The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 135 - Chain Quest: Arrival

Lumilia was in a bad situation right now as the knights of Vidrato and Asvares Family were around her. They didn’t even leave some space for her to escape.

The knights surround the whole inn and blocked the door.

"Young miss, don’t resist anymore. You will not gain anything from leaving the city." A young knight of the Asvares Family said to Lumilia.

"So you’re asking me to marry someone I didn’t even know!" Lumilia replied in a loud voice. "I will not go back to the mansion no matter what happens."

"Then, we will use force to bring you back." The young knight said to Lumilia.

"Did my father order you that?" Lumilia asked as she narrowed her eyes.

She glanced at the window and thought about what she should do to escape from these knights. The door was blocked by the knights and there were knights surrounding the inn from all directions. They basically cornered her.

Also, the man that Souta kidnapped before was also in this room. He was still unconscious.

"Yes, we have no choice but to obey your father’s order." The young knight said to Lumilia in an apologetic tone.

"I’m sorry too..." Lumilia said before she casted a spell.

[Water Serpent]!!

A serpent made of water materialized and it blew the ceiling of the room.

Boom!!

Lumilia jumped to the hole that she created on the ceiling of the room.

"Quick, catch young miss!" The young knight shouted. They rushed inside the room and saw that it was covered in smoke.

The young knight then saw the hole in the ceiling. "Damn! The young miss escape from the roof! Look out for her!"

"Don’t worry the lord is there that’s why I didn’t position any of the knights there." The knight of the Vidrato Family.

"By Lord, you mean..." The young knight turned his head with widened eyes.

"Yes..." The knight of the Vidrato Family nodded.

...

Tap!

Lumilia landed on the roof and saw someone waiting for her on the roof. She saw a chubby man with short yellow hair and yellow color eyes. This man was none other than the head of the Vidrato Family, Gregory Vidrato.

"Nice try, Lumilia," Gregory said with a smile.

"W-Why are you..." Lumilia muttered in disbelief while looking at Gregory. She subconsciously took a step backward.

"Why I’m here? Hmm... Of course, it’s to prevent you from leaving this city. You’re the fiancee of my son, after all." Gregory said as he placed his finger on his chin. "Of course, there’s that... I also want to see the face of that young man when his plan goes awry because of my appearance here."

Gregory then shrugged his shoulder and said, "He should be honored as a family head like me personally make a move just to stop his plan. He should be content about that."

’I’m in trouble right now. There’s no way I could escape with him chasing after me.’ Lumilia thought as she tried to rack her brain to find a way to escape.

"Wait!" Gregory said and he placed his hand inside his pocket. He took out a piece of yellow paper. This paper was emitting a dim yellow light.

"Hmm... What’s wrong, Foud?" Gregory asked. He talked to the person from the other side of the talisman while looking at Lumilia.

After a while, they finished talking and Gregory placed back the talisman in his pocket.

"Tsk! I miscalculated! To think that brat have something like that! Foud and Aldine aren’t enough to capture him. I should’ve brought Grino instead of these trashes. Grino could even kill a monster with a monster orb alone." Gregory said in an annoyed tone. He then took a deep breath and added, "Well, it doesn’t even matter. Even if he have that power boost, he still couldn’t match me with that strength."

Lumilia listened to their conversation the whole time. Well, she couldn’t avoid it as their voice was loud as if they were telling her to listen to them. So she clearly understood that Souta used some potion to boost his power to the next level.

She also heard that her father has appeared before Souta. Really, this was getting more complicated and difficult.

There was also the city guard. She was wondering what happened to the city guard, why they didn’t appear until now. She didn’t know that her father already talked to the city lord about this.

While they were thinking some things, a burst of powerful energy interrupted them. It gathered everyone’s attention.

Boom!

Suddenly, they heard a loud booming sound and it was followed by a small earthquake.

"What the hell?" Gregory said in an annoyed tone as. His brows tightened together as he turned his head and looked behind him.

Lumilia looked at the distance where she heard the booming sound and saw the gigantic black tentacles that were larger than normal houses. She was on the rooftop so she could clearly see it and also thanks to the moonlight she could see the black tentacles at night.

"That’s Souta’s spell...?" Lumilia murmured and she glanced at Gregory.

She slowly took a step backward but she found that her feet were frozen.

’In an instant, I didn’t even saw him casted a spell.’ Lumilia thought as she tried to break free but a sudden chill hit her body.

Swoosh!!

The ice on her feet started to spread across her legs. She couldn’t even move her body.

’So this is the power of the head of the Vidrato Family.’ Lumilia thought as she gritted her teeth.

"I’m going to let you sleep for a while," Gregory said while still looking at the dissipating huge tentacles. He didn’t even bother looking at Lumilia. "Come here, take Lumilia and I’ll take care of that brat. How dare he killed my subordinates!"

The knights of the Vidrato Family one by one appeared on the rooftop of the inn.

"Handle her with care. She’s my son’s fiancee." Gregory said.

"Yes, My Lord!!" The knights nodded their heads.

Gregory felt the talisman in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and asked, "What’s wrong, Foud? What happened there?"

But the one who replied to him wasn’t Foud at all. It was a completely different person.

"Hello, hello, by Foud, you mean the knight. He already left and give this to me." A voice of an unfamiliar man sounded in the talisman.

"Who the hell are you?" Gregory asked in an angry tone. His aura was leaking out of his body. He then recalled the only person that could steal the talisman from Foud in that place. "Don’t tell me you are..."

"Ding-Dong! Correct! I’m Souta Ieshi, Rank-D Adventurer at your service! Well... Prepare yourself... I’m coming over there." Souta’s voice sounded happy but it slowly turned cold over the end.

"Hahaha! You’re so funny!" Gregory laughed when he heard Souta’s words. "Do you really think that you could defeat me with your power boost? I’ve already kill dozen of monsters that have monster orb on my own and your weaker compare to them, so how are you going to defeat?"

"I can’t answer your question but well it will work out in the end," Souta said.

While Gregory was talking to Souta, the knights approached Lumilia. They were going to capture her.

’Damnit! I couldn’t move my body in this ice!’ Lumilia cursed inside her head as she couldn’t even move her fingers in her current situation.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the whole area.

"Mila!!"

"Class rep!!"

Lumilia heard those familiar voices and thought that she was hallucinating.

The knights looked up and they saw a group of people in the air heading straight at them.

"Stop them!" The knight shouted as he pointed at the group of people.

But they were too late...

Boom!!

The rooftop exploded as debris of rocks shot up in the air. Smoke and dust covered the whole area.

"Class rep, bear with it for a while!"

Lumilia heard a voice before a large amount of flames swallowed the rooftop including her.

When the ice around her melted the flames immediately disappeared like nothing happened.

"Is this the only reason why you brought me here?"

"No, we have to secure class rep first."

"Ah~ that’s too much trouble. You see the fat man before. That man is strong, I couldn’t defeat him with my current strength."

Lumilia heard the voice that felt like they were quarreling against each other. She couldn’t see clearly because of the smoke but she remembered those voices.

"Bryan, Randolf, stop talking and do your job properly. We need to get Mila first."

A loud voice feminine voice stopped the two. And Lumilia was familiar with this voice. This voice was coming from her friend, Nayo.

"Guys-"

Lumilia was about to say something when a powerful gust of wind swept out the smoke and dust.

Gregory looked at the newly arrived people and said, "I don’t care who you are but I’ll take care of you after I finished talking to the brat here."

He was still talking to Souta through the talisman.

"Let’s stop talking as we need to prevent this man." Randolf chuckled as he looked at Gregory who was looking down at them.
