The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 558: Meeting I

Act 2: Athena's Hero/Gluttony of the Gods

"Is there something wrong, Souta?" Isabella asked with a confused expression. She saw his eyes were changing forms. It felt like there was a dark starry space hidden beneath those paid of eyes.

"N-Nothing... Call me when everyone is ready?" Souta said and he shook his head.

"I understand. Your condition is still not good so advise you to rest for a while. Your body is strong so you can probably recover some of your strength in an hour." Isabella said to him before she left the room.

Souta tried to adjust his vision to normal. The things that he could see with these eyes were far from ordinary. Even the invisible shackles that were binding the mortal's body were visible to him.

He could accurately see the power level of his opponents and the mana that they had in their mana pool. These two pieces of information would be useful in battles. He could even see the flow of mana in a person's body, so when a person was going to use a huge attack he will know it immediately.

His energy sense was already high and now his eyes were transformed.

"I should try it once again..."

To use this pair of eyes, he doesn't need any mana or best feram at all. That's why it was useful.

His eyes rotated and changed its forms once again. Right now, various constellations were forming in this pair of eyes. The things that he could perceive at this moment were different from before.

He was looking at the space. Yes, the space where he was in. This whole space was perceived by his eyes. He moved his hand to touch it but he realized that it wasn't enough. Even though he could perceive the space, he still didn't have enough power level to touch it. Those gods were the only creatures that could do it. They could break the space with their strength and moved faster than anything.

'These are... the dimensional boundaries...'

After exploring the power of his eyes, he found that he could even see the boundaries. He was flabbergasted by how much he could see.

This whole legacy was unbelievable.

His eyes turned back to normal before he opened the system interface once again. It was time to see the benefits of integrating this pair of eyes called [Galaxy Eyes].

[You've successfully integrated the Galaxy Eyes!]

[Your Strength, Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality had increased by 50!]

[Your Health, Energy, and Stamina Recovery had increased by 20!]

The increase in stats wasn't as great as [Nebula Heart]. The true prowess of [Galaxy Eyes] wasn't visible to a mere status. His eyes could see the truth and lies around him.

It means that illusions wouldn't work on him anymore. He could even see if someone was telling lies or not. He could even see the dreams of the creatures around him. He just wasn't sure if this would work on gods. The gods were different from mortals and the power they held could probably bypass his vision.

But then, he realized one thing... That all the body parts that he got from the legacy will resonate once he integrates all of them. It means that his ocular ability will grow and the best feram he could store in his heart will increase. A mere 1,000 points of best feram will be too low for him in the future.

Sigh...

He was looking forward to his strength in the future but not the events. He will make sure that he would survive no matter what happens.

Soon, Alice had returned to his room. She looked at him with a strange expression. She felt that something had changed in the time she was gone. But she couldn't describe it.

She shook her head and said, "Souta, they are ready..."

Souta glanced at him before he nodded. He slowly moved his arms, then his feet, before he stood up. He could barely walk in his current condition. Even the protective energy around his body was gone so B-rank would be able to damage him. Although he was weak people at C-rank couldn't hope to damage his tough flesh. Only B-rank above had the ability to do that.

"Do you want me to support you?" Alice asked as she tilted her head.

"No, it's fine. I can handle it." Souta shook her head. He smiled and left the room with Alice.

...

In the main room, Franklin and the others immediately lowered their head when Souta came in. Unlike him, the others look like they were fine after experiencing such battle but he knows that everyone here had a hard time.

Even the green dragon, Doranjan, look unscathed. In the battle against the Clan Leader, Rowan cleanly sliced Doranjan's arm along with his wing. It's just that his body parts already regenerated thanks to his parasite.

Souta could see that they weren't in a condition to have another big battle. With his eyes, he could perceive the amount of energy left in their body.

Only the Red Dragon was covered in injuries among the people present in this room.

Souta sat on the seat in the center before he said, "Good work everyone, you can lift your head."

He leaned back and felt a slight pain assault his body. It's worse. Every time he made contact with an object it felt like a thousand needles were poking him. If his pain tolerance was low then he would be writhing on the ground at this moment.

Hu~

Taking a deep breath, he turned his eyes to Torkez and said, "Torkez, tell me the details..."

Torkez already knew what he was going to say. A projection appeared before everyone's eyes. It was the details of the battle.

"Regarding this battle, we've lost a total of two hundred twenty one people, thirty nine of these are monsters that Yuko and Doranjan brought. We've left with five hundred eighteen humans and demi while the monster still had eighty one left. A total of five hundred ninety nine forces."

Torkez paused for a moment as the projection changed into several numbers. Follow current s on No(v)elFire.net

"Among the five hundred ninety nine people left, four hundred thirty seven of them are heavily injured and the rest took slight injuries. It's already great that they didn't die on the battlefield considering that the opponents are stronger and faster. Also, unlike us, those humans, demis, and monsters didn't have parasites in their bodies. They are prone to death."

Eztein was new so he considered his position in this group. He just went on the corner and listened to Torkez's explanation without voicing his opinion.

He glanced at Yenxa, the only person he knew in this room aside from Souta and Amanda, but this little girl wouldn't even talk to him.

"The casualties this time are more on my side. I trained my subordinates as assassins they aren't that good in close-quarter combat." Franklin said as he glanced at Torkez.

"Yeah, you trained them as assassins but you aren't fighting like them. You should've trained them a little so that they could defend themselves in a close-range battle. I saw that most of your assassins died after they failed to assassinate the witches." Torkez said to Franklin.

"It's not the time. They haven't even mastered assassination so how are they going to learn other things. If they became master assassins then I will thoroughly train them to be able to keep up with me in a fight." Franklin said with a grin. He could imagine those subordinates of his getting stronger capable of removing his boredom.

That's what his goal is. If he couldn't find an opponent then he will train someone that could fight him anytime. Oho! A really good plan.

Souta raised his hand and everyone shut their mouth. They looked at him waiting for his words.

"It's fine. Torkez, just let Franklin do what he wants to his subordinates. Also, gather all the people that reach B-rank." He turned to Doranjan and Yuko before he continued, "Gather monsters that could rival B-rank. You know the requirements of the parasitic essence eater so I'll leave it in to your hands. I guess that it's time that we follow the Great Astley Empire's footstep. I'm going to build an army using parasites and this army will dominate our opponents with their unrivaled regeneration ability."

"We understand!!!" Everyone said at the same time. Their loud voice shook the whole room.

"I have a suggestion, Lord Souta." Torkez stepped forward and kneeled down in front of him.

"Speak." Souta raised his eyebrows wondering what Torkez wanted to say.

"I wanted to create a research team. This time, the Mana Convergent Bomb helped us a lot in decreasing the opponent's forces. The research team will focus on advancing our technological weapon like the Mana Convergent Bomb. I wanted to improve the Guardian Fortress firepower and the force field that it could deploy." Torkez explained.

"Oh, that's a good suggestion. I'm not against it so you can do what you want. Just don't forget to report to me the details of the research. I wanted to help in this research too." Souta said with a wide smile.. "I have tons of ideas in my mind."
