Chapter 24: with translation of chapter title

Mu Yi strode forward, sprinting along the direction the fireball was launched, and the fireball grazed Mu Yi's body and slammed into the goblin wave, and when the fireball's power exploded, Mu Yi was already tens of meters away from its impact point.

Mu Yi quickly spotted the figure of an unusual goblin amidst the goblin wave.

Sure enough, the familiar figure of a goblin mage appeared in Mu Yi's field of view, but from the way its staff was raised high, it should be an Elite Goblin Mage.

After piercing the goblin formation, the three-pointed double-edged sword cut down the Elite Goblin in a flurry of slashes, its frail body utterly unable to withstand Mu Yi's violence.

Fire elemental energy surged within the Elite Goblin Mage's body; the unformed fire spell backfired violently, exploding on the spot into a large pit that swept away the surrounding goblins.

Mu Yi had already withdrawn and rushed toward another discovered Elite Goblin, continuously slaughtering, with blood continually splashing onto himself, his body already thoroughly soaked in the crimson hue.

And Mu Yi had already withdrawn and rushed toward the other elite goblin he had discovered, continuously killing, with blood continuously splashing onto his body; his body had long been thoroughly soaked in the scarlet scent.

Thud!

A long spear suddenly pierced the air, aiming straight for Mu Yi's head!

Mu Yi tilted his head to dodge.

A novel ranged attack method, and yet another new type of Elite Goblin.

Ordinary goblins were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter for Mu Yi; their massive numbers posed no threat to him.

Within seven feet around Mu Yi, a flash of blade light turned these goblins into corpses, which became reddish, viscous filth trampled into the ground by other goblins.

Only the frenzied Elite Goblins could pose a threat to Mu Yi.

Ranged attack methods are the only means by which a numerical advantage can begin to be elevated.

Mu Yi believed that upon discovering one, he must eliminate it; allowing these Elite Goblins to gather would be a challenge to personal safety.

He quickly scanned the goblin horde for differing colors, but unexpectedly, he saw no unusual figure in the direction from which the spears were thrown.

In the instant Mu Yi was thinking, a sword light that pierced the air shot through the crowded goblin wave, stabbing toward him from a narrow gap.

The sword light grazed Mu Yi's neck and missed; immediately after, a heavy iron arrow tore through the air, the arrow flashing through the narrow slit aimed at Mu Yi's heart.

Mu Yi instinctively tried to dodge, but discovered his feet were bound by an unknown force; though he could break free with slight effort, it hindered his evasion.

Time Confusion!

The world slowed, the arrow was knocked away by Mu Yi's three-pointed double-edged sword, and Mu Yi also got a clear look at his opponent.

【Elite Goblin Assassin】, 【Elite Goblin Warrior】, 【Elite Goblin Ranger】, 【Elite Goblin Warlock】……

and the organizer of this encirclement, the 【Elite Goblin Priest】.

【Elite Goblin Priest, LV1, Additional Specialties: Wisdom, Cunning, Depravity】

"No wonder I felt there weren't many Elite Goblins; you've gathered them all!" Mu Yi narrowed his eyes.

Seeing the mage's head appear behind the Elite Goblin Priest, already raising his staff, Mu Yi dispelled Time Confusion and then charged through the blood toward the priest.

"But since the Elite monsters have already been gathered, you're now useless; you can go die!"

The sound of piercing air rang out again; the Elite Goblin Assassin's thrusting sword emitted a sharp cry, its dazzling arc of light stabbing toward Mu Yi.

Mu Yi didn't turn back, as if he had eyes on his back, he jabbed the three-pointed double-edged sword backward, perfectly aiming at the Elite Goblin Assassin's thrusting sword.

The dazzling arc of light was instantly shattered by the sword's haft, which struck with the force of breaking bamboo; from tip to hilt, the overwhelming heavy force destroyed the thrusting sword, scattering shards in all directions, while the indestructible haft lodged into the Elite Goblin Assassin's body.

In just an instant, the Elite Goblin Assassin collapsed like a torn rag; that brief contact severed all its vitality.

Mu Yi slightly twisted his body and swept past, the battlefield carved by him into a trench of flesh and blood; the blood‑smeared passage instantly extended to before the Elite Goblin Priest.

Wielding the three-pointed double-edged sword, Mu Yi leapt high and came down with a fierce chop at the Elite Goblin Priest's head.

A flicker of cunning crossed the Elite Goblin Priest's eyes.

Mu Yi's three-pointed double-edged sword easily shattered the priest's surface shield, cleaving his body, yet until the very last moment the Elite Goblin Priest's mouth curled in a mocking smile.

Boom!

Fireballs, lightning, ice cones, and wind blades swept over the goblin corpses in an instant, also engulfing Mu Yi.

The monsters in the Simulated Universe are intelligent, yet they too have been implanted with a Mental Steel Seal to kill enemies; what the Elite Goblin Priest did was use himself as bait, luring Mu Yi into taking the hook, hoping to perish together with him.

But when the dust settled, Mu Yi stomped and crushed the Elite Goblin Priest's skull.

"What an elaborate scheme, but I no longer need to dodge!"

Mu Yi muttered to himself, the Elite Goblin Priest's scheme was splendid, but Mu Yi, who had slaughtered nearly ten thousand goblins, was now no longer a monster that goblins could challenge.

The Crimson Armor, like solidified plating, blocked all spell damage; the goblin mage's spells could no longer inflict any harm on Mu Yi.

Mu Yi stood in place; the Elite Goblin Warrior's greatsword struck his body, yet he felt nothing, as if a mosquito had kissed steel.

Even the Elite Goblin Warrior's strength could not shift Mu Yi's body by the slightest amount.

Realizing he was invincible, Mu Yi began a wanton slaughter, death spreading like a tangible substance through the goblin wave.

Gahaha!

Goblins surged forward in wave after wave, while Mu Yi mercilessly reaped their lives until the time of the Second Round Trial ended.

Leaning on his three-pointed double-edged sword, Mu Yi was utterly exhausted, tired enough to want to curse his mother.

He instead discovered a new drawback on himself: under the accumulation of super‑high attributes, his original physique became a burden.

Now he can swing the three-pointed double-edged sword hundreds of times in an instant, but the recoil of that load onto his own body brings endless fatigue.

It feels like controlling a game character to slash and mow down enemies; merely pressing the controller makes his fingers sore.

His surface armor seems capable of infinite stacking, yet his body appears unable to support driving this invincible armor.

"In the end, I still need to strengthen myself!" Mu Yi pondered the road ahead.

Glancing at his trial points, which had broken the hundred‑thousand mark, Mu Yi didn't even know how many goblins he had slain; no matter how he killed them, the goblin numbers seemed not to diminish.

Looking around now, the surroundings were still an ocean of goblins; Mu Yi also for the first time gained a clear understanding of the term "massive goblins," and unlike the massive goblins in the dungeon, here "massive" truly meant as vast as a sea.

If it weren't for his having become invincible to the point of ignoring any goblin attack, he might very well have been worn down to death in there.

After all, the Elite Goblin Priest appeared more and more frequently later on, and on several occasions the goblins joined forces to strike Mu Yi.
