The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

In a room, the light was dimmed, and a promiscuous atmosphere permeated through the room.

The sound of gasping and panting could be heard inside blending together. After some time, the woman moaned loudly before she lay down on the bed.

The woman glanced at the person beside her weakly and asked, "You never push this type of thing. Is there any problem?"

Souta lifted himself and say on the side of the bed. "Yeah, it's becoming frequent. My urges. Now, I can subtly hear someone telling me to kill. It's getting worse."

For him, not being able to control emotions was worse. It could even affect him in battle. The worst-case scenario was he could die because of him not being able to control his emotion. He would fall for enemies' tricks easily.

"You can ask Doranjan or Yuko about it. I think they have an idea about your emotional instability since both of them are monsters too." Eilish said before she stood up. She picked up a loose robe and draped it on her shoulder. Then, she took out a pipe from a drawer and lit it up.

"I consulted them but they don't have any idea. It seems that I need to visit those monster lords of Olympus." Souta said with a sigh. He even ask Saya before and she also didn't have any idea. She wasn't a monster nor she didn't have a pet before.

"Are you going to Champion's Den now?" Eilish glanced at him.

"Yeah, I also need to complete some missions. It's been a while since I took some." Souta nodded at her words.

"Are you bringing someone with you?"

"I'll bring Yenxa, Yuko, and Eztein with me."

"I see... Then, I'll stay here."

"Hmm...?" Souta glanced at her while wearing his clothes. "Do you perhaps have any plan to go to Champion's Den?"

"Yes, I want to accept some missions. The mission in the post tower is not good for me. It's for Solidifying and Liquefying Realms. The rewards aren't enough." Eilish answered his question. "I want to exchange my achievement points for Limit Breaking Potion. Apparently, it could enhance an expert's chances of breaking a shackle by ten percent. It's effective for people below the first great shackle."

"You guys sure are lucky. You have various potions and pills that could help you increase your strength faster. Monsters didn't have that sort of benefit. We could only rely on mana fruit to boost our improvement."

"Well, alchemists didn't create those potions and pills with monsters in their minds. They brew or refine those things to sell to humans and demis. Even the weakest humans and demis will buy potions while the weakest monster didn't have high intelligence." Eilish puffed a smoke. She raised her hand and gathered the smoke on the tip of her finger.

They would get executed in some cities.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just make Isabella work harder." Souta smiled.

"I'll stay here and wait for you to complete your mission. Then, I'll go there to take one." Eilish said.

"Okay." Souta waved his hand. He left the room and went to the post tower.

He notified the warriors that he was going to use that portal. The portal was finished. He also didn't forget to notify the people that he was going to bring in his mission.

After some preparations, Souta left the Astros with Yenxa, Yuko, and Eztein. He left all the matters regarding Astros to Alice. She would be able to handle it with Torkez's help.

He needed ample preparations to complete the Chain Quest. Just bursting through it wouldn't be enough. Well, it's within his plan. If he didn't trigger the Chain Quest, he would have gone already after the Tournament of Astros ended.

Speaking of tournament, it seems that Doranjan became the champion. Eilish was the first runner up and Alice was only second to her. Even though Doranjan didn't have various abilities like Souta, he was still a fourth stage monster. Eilish alone wouldn't be able to defeat Doranjan's release form.

Souta and the rest arrived at the other side of the portal. Then, they traveled for several days before they arrived at the Champion's Den. He could use the portal to his destination but it would cost him a fortune. He didn't even have enough wealth with him right now since he used it for building an exclusive portal.

"Finally... We're here at Champion's Den." Eztein exclaimed as he gazed at the bustling city.

"Let's go," Souta said.

The group waited for a few minutes before they could enter the gate. This place was still the same as before. Nothing had changed at all.

They went straight to Athen's Champion. After that, Souta went to Grain Leader Carmel's office. He passed his report about the blood sacrifice and some unknown group lurking in Hall Plains.

"Mm... It might take a while but I'll dispatch available squads. I need to report this to the higher-ups and after getting their approval I'll immediately process this." Carmel said while looking at the report in his hand.

"I'm fine with it." Souta nodded.

"The situation may look good but cracks have already formed." Carmel paused for a moment. "There's even trouble all over our territory and we lacked manpower. Also, the Childer of Zeus just fought an organization at Red Matter's level a month ago. They also encountered another Messenger of Gluttony. Sigh... I don't even know what will happen next. It's no coincidence that a Messenger appears in a short amount of time."

"Maybe, they are planning something big," Souta said even though he knew deep inside what would happen. There may be slight differences but the essence of the event was the same.

"I think so... There's even a report that the einherjar of Valhalla encountered a Messenger. The same for Heavenly Palace and Takamagahara." Carmel pinched the bridge of his nose.

'It's close. I need to thoroughly prepare myself. But any sort of preparation is useless if I met Gluttony on the battlefield.' Souta said inwardly. Messengers of Gluttony were appearing in different parts of God's Continent. The higher-ups should have realized it.

Gluttony of the Gods.

"Be careful, there's a chance that you can meet the Messenger of Gluttony in Hall Plains," Carmel warned him sternly.

"Yeah, that's why I requested some assistance. I'll avoid direct confrontation." Souta nodded. He knew how serious this matter is.

"Good." Carmel sighed as he leaned on his chair.

Souta left Carmel's office. He met with Eztein, Yenxa, and Yuko then they went to the mission counter. He asked about the mission regarding his rank and browse through it.

He saw a bunch of missions but he continued to flip. After a while, he saw what he wanted.

"This... I'm going to take this mission." Souta said as he placed the book in his hand on the desk.

The receptionist received the book with a smile on her face. She recorded his name and the name of his squad. Then, she began to explain the details of the mission.

The mission was to solve the problem in Lerna Island. This island was quite large as it houses three kingdoms. Right now, there was a plunge of undead wandering around the island. It ravaged various towns and villages under the three kingdoms.

"You just need to stop the tide of undead. But be careful sir, three One Shackle Realm warriors and seven Solidifying Realm warriors haven't returned since they took the mission. Also, that place is..." The receptionist wanted to explain further but Souta stopped her.

"I know. It's related to Heracles, right? I know what to do." Souta smiled at her.

"Yes, sir." The receptionist smiled and sighed inwardly. She didn't want any warriors to accept the mission and died without any idea.

That's why she was relieved when Souta knew about the hidden dangers of Lerna Island.

Souta bid farewell to her before he left with the others. He glanced at the system and saw the quest notification.

*Ding!*

[Quest Triggered!]

[Undead]: Stop the undead crisis in Lerna Island.

Rewards: 1,000,000 experience points, 10 free attribute points, and 7 skill points

It's quite difficult but Souta already knew what to do. Plus, the undead tide hasn't gotten worse at this point. Back in the game, dozens of Shackled Realm experts have perished and every living creature on Lerna Island was dead. The undead even crossed the huge river around it and destroyed some of the nearby cities.

Souta, Yenxa, Yuko, and Eztein walked out of the Athen's Champion. They didn't stay in Champion's Den any longer.

They joined some merchant groups and traveled with them.

"So some warriors have gone missing in Lerna Island?" Eztein asked.

"Yeah, if they are still alive. We'll find them there." Souta said in response.Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

"Undead... I wonder why undead appeared there..." Eztein muttered.

Souta simply shrugged his shoulder. He looked at Yenxa and Yuko. "I will send both of you to fight those undeads. It will be a good chance to experience some battles."
