The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Two figures crashed into each other. One of the figures had a powerful crimson-colored aura covering his body. While the other one had a blueish aura coating his body.

Bang! Bang!

The two figures continued to crash into each other producing powerful shockwaves to swept out in the whole area. The aftershocks of their collision stirred the atmosphere and it produced extreme winds like a wave of water.

Almost everything in the area around them was destroyed. Even the ground collapsed because of their sheer strength.

Right now, total destruction swallowed the whole Ibish village. The Ibish village was annihilated. Almost ninety percent of the people that were living here died.

In the mid-air, the two figures collided once again. After collided for a dozen times, the crimson and blue figure retreated five meters away from each other.

Souta tightly gripped the vajra sword in his hand. He looked at Gilven with a serious expression. Even now, he still felt intense pain all over his body. It was like someone was drilling his internal organs and pouring boiling water in it. Then, the heat would disappear, and extreme cold would appear.

It was hard to describe the pain that he was feeling.

"I have to hold on for one minute..." Souta said to himself. He knew that his body couldn't handle this much pressure at once. If Yujin didn't use spirit power, Souta was sure that he was dead right now.

The effect of drinking two monster potions at once was extreme.

Gilven didn't know that the reinforcement of the Institute was coming. He had no idea at all. He moved his eyes and glanced at Frels.

He saw Frels nodding at him with a serious expression. Frels was going to join the fight to kill Souta.

The two of them moved at the same time.

When Souta saw this he also moved his body. He charged towards Frels, who was a mage, but Gilven intercepted him.

Bang! Bang!

Once again the two of them collided. The collision between Souta and Gilven were as loud as thunders roaring in the sky. The duel between the two became fierce as they started the most dangerous close combat...

Bang! Bang!

Gilven was determined to kill Souta. Therefore, he exerted his utmost effort since the beginning of their collision. And Souta responded by using everything he got...

Souta became dejected as most of his strike got offset by Gilven. The powerful best feram was disrupting the air flows and corruption started to appear. Even so, Gilven didn't care about it. Gilven fought countless third evolution monster. He even fought some fourth evolution monster. It was not going to work against him as long as Souta didn't penetrate his mana protective shield.

Mana protective shield was a barrier that only powerful creatures in the world possessed. It offset everything that came from weak creatures such as Souta. The monster didn't have the mana protective shield but they have a beast barrier.

The monster would gain this trait once they reached the fourth evolution. That's why no matter how strong a third evolution, they don't have any hope in defeating fourth evolution monsters. That's the same for humans and demis.

Still, the best feram that Souta possessed right now was as dense as the fourth evolution monster even though he doesn't have the traits and stats of that level of monster. Only the best feram reached the level of fourth evolution not him.

Well, it was still enough to pierce Gilven's mana protective shield along with the added power of Yujin. The spirit power was a strong type of energy higher than mana.

Gilven and Souta exchanged blows at high speed causing sparks to fly out between them.

Suddenly, Souta looked up in the sky and saw a huge black ball whirling around. The ball flew towards him creating a disturbance in the air.

"...[Shadow Desolation Ball]!?" Souta recognized the spell in the sky. He checked his surrounding and found that the [Shadow Ball] spells that he scattered before was gone.

It must be the work of Frels. That six-circle officer really calculated his escape route and blocked all of it. No, not all of it as Gilven was still in front of him.

"Damn! That woman!"

He guessed that as long as he got closed to Gilven, Frels wouldn't launch that powerful spell. So he flew towards Gilven and wrestled with him in the air. He didn't dare to retreat as he knew that Frels would attack him once he did that.

This was the only choice that he had.

Gilven was pretty confident in fighting Souta in close combat. Both of them threw their most powerful to each other but Souta was very agile. He moved his body from side to side to avoid getting hit critically.

...

Outside of the village, Randolf was standing while watching the fierce battle. He felt the aftershocks of the battle and the pressure of the best feram.

He didn't care about it as he knew that he wasn't going to fight.

"So that's Souta. He's really a reckless person. To think that he would try to fight these people." He muttered while shaking his head. He didn't think that Souta was this kind of person but what could he say right now. Souta was fighting those people for the lives of his friends.

"Bloodstone... A vampire was cultivating that dreadful stone in this village. No one would ever imagine it."

...

"Hmmm...? Where am I?" Lumilia slowly opened her eyes. She looked around and saw that she was in a grass plain with Alice, Lynn, and Yuko. Yuko? She gazed at Yuko and recalled what happened before.

"Where is Souta?!" Lumilia quickly asked Lynn and Alice with a concern look on her face.

Lynn just lowered her head and didn't answer Lumilia's question.

Lumilia turned to Alice asking the same thing.

Alice pointed at the direction of the village and said, "Souta is still fighting those people."

"What?!" Lumilia turned pale as she recalled how powerful those people. She supported her body as she tried to stand but she was still weak.

Lynn moved and she supported Lumilia.

Alice turned silent when she saw Lumilia's expression. She looked down at her feet and asked herself.

Have I changed?

The gap in their strength wasn't that large. The only difference was that Souta wasn't afraid of taking a risk in fighting a higher level opponent. To fight a higher level opponent, Souta was taking the risk of drinking the monster potion. The drawback of this potion was something that other people wouldn't want to experience yet Souta drunk it without hesitation. He even took two monster potions.

Alice raised her head and saw Lumilia watching the battle. "I will not hesitate anymore..." She muttered in a low voice as she also watched the battle.

"W-We have to help him... I-I can't let him..." Lumilia said while trembling she felt her eyes getting wet. She felt the weakness she experienced from Gripen city.

Souta was always helping her. She thought that she grew stronger but reality slapped her. She doesn't want it. She doesn't want to become a person who always received help from others. At least she wanted to try to help others...

"If I only had monster potions... What can I do?" Lumilia gritted her teeth in anger. She doesn't want to experience this feeling anymore. She recalled that she still had a lot of money left.

Using that money, she would buy something that could help her in an emergency situation like this one. Skills and spells. She would try to acquire those to increase her powers. She would not limit herself anymore.

Determination burned in her heart. She didn't know that at this moment she finally unlocked her potential that opened up her path to the peak. Later on, she would realize that this was the turning point of her fate.

That day when he pulled me out of the grasp of my family and changed my fate - Azure God of the East.

...

Blood splattered as Souta managed to penetrate Gilven's mana protective shield. In return, he took a deep wound on his chest and back. Comparing his injuries to Gilven, he would say that he would die because of his injuries if he didn't treat it.

No matter how many monster potion he drunk, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Gilven. A true higher-level opponent. His current power was just a temporary one. It's not permanent.

The four gravitational balls behind Souta disappeared. Without these black balls, Souta wouldn't be able to float in the mid-air.

He fell down and crashed on the debris of rocks on the ground. Souta sighed as he looked at the huge black ball in the sky. The black ball slowly descended down towards his direction.

"It's a pity... I wanted to know how you modified the [Shadow Bind] and [Shadow Ball] spell." Frels said as she shook her head.

Gilven just looked at Souta on the ground.

"Am I going to die without knowing my past and my real identity...?" Souta muttered to himself as his vision was getting blurred. He then saw a figure descended in front of him.

"It's okay. Listen to my words." The figure said with a grin on his face.

The figure in front of him had short messy blonde hair. He was tall and had an average physique. He was wearing a black pants and a long sleeve shirt of the same color. On top of it was a small dark blue color cloak.

This person didn't have a presence at all. Gilven and Frels couldn't sense him at all. They couldn't understand how this man appeared before them without them noticing him.

When Souta saw this figure he couldn't help but laughed. At the same time, he heard a notification in his mind indicating that he completed the quest.

But that's not important...

The reinforcement of the Institute was one person only. But this person was more than enough. Why? Because he's the strongest.

The Flame Master, Bargan Hevifield.
