There wasn't an opening but the name, in the end, made Kieran raise a puzzled brow .
Mordin?
Mordin!
There were a lot of people with the name Mordin in the dungeon world but there was only one Mordin that could be involved in such a high-level battle in Kieran's mind .
The master sculptor from the papal age 600 hundred years ago, the Mordin!
Kieran never believed in coincidences .
The moment he stepped into this dungeon world, he was faintly connected to Mordin's sculptures .
Kieran was suspecting, other than the visible opponents, was there another manipulator behind the scenes?
Even with the effects of [Lucky Card], the dungeon before him progressed a little too smoothly .
If a single [Lucky Card] was able to achieve this effect, Kieran believed the prayer technique would have changed it all . But the fact was, even prayers had limits, a lot of limits, any slight misstep would cause one to fall short and fail miserably .
"So this is all your set up? Just for a single rescue? Or… you are being used as well?"
Kieran scowled hard as he read through the two lines of words at the bottom of [Hell Breath] . He couldn't verify the validity of it, especially when [Hell Breath] itself didn't undergo any changes .
Though he knew one thing in his heart: never blindly believe what the eyes see .
The eyes will deceive the mind, especially under another's meticulous arrangements .
"The setups and arrangements from 600 years ago?"
"Next time . . . I'll be looking forward to it next time . "
Kieran muttered to himself softly .
His figure vanished amongst his mutters because the duration was up .
. . .

. . .
The ratings appeared line after line when Kieran returned to 13th Wallway in the big city .
Kieran wasn't surprised by the low rating of ZZZ .
According to his plan, he would have acquired the ideal rating that he was after but he did not expect that Grudge Dragon Krelin was a key character, thus expediting the dungeon main mission .
Kieran shrugged and couldn't do anything about it .
He understood he was just a player with transcendent power in dungeon worlds, not an omniscient God .
However, the lower rating reward didn't mean he didn't have others to compensate .
[Winchester Hunting Rifle], [Strange Little Finger], [Thousand Face], plus the fourth, fifth, seventh Mordin's sculpture and last but not least, [Hell Breath], was the most obvious reward of all .
As for the least obvious ones, it was more than he could count .
At least Kieran wasn't a blind man in the background of [Hero and Villain] anymore .
"Hero and Villain? What a confusing name . "
Kieran was recalling the demonic energy that was hiding under the normal city, recalling the energy that Grudge Dragon possessed and the filler illusions that he saw . Finally, the insanely strong willpower within that bloody vortex, plus the few words about that "place" that Grudge Dragon and Death Knell spoke off, Kieran already has some guesses .
"A terrifying world hiding in the dark!"
Kieran took a deep breath and shook his head rapidly to adjust his emotions .
The world that hid under the normal world was no doubt scary but that was a matter for future him; he still had enough time to prepare .
However, something else before him couldn't wait anymore .
[City of Fiends II: Perforation Sting is more vicious than rumored . You who accidentally messed up their plans have been viewed as a hostile and an obstacle…]
[Main mission: Starts when enters the dungeon]
"Perforation Sting!"
Kieran glanced over the organization name that somehow sounded weird; he squinted his eyes .
Following his increase of power, he had a deeper understanding of how powerful Gods were, thus he also understood the strengths of a Godslayer .
Even if the organization was formed by a bunch of humans, fiends, half-fiends, and other various beings, it was not to be underestimated, more so…
They had a God among them!
A God that was heavily injured!
Kieran remembered what the Fiend Hunter, Ren, said to him before .
Perforation Sting succeeded once and failed once .
When succeeded, they created a God .
When failed, they were almost wiped out .
"A heavily injured God…"
Kieran's squinted eyes glimmered . A thought came into his mind .
After that, he had more thoughts about the Gods in that world . Other than the God of Perforation Sting that he had to face eventually, there was Great Swamp which seemed to be a friend at this point plus many more Gods with their ambiguous standings .
"Fiends, mortals, Gods, all staying in the same world . "
"Fiends move at night . "
"Mortals walk the day"
"While Gods reside in the mountains . "
Kieran muttered to himself .
After the thought appeared, more related ones started to appear as well .
Kieran understood if his thoughts and plans were somehow be realized, the kinds of luxurious rewards will be waiting for him would be beyond measure . "
However, before that even began, he had to tread carefully by getting more information .
Luckily, he had someone around him who could provide some help .
Rachel!
Rachel obviously hadn't been into [City of Fiends] but it was hard to say that she never experienced similar dungeon worlds before or seen similar Gods .
Even if she had not, the high-rankers in the small living room would have some useful intel .
Opening the PM tab, Kieran sent out a message .
2567: Rachel, do you know what occurs when a God merges with a city?
2567: Or should I say how powerful it would be?
Kieran added after cooking up his words .
But before Rachel replied, he got an unexpected PM from someone .
