Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!



The sniper-like prowess of the "Goblin Ruler - Archer Face" could hardly be called sniping. 

Imagine a giant, three stories tall, drawing a colossal longbow that requires an unknown amount of force to pull back, then launching arrows three to four meters long at speeds nearly imperceptible to the naked eye. 

The mere sound of the arrow leaving the bowstring could shatter the eardrums of those nearby.

Only when the three to four-meter-long arrow whizzes past one's face can the absurd, surreal sensation be truly grasped.

As the participant, the Obsidian Elder felt that the object was not an arrow at all, but rather an enormous crossbow bolt! It was a siege weapon that could only be launched from a massive crossbow, capable of easily piercing even an elephant! 

Not long ago, he had merely been grazed by the "arrow," losing an arm in the process, which attests to its formidable power.

At this moment, the Obsidian Elder had to guard against this siege weapon-like arrow while also keeping an eye on the pursuing Bloodbane Serpent behind him, a truly unbearable predicament. 

Now, it was not a matter of stalling these two monsters, but rather whether he could even preserve his own life.

The Cardinal Elder, who should have already joined him, was still lingering near Viviana, and the situation was unclear. 

— (Rodrygo... if you don't come soon, I'm afraid my life will be forfeit here…)

·

Ten minutes ago, Cardinal Elder Rodrygo arrived at Viviana's location. 

When he arrived, Viviana was being chased through the forest by the Goblin Wolf Riders led by the "Goblin Wolf Cavalry Commander." These well-trained cavalrymen had already begun herding Viviana toward the "reinforcements."

The so-called reinforcements referred to the "Elderly Goblin Shaman" who had rushed here from the goblin fortress almost simultaneously with Cardinal Elder. 

The goblin cavalrymen led by the elderly goblin had already spread their encirclement, waiting for Viviana to enter the trapping range before closing the net.

Due to the flight capabilities provided by his "Flame Wings," Cardinal Elder arrived at Viviana's location faster than the Elderly Goblin Shaman. However, when he was about to help Viviana, he found himself in a dilemma. 

Cardinal Elder clearly saw that Viviana's physical condition was far from optimistic, with multiple cuts and arrow wounds on her body, evidently inflicted while being pursued by the Goblin Wolf Riders.

If Cardinal Elder were to use his wide-range flame abilities directly, he might endanger Viviana's life while eliminating the goblins. 

Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon the fastest combat method, descend near Viviana, and wield the Bloodfire Demonblade - Dearborn to methodically eliminate the Goblin Wolf Riders one by one.

Several minutes later, Cardinal Elder finally secured a breathing space for Viviana and immediately unleashed a wide-range flame ability to eliminate the remaining pursuers. 

However, he was still a step too slow.

After dealing with the "Goblin Wolf Cavalry Commander's" troops, the "Elderly Goblin Shaman's" forces had already encircled them from the other side. Each cavalryman was protected by a layer of fire-resistant magic barrier, clearly a countermeasure specifically targeting Cardinal Elder by the leading Elderly Goblin Shaman. 

Subsequently, under the delaying and guerrilla tactics of the Elderly Goblin Shaman, Cardinal Elder was unable to end the battle quickly. Moreover, being skilled in offense but not defense, he could not safely escort Viviana away.

In the end, as the Goblin Ruler charged toward them, Cardinal Elder was still locked in a stalemate with the Elderly Goblin Shaman.

The situation seemed to be irreversibly spiraling toward the worst possible outcome.

.

Seeing the worried Cardinal Elder, Viviana knew she had become a burden. 

During this mission, she had neither reached the labyrinth boss as her family had requested nor completed the tasks assigned by the two elders, escaping the labyrinth alone. 

Viviana now felt utterly ashamed, having once thought her family overly conservative and cautious, believing she had the strength to confront the labyrinth boss.

In her current state, if she were to face the labyrinth boss alone, she would undoubtedly be reduced to mere pieces.

At this moment, Viviana was severely injured, with multiple wounds that, although not life-threatening, caused her to lose a significant amount of blood. Her once rosy lips were now as pale as paper, and there was hardly any color left on her face or body.

Moreover, her already scarce magic power was further diminished by the area curse magic cast by the Elderly Goblin Shaman. Since being affected by this curse, Viviana could clearly feel her remaining magic power dwindling every few minutes. At this rate, she would faint from magic exhaustion in less than fifteen minutes.

— (If I'm already a burden while conscious, once I pass out, I'll definitely drag the Cardinal Elder down...!)

Viviana racked her brain for a solution while fleeing, trying to figure out a way to escape and not burden the two elders any further. 

Then, she thought of a plan.

"Elder!" Viviana quickly approached the Cardinal Elder and concisely explained her plan. 

After a few seconds of contemplation, the Cardinal Elder decisively agreed with Viviana's idea. 

"Viviana, don't disgrace the Scarlet Family's reputation." 

"Rest assured, Elder, I will succeed this time."

·

Viviana's plan was simple: she intended to abandon her escape towards the labyrinth entrance and hide temporarily, waiting for the two elders to create a better situation before making her escape. 

This would free the Cardinal Elder, allowing him to fight using his preferred tactics.

As long as the two elders could regroup, even in such a dire situation, they would still have a chance to create an opportunity to escape.

As for the hiding method, Viviana had previously discovered a narrow entrance and a complex interior structure in a ravine nearby. 

Even if the enemy were to follow the tracking light pillar to find her, it would be difficult for them to enter the ravine and locate Viviana in a short amount of time. Coincidentally, Viviana had already recognized the path to the ravine!

Thus, under the protection of the Cardinal Elder, Viviana weaved through the bushes and trees, swiftly heading towards the concealed ravine.

·

At the same time, in the same forest, Tyler and Moto-chan were dumbfounded. 

Tyler had thought that once he escaped the goblin fortress, he would be far away from those outrageous monsters. 

However, he had barely run far with Moto-chan when the monsters began rushing towards the fourth light pillar. If Tyler hadn't known that he hadn't been exposed, he would have thought the monsters were chasing him.

Nevertheless, even without considering those old monsters, there were still many Goblin Wolf Riders in the mountains, forcing Tyler and Moto-chan to constantly dodge while tracking the fourth light pillar. 

As the Goblin Wolf Riders' encirclement shrank, Tyler was about to face an inescapable battle. 

But just then, they fortuitously discovered a concealed ravine that seemed like a suitable hiding place!
