THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

The group currently looked battered and messy with body appearances; their faces looked almost lifeless, and dark circles could be seen under their eyes, but their gazes remained as vigilant as ever; as Nexulytes above the Mortal King rank, it wasn\'t too much to go a few days without sleep.

Luckily, they didn\'t have to worry about starving to death since all of them each had a storage device with enough supplies to last them a week if consumed gradually.

During the past three days, aside from facing tons of monsters inside the labyrinth, there had been many occasions when the members of the group had to escape and hide after encountering some monsters.

This scene was even more frequent with Clint who was still healing from the injuries that he received from the Nightmaw.

Although Nexulytes had self-healing abilities that were far superior to that of normal humans, it would still take a while for them to heal from serious injuries if they didn\'t get treatment from medical personnel or someone with healing-type talent.

At times when Clint encountered a large group of powerful monsters or a single strong one and there was no route to escape to, he would create a veil of darkness to cover himself and stay quietly in a corner.

The veil of darkness was perfectly able to mask his presence and hide his scent, making it impossible for the monsters to detect him even when they walked right in front of him.

He would only attack when he ran into weaker monsters.

It was better to deal with them using shadow spikes or shadow tentacles than covering himself with a veil of darkness as the latter ability required more Nexus energy to be spent, and the longer he sustained the veil, the more energy he spent; this would only end up exhausting him even more.

One thing that he was thankful for though, was that he didn\'t encounter any other Nightmaw or a creature with darkness/shadow elements; he would have been done for.

After three days in the labyrinth, Clint had gotten four Nexus crystals. He had gotten three from a group of weak pig-like monsters, the monsters were so weak that he had killed them by just pressuring them with Nexus energy.

This was why the saying that \'Finding Nexus crystal was purely based on luck\' was a very popular saying amongst Nexulytes.

Who would have expected him to acquire such valuable items from such monsters? Even an ordinary person might be able to kill them if they make enough preparations.

As for the crystals that he had collected, Clint stored all of them; he would know whether to absorb them or sell them after leaving the dreamscape, that was if he could make it out alive because….

Currently, it was the last shift after three hours, and according to their understanding of the labyrinth, there should not be any more shifts for the next hour.

Clint, who was hiding behind a veil of darkness that he had created, sighed helplessly.

He was currently inside an enormous space that was about a hundred meters wide, and a large red eyeball that was as huge as a land carrier floated around the place.

Clint had been unfortunate and found himself here after the last shifting of the labyrinth.

The huge eyeball had spotted him before he was able to create his veil of darkness, which was why it was currently floating around the place with a ray of yellow light shining from its enormous pupil; it was looking for Clint!

"Damned labyrinth" Clint mumbled under his breath, sweat gathering on his forehead.

The veil of darkness was consuming his Nexus storage at a fast rate, he might be left with little to nothing by the time the one hour was over; what would he do if he encountered another of such monsters after the labyrinth shifted again?

\'I should worry about that after surviving this first, not like I have another choice; things might be different if the team was still together but I wonder if those people are still alive, Ivan probably should, and maybe that dude called Ralph\'

Clint thought to himself as he tried to distract himself by thinking of the others.

What he didn\'t know was that he wasn\'t the only one in a tight spot.

A certain girl with a ponytail who had been experiencing special treatment from the dreamscape during the first day in the labyrinth had finally used up her lucky free trial and had begun to face the horrors of the labyrinth.

Bang!!

A huge rock fist smashed into the ground immediately after Karin moved away from the place.

She appeared beside the owner of the fist the next moment with her mallet swinging behind her.

BOOM!!

Karin\'s mallet smashed into a pair of huge rocky arms before sending their owner flying backward.

Karin dropped to her knees after sending whatever she had just hit flying back, her face covered in sweat and her lips stained with blood.

Opposite her stood a tall golem that was about 6 meters tall and had an armored body; the rock limbs of the golem were longer than usual, which helped it to make nimble movements, and its head had just a single square-shaped eye that glowed with red light.

It was a Gavelorn!

The Gavelorn was a golem covered in sand armor, despite its size, it was known for its ability to move silently on the ground and was able to create quake sand!

The golem flew back for twenty meters after receiving the hit from Karin\'s mallet; it landed lightly on the ground before dashing at Karin again, its legs lightly tapping on the ground as it crossed the distance between them in less than five seconds.

Immediately after reaching Karin, the girl swung her mallet at it while the golem smashed down with its hand.

BOOM!

Both the mallet and the hand of the golem collided, filling the space with a deafening sound.

Immediately after the collision, Karin suddenly felt the ground below her turn soft and her leg sank into it.

She looked down in shock and the golem took the chance to attack her again. Sensing the feeling of death approaching, Karin lifted her mallet and placed it in front of her without looking.

With a bang, a powerful force crashed into her mallet and sent her flying away like a broken kite. Karin crashed into the blood wall on the other side and a pained scream escaped her lips as more blood flew out.

Landing weakly on the ground, Karin watched the golem approaching with slightly dizzy eyes.

"Not…yet" she mumbled to herself as her hand that was holding the mallet trembled.
