The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 324 - Torment

[Hyper Domination Punch]!

Juds threw a powerful punch at him. The air spun around and it produced sharp winds.

Swoosh!

Souta quickly moved to the side to avoid the punch and a black cloak formed on his body.

[Shadow Cloak]!

He tightly clenched his fist and delivered a powerful blow at Juds’ stomach.

Bang!

"Argh!" Juds groaned in pain but he still launched several punches at Souta.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta swiftly moved his body from side to side as he evaded all the punches that were thrown at him.

"I already said it before. You’re not prepared to fight me."

He lifted his feet and kicked Juds’ side.

Bang!

After that, Souta grabbed Juds’ wrist and shot a punch at his face before he threw him on the ground.

Swoosh!

Juds fell towards the ground at high speed before he crashed causing the ground to vibrate once again.

Boom!

Souta looked down as he squinted his eyes. He then flew down at high speed as several black balls appeared behind him.

Just like what he expected, Juds came out of the smoke to intercept him.

Swoosh!

Juds launched his fist forward and Souta threw a punch. Their fist contained boundless energy that low-level adventurers couldn’t imagine. For them, their attacks were the most powerful and beautiful that they’ve ever seen in their entire life.

Both of their fists collided causing a ripple in the air. It distorted the whole area and shockwaves followed it.

BOOM!

The surrounding adventurers retreated as they saw a figure crashed on the ground once again. A powerful explosion that devastated several houses occurred.

"This is bad...!"

"Some of the civilians are going to die at this rate."

The adventurers talked to each other.

Cracks formed on the ground like a spider crack and they quickly moved away.

Boom!

"Look!!"

"It seems that the young man from before is really a B-rank!!"

"And from the looks of it, it seems that young man is stronger than the guild master!!"

The smoke dispersed and it revealed Souta’s figure who was stepping on the guild master’s chest. The guild master was coughing a huge amount of blood while glaring at Souta.

Souta raised his feet and stomped Juds’ chest.

Bang!

"Argh!!" Juds groaned in pain as his body went deeper into the ground.

"You’re weak than the B-rank that I’ve fought before. Comparing to B-rank, you’re powers are pretty average." Souta said as he looked down at Juds who was the guild master of the Rensmaw branch guild. "I guess this is expected from a guild master of a backward village."

Even Wesler that he fought in the Ladros Institute was stronger than this B-rank.

"You!!" Juds grew angrier at Souta’s provocation.

"You said you will report me, right? In fact, I should be the one to report you as you are siding with a criminal organization." Souta said to Juds.

"I’m not siding with a criminal organization!!" Juds shouted at Souta.

He didn’t want to admit that he was with the criminal organization. If he admitted it, then he would lose. Souta would have a reason to kill him.

He then grew silent as he heard several footsteps coming in this direction.

"Souta!!"

Souta turned his head and saw Lumilia, Lynn, Alice, and Yujin walking towards him. They were looking at him and the guild master with a confused expression.

"This one is the guild master of this branch guild. He’s with the people that kidnapped Cl.u.s.ter but he doesn’t want to admit it." Souta said as he introduced the man beneath his feet.

"I’m not with them!" Juds spoke as he turned his head to Lumilia and the rest before he added, "Believe me, this man is just accusing me! He doesn’t have the evidence!"

"You’re still saying that..." Souta sighed as he turned to Juds and said, "Allow me to reintroduce myself today. I’m Souta Ieshi, the commander of the Dark Oculus Legion. These are the members of my legion so you can’t hope them to side with you."

"You’re a legion leader...?!" Juds opened his eyes widely and his mouth hung.

"You would know about it if that receptionist properly read my information in my ID," Souta sighed and said, "I’m quite famous among the circle of adventurers in the Hebrei Kingdom so I think a lot of people would go to my side to curry my favor than go to your side to oppose me."

"Damn!" Juds gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Lumilia, Lynn, Alice, and Yujin. Close your eyes if you don’t want to see what I’m going to do. Right, if you don’t want to see you can just prevent any people from coming here." Souta said as he glanced at them.

Lynn lowered her head. She wanted to watch but she doubted herself that she could take it.

A hand pressed on her shoulder. She looked over and saw that it was Lumilia.

"I’ll go with you," Lumilia said to her.

"Thank you, Mila." Lynn left the area with Lumilia.

Souta looked at their back. After they disappeared he turned his head to Yujin and Alice. "What about the two of you?"

"It’s not a problem to me," Yujin said as he shrugged his shoulder.

"Me too," Alice said.

"Okay. Then..." Souta turned his head to Juds with a wide smile on his face.

Juds had a bad feeling about this when he saw Souta’s creepy smile.

The ground turned into black as black tentacles rose. It slowly bound his four limbs until he couldn’t move his body.

"I will not let you die until you tell us what you know. The girl that was kidnapped is one of my people so I’m not going to let it slide easily. If you’re going to slow me down then I will have no choice but cut all of your limbs and feed it to the monster out there." Souta said in a cold tone. His murderous intent was slowly seeping out of his body. He was ready to kill any suspicious person that has the probability of being involved with that organization.

"I don’t know what you’re saying!!" Juds was stubborn as he kept denying everything that Souta said.

"You’re making me stupid. I saw your reaction in that instant. You wouldn’t react if you don’t have any idea about it."

Souta raised his right feet and gathered his mana. He then heavily brought down on Juds’ arm.

Bang!

Once again he stomped on Juds’ arm. Loud cracking sound and Juds’ scream echoed in the whole area.

"ARGHHHH!!"

"I’M NO-AAHHHH!!"

"NOOO!!"

After a few minutes, Juds’ right arm was turned into a pulp. His bones were crushed into powder. He wouldn’t be able to use his right arm in his entire life if he didn’t receive treatment at this moment.

"Are you going to tell me where they went or not?" Souta said in a cold tone.

"I-I don’t... Arghhh!!" Juds didn’t even finish his sentence as Souta started to smashed his left arm.

"NOOOO!!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of bones cracking echoed in the whole area along with Juds’ scream. Souta wouldn’t show mercy to the people who don’t cooperate with him. It was especially to those people involved in harming his people.

He hasn’t managed to discover Cl.u.s.ter’s true identity and those people were going to take her away from him.

"You’re too stubborn. If you just tell us what you know then you wouldn’t experience this pain." Souta said to him. He already crushed his two arms but he was still holding on.

Souta glanced at Alice and said, "Use healing potion to heal his arms and I’ll use [Light Heal]. We’ll repeat this process until he gave us what we wanted."

Alice nodded and she took out a bottle with red liquid inside. She opened it and poured the liquid on Juds’ wounds. At the same time, Souta was using [Light Heal] to speed up the healing process.

After a few seconds, Juds’ hands returned but it wasn’t completely healed. The potion they use was just a low grade and [Light Heal] was a tier 1 spell. It couldn’t heal broken bones.

Souta repeated the process of crushing Juds’ arms and healing it for an hour.

Juds couldn’t even speak properly after screaming for an hour. He fainted dozens of times but Souta quickly woke him up. He realized that this man who was called Souta didn’t care about him being a guild master of a branch guild. For him who had a legion, a small guild master was nothing.

’This guy is too stubborn. I could only admire his will...’ Souta looked at Juds in amazement. He was a little bit surprised that Juds could hold for a long time.

’His determination and will are outstanding.’ Saya’s voice sounded in his mind.

Souta sighed and said, "I’m amazed. If you’re not involved in that criminal organization I would want to recruit you in my legion."

"DADDY!!"

"LET GO OF ME!! I NEED TO GO WHERE DADDY IS!!"

A voice of a child echoed and it gathered everyone’s attention.

"Hmm...?" Souta, Yujin, and Alice turned their head and saw Lumilia carrying a little girl.

The girl was struggling but she was too weak to free herself from Lumilia’s arms so she could only just shout to her father. Still, Lumilia was being careful so that she wouldn’t harm the little girl. With her strength, a little bit of force could injure the girl.

"That child..." Souta turned his head to Juds and smiled, "...is yours, right?"

"W-What... a-are... you p-planning...?" Juds showed a different emotion when Souta said those words.

’Are you planning to harm that child?’ Saya asked.

’Nope, she’s innocent so I will not harm her but I will use her to scare the guild master.’ Souta replied to her.
