"Go!"
He shouted loudly!
Almost at the sa ti, he activated both the Enhanced Jump and Monstrous Strength skills, an overwhelming power surging through his body.
In an instant, his physique, especially his legs, suddenly thickened dramatically.
The originally smooth muscle lines bulged out like solid boulders.
“Boom!”
Using the explosive force from the double enhancent, his feet slamd into the ground.
The recoil launched him like a cannonball!
Beside him, Aria, who gave him one last glance, quickly mounted her wolf.
Although still sowhat worried about Gauss, she knew that every second she stayed would increase Gauss’s danger.
By leaving earlier, Gauss could escape before the Gauss Field shattered. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveIＦire
“Clack clack!”
Ulfen, who had long received orders, sprinted rapidly toward their original path.
“Rember to et us early!”
Aria’s voice faded down the corridor.
But at this mont, Gauss no longer paid attention to these words.
His gaze fixed solely on the pale and deadly spider-like guardian in front of him.
His body moved at high speed, the surroundings flying past in a blur.
In the blink of an eye, he had closed in on the guardian’s side.
He pushed off the ground again and leaped high using montum.
Both hands gripped the heavy tal staff tightly as Monstrous Strength surged unrestrained into his arms.
“!”
His arm muscles bulged, veins snaking beneath the skin like small snakes.
“Die!!!”
The heavy tal staff tore through the air, cutting through the fierce wind, smashing down hard onto the pale guardian’s head!
The pale guardian, originally distracted by Aria’s escape and preparing to chase, suddenly felt the sharp gust from the staff beside it.
Its reaction was unbelievably fast, twisting its body at an unnatural speed.
Its tough arm blades blocked the staff’s downward path.
“Bang!”
A deafening, crisp sound echoed as the staff and blades clashed, releasing a visible white shockwave.
“Graaah!!!”
Gauss clenched his teeth, using his body weight to press down fiercely!
Finally, the blocking arm blade was forced down several centiters, while the guardian’s pale shell emitted a grating “crackling” sound.
Clearly, facing Gauss’s charged strike was no easy task for it.
Because of this, it had to shift attention from Aria’s escape to Gauss himself.
“Boom!”
A slender but deadly leg lifted like lightning.
The next mont,
The leg sliced through the air, emitting a sharp, tearing sound.
That blade-like spider leg struck Gauss’s body with a brutal blow!
“Boom!” Gauss was blasted backward.
During the flight, he could clearly feel the Gauss Field on his body rapidly weakening.
Although not shattered by that single kick, it couldn’t endure many more hits.
Moreover, that strike was constrained by its awkward posture—defending against his staff strike while hastily attacking at the sa ti.
If it was at full strength, the power would be even greater.
Indeed, legs are stronger than arms!
Gauss had originally thought of testing the opponent’s strength—maybe it was just a hollow elite monster?
If so, he could finish the kill progress for the fifth elite monster.
But judging by what he saw, this was no “paper tiger”;
its strength was undeniable.
It was likely not a level 3 challenge monster.
Gauss guessed that they were the first adventurers to activate this pale guardian, so its body hadn’t fully entered combat mode yet.
Once it got going, its strength would be even more terrifying.
They had to retreat!
Gauss had no intention to press the attack.
Aria’s figure had already disappeared, and it was ti for him to find a chance to escape!
Retreating wisely was the most rational strategy for adventurers;
after all, hot-headed fools don’t live long.
Thinking this, his body twisted midair to adjust posture as he flew backward.
“—”
He slid several ters on landing before stabilizing his stance.
At that mont, the pale guardian transford into a shadow and rapidly closed in.
“Light Cantrip!”
The Light Cantrip, prepared in advance, suddenly burst from the tip of Gauss’s tal staff with dazzling brilliance, instantly filling the corridor with blinding light!
The pale guardian’s vacant eyes suddenly contracted.
Although its gaze seed empty, it still relied on visual organs to gather external information.
In the maze, faint light was everywhere.
However, this light was different from natural strong light outside.
Due to long-term environntal effects, creatures here evolved to have weak light or even dim light vision.
This was sothing Gauss only realized last night.
His especially bright Light Cantrip could act like a flashbang even when facing non-dark creatures.
The pale guardian was dazzled and instinctively adjusted its defense posture.
Gauss’s feet suddenly erupted with Monstrous Strength as he sprinted toward the original passage.
Stunned for less than a second, the pale guardian reacted and chased after Gauss.
“Light Cantrip!”
After running so distance, Gauss used the trick again, turning sharply to release another Light Cantrip at the guardian.
Unfortunately, the second spell’s effect was weaker.
Whether the guardian had adapted to strong light or prepared in advance, it showed no hesitation in its pursuit.
Using the montum of its charge, milky white light coiled around its arm blades, which slashed horizontally at Gauss.
“Die!”
Gauss blocked with his staff, enduring for a mont before using the slash’s force to propel himself backward again.
“Bang!”
He groaned quietly.
The guardian was not slow;
it anticipated his block and simultaneously attacked with its hands and continued the leg blade assault.
Fortunately, the Gauss Field barely held.
This was thanks to Gauss Field being his core skill;
otherwise, his normal Mage Armor at his level could never withstand such a fierce assault.
Gauss quickly disintegrated the damaged Gauss Field while his body’s mana surged.
A new Gauss Field instantly ford, covering his entire body.
In the blink of an eye, his defensive barrier was restored perfectly.
Yes! This was why he dared to stay and fight a powerful elite monster.
As long as the enemy couldn’t break his armor in one strike, he could rely on his abundant mana and core skill to instantly cast Gauss Field and rebuild his defense!
Like a solid fortress!
And right now, his mana was exceptionally abundant.
However?
As Gauss flew backward, he observed the surrounding corridor.
Although it was clearly the sa direction, the environnt felt subtly different from when he ca.
What was going on?
A wave of unease surfaced in his heart.
