The Almighty Ring

lerics to resurrect them, they started reprimanding Leisure Monkey in the group channel.

After a few minutes, all of the Bandits were resurrected.
They then resumed their exploration.

Perhaps, the collapsed ceiling was the last of the defensive traps.
After the Bandits’ resurrection, none of them encountered any further traps.

“Is it finally over?” Jiang Fei let out a sigh of relief.
The less than one thousand meter journey took them more than three hours to complete.

Although the road ahead was still a long winding path, there were no longer any traps in their way.
Jiang Fei and the rest moved at a much faster pace.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Fei and the group finally came out of the pathway and into a broad open space.

“D*mn! This isn’t the Underground World! It’s not any different from the world on the surface!” Billy Boy exclaimed as he looked around.

Jiang Fei and the rest were located in a huge empty space.
There did not seem to be any ending to the space around them.
While there was still a ceiling, it was hundreds of meters above them.
There were countless blue crystals attached to the ceiling which refracted light that lit up the entire space.

Not only was the space wide, there were also plants and animals on the ground.
Although the species of these plants and animals were different from those on the surface, it made the place seem much more lively.

“Bandits, split up!” Billy Boy ordered.
As they were no longer in a narrow space, they needed to widen their search zone.
Therefore, the Bandits’ job had become much more difficult.

After much walking, Jiang Fei and the rest finally discovered something new after half an hour.

“Guild master, there is a mysterious old man here!” One of the Bandits shouted out in the group channel.

“Someone’s here?!” Jiang Fei was stunned.
He then became overjoyed.
They had finally found someone alive.
This old man must be the person in charge of their quest’s continuation.

Very soon, Jiang Fei and the rest arrived before the old man.

Lost Old Man (Human Race, Elite)

Level: 70

Health Points: 100%

Remark: A Disguised Spectral Investigator.

Although he appeared to be a mysterious old man to the others and seemed to be mumbling something which they could not understand, the old man did not respond even though the Bandit from before tried to speak to him.

However, due to the mysterious ring, Jiang Fei was able to uncover the old man’s true identity.

“Akatziris, talk to him!” Although Jiang Fei held a high position in the Nephilim race, the fellow before him was only a Spectral Investigator.
Although they both belonged to the Dark Faction, the difference in their levels was too great.
Therefore, the Spectre would not recognize Jiang Fei even if he approached him.

However, things had gotten easier with Akatziris around.
Even if the Spectral Investigator could not identify Akatziris as the Nephilim Race’s Third Princess, Akatziris’ Nephilim race would be sufficient.

“Spectre! Are you in charge of receiving us here?” Akatziris asked the old man.

“Ahh?!” The old man was stunned when he realized his identity had been revealed.
He very quickly confirmed Akatziris status as a Nephilim.

“Greetings, Nephilim master! I am the Demon Flame Fortress’ Lieutenant Scout of the Fourth Army!” The old man immediately stopped his mysterious act.
He instantly tore away the human skin he wore as a disguise to reveal his own decaying body.

“Alright! What’s the continuation of our quest?” Akatziris did not greet him in return.
She merely waved her hand.
The Nephilims held a very high rank in the Dark Faction after all and were way above the Spectres.
