Leah, who was at the forefront, turned around and glanced at Linda.
Why?
Just as Leah was wondering.
The goblin prince's timid expression suddenly changed.
The monster grinned as it stood up, thrusting out the royal sword!
It is clearly visible that the goblin prince's veins are bulging, like an inflated balloon, and his body is rapidly expanding, growing from three meters to four meters tall.
His eyes turned blood red.
The royal sword in his hand turned an ominous deep black, as if it had been infused with some kind of power.
A terrifying aura emanated from the Goblin Prince!
"What happened?"
Lia and the others all stopped in their tracks.
Linda's guide didn't mention this part, did it?
Only Linda was aware of the current situation.
Linda's eyes narrowed.
A chill ran down his spine.
This is the third stage of the Goblin Prince, the Rage form.
The optimal number of players for exploring this cave is six.
If this happens, the Goblin Prince will trigger the third stage and enter a berserk state.
With all attributes increased, it unleashes a frenzied slaughter on adventurers, instantly raising the difficulty level by one.
This unexpected event wasn't something that would cause Linda any trouble.
With his physique, he could withstand even the wrath of the Goblin Prince.
What truly sent chills down Linda's spine was that when he looked around the dimly lit cave, there were exactly six people in his field of vision, including himself.
Where is the seventh person who triggered the Goblin Prince's third phase of rage hiding?
Even Kaphni failed to detect the other party's presence—as a deity, Kaphni was most sensitive to the aura of evil, such as witches and monsters.
However, if the other party is an adventurer and their level is higher than Kafni's, then Kafni will have a hard time detecting them if she is not on guard.
They hid their way into the goblin cave, secretly observing the battle of the Phoenix... It's hard to say that the other side had no ill intentions.
Linda's brain was racing.
At the same time, he quickly chanted a verdant shield and gave it to Lia, who was at the forefront.
Two attacks came toward the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad.
On one side, there was the goblin prince, who was openly attacking Leah with the royal sword.
The other party...
The space in the shadows of the cave ripples like water.
A man in black robes, holding a short knife, stepped out.
The man in black robes had a cold gaze, his eyes fixed on the member of the Phoenix Flower Clan closest to him: Monica, a mage holding a staff and completely unaware of what was behind her!
...
The Adventurers' Guild, second floor.
Everyone stared at the screen with surprise and uncertainty.
What exactly happened?
Why did the seemingly dying goblin prince suddenly become so energetic, as if he had drunk three large bowls of chicken soup and recovered all at once?
Only a few people guessed the reason.
Bervis was surprised to think that someone was trying to frame the Phoenix.
Baige City appears peaceful on the surface, but beneath the surface, undercurrents are surging.
In the hall, only Halus knew the whole truth.
Why does the Goblin Prince trigger rage?
Where exactly is that person who is hiding?
Halus knows all of this!
Three days earlier, Halus had sent out his stealth-savvy team to track down the Phoenix.
After the promotion party incident, Halus's Ghost Adventurers and the Phoenix Flower completely broke ties.
Like two hunters in a dark forest, since they couldn't guess whether the Phoenix Flower would make a move, they decided to strike first!
While Monica and Chrona were at the Magic Game Center, playing with illusion helmets, Halus's team took the opportunity to leave a mark on Monica.
Then, following Linda and the others, they entered the Goblin Cave.
To avoid being discovered by Linda, all three of Harus's team members were proficient in the dark-type skill "Turtle Breath," making them difficult to detect unless one's level was significantly higher than theirs.
"If you can't handle epic-level monsters, then this guild leader will send you on your way!"
Halus chuckled inwardly with a sinister smile.
On the surface, he pretended to look at the magic screen with 'surprise'.
It seems even he doesn't know why the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad is in this situation.
...
"Ugh!"
Lia blocked the goblin prince's thrust with her greatsword, and the emerald shield in front of her trembled violently and shattered in an instant.
Fortunately, most of the power of the attack was neutralized, and Leah only let out a muffled groan before flying more than ten meters away.
It's more serious than a minor injury, but not quite a serious injury.
But without the Azure Shield...
Leah's face turned pale.
She just disappeared!
“Linda…”
Leah scratched her cheek, wanting to say thank you.
To her horror, she saw two men in black robes emerge from the shadows behind Linda, wielding gleaming curved blades, and shoot towards Linda like arrows released from a bow!
These black-robed figures exuded a formidable aura, around level 26.
Linda seemed completely oblivious, her entire attention focused on Monica in the distance.
Oh no.
Monica is the bait!
Leah felt a chill in her heart.
Linda chanted the incantation for the Azure Shield, preparing to protect Monica.
But in reality, those people's real target was Linda!
The shield provided by the Guardian Sword was completely depleted in the [Stone Rain].
The Azure Shield was reduced to a very thin layer when Linda fought the Goblin Guards.
The shield that Linda chanted was given to Monica, but she couldn't use it on herself!
Leah did not know the exact thickness of Linda's life barrier.
She felt that a level 23 Linda would definitely die if attacked by two level 26 men in black robes.
