"As the nine luminaries follow their course, the primordial lingers..."
The Bloodbane Serpent, Erosk, began to chant a spell rapidly, while simultaneously pursuing 'Reddy and Blacky' at a brisk pace. '
"May the gods grant me infinity, bestow upon me darkness..."
His stride seemed unhurried, yet his speed was astonishingly swift, this bizarre sight further accentuated the peculiarity of his physical structure.
"Boundless Purity, gods all, guard and absolve the celestial sin..."
As the chant progresses, the Bloodbane Serpent was about to catch up with the two elders of the Scarlet Family. n(-o-)V)-e-)L(-b))1)-n
However, his aim was not to catch up with the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders, but to bring the exit of the labyrinth leading to the Scarlet Family territory within his spellcasting range.
Indeed, the Bloodbane Serpent intended to replace the Goblin Ruler, who had been lured away, and retake control of the labyrinth exit. '
"Answer my call, and manifest your tyrannical form in this mortal world! Twinborn Iridium Python - Yami Abysson!"
As the Bloodbane Serpent completed his chant, a purple-black summoning circle appeared on the ground at the labyrinth exit.
Immediately, a two-headed black python, comparable in size to the Goblin Ruler, springs forth, hissing menacingly.
Its eight eyes, shared between its two heads, were firmly fixed on the movements of the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders and the Goblin Ruler.
Taking advantage of the few seconds of distraction caused by the Twinborn Iridium Python, the Bloodbane Serpent quietly squated on the ground.
"Go, my children, find that young man!"
The Bloodbane Serpent opened his palm, and dozens of small blood snakes crawled out from the bloody hole in his palm, quickly slithering onto the ground and disappearing into the bushes.
At this point, the Bloodbane Serpent's arrangement was complete, and all that remained was a time of enjoyment.
.
"Damn it! This damned madman!!!"
The reappearance of the Twinborn Iridium Python effectively blocked the retreat of the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders.
The Cardinal Elder, who had just unleashed his Divine Weapon, had no means to repel this thick-skinned, two-headed python in a short time, and the duration of the Obsidian Elder's "Body of Black Mist" is limited, not enough to support him reaching the exit.
In other words, if they can't get this monster to move, the Goblin Ruler will soon return to this position.
— (This madman, the Bloodbane Serpent, really stops at nothing to achieve his goal!)
Seeing that the Goblin Ruler is about to return, the Obsidian Elder, in his desperation, shouted at the Cardinal Elder.
'Rodrygo! Follow me!'
The Obsidian Elder quickly changed direction and ran straight towards another exit of the labyrinth, based on his memory from the previous attack.
The Cardinal Elder immediately followed suit, and it took him two seconds to understand the Obsidian Elder's intention.
For the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders, and even the Bloodbane Serpent, they all knew where their respective labyrinth exits are. However, the Goblin Ruler may not know this information.
If the Goblin Ruler doesn't know, then the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders could pretend to go to another labyrinth exit first, to buy time and deceive the Goblin Ruler. Once their skills have cooled down, they could then launch a surprise attack, completing this feint strategy.
But this strategy is not without risk. First, their chances of being killed in the labyrinth have increased, and the Goblin reinforcements could arrive at any time.
If it weren't for the fact that they can't escape from the labyrinth exit right now, they wouldn't had resorted to this desperate measure.
.
The quick-wittedness of the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders saved them from a deadly confrontation with the Bloodbane Serpent and the Goblin Ruler.
However, their strategy had an unfortunate casualty - our friend, Tyler.
Just moments ago, Tyler had fulfilled his greatest wish within the labyrinth: ensuring the safe retreat of Viviana.
With his wish fulfilled, Tyler had no intention of lingering for a fight. He took advantage of the chaos, making a run for it.
His plan was to escape through the exit at Delis Town, thus ending his labyrinth nightmare.
Unexpectedly, the demons, engaged in battle, started rushing towards him within a minute, and their speed was astonishing!
Tyler had grown numb to such grand spectacles. His only longing was for his "mind-reading ability".
Neither the Goblin Ruler nor the three monstrous elders, all above level 150, could have their thoughts directly read by him. Although Tyler could analyze a person's inner thoughts through their tone, micro-expressions, and actions, he didn't have the luxury to observe any monster up close in a battlefield where any residual effect of a skill could kill him.
Tyler could only speculate that the two elders of the Scarlet Family probably missed the opportunity to escape with Viviana.
Now, to recreate that opportunity, they had resorted to a diversionary tactic at the unrelated exit of Delis Town.
Given the circumstances, Tyler, who was not marked by the red pillar, decided to hide away from the labyrinth exit and observe before making his next move.
As he was running, Tyler heard the familiar sound of hooves. It was Moto-chan, his warhorse, coming to join him.
Since Moto-chan also entered the labyrinth from the entrance of Delis Town, it was unaffected when only Viviana was teleported out after they rushed into the Scarlet Family's territory.
"Good job, partner. We owe our success to you!"
Tyler patted Moto-chan's head and stroked its mane. He never knew, back on Earth, that warhorses could be such intelligent and spirited animals.
Moto-chan neighed proudly a couple of times, then gave Tyler a look, signaling him to follow. Tyler didn't understand Moto-chan's intention until he was led to the corpses of several blood-colored snakes.
Their heads had been crushed, clearly the work of Moto-chan.
Tyler examined the corpses and couldn't help but feel grateful for having such a wonderful warhorse as Moto-chan.
The identification result of the snake corpses was: "Summoned Creature - Corpse of the Tracking Secret Snake".
Although Tyler couldn't use his mind-reading ability on the old monsters, it didn't mean he couldn't think. Among the several forces currently present in the labyrinth, apart from the Goblin force that naturally opposed all invaders, the only one that could potentially be hostile towards Tyler was "Bloodbane Serpent - Erosk".
Seeing the corpses of the tracking secret snakes, Tyler immediately thought of the mad yet powerful old man.
As for why this old man wanted to track him, it must be related to the "Top Executive of the Snake Shadow Society" that Tyler had seen in the identification information.
— (Bad guesses are always more likely to come true.)
Tyler had been worried since he identified the Bloodbane Serpent that this guy might be sent by the underworld to assassinate him.
Now, he had to face this reality.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
