produced by Sion.

It wasn't that he blindly worshipped the items produced in the Zane Dungeon, but rather that using dungeon-produced items within the dungeon was more stable. What if external items didn't work well on the monsters in the dungeon? At least Sien wouldn't allow his items to fail in his own dungeon.

Soon after, Aleya handed over all the prepared potions to everyone, as well as various props coated with potions, all of which were intended to target Havel Warrior.

The fact that everyone was preparing as if they were challenging Elite Monsters indirectly demonstrated the opponent's strength.

Fingel even had a brief moment to seriously consider whether to imitate Havel Warrior's attire and become a heavily armored Warrior himself, but he quickly put the idea out of his mind, as it didn't fit his fighting style.

This is the impact that the strong can have.

Next to the campfire where they rested was the second-floor room where the snake-man summoner was located. This time, Matilda went in first, and the spirit Dragon Blood Knight immediately appeared slowly not far away.

Fingel took a deep breath, and the moment Matilda stepped into the room and woke the snake-man summoner, he rushed over like lightning and attacked her with lightning speed.

Sure enough, the snake-man was still in the same spot where it had been, dancing and summoning the Dragon Blood Knight. It only reacted when Fingel's blade was about to strike its neck!

"Rub--"

With a flash of light, the snake-man fell to the ground and turned to ashes, while the Havel Warrior just poked his head out.

Once a summoner dies, the summoning circle immediately collapses, and the summoner will not reappear.

Their target this time was the Havel Warrior on the mountaintop, the one summoned by the snake-man. They had managed to avoid him, and now they had succeeded.

Every adventurer who made a name for themselves in the dungeons possessed at least a decent memory. They followed the path they had taken, used invisibility magic to evade the dragons that would launch surprise attacks along the way, and memorized a few possible forks in the road before finally climbing the mountain and finding the Havel Warrior again.

At this moment, the other party was still standing in front of the corpse of a flying dragon, seemingly lost in thought, just as they had been when they first met.

Fingel was also quite curious about the origins of Havel Warrior.

This man exuded a chilling aura, his Great Dragon Tooth looked extraordinary, and he was standing in front of a dragon he had killed.

This is completely different from the Dragon Man meditating atop the Archdragon Peak. The Dragon Man seem to be devoutly seeking the Way of the Ancient Dragon, while the Havel Warrior seem to have come specifically to slay dragons.

If they really came to slay the dragon...

Fingel put down the poisonous explosive fruit he was about to throw as a sneak attack. Amidst his companions' surprised gazes, he tentatively stepped forward and said:

"We're here to slay dragons. Are you one of us?"

He was actually trying to communicate with Havel Warrior!

The Havel Warrior glanced back at him, but instead of attacking immediately, he slowly walked over.

Could it be that there's a chance?

Fingel was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally figured out the underlying patterns of this underground city, and now he could be considered to have thoroughly understood Sain!

But why did he just walk towards me without saying a word?

The next second, Havel Warrior seemed relatively mild-mannered, suddenly raised his Great Dragon Tooth Fang and hurled it at Fingel. He was startled, but luckily he was on guard and jumped back to avoid the attack.

"Boom!"

The ground was smashed and cracked, indicating that his attempt to use talk therapy to turn enemies into friends had failed miserably, and he had no choice but to fight.

At the same time, Gong Qiying recorded Fingel's behavior.

"There are also adventurers who try to turn enemies into friends with words. I need to make a good note of this; it might come in handy later."

While he was taking notes, Hasawi Squad was already working to take advantage of the pre-arranged opportunity to target Havel Warrior.

To put it simply, it's about constantly distracting Havel Warrior, then dumping all the poison on him at once, slowly wearing down his life force, and if there's an opportunity, you can slash him once or twice to speed up the process.

"Bang! Bang!"

The highly poisonous explosive fruit slammed into Havel Warrior's body, and the deadly purple liquid flowed uncontrollably through the gaps in his armor, staining Havel Warrior a deep purple.

The three Hasawi Squad took turns drawing the enemy's attention, and the plan went smoothly at first.

However, Havel Warrior did something unexpected.

He took out a Purple Moss Ball that could detoxify and ate it!

In that instant, he seemed to be purified; the deadly poison in his body vanished without a trace. Apart from the purple liquid staining his armor, there was no sign of Fingel and the others' struggle.

"He can actually use props?!"

This really angered people, since people are all hypocritical.

They changed tactics. Originally, the three of them planned to walk around the Havel Warrior in this not-so-large area, but since the opponent was carrying an antidote, they could not follow the original plan. They had to change their fighting style to a storm so that the opponent would not have time to use any items!

"Damn it, what if he still has the Element Bottle?"

"Um, I have this here, it should be useful."

Serena, who had been hiding behind the dragon's corpse watching, threw something round over, and Fingel jumped up and caught it.

[Undead Hunter Charm]

[An item used to hunt undead. Undead hit by the amulet will be unable to regenerate through elements for a certain period of time.]

[This is the legacy of the Lloyd Knight once led the hunt for the undead. Lloyd, the chief god of the White Church, is long gone, but the hunt for the undead has not ceased. This item merely seals the undead's regenerative abilities, allowing them to fight fair and square.]

"You even brought such rare items with you?"

He exclaimed in surprise and immediately threw the amulet at the Havel Warrior, effectively blocking the latter's ability to use the Element Bottle.

He thought to himself that he must get Hawkwood Painting World when he has the chance.

The battle continues.

Hearing the sounds of battle behind her, Serena curled up behind the dragon, cupped her face in her hands, and stared at the sky, lost in thought.

She had a vague feeling that the day was almost over and the dungeon was about to close.

Today feels like a dream.

The thunderous roar of the Great Dragon Tooth smashing into the ground continued, but it couldn't shake the emotions in her heart.

After today, I'll be back in the Royal Palace. I wonder if I'll ever be able to come out like this again. And once I become Queen, it will be even less likely that I'll be able to enter the dungeon.

Both Iliphis and Aoluo gave her a feeling of disgust, yet she was controlled by these two, and it was impossible for her to even secretly develop her own power.

The thought of a miserable life that would last forever made her want to throw away the Teleportation Crystal and die in the dungeon.

"But that won't do. If I die here, it will cause Fingel and the others to be blamed. Sigh."

The battle behind him intensified, and he could feel the strength of Havel Warrior gradually weakening, as if the dawn of victory was just around the corner.

Just then, Serena suddenly saw a light, right under the wings of the dragon's corpse.

She climbed over and took a look, and her expression immediately became quite interesting.

[Summon Hawkwood, the assistant?]

"Why did you hide your summoning talisman in such a concealed place?!"

Her face clearly showed she wanted to complain, but in order to help Fingel and the others, she obediently chose to summon, watching Hawkwood's figure slowly emerge.

However.

The moment Hawkwood appeared, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground could be heard not far away.

Looking back, the Havel Warrior had fallen to the ground and turned to ashes, leaving behind two points of light.

Serena's lips twitched twice, and she suddenly felt that her act of summoning Hawkwood was superfluous.

"It's really not easy."

Fingel took the Healing Potion from Aleya and poured it on his almost smashed arm, his face reflecting the exhilaration of defeating a powerful enemy.

Matilda went to clean up the battlefield and picked up two points of light.

[Great Dragon Tooth]

[Weapon Skill: Endurance]

A hammer that uses an ancient dragon's tooth as a weapon will never break.

[It can be used together with the Greatshield Solid Stone as a relic of the legendary hero "Solid Stone" Havel, granting the holder resistance to magic and fire.]

The other one is the [Solid Stone Greatshield].

"How... how are we supposed to take these back?" Matilda was daunted just looking at the two things.

"This is proof that we defeated a powerful enemy." Fingel clenched his fist. "I'll carry them back, even if I have to carry them myself!"

Aleya waved her arms as if cheering for Fingel.

"Slap slap slap"

Applause came from the side, and people turned around to see Hawkwood and Serena following behind him.

"Congratulations on your victory over Havel Warrior. You have already demonstrated sufficient strength."

Hawkwood stopped clapping, a smile playing on his lips—the first time anyone had seen such an expression of approval on his face.

"You are now qualified to join me in facing the final trial."
