10: Chapter 10 Goblin Nest Dungeon

Standing still, Lilia couldn't help but replay everything she had experienced in her mind since being summoned.

First, while doing push-ups, her body suddenly became abnormally heavy, as if pressed down by an invisible mountain...

Then there was that bizarre vibration that lasted for a full ten minutes, leaving her entire body numb and limp, even her soul seemingly trembling...

Next, while combing her hair, her feet left the ground without warning, and even her freshly combed long hair drifted uncontrollably...

If the previous abilities were peculiar, they seemed more like pranks or special fetishes, appearing not so "serious" or important.

But now, this Level 100 perfect invisibility ability had a completely different significance!

This was a solid, strategic-level ability sufficient to seize the absolute initiative in any battle!

“No wonder... he so decisively rejected everyone's team invitations...”

Lilia wasn't stupid; she quickly realized the terrifying nature of this ability.

“Moreover, from the feel of it, this seems to be a continuously active Aura effect?”

“Meaning that even if we launch an attack, there's a high probability we won't break this invisibility state?”

“This... this is simply unsolvable!”

This Elf Princess from another world never imagined that the master who summoned her to this human world actually possessed such a perverted, almost rule-breaking ability!

With this kind of ability, was there any need to team up with others?

None at all!

One could simply infiltrate while invisible and sweep through everything; those monsters probably wouldn't know where the attack came from even until death, unable to see even a shadow of the enemy!

For a moment, the gaze Lilia directed at the translucent figure beside her became incredibly complex.

The various dissatisfactions and contempt she previously held for this "hateful human" began to waver at this moment.

Perhaps this human named Lin Muyang truly possessed the qualifications and strength to be her master?

“Stop dazing off, let's go.”

Lin Muyang checked his and Lilia's status bars, confirming that the [Divine Concealment Aura] was steadily active and the invisibility level was indeed a shocking Level 100, nodding in satisfaction.

He identified the direction and began heading deeper into the Mystic Zone.

The City South Secret Realm Area where they were currently located was a lowest-level leveling area. The most numerous here were "Iron-tier" Dungeons, which had the lowest difficulty and were suitable for rookie teams who had just changed classes and lacked equipment and skills to slowly find their rhythm.

But for Lin Muyang, grinding Iron-tier Dungeons was a pure waste of time; the rewards and effort were completely disproportionate.

He had lived in this world for eighteen years and systematically studied a vast amount of basic knowledge regarding Class Transferees, monsters, Dungeons, and stats in school.

According to his calculations, with God-Tier combat Auras like [Indestructible] (ten times attack) active, even bringing only a support-oriented summoned creature like Lilia was enough to easily sweep through the higher-tier "bronze-tier instance dungeons," and he could even challenge the more difficult "silver-level dungeons"!

As for "gold rank" Dungeons... it wasn't that they were completely unbeatable, but in a novice area like South City, the probability of a gold rank Dungeon appearing was extremely low, almost negligible.

Therefore, Lin Muyang's goal was very clear—directly find and conquer bronze-tier or silver-level dungeons!

Along the way, they occasionally encountered some Iron-tier Dungeon entrances emitting faint light, but Lin Muyang didn't even spare them a glance, bypassing them directly. His time was precious, and there was no need to waste it on these low-level Dungeons.

...

Meanwhile, in a certain corner of the Mystic Zone.

The entrance to a bronze-tier instance dungeon was quietly floating in mid-air. It was a slowly rotating energy vortex emitting a bronze luster; through the vortex, one could vaguely feel an independent space connected behind it.

Beside this Dungeon entrance, a small team composed of four rookie Class Transferees was arguing heatedly.

“Captain, I think since we're all only Level 2 and our gear is all basic white-tier, it's better to be safe and continue grinding Iron-tier Dungeons,” a Hunter player holding a short bow cautiously suggested.

“I agree. Last time we fought that Iron-tier Dungeon's final mini-boss, we almost lost someone. The monster attributes in a bronze-tier instance dungeon are definitely higher; it's too taxing to fight now,” the Priest girl nearby also expressed concern.

“I say, what are you guys being so cowardly about?” a burly Warrior in the team carrying a double-handed axe shouted dissatisfiedly. “It's just a bronze-tier instance dungeon! The rewards are much higher than Iron! How can you get stronger without taking risks?”

“Exactly! If you don't even dare to fight a bronze-tier instance dungeon, I wouldn't have teamed up with you two if I knew you were so hesitant!” another young man dressed as a Mage chimed in.

Just as the four were deadlocked over whether to enter this bronze-tier instance dungeon...

A sudden change occurred!

The quietly rotating bronze vortex entrance behind them suddenly flickered rapidly. Immediately after, an illusory bronze chain appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the vortex like a spirit snake and locking it tight!

This phenomenon clearly indicated that someone had already entered this Dungeon and used the Dungeon Lock function, prohibiting other Class Transferees from entering!

But...

Was there anyone else nearby besides the four of them just now?

The four Class Transferees looked at each other, their faces written with bewilderment and disbelief!

“What's going on? How did this Dungeon suddenly get entered?”

“Did you guys see anyone go past?”

“No! Forget people, there wasn't even a ghost of a shadow nearby!”

“Could it be... a stealth class?”

“Even for a stealth class, there should be energy fluctuations when approaching a Dungeon entrance, right? We didn't sense anything at all!”

“Isn't the strangest thing that this guy actually went in alone? And even locked the Dungeon directly? That's too confident!”

They all felt extremely puzzled and shocked.

They were just arguing about whether to team up and go in, and in the blink of an eye, the Dungeon was actually snatched away single-handedly by an invisible "ghost"!

“What now? Should we switch Dungeons?” The Hunter looked at the captain.

“I'm not leaving!” That Warrior stiffened his neck and sat down on a nearby rock. “I'm going to wait right here! I want to see exactly what kind of sacred being entered this Dungeon! When he comes out, I've got to get a clear answer!”

“That works,” the Mage stroked his chin, a hint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. “Maybe he'll find he can't beat it halfway through and exit the Dungeon midway? The lock will be released then, and we can just go in and pick up an easy win, hehe.”

They didn't think a high-level Class Transferee had entered this Dungeon. Because of world rule restrictions, Class Transferees more than 3 levels above the Dungeon level cannot enter low-level Dungeons. This was an ironclad law.

Meaning, the highest level of a Class Transferee entering this Level 1 Bronze Dungeon could not possibly exceed Level 4!

Intense curiosity led this four-person team to make the same decision—to stay and wait, to see what kind of sacred being this mysterious "lone wolf" was and how far they could go in this Dungeon.

...

And at this moment, those who had successfully entered the "Goblin Nest (bronze rank)" Dungeon were naturally Lin Muyang and Lilia, who had activated the [Divine Concealment Aura].

The primary reason he wanted to maintain an invisible state was to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Just like the situation just now, if he hadn't been invisible and had walked openly toward the Dungeon entrance with Lilia, he would inevitably have met those four rookie Class Transferees. At that time, whether it was explanations, arguments, or conflicts, it would have wasted his precious time.

To Lin Muyang, those four people combined might not even be enough for Lilia to beat after being buffed by his Auras, but he adhered to the principle of "fewer matters are better than more," preferring a more efficient and stealthy approach.

After entering the Dungeon, as the first person to enter, Lin Muyang immediately exercised his authority to lock the Dungeon entrance, preventing others from coming in and interfering. Only after doing all this did he begin to carefully observe the environment inside the Dungeon.

The position where they appeared was at the entrance of a dim cave. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of dampness, rot, and some kind of biological waste. On the stone walls on both sides of the cave, burning torches emitting black smoke were inserted at intervals, providing dim light barely sufficient to see.

Not far ahead, two short, dark-green-skinned, ugly-looking Goblin minions were holding crude wooden clubs, listlessly guarding the entrance passage of the den.

“It's low-level Green-skinned Goblins!” Lilia immediately recognized this creature based on her Elven knowledge. In her world, these creatures also frequently harassed Elven villages at the edge of the forest.

Relying on being in a perfect state of invisibility, Lilia suddenly became excited, subconsciously raising the staff in her hand, her azure eyes flashing with eager light, wanting to give those two Goblins a Holy Light Spell.

“Wait.”

Lin Muyang sent a thought through the contract with a bit of a headache, stopping her impulsive behavior. “I say, you're a Priest; healing and support are your primary duties. Why is your desire to attack stronger than a Warrior's?” he added helplessly, “Don't be in a hurry to act. Before we start fighting, we need to scout the specific situation of this Goblin Nest.”

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Although Lin Muyang held many God-Tier Auras and was practically a cheat-like existence, he wouldn't become arrogant or let his guard down because of it.

He knew very well that too many Class Transferees in history had failed in seemingly easy adventures because of blind confidence and underestimating the complexity of a Dungeon. He would never make such a low-level mistake.

“Oh...”

Lilia's pointed ears twitched slightly, and she lowered her staff somewhat sheepishly, her fair cheeks flushing slightly. She also realized she had indeed been a bit impulsive just now.

At the same time, a hint of curiosity rose in her heart.

In this dim, intricate cave, what method did Lin Muyang plan to use to scout the entire den?
