Chapter 11 Abandoned Ruins

The strong smell of blood spreads through the seawater.
Faced with the relentless Soren, the Son of Dagon clearly began to panic. As a descendant of the Obsidian Demon, the Son of Dagon’s most powerful weapon is its own body, but now, its body is powerless against Soren’s artifact, leaving the Son of Dagon to hope for its innate Obsidian Demon abilities.
Accompanied by a sharp screech, a powerful mental shockwave surged towards Soren.
He frowned slightly and waved his hand, summoning a divine power barrier in front of him. The seawater began to violently ripple, and the Son of Dagon’s mental shock was unable to shake Soren’s divine shield. In the next moment, Soren darted forth, a silvery streak cutting through the calm sea floor, launching a frontal assault on the Son of Dagon and directly cleaving through all its tentacles with his immense divine power before stabbing his blade into the Son of Dagon’s head.
A line of data appeared before him:
“Killed [Son of Dagon]!”
“Extracting target’s soul energy!… You have gained 3,650,000 points of killing experience!…”
“Target possesses divine power!”
“Extracting target’s divine power!… You have gained 8 points of divinity value!…”
…………
A bit of divine radiance merged into Soren’s body.
The Son of Dagon’s divinity was considerable, but such an existence, while powerful, had no divine rank value whatsoever. What Soren needed most right now was not divinity, but divine rank value that could further stabilize his strength.
In contrast to the increasingly common divinity value, divine rank value could only be found on special enemies!
Currently, Soren’s divinity value had reached 230 points, more than double the divine rank value. For Soren, leveling up to [Superior Divinity] was not a difficulty, but gathering enough divine rank value to level up to [Superior Divinity Rank] was very challenging.
He must continue to slay gods!
Moreover, they had to be deities with medium divine power at least, otherwise, he would have to rely on sheer numbers to compensate.
Thud!
Giant tentacles with a diameter of over three meters fell helplessly to the sea floor, and the foul demon blood seeped from the Son of Dagon’s corpse, this blood carrying a fierce corrosive quality that caused nearby sea floor plants to wither.
——”Dissipate!”
——”Purify!”
A golden divine radiance materialized in Soren’s palm, and the evil force contaminating the seawater was purified by him.
The Son of Dagon occupied the entrance of the Magic Suppression Prison; with its enormous body, it was difficult to enter, so it resided in the area with the strongest energy radiation. Soren frowned as he stared at the massive corpse in front of him, then cast a spell to forcibly shift it aside, revealing a deep entrance. This should be an important stronghold of the Magic Suppression Prison, as Soren sensed a dense radiation of energy, likely similar to the intensity detected when he discovered the [Elemental Furnace] last time.
“Master!”
The High Priest’s figure also appeared behind Soren; her eyes were filled with awe because the Son of Dagon, who had blocked their group, was effortlessly killed by Soren.
Soren glanced back at her, then his gaze swept over the other team members, instructing, “You arrange for others to cut up the Son of Dagon’s corpse and bring it up.”
“Gloria and Corinna’s research should find it useful.”
“High Priest.”
“Milan.”
“Giant.”
“You three come with me into the Magic Suppression Prison.”
The Son of Dagon weighed over hundreds of tons; it wouldn’t be easy to move it, and Soren only took four people into the Magic Suppression Prison because only their strength could reliably handle the legendary level. It was unknown what other monsters lurked inside the Magic Suppression Prison; for anyone below legendary strength to enter would be tantamount to seeking death.
“Yes!”
The High Priest quickly took command to arrange for others to cut and transport the Son of Dagon’s corpse. The Son of Dagon killed by Soren matched the strength of a Lesser Demon Lord and was quite similar to his avatar Demon Soren, carrying many rare treasures.
Light Spell.
A glimmer appeared in Soren’s palm, and as the group entered the Magic Suppression Prison, everything before him became clearer.
As an underground ruin submerged in the sea, the interior of the Magic Suppression Prison was severely damaged; Soren could see many dilapidated structures, most of which had collapsed.
They had only advanced a few hundred meters when they were blocked by a collapsed wall.
——”Fossils to mud!”
Soren waved his hand to cast a spell, and then gently touched the wall, transforming it into soil that scattered away.
A massive light purple crystal appeared before him.
Soren had seen such crystals before in the ruins of the Golem War; he knew he had entered the interior of the Magic Suppression Prison. Rooms began to appear before him, filled with many glass chambers, over ninety percent of which were damaged, alongside incomplete bookshelves where most of the books had already vanished.
Seawater permeated the entire Magic Suppression Prison, and there was almost nothing intact to be seen.
“Eh?!”
As Soren wandered through several rooms, he suddenly seemed to sense something and headed toward one of the halls.
A gigantic metal structure emerged before him.
“Elemental Furnace?”
“No, wait!”
Soren cast a surprised glance, murmuring, “This doesn’t look like an Elemental Furnace! The energy radiation is entirely emanating from it!”
“This is not an Elemental Furnace!”
“It seems to be something like the [Elemental Fission] device!”
Soren’s research in alchemy was not deep enough; this thing must be transported back to Modo City for Gloria to study.
“Alarm!”
“Alarm!”
“Intruder detected!”
“Activate the Arcane Guardian! Eliminate the intruder!”
A sharp metallic sound rang out, and then a large door opened. Soren almost instantly entered a combat stance, but after waiting for a while, he still did not see the figure of the [Arcane Guardian] appear.
Soren thought for a moment and cautiously approached the door.
Then, he saw a puppet golem buried for an unknown amount of time in the ground, its body appearing with a red arcane glow, though most of its form had already shattered.
This was the sea floor, not land; very few things in the entire Magic Suppression Prison could still operate normally.
“Where’s the Maze?”
Soren walked around the ruins, frowning, “Under normal circumstances, a place like the Magic Suppression Prison must have a Maze present! So where is the Maze’s core?”
“Is it because it’s not activated that I can’t find it?”
Soren checked room after room, spotting many strange devices, but most had already failed.
He encountered a few guardians that could still operate along the way, but they were easily dealt with. After confirming that there were no dangerous enemies in the entire underground ruins, Soren began to prepare to return to Pirate Island. A teleportation array would soon be established here, and then manpower and resources from Modo City would be invested. Most of the devices in the Magic Suppression Prison needed to be transported back to Modo City, and it was likely only the Fallen Witch and Gloria could discern those related to the operation of the Maze.
