Chapter 299 Sudden Change
After resting and donning new equipment, Tyler's physical condition remained unfit for battle.
━━━━━━━━━
Tyler·Shadow Assassin- Lv50
Life Energy: 1015 / 3350
Endurance: 1121 / 2619
Magic Energy: 1020 / 8290
━━━━━━━━━
The loss of over two thousand life energy points was not merely a number; the Frost Giant Wolf's claw strike had dealt significant damage to Tyler's internal organs and caused varying degrees of rib fractures.
Fortunately, his physical constitution seemed to have strengthened with the growth of his power attributes, allowing him to endure what would have been a fatal injury in the past.
Compared to life energy, Tyler felt that his endurance and magic energy were the true bottlenecks limiting him.
Less than half of his endurance made it impossible for him to engage in prolonged intense combat, and a mere thousand magic energy points rendered him incapable of accomplishing much — If Tyler's magic energy fell below 1000, it would trigger the backlash of the Blazestrike Hell Knightblade.
As an emergency measure, Tyler had saved two bottles of potent magic potions but even if consumed, they would only restore 600 magic energy points, a mere drop in the bucket.
To truly recover, he needed a good night's sleep or perhaps...
Tyler touched the Dragon Pupil Crystal Necklace hidden beneath his shirt and fell into deep contemplation.
.
Upon wearing the Dragon Pupil Crystal Necklace, Tyler was astonished to discover that the necklace's stored magic energy was full, amounting to a staggering 20,000 magic energy points!
This meant that Tyler could immediately use the "Goblin's Secret Treasury" skill to replenish his magic energy completely. However… doing so would waste 12,730 magic energy points, making him hesitant to proceed.
[*20000- (8290-1020)=12730]
Nearly 13,000 magic energy points could significantly improve Tyler's skill proficiency, and wasting them seemed utterly extravagant!
Thus, after discovering this surprise, Tyler refrained from using it, waiting for a more suitable opportunity.
Since there was no imminent threat to his life, there was no need to be wasteful. He's used to gambling and maximizing the profits.
After carefully observing the battlefield, Tyler determined a relatively safe route. He planned to use the shadows of the fortress ruins to descend the mountain from the side, bypassing the most intense main battlefield to rendezvous with Moto-chan. Then, they would head together towards the location of the fourth red light pillar.
Taking a deep breath, Tyler embarked on his desperate escape.
Although no fireballs or arrows targeted Tyler specifically, his flight was still fraught with danger. With his fragile body, any area damage or stray projectiles could prove fatal.
As he ran towards the side of the fortress, Tyler witnessed a massive war spear descend from the sky, piercing the nearby mountain with a single strike. He also saw golden arrows soar into the air, followed by a torrential downpour of arrows that blanketed the entire fortress ruins.
The battles waged by these powerful beings transcended the scope of ordinary individuals. Tyler knew that if he entered their battlefield, he would be as insignificant as a weed on the ground.
.
After several close calls and with the aid of the Divine Eye of Transcendence's warning, Tyler managed to escape the Goblin fortress without using any magic energy. He then successfully met up with Moto-chan at the foot of the mountain.
Moto-chan had sustained several injuries, but they were relatively minor. Out of concern for his companion, Tyler chose not to ride but instead moved swiftly through the woods alongside Moto-chan.

Moto-chan·Steel Hoof Warhorse - Lv21
Life Energy: 622 /1027
Endurance: 570 / 982
Magic Energy: 120 / 210

Tyler observed that the fourth red light pillar was still moving, albeit slowly, suggesting that it was likely engaged in battle.
This realization spurred Tyler and Moto-chan to hasten their pace.
.
At the main battlefield of the Goblin Fortress, the fighting had reached a feverish intensity.
Bloodbane Serpent Erosk had lost an arm, but he was unfazed, knowing that as long as he survived, he could attach a new one. After all, his current arms were not his own.
Obsidian Elder, who stayed behind to help Cardinal Elder deal with Bloodbane Serpent and the Goblin Ruler, was physically intact but running low on endurance and magic energy. He could only feign composure, hoping that Rodrygo would resolve the situation quickly.
At this moment, the Goblin Ruler was in the best condition. This undisputed monster had just finished "warming up," and the alarm horns echoing from within the fortress had ignited its fury, bringing its mental and physical states to optimal levels for battle.
Facing two humans with hidden agendas, the Goblin Ruler's "War God Face" adopted a strategy of wide-ranging attacks to restrict both humans simultaneously. The "Archer Face" focused on exploiting the enemies' weaknesses, waiting for the perfect opportunity to deliver a fatal blow — it was the Archer Face that shot off Bloodbane Serpent's arm with an arrow, although it had initially aimed for his head.
The "Sorcerer Face" was also active, primarily casting enhancement spells and providing defense while carefully observing the battle to discern the relationships and objectives of the humans, offering strategic guidance to the other two faces.
After some deliberation, the "Sorcerer Face" issued its first battle directive: temporarily abandon the fortress gate battlefield and intercept the fire-element human who had left the area!
The Sorcerer Face believed that the fire-element human was going to assist the humans at the fourth light pillar, while the scythe-wielding human and the black fog human at the gate were more difficult to decipher.
The Goblin race's battle strategy was to target the enemy's weakest link, so they decided to intercept the fire-element human and attack the humans at the fourth light pillar simultaneously!
Following the Sorcerer Face's instructions in the Goblin language, the "War God Face" roared and swung its war spear to repel the nearby humans. It then leaped from the top of the fortress to the mountainside in a single bound and sprinted towards the location of the fourth light pillar!
Upon seeing this, Obsidian Elder's face turned pale, and he immediately gave chase, exposing his back to Bloodbane Serpent.
Bloodbane Serpent, seizing the opportunity, pursued him with his sharp laughter and ghostly figure shadowing the elder!
To make matters worse for Obsidian Elder, the Goblin Ruler's "Archer Face" did not remain idle during the pursuit. It readied its massive longbow, aimed at the vulnerable elder, and mercilessly began sniping at him!
