Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1254 - 802: Holy Light Festival

Holy Light Festival, a large-scale celebration held by the Holy Light Church once every few years.

For the Holy Light Church, this celebration holds a status no less significant than the War Festival does for the Warrior Country; it serves as an important tool for external propaganda and internal control.

However, compared to the Warrior Country, which is still trying to make the War Festival play an important role, the Holy Light Festival has become increasingly superficial and formalized. Although it appears more splendid year after year, no updates have been made for a long time.

The most recent Holy Light Festival was held not only in the traditionally used Holy Light Underground City but also expanded to include five major cities surrounding the Skamelon Capital, showcasing lavishness.

With this trend, people speculate that the next festival might encompass ten major cities and possibly incorporate the entire Skamelon as part of the festival.

As for the traditional Holy Light Underground City... it’s just for show. How can anything underground compare to the opulence above ground?

This time, the Holy Light Festival coincided with the outbreak of the Skamelon civil war, and the church wouldn’t waste such an opportunity to boost morale. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

It’s estimated that it must be held with considerable grandeur!

"Inviting us to participate in the form of projections?"

Having just changed out of the equipment used to explore Sain Dungeon, Anleisi murmured to herself while looking at the letter sent from headquarters. The letter package also included several magic tools for projection, clearly distributed to her and Kaius among other commanders.

Participating in the festival in the form of projections is indeed a clever method. If they had called us back to view the festival at such a crucial moment, it would spell doom for the Holy Light Church’s future.

However, not everyone can attend the festival; here in the army, Anleisi must ensure someone remains to guard against the rebel army’s surprise attacks.

"I remember that projections can’t move freely, they can only operate within a designated small area of the Magic Circle. If this festival is even larger than the last one, what’s the point of projecting ourselves there if we can’t stroll around?"

Anleisi pouted, her interest in attending the festival diminished instantly. Not being able to shop was a huge damper on her youthful enthusiasm.

She clearly remembered being quite excited about the arrival of the Holy Light Festival in the past, even promising her brother that they would go and have fun together. How did she become so uninterested now?

"This must be the whims of a young girl’s mind~"

Anleisi casually shrugged, seemingly indifferent to the change in her thoughts.

Typically, changes in mindset are difficult for the individual to detect on their own. Moreover, the change isn’t unreasonable, and the people around her didn’t find anything amiss, making it even less likely for her to notice.

She called the guard outside the door, handed these projection devices to them, instructed them to distribute them to other colleagues, and kept just one set for herself.

Since Kaius openly expressed disinterest in these matters, Anleisi was burdened to go on a business trip.

"But why advance the timing? The recent battle conditions seem quite favorable, trying to use this to boost morale?"

Anleisi opened the curtain; her room, surprisingly just a modest one-bedroom at her request, looked small and secure. Although the facilities were simple, the view was quite expansive, positioned atop a high tower of the church, overlooking the entirety of Hepa Town.

She enjoyed this feeling of overlooking her own side’s forces from above, as the orderly operation of "her people" gave her a sense of security, a feeling of being protected.

"How wonderful it would have been to live in such safety during childhood..."

Watching the soldiers below carrying out their duties, she muttered to herself, unconsciously tapping her arm with her finger.

Hepa Town is still Hepa Town; soldiers continue to patrol, enter dungeons, practice newly learned sorcery in groups, while a Holy Light Knight watches admiringly from the side.

Oh, and the most crucial group, the maintenance team for the Magic Sky Curtain.

Looking up at the sky, one would occasionally see colorful glows flowing over Hepa Town and the surrounding ten miles of sky. These colors subtly deviate from the natural environment, but it’s unnoticeable if not scrutinized.

This is the coverage range of the Dark Moon Church’s mighty weapon, the [Magic Sky Curtain].

Within this range, our magicians will be greatly enhanced; enemies entering will face automatic attacks from the Magic Sky Curtain and will be suppressed in spellcasting strength when bombarded to the point of being torn apart, forced to resort to cold weaponry.

Charging up to the city head against massive magical offensives from magicians stationed in Hepa Town with cold weapons?

What a joke, perhaps only someone like a Sword Saint could accomplish something so outrageous.

The Magic Sky Curtain is the foundation upon which the Three Great Religions maintain the stability of their occupied territories and the strongest reliance against invasions!

As long as this thing remains and continues to function, there’s no need to worry about Hepa Town being seized by the rebel army.

And as long as the maintenance team keeps working diligently every day, the Magic Sky Curtain will remain free of issues.
