Shota suppressed the strong corruption energy seeping from a hole, discovering it led to a tunnel. After clearing the tunnel with Joan's flames, Shota entered and was immediately attacked by a mysterious sword. Recognizing the sword's style from his past life, he suspected divine intervention or a sealed entity from the war of the gods. He then led his companions down the tunnel in the direction the sword originated.

"Is that wind?"

I didn’t say anything when I felt it, but I wasn’t the only one that felt it.

After all, it wasn’t a small breeze that just blew past us.

When this gust suddenly hit us, it really was hard for the others to ignore this.

But since we were under the ground, it wasn’t as if there should have been anything like wind that blew through this tunnel.

If wind was blowing through this tunnel, it meant that there was some kind of exit that led outside. However, it didn’t seem like this tunnel was going up at all.

As we followed the tunnel, we could even tell that it was slightly slanted down as if it was leading deeper into the ground.

At the same time, we never saw anything that could have led to the surface or provided light. With how dark it was, we had no choice but to use our magic lights to even light up the way.

So it didn’t make any sense that there would be wind in this place.

But that wasn’t the strangest thing.

As we kept moving, we could tell that this tunnel was lighting up and slowly we were able to see things better.

Whatever was in front of us had wind and light, so it really felt as if this tunnel was leading us out somewhere.

It was just that we were certain that it wasn’t any place that we were familiar with since it was impossible for this tunnel to lead above ground. That was unless it was a sudden straight shot to the surface, but that didn’t seem possible either.

If there really was something like this, then someone would have noticed it already.

At the same time, there would have been a bunch of corruption energy that would have appeared on the surface.

In the end, we found that it was as we expected.

There was an entire different world that was at the end of this tunnel.

It was just that this was a world that was completely different from any that we’ve seen so far.

It wasn’t as if this world wasn’t populated, it was that the population of this underground space seemed like they had a completely different culture.

To the people of this magical fantasy world, it could even be said that they were a completely different race from them. Though to me, it could be said that this was a culture that I was more familiar with.

"What are those people standing on?"

That was the first thing that they pointed out the moment that we came out of the cave.

It wasn’t strange that this was the case since this was something that had never been done in this magical fantasy world. But in the case of the eastern fantasy world, this was something that was quite common.

"Watch out!"

It didn’t seem like we were that hidden and it didn’t take long for the people on the flying swords to find us.

In fact, the way that they had been flying around was almost as if they had been patrolling this area in the first place. It was as if they had been looking for something that had been here.

Which was why the moment that they did find us, they released their swords.

Seeing the swords flying at us, the others were at a bit of a loss as to what to do.

This was their first time seeing this kind of technique, so they didn’t know what they could do about it.

Which was why I was the one that raised the barrier that blocked the swords.

When the swords made contact with my barrier, I immediately figured out that these swords were similar to the one that I had blocked previously. Which meant that the one that had come flying at me when I jumped into the tunnel came from the same source.

But if that was the case, it meant that these sword cultivators were the ones that had pushed out the corruption energy.

I was certain of this because even now, I could sense the corruption energy that lingered around us. I could sense that there were traces of the corruption energy that were still found in this underground world.

"What did they use to influence the corruption energy?"

However, this wasn’t actually the time to think about this.

Instead, it was better to focus on the sword cultivators that were currently attacking us.

Since the barrier blocked the swords, it wasn’t as if the sword cultivators were able to do anything with this first attack. It was just that this wasn’t the only thing that they could do.

"Sword energy."

The moment that I saw the glow that came from the swords that they were holding, I already knew what it was that they were planning to do. However, it wasn’t as if I was going to give them the chance to do anything to us.

With a single wave of my hand, there was an invisible wall that appeared around the sword cultivators and closed around them.

They could sense that something had appeared around them and they slashed out at it, but the sword energy shattered when it hit the wall. It didn’t matter how they slashed their swords, it couldn’t stop the invisible wall from closing around them and trapping them.

It was just that once this happened, there were more sword cultivators that appeared.

These seemed to be the reinforcements for these sword cultivators that I had captured.

But at the same time, I could sense the aura that came from the center of this group of reinforcements.

Whoever this was, they were strong.

They were most likely one of the elders of whatever sect these sword cultivators belonged to.

"I wish to talk. I don’t want to fight."

Once again, I cut them off before they were able to release their attacks.

Though I didn’t know if they would even understand what I was saying.
