Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Viviana could scarcely believe the sight before her eyes. 

The formidable Cardinal Elder, astonishingly, had been struck down by the enemy, falling to the ground like a kite with its string cut. 

Fortunately, the Elder did not perish there and then. He propped himself up with his hand, staggered to his feet, and coughed up a large mouthful of blood onto the ground.

"Elder!" Viviana hastily spurred her horse to approach, but was halted by the look in the Elder's raised eyes. 

It was a gaze that warned her to keep her distance; a gaze that urged her to continue her retreat!

Years of mentorship had fostered an understanding between Viviana and her two teachers. 

Even without the Cardinal Elder uttering a word, Viviana understood his intentions. Moreover, in order not to implicate Viviana, Cardinal Elder, disregarding his need for rest, was already preparing to depart.

As he was about to leave, this formidable figure noticed a strange presence lurking near Viviana...

— (So that's how it is, I was wondering where Viviana got her warhorse.) 

Cardinal Elder glanced at the young man, memorizing his appearance and aura, then shifted his gaze back to Viviana.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Cardinal Elder had no time for detailed inquiries, and simply asked Viviana in a concise manner, "Is he an ally?" 

Viviana was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in affirmation. 

Receiving this response, the Elder unfurled his fiery wings, ready to take flight once more.

The reason the Cardinal Elder did not harbor any suspicion was because Viviana was now completely free, and the young man's aura was weak, merely between the second and third levels. 

As for the coincidences and connections involved, the Cardinal Elder was not in a hurry to know at this moment.

The broad fiery wings lifted the Cardinal Elder's body into the air, but just then, the sound of the earth shaking came from the mountainside not far away. 

— (Damn, that guy is catching up...) 

"Get moving!" 

The Cardinal Elder shouted at Viviana, who then hastily spurred her horse into a gallop. However, the subsequent events proved that even if she had started running a bit earlier, it would have been in vain.

.

An enormous creature unknown to Viviana was rapidly charging towards her and the Cardinal Elder's location, causing the ground to tremble as if an earthquake was occurring, making it nearly impossible for the warhorse to move. 

Then, suddenly, the sky darkened.

Viviana looked up to see a colossal, three-headed, six-armed monster "flying" in the air, casting a shadow that blotted out the sun, as if a mountain was soaring through the sky!

Next, this "mountain" crashed heavily onto the ground, causing Viviana to nearly fall off her horse, while the surrounding earth cracked open, forming countless fissures of varying sizes. At this point, Viviana finally got a close-up view of the true face of this "king" – the terrifying pressure emanating from the three-headed, six-armed Goblin Ruler enveloped every inch of the surrounding land.

Viviana could not comprehend how such a massive body could move so agilely; the earth-shattering leap it had just performed was not something a creature of this size should be capable of! What a terrifying physical prowess! 

What was even more critical was that the Goblin Ruler, upon landing, had positioned itself right at the exit of the labyrinth – the very exit that led to the Scarlet Family's territory.

As the Goblin Ruler's three heads simultaneously let out a spine-chilling roar, the world in Viviana's eyes was plunged into an apocalyptic scene.

.

"All goblins, heed my command!" (in Goblin language) 

The Goblin Ruler did not immediately launch an attack but instead began shouting loudly in an unknown language. 

"Goblin Guard Squad!" 

"Goblin Cavalry Squad!" 

"Goblin Mage Squad!" 

"Goblin Assassin Squad! Drop everything and come to me to fight the enemy together!" 

This voice, louder than thunder, echoed throughout the entire Aqua Nest.

To protect her eardrums from rupturing, Viviana was forced to retreat several dozen meters with her warhorse, but even so, her head still buzzed with a faint, piercing pain. 

Without any need for identification or explanation, Viviana already knew that this was the Labyrinth Boss – the Goblin Ruler.

However, the current situation was quite peculiar and different from what Viviana had read in books. The books described that within the "Labyrinth: Aqua Nest," there were three Goblin Rulers: the War God Goblin, who excelled in close combat; the Archer God Goblin, who was skilled in archery; and the Sorcerer God Goblin, who was adept at magic spells. 

The three teams entering the labyrinth from three different entrances had to cooperate to defeat the three Goblin Rulers before they could destroy the labyrinth's core and obtain the ultimate treasure.

But the monster now active before Viviana's eyes seemed to have fused all three kings together, perfectly retaining the characteristics of each king.

— (Why... would such a monster be born?) 

There was no time for Viviana to ponder, as the Goblin Ruler had already begun to take action, and the Cardinal Elder had returned to his battle-ready state.

.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back!"

  The Obsidian Elder arrived just in time, informing the Crimson Elder first before turning his attention to Viviana.

Viviana was glad that the two elders had reunited, but for some reason, the Obsidian Elder's figure seemed somewhat strange. 

It took her a moment to notice that he had lost an arm, which left her completely stunned. 

One of the Obsidian Elder's specialties was ambidextrous swordsmanship, wielding lethal sword techniques with both hands. Now that he had lost one hand, his strength had not been halved, but he had undoubtedly suffered a severe blow.

Before Viviana could think of what to say, a sharp, maniacal laughter came from another direction. 

Soon after, an old man wrapped in numerous snake-like chains emerged, sprinting from the woods.

Upon seeing this, the Obsidian Elder immediately drew his Lightbane Spellblade and positioned himself between the chain-wrapped old man and Viviana. 

At the same time, the Crimson Elder took to the air and began attacking the Goblin King, hoping to divert its attention from Viviana. 

Witnessing this scene, Viviana's eyes welled up with tears.

She could see that both elders were struggling to protect themselves, yet they were still trying to create an opportunity for her to escape.

Viviana was indeed pure and kind-hearted, but she was not naive. She would not recklessly rush in to help the two elders in battle, only to become a burden and cause their demise. 

However, Viviana was also unable to fulfill the elders' expectations and escape from the labyrinth's exit.

This was not because she harbored any unrealistic thoughts, but because the colossal Goblin Ruler had blocked any possibility of escaping through the exit. 

It was as if it knew Viviana wanted to flee the labyrinth and deliberately guarded the exit. No matter how the Crimson Elder attacked and provoked, it was useless. Moreover, its War God Face took advantage of the magical barrier blocking the Crimson Elder's attacks, suddenly turned towards Viviana, and raised its steel war spear!

Green light continuously wrapped around the steel war spear, and the War God Face's sinister grin and hand movements sent an unmistakable signal: 

It intended to kill Viviana with its next strike!
