Chapter 161 Mock Dungeon War (7)
Even the way dungeon core 627 looked at him would have been enough to kill him.
But no matter how they glared at him, it was a fact that Lin Fan had won the mock dungeon war.
On the other side, Haku had a bright smile when she greeted Lin Fan and then she kept looking at True Dragon Lord Astaroth with that bright smile. It was almost as if she was bragging like she had won the battle herself.
Even Chronos couldn\'t help revealing a faint smile after the battle was over.
After glaring at Lin Fan for a bit, True Dragon Lord Astaroth turned his attention to dungeon core 627. He looked at her with a look of blame and rage which caused a chill to run down her spine.
Her survival instincts kicked in and she quickly thought about the reports that her subordinates gave her after the war was over.
She was trying to find anything that would allow her to get out of this…
And then, she found it.
As everyone was prepared to wrap this matter up, dungeon core 627 suddenly raised her hand and said, "I have an objection!"
When her voice rang out through the hall, everyone turned to look at her.
Some of them looked at her in disdain, some of them sympathized with her, but most of them were looking at her like they were watching a funny play.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth took the lead and to everyone\'s surprise, he said, "This is not a place that you can play around in! Do you really think that you still have the right to say this after that embarrassing performance?" He raised his head back and flames appeared in his mouth as he said, "I should end you right here and now!"
But of course, he wouldn\'t actually do this since they were in front of all the dungeon cores and most importantly, they were in front of father.
Dungeon cores hurting each other was actually against the rules of this conference. Of course, that didn\'t mean that there haven\'t been cases of this in the past, but they were very rare and they were mostly covered up since they had special circumstances.
Dungeon core 627 shrank back when she saw her idol acting like this, but to her surprise, it was actually Haku who came to her rescue.
Haku took a step forward and raised a hand to stop True Dragon Lord Astaroth before saying to dungeon core 627, "Why don\'t you tell us what your objection is."
Dungeon core 627 was surprised to see Haku standing up for her and then there was a trace of admiration that appeared in those eyes.
She gave a grateful nod before saying, "I just want to say that their dungeon didn\'t have a way to the dungeon core, so their layout went against the rules! Since that\'s the case, I want to move for a redo!"
This was based on the reports that her subordinates had given her.
Plain and simple, no matter how they walked around and tried looking for Lin Fan\'s dungeon core, they weren\'t able to find it at all.
Since that was the case, she didn\'t believe that there was one in the first place. If that was true, then it was very reasonable to raise this objection and ask for a redo.
There were many dungeon cores that nodded in agreement to this since they hadn\'t been able to figure out where Lin Fan had hidden his dungeon core. Even though they had a free flying camera that was able to see through most of the battlefield, they still couldn\'t see where Lin Fan hid his dungeon core.
When True Dragon Lord Astaroth heard this, he immediately jumped onto it since this was the straw that he could grasp to not admit his defeat.
So True Dragon Lord Astaroth took dungeon core 627 by the shoulder again and said while looking at Lin Fan, "This objection is valid. Since the dungeon created by the newcomer is invalid, then we shall host a redo…"
But before he could finish, Lin Fan suddenly broke out in laughter.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan as he asked, "What\'s so funny?"
Lin Fan just calmly looked at him and said, "Who said that it\'s invalid?"
True Dragon Lord Astaroth narrowed his eyes even more and said, "We have reviewed the footage and have deemed it invalid since we cannot find your dungeon core. Do you have any proof that it isn\'t invalid?"
Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "Just because you\'re not smart enough to find it, does that mean it\'s invalid? I don\'t think so."
There was a trace of anger in True Dragon Lord Astaroth\'s eyes, but he suppressed that anger as he said, "Are you trying to vent your frustrations at being caught? If so, then that just proves our point even more."
Lin Fan shook his head like he was looking at an idiot before turning to Haku and pointed at the camera that she controlled as he said, "May I?"
Haku moved to the side and gave a gesture for him to do what he wanted.
Lin Fan walked over to the camera and took a moment to figure out the controls before sending that camera over to his dungeon.
In front of everyone, he revealed the true layout of his dungeon.
Dungeon core 627 finally realized why her subordinates reported that they couldn\'t leave the area they were in no matter how they walked. It was because they had been led around in a circle from the beginning by the moving walls that Lin Fan had created.
No matter how far they went, the walls would move along with them and they would be trapped in this one area between the walls…
She started having an idea of how Lin Fan had been able to trick her and hide his dungeon core. It was just too bad that this idea that she had was wrong…
True Dragon Lord Astaroth didn\'t give up as he said, "That still doesn\'t show how this dungeon isn\'t invalid. In fact, this just proves the invalidity of your dungeon since there\'s still no way to the dungeon core."
Lin Fan shook his head again before saying with a sigh, "You really can\'t stop putting your foot in your mouth, can you?"
True Dragon Lord Astaroth couldn\'t take being looked down on by this junior anymore and he exploded as he roared, "What did you say to me? Do you believe that I won\'t kill you right now!"
But of course, Lin Fan felt no fear since he could see Haku and Chronos moving towards him.
Even the other dungeon cores of the aggressive faction didn\'t move closer since they could see that the friendly and neutral factions were moving towards Lin Fan along with Haku and Chronos. They knew that they wouldn\'t be able to fight both of these factions alone, so they even shot looks to True Dragon Lord Astaroth for him to calm down.
Lin Fan knew that there was no going back, so he didn\'t hold back on abusing True Dragon Lord Astaroth.
Lin Fan just ignored this outburst and continued leading the camera into his dungeon.
To their surprise, he led the camera to a place that none of them expected.
He led the camera right into the pit spike trap.
As he did this, Lin Fan didn\'t forget to add, "There were quite a few of your subordinates that actually came close to my dungeon core. It\'s just a pity that none of them were able to survive long enough to reach it."
In front of everyone\'s shocked looks, he revealed a passage that was at the bottom of the pit spike trap.
This was a passage that was hidden among the spikes, but if one looked closely, they would still be able to find it. This wasn\'t considered going against the rules, but it came close to going against it.
Then as they went further into the passage, they found that there were many other traps that had been set up along the sides of the passage.
They couldn\'t help looking at Lin Fan with surprised looks as they never expected him to be able to set up all these traps in the short amount of time he had been given.
Of course, Lin Fan didn\'t reveal that most of these traps were formed by golems. He didn\'t even need to set up these traps, they were mostly set up by the golems themselves.
All he had to do was create the tunnel for them and they could just make the traps by themselves.
After leading them down the long tunnel filled with traps, they finally arrived in a room that was made purely of metal. This was the same metal that was used to create the golems.
Right in the center of that room was the temporary dungeon core that Lin Fan had been given.
Once they saw this, the friendly and neutral factions all revealed wide smiles while ugly looks appeared on the faces of the aggressive faction.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth\'s face looked like he had just eaten a bowl of flies.
After a long period of silence, True Dragon Lord Astaroth gave a cough before saying, "Even so…"
Before he could continue, there was a deep voice that came from behind him that cut him off.
"That\'s enough. The match has been decided and it\'s the newcomer\'s victory."
This voice was deep and definitive, as if no one could argue with it. But of course, no one would even want to argue with it.
As soon as that voice fell, everyone turned to look in the direction of this voice in shock. This was a voice that not a single one of them was unfamiliar with since it was the voice of their creator.
It was the sloppily dressed man who was sitting in the chair that had spoken at this moment, cutting True Dragon Lord Astaroth off.
Even though he had been cut off, he didn\'t dare say a single thing to refute it.
All True Dragon Lord Astaroth did was bow his head in the direction of the sloppily dressed man and say, "Yes, father. It is as you decree."
But of course, he didn\'t forget to shoot a glare in Lin Fan\'s direction.
If looks could kill…
