Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 477 The Labyrinth

As he slammed hard into the head of the main opponent in that place, Lothur saw that being looking in his direction as it turned its earthen face away.

While still having one of its feet on the crushed body of the demon, that brown creature, the largest in the area, moved against Lothur, trying to deliver a punch on this human about to hit its head.

But as it moved and the other beings ran towards it, Lothur used the belt around his waist and teleported behind where that thing was looking at him.

As he appeared there, the silver-haired young man's eyes glowed fiery red before two lasers shot toward the back of the creature's head.

Simultaneously, his attack with the Elemental Staff continued to move toward the creature's body.

Pow!

When such a thing struck one of the being's arms, it suddenly let the dark gem in its hands fall, at the same time as its head melted into lava.

These earth beings, even the strongest, were much weaker than the Transcendent beasts that Lothur had faced earlier. Because of this, their bodies could not take as much, and his laser was enough to take out even the strongest of these opponents.

Lothur immediately ran towards the dark gem when he saw it falling from the hand of one of those beings, intending to keep such a thing for himself.

But before he could do that, the weaker beings in that area suddenly launched attacks in his direction, while some of them seemed to start merging.

'What the fuck?' Lothur looked at one of the beings there merging with another and transforming into a creature similar to the one he had just killed.

Not only that, the instant such a being formed, a hand of earth suddenly grew out of the corpse falling beside that dark gem.

Then, that hand quickly grabbed the gem and threw it in the direction of the first being to finish its fusion. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

As that creature took the dark gem in one of its skeletal earth hands, all the others there finished fusing and momentarily stood still around Lothur.

The two bodies of the creatures he had just killed then began to degrade like melting water, heading toward the bodies of the four creatures around him.

'Oh, shit...' Lothur more or less understood the situation.

For this silver-haired young man, this should be a reaction to the emergence of someone stronger than should be in such a place. He probably initiated a command for these beings to merge and form an opponent worthy of him to prevent him from obtaining that item.

'I'll probably have to defeat all of them, or I won't be able to get that thing...' He looked at the demon's body regenerating and then back at those creatures.

'Not for less! Because of this place, those beasts said that if I died or something bad happened, it wouldn't be their fault!'

'This place really has enough strong stuff to kill someone like me!'

With that, he put the idea of casually using his laser vision ability aside for the moment, feeling that this would not be good for him at the beginning of the fight. These creatures could absorb parts of the other's powers and fuse together. So he would have to find ways to destroy them without expending as much of his strength as when he used such a skill.

"Damn! That is going to be tough!" He held the Elemental Staff with his two hands as if he were holding an ax.

Meanwhile, Lothur had his face in a position where he could see the four opponents around him.

When the first of them began to attack in his direction, he moved to deflect while attacking the one behind him.

The other three began to attack at that instant, starting what would be a difficult fight for young Ritter.

...

Meanwhile, outside that labyrinth...

The beasts that had fought Lothur a few moments ago had just finished recovering from their pain.

"That human's recovery speed is extremely high..." The yellow crocodile commented to the lizard beside it, noting that Lothur had recovered and started the labyrinth challenge well before them.

"It's awe-inspiring... But will he make it far in that place?" The lizard looked into the eyes of its distant cousin as the other beasts there were waiting for them to enter the labyrinth.

This labyrinth was one of the most challenging chambers in the Immortals Well. It had a series of challenges for those entering, which, depending on the luck of the individual entering, could be more or less complicated.

The more endless points someone inside this labyrinth found, the more challenges capable of killing even low-level Transcendents would stand in their way.

Because of this, no one from around this lake had ever managed to get to the end of the labyrinth.

The crocodile then commented. "I don't think so."

"No matter how fast and smart he is, he will fail. In fact, that is what will prevent him from succeeding here. If he runs away from some challenges or even cheats, the problems ahead will become more difficult, and he will either die or have to give up."

This place seemed to have a shared intelligence. When a being part of the labyrinth faced an opponent, it would transmit its results to the others ahead. If the individual challenging the labyrinth had run away or had not fairly defeated their opponents, the challenges became more difficult.

That was the case that had just happened to Lothur. He had tried to defeat the enemy leader, to get the dark stone, without defeating the other beings there. Because of this, his challenge had become more complex, and every test he would have later on would be harder than it should be just because of this!

That was the big problem with the labyrinth, which was why nobody, not even level 16 beasts, had ever conquered this place.

Fortunately for the beings that entered the labyrinth, escaping from it was not that difficult. As long as one gave up fighting and focused their strength on running, the beings in the area would not chase them for long.

Because of this, those who entered there could escape if they so decided.

But those who tried their luck to the end had only one fate...

Death!

"Sigh..."

"Let's see. I'd like to find out what's beyond the fifth corridor." The lizard commented.

The beasts in this lake sorted the area by corridors from the beginning of the labyrinth. Since the strongest had only gone as far as the fifth corridor, no one knew what existed beyond that level.

"How far do you think he can get?" It looked at that yellow being, thinking of gambling.

"I don't know. Probably the third, fourth at most." The crocodile said.

Beasts loved to bet, so they each looked into each other's eyes, and that biggest being there said. "I bet he won't make it past the fourth."

"All right, I say he'll make it to the fifth." The lizard said before beginning to negotiate with that being what would be at stake in that bet.
