Chapter 290 Sneak in the Goblin Fortress

A dazzling flash of light coalesced into a single point before erupting outward.

A thunderous, earth-shaking roar assaulted the eardrums of every creature present, a second later than expected, as rolling waves of scorching flames engulfed the entire mountaintop.

At that moment, a cataclysmic fireball emerged, its diameter vast enough to consume the entire peak, including the goblin fortress!

This was the signature move of Cardinal Elder Rodrygo, "Flame Hell Descend."

Ordinarily, he would not use this technique when allies were nearby, but Obsidian Elder Augusto was an exception, as he possessed a skill that could ignore the terrifying power of "Flame Hell Descend."

As Cardinal Elder unleashed his ability, Obsidian Elder transformed into a cloud of black mist.

For the next ten seconds, he could not launch any attacks, but in return, he would be unaffected by most forms of assault.

Amidst the furnace of flames, Augusto watched as the surrounding flora and fauna were instantly reduced to ash.

Regrettably, even with such formidable power, the attack seemed to have inflicted no harm upon Bloodbane Serpent Erosk and the Goblin Ruler.

The Bloodbane Serpent summoned a pitch-black, six-eyed python, which coiled around the mad elder, shielding him from the flames. Not a single spark could penetrate the barrier, though the python's life was likely in peril.

Meanwhile, the Goblin Ruler's "Sorcerer Face" completed the casting of a shield spell, isolating the flames and preparing to counterattack once the fire subsided.

Had there been other spectators, they might have assumed that the two Elders would be at a disadvantage, having unleashed such a magnificent attack without even breaking their enemies' defenses. However, the Elders had anticipated this outcome, and their true intentions lay elsewhere.

Seizing the opportunity provided by "Flame Hell Descend" to distract their foes and obscure their vision, Cardinal Elder activated his "Flame Wings" and flew straight towards Viviana.

While Obsidian Elder remained within the flames, awaiting the fulfillment of his duty once the fire was extinguished.

.

Soon, the "Flame Hell Descend" technique ended, and just as the Goblin Ruler and Bloodbane Serpent were about to wreak havoc, they discovered that the source of the flames, Cardinal Elder, had vanished.

"Blacky, you two are truly naive, thinking that just one of you could hold us both back," taunted the Bloodbane Serpent, absorbing the charred remains of the six-eyed python through the pores in his palm.

"Bloodbane Serpent, when did you join forces with the labyrinth boss?"

Obsidian Eler asked, calm and composed.

He had no confidence in winning the battle, but stirring chaos was his forte!

At that moment, the Goblin Ruler, enraged at the escape of his prey, brandished his "War God Face" and steel spear, striking at the nearest target, Bloodbane Serpent, with the speed of wind and thunder.

Simultaneously, his "Sorcerer Face" and "Archer Face" launched an offensive against Augusto!

.

Thunderous noises continuously emanated from the goblin fortress, causing Tyler, who was stealthily climbing the mountain, to wince in pain with each explosion.

His greatest regret was not being able to witness this battle of gods, but he had more important tasks at hand.

Relying on the early warning from the Divine Eye of Transcendence, Tyler evaded the terrifying giant fireball and arrived at the base of the crude stone wall built by the goblins.

The uneven surface provided him with an opportunity to scale the wall with his bare hands.

The giant fireball had also greatly aided Tyler, as it had nearly wiped out the goblin archers on the tower, leaving only a few barely clinging to life. This allowed Tyler to successfully climb the wall undetected.

Once inside the goblin fortress, Tyler continued to move stealthily, his objective clear: to reach the so-called "labyrinth's core" since he had entered the heart of the maze. If given the chance, he would strike a fatal blow to the core and reap a tremendous advantage =v=

Along the way, Tyler saw charred goblin corpses everywhere and occasionally encountered some still barely alive, which he would mercifully finish off.

However, only the second and some third-tier goblins were severely injured by the fireball; the fourth-tier goblins remained healthy and combat-ready, and they were Tyler's primary targets to avoid.

After several twists and turns, Tyler finally reached the location of the "labyrinth's core" by following the thickest red light pillar. After countless moments of holding his breath and focusing, he used the Shadow Step to reach the top floor of the highest palace within the fortress.

There was no cover on the top floor, so Tyler could only crouch under the stairs, peering out with just his eyes.

In the center of the top floor, a fist-sized white light orb hovered, wrapped in numerous demonic symbols.

Surrounding the orb were several layers of semi-transparent spherical magical barriers, tightly enclosing the white light orb.

(So, that's the "labyrinth's core"...)

Even without using his identification ability at this distance, Tyler could guess its identity.

After seeing the labyrinth's core with his own eyes, Tyler realized that he was currently incapable of destroying it for two reasons:

First, the magical barriers surrounding the core posed a significant risk, as attacking them might attract the attention of the labyrinth boss, and Tyler was unsure if he could quickly break through the barriers.

Second, six goblin guards of various types, both melee and ranged, physical and magical, stood outside the barriers, all of them at the fourth-tier and level 100.

Facing six level 100 fourth-tier guards, even with the protection of Tyler's "Heart of Fearlessness," he could not afford to be reckless.

He constantly reminded himself of his current reality: a mere second-tier level 50. Without the help of the Divine Eye of Transcendence, he would have perished in the sudden giant fireball, just like the second-tier goblin soldiers, without any chance to resist.

(Alright, I've seen enough. Time to retreat. Bye~bye~)

Tyler withdrew decisively, making his way to the lowest floor. His next plan was to sneak out of the goblin fortress and find a path to see if the fourth red light pillar was Viviana.

However, as he was about to leave the building, his always-active identification ability suddenly detected something on an inconspicuous wall.

"Hmm?"

At first, Tyler thought he had seen it wrong, but upon closer inspection, the identification information in his eyes reignited his interest in causing mischief.

On this unremarkable wall, there was an ordinary brick.

The identification information for this brick read: "Hidden switch to the secret passage."
