The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 130 - Chain Quest: I don't have any plans or agendas

Roar!!

A loud roar echoed in the whole area that shook the ground. It startled every knight including those knights that were about to attack Souta.

Madan looked at his two comrades that stopped and he shouted, "Don’t be distracted in front of an enemy!!"

The two knights regained their composure. They bent their knees and took a distance away.

But they were already too late.

Two large cuts appeared on their chest. It spurted out a large amount of blood before the tentacles-like shadows emerged on their feet and strangled their bodies.

Souta smiled as he knew that Yuko arrived to help him in this situation. With Yuko’s help, he would be able to last longer and killed some of the knights of the Vidrato Family. Also, the Gale Group would arrive soon so he doesn’t need to worry unless there’s an unexpected thing that will appear to help the knights.

"Die!" Souta looked at the two knights and closed his palm. The tentacles-like shadows that were restraining them tightened.

"Argh!!"

The two knights groaned in pain as the shadows around them tightened threatening to crush their bodies.

"Free them!!" Madan immediately moved his body and rushed towards Souta to save his two comrades. He jumped in the air and slashed his sword.

"[Six Fold Slash]!!"

Six flashes of light when towards Souta at high speed.

Souta looked at it and squinted his eyes. He raised his palm and several tentacles-like shadows appeared. He controlled these shadows and it blocked Madan’s skill.

Boom!!

Madan continued to push forward the shadows that were blocking his way. His power was really great and it almost reached the realm of B-rank.

Souta frowned and his shadows tightened up around the two knights. He gripped his sword as he prepared himself to clash against Madan once he passed through the shadows.

It was hard to kill the elite knights than the ordinary knights that he killed before. Their body was tougher and their strength was higher, so it was hard to crush them using [Shadow Bind] spell, which was a spell for binding opponents.

If he was a Rank 3 Mage then his [Shadow Bind] spell would have enough to easily crushed these elite knights.

Souta saw the other four knights of the Vidrato Family dashed forward to help their two comrades.

"Yuko!" Souta shouted and Yuko charged towards the four elite knights.

He knew that Yuko couldn’t match that four elite knights on her own. At the very least, she would last two minutes from the four elite knights and that’s if she used every strength she had.

Roar!

Yuko roared loudly and she used her trait skill. She opened her mouth widely and a ball of flames formed. It spun like a razor before it expanded.

[Burning Shout]!!

She used the trait skill that she gained as a Red Fur Bear. It was a powerful attack and an AOE skill.

The flames spread wide enough to the point that the four elite knights have no choice but to face her skill. They couldn’t avoid the flames because of its wide range.

Two of the four elite knights turned around. They used combat arts to increase their defense before placing a barrier in front of them. They used combat arts because even if the barrier collapsed they still have protection around them.

They were going to defend against Yuko’s trait skill while the other two knights will rescue their comrades.

The flames hit the barrier they erected and they endured it for their comrades.

...

Souta opened his left palm and a black ball formed on top of it. He then canceled the [Shadow Bind] that was holding Madan.

"Wha-" Madan was surprised when the tentacles-like shadows suddenly vanished into thin air but he quickly regained his composure as he saw Souta threw a black ball of energy in front of him.

He reacted quickly by shifting his head to the side and the black ball of energy passed beside his head.

Swoosh!!

’As expected of him. He still managed to avoid it in that range.’ Souta thought and he waved his sword towards Madan.

Madan also swung his sword and both of their swords collided causing sparks to flew between their swords.

Clang!

Souta and Madan pulled back their swords before they clashed once again.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

They were so fast that every time they swung their swords it was followed by a gust of wind.

Just like last time, Madan suppressed Souta in sword fights.

Souta’s [Sword Mastery] was level 3 and Madan was suppressing him. It means that he was higher than Souta in terms of pure sword skills. It just that Souta has an advantage in basic attacks like this. The added damage of his [Sword Mastery] skill stacked up with his [Corruption] traits. That’s why he could damage Madan even with normal attacks. Plus, the sharpness of the [Vajra Sword Saya] was higher than any sword.

If not for all of this, Souta wouldn’t be able to hurt someone at Madan’s level, who was clearly above him, with his normal attacks.

Every second, small cut appeared on Souta’s body. The blue grade leather armor that he was wearing was in tottered.

"Sir Madan, we’ve managed to rescue them!" The two knights shouted as they managed to rescue the knights from the tentacles-like shadows.

"Good," Madan muttered as he smiled and slashed his sword at Souta.

"Good." Souta also smiled at Madan as the sword an inch closer to his face.

But something unexpected happened...

His sword slashed the thin air as Souta vanished in front of him.

"What the..." Madan was stunned he recalled Souta’s smile.

’Teleportation spell, but he was looking at him when he vanished.’ Madan thought as he tried to figure out how did Souta vanished.

A tier 1 teleportation spell called [Blink] was a spell that could teleport the user to a dozen meters away from his position. Also, he could only teleport to the place that he was looking at.

But Souta was looking straight at Madan’s eye, so it was impossible to use [Blink].

It only means that Souta used different teleportation spells.

Madan recalled the black ball of energy that Souta threw before.

’Damn! Then, he’s targeting my subordinates.’ Madan thought as he gritted his teeth and he turned around.

"Ugh!"

He felt a warm feeling forming in his mouth. He looked down and saw Souta’s sword on his chest.

"Argh!"

Madan groaned and spat a mouthful of blood. He looked up and saw Souta was grabbing two of his comrades in their neck.

Slowly, the tentacles-like shadows rose up from the ground. It slowly strangled the bodies of the two knights.

"Let them go!" Madan said as blood flow down from his mouth. He then raised his hand and grabbed the sword that was on his chest.

He was about to pull it out when he felt something.

Thud! Thud!

He fell on his knees as he felt his heart thump wildly. The world he was seeing was slowly turning around and his whole body was slowly going numb.

"W-What’s happening to me?" Madan said with great effort. The temperature of his body was rising and then it will go down.

He gritted his teeth and lifted up his head. He looked at Souta with clear anger in his eyes. Suddenly, his vision turned completely red like a blood. He felt intense pain coming from his eyes and it followed up by blood flowing out of it.

"Argh!!"

Madan screamed as he held his head using both of his hands. He then heard a female voice whispering beside him.

"Give your body to me and you will not feel any of this pain. I assure you in my name that you will no longer feel pain once you entrust your body to me."

"Get the hell out of my head!!" Madan screamed as he continued to hear the voice of a woman in his head.

Souta turned around when he heard Madan’s loud voice.

"Hmm...? So that how it is..." A smile appeared on Souta’s face while looking at Madan. He then closed his palm and the shadows tightened around the bodies of the two knights behind him.

Crack!

A loud cracking sound echoed behind him. The shadows crushed all the bones of the two knights and killed them.

Souta ignored it as he walked towards Madan.

"You know, there’s a crazy will inside that sword so you shouldn’t have hold it," Souta said before he grabbed the handle of the [Vajra Sword Saya] and pulled it out.

He looked at the sword and said, "You’ve unconsciously activated the possession skill when you hold it, or maybe the will inside the sword help you. Just what are you planning, Saya."

Suddenly, a voice rung inside Souta’s mind. "Ufufu, I’m just helping you defeat him. I don’t have any plans or agendas."

Souta didn’t expect that the [Vajra Sword Saya] would reply to his words. It was truly unexpected that it caught him off guard.

’I’ll worry about you later.’ He shook his head and looked at Madan who was breathing heavily.
