Chapter 278 Our Respective Battles
Tyler glanced at the Goblin Fearless Warrior’s condition. After battling with Tyler’s shadow duplicate, it was left with roughly two-thirds of its original state.
━━━━━━━━━
Goblin Fearless Warrior – Lv61
Life Energy: 4099 / 6118
Endurance: 1901 / 3021
Magic Energy: 1015 / 1215
━━━━━━━━━
The cloth armor worn by the Goblin Fearless Warrior had been slashed to tatters by the shadow duplicate. However, its skin and muscles proved to be more resilient than the crude armor, enduring several strikes from the shadow without sustaining deep wounds.
At this moment, the Goblin Fearless Warrior brandished its battle-axe, dispersing the smoke Tyler had just thrown with the gusts it created. Seizing the opportunity, Tyler retrieved his Venomous Dagger and Shadow Sword Flame Steed, positioning himself within the forest to await the enemy’s approach.
The Goblin Fearless Warrior, feeling played, roared in fury and charged towards Tyler!
Unperturbed, Tyler calmly began to run laterally, successfully using the trees within the forest as excellent cover, hindering the massive foe’s ability to continue its assault.
As the Goblin Fearless Warrior’s vision was obstructed by a large tree, Tyler sidestepped to its rear and unleashed a “Blue Blaze Steed” from mid-air. The blazing blue steed pierced through the enemy’s body, leaving severe burns and draining 2772 points of its life energy (4099-2772↓ / 6118).
With its life energy now hanging by a thread, Tyler clearly saw the enormous goblin’s faltering steps.
On the brink of death, the Goblin Fearless Warrior roared once more. As a murderous red light appeared on its body, its movements became fluid again.
It then swung its two battle-axes like a madman, charging towards Tyler and mercilessly cutting down any trees that stood in its way!
Tyler noticed the Goblin Fearless Warrior’s magic energy had decreased, while its strength and fighting spirit had significantly increased. Moreover, its current reckless charge likely involved some innate domineering skill.
However, such a mindless approach could not alter the situation. Tyler faced the Goblin Fearless Warrior head-on and delivered another “Blue Blaze Steed,” ending its life.
.
After the Goblin Fearless Warrior fell, tranquility was restored to the forest.
Tyler collected the magic cores from the defeated creatures, retrieved any usable arrows, and swiftly left the battlefield.
(Shadow Sword Flame Steed Experience: 20+22↑ / 100)
With the addition of the Goblin Fearless Warrior’s magic core, Tyler now possessed three third-tier magic cores.
When he had the time, he planned to visit a major city like Emerald City to commission a skilled craftsman to forge new equipment.
However, this would only be possible if he could safely exit the labyrinth.
Tyler reunited with Moto-chan and resumed tracking “Sibyl.”
This time, he was more cautious in concealing his presence and took the most covert routes to avoid attracting the goblins’ attention again.

Outside the entrance to the “Aqua Nest” labyrinth, Ice Polestar Sheryl and Branch Chief Pamela had been waiting for over half an hour.
Shortly after Felix entered the labyrinth, another gray entrance lit up with green light, indicating that another death row convict team had been annihilated.
Now, Sheryl and Pamela’s greatest fear was seeing the green light reappear at the entrance Felix had entered. If the gray entrance lit up again, it would mean Felix had perished.
“Lord Sheryl, don’t worry. I believe Felix will be fine.”
“Well…”
Words of Pamela did little to comfort Sheryl, who had already witnessed countless individuals who should have been safe ultimately perish within the labyrinth.
Labyrinths, whether ordinary or ancient, were terrifying demon lairs where a moment’s carelessness could cost one’s life.
But at this point, all Sheryl could do was trust in Felix.
Recalling the moment when Felix entered the labyrinth, Sheryl still remembered a peculiar bird that followed him into the maze.
Although it was not unusual for creatures to inadvertently enter the labyrinth, Sheryl felt that the bird seemed to have deliberately followed Felix.
— (I hope it’s just my imagination.)
.
Simultaneously, in the “Labyrinth: Aqua Nest,” a silver-haired young girl with a veil covering half of her face was traversing the forest alone.
Despite the veil, her captivating, bewitching eyes would still enchant anyone who saw them. 𝑜𝒱𝒍xt.𝒞𝓞𝓜
A sly old elm treant, disguised as an ordinary tree, had noticed the enchanting young girl from afar. It stealthily approached her with its roots underground, and when it was close enough, the roots suddenly burst forth, lunging at the delicate body of the young girl!
However, to the treant’s surprise, its roots were instantly severed by an unknown force. As it looked up, several silver rapiers had appeared around the young girl, with three of them flying straight towards the treant!
— (Damn it, how did I get discovered?!)
The elm treant uprooted itself, revealing its true form as a treant demon. Its hardened branches and vines were unafraid of the incoming rapiers, and it seized the opportunity to strike, not only avoiding being cut but also knocking the rapiers to the ground!
— (Hahahaha! I don’t know why, but my strength has indeed increased!)
The old treant was overjoyed by its sudden growth. Just half an hour ago, an inexplicable force had surged into its body, allowing its power to advance by a whole tier, evolving from a second-tier treant to a third-tier elm treant.
Initially, the treant had felt somewhat unreal, but now it could truly sense the growth of its own power!
—(Die! Leaf Storm!)
The old treant shook its body, and the leaves falling from its crown transformed into flying blades under the influence of its magic, attacking the silver-haired girl!
As the wide-ranging attack was about to succeed, the young girl gracefully swung her silver longsword, knocking down the leaf blades while dancing lightly on her feet, arriving in front of the old treant!
At this point, the treant felt somewhat weak. As a tree spirit-type demon, it was least adept at dealing with agile enemies and fire-based attacks.
If its attacks were difficult to land, its massive, clumsy body would become a sitting duck!
—(…Left with no choice, eat this! Root Entanglement!)
The old treant abandoned the idea of conserving its magic power and directly used the new skill it had acquired after evolving to the third tier!
With the treant at its center, numerous thick roots burst forth from the ground, stubbornly resisting the young girl’s slashing sword, and forcibly entangled her!
