The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

"What do you mean, Souta?" Lumilia sounded confuse at his words.

"I mean we're teleported far away from that place..." Souta said to her.

"Far away...?"

"Yes, we're too far... I mean we're in a sub-world and we don't know [Dimensional Hole] spell so I don't think that we'll return quickly." Souta explained to her and the rest his circumstances.

Lumilia, Lynn, Brando, and Yujin were shocked when they heard that Souta and Alice were in a sub-world.

Lumilia shook her head and asked, "Do you know the coordinates of that sub-world?"

"No, we don't. I'm sure that you understand it. The teleportation spell malfunction and it teleported us to a random world." Souta paused for a moment before he added, "We're already lucky that we've got teleported in a sub-world. If Alice and I got teleported into outer space then the two of us will undoubtedly die since only people who could harden their mana survive in the chaotic space."

"Souta, I will find someone who knows [Dimensional Hole] spells so try to gather information about the coordinates of that sub-world," Lumilia said to him.

"Sure, that's my plan from the beginning. To gather information about this world." Souta smiled as he turned to Alice and asked, "Do you want to talk to them?"

Alice shook her head and said, "I'm going to rest for now."

"S-Souta... Can you tell me about that world...?" Lynn's voice sounded.

Lumilia, Brando, and Yujin were interested in this topic. They haven't gone to a sub-world in their entire life. They only heard stories about it from other people.

"We've just arrived here so the things that I know are limited but sure..." Souta smiled as he lied down.

He slowly told them about his experience today with Alice while looking at the starry sky.

"I've finished talking about my situation. It's your turn to tell what's happening there." Souta said to them as he wanted to know what's happening to them.

"Nothing much. It's noon here and we're in the middle of the road." Yujin's voice sounded.

"So you're going back to Hebrei Kingdom...?" Souta asked. He thought that they were helping the people there stabilized the Blue Lawless City.

"The city will rebuild itself even without our help. The Sea Tower and Cloud Tower will manage it well. The incident about the Moon Tower greatly changed the structures of the city so everything will not stay the same. With the new law that the two towers have established, the Blue Lawless City will become a proper city in the future. It will continue to prosper and it will eventually become a country if the improvement continues."

Lumilia explained to him what happened to the city after the incident where Curdova unsealed Cluster's power.

"I see... If the situation is fine. You can establish a branch of the Dark Oculus Legion in that city." Souta said to her.

"I understand. As the vice-commander of the legion, I will do my best to raise the Dark Oculus Legion in commander's place." Lumilia said to him.

"Yujin, Brando, and Lynn. Be sure to follow Lumilia's instructions. She will be the acting commander while I'm stuck here in the sub-world." Souta said.

"Okay."

"Yes."

"I understand."

The three of them nodded at his words.

"Good. About Cluster... Did she come with the sisters?" Souta asked in a low voice.

"..." Lynn, Lumilia, Brando, and Yujin grew silent at his question. They became dejected when they heard the name Cluster.

After a few moments, Lumilia opened her mouth and said, "The sisters took her. We couldn't do anything as the True God's Holy Kingdom is her home. Cluster gave us a talisman before she left. With this, she could sense us the moment we enter the True God's Holy Kingdom's territory."

"It's not in vain. At least, Cluster is safe in that place. Also, we managed to take down the organization who was hunting her." Souta said in a low voice.

He knew that Cluster was the Thousand Spell Cluster. One of the most powerful weapons of the True God's Holy Kingdom in the game.

Just like its name, the Thousand Spell Cluster has tens of thousands of spells in her mind. It was the effect of the universal artifact called [Grimoire of Spell].

This artifact wasn't an ordinary universal grade artifact. The people from ancient times recorded all the spells that they created in this book. From the lowest tier to the highest tier was all recorded in the [Grimoire of Spell].

But not anyone can open this book. Only the person chosen by the book could open this. The chosen one was called the Librarian by ancient people.

The book couldn't be opened physically. Instead, it could only be opened mentally. So no people could peek inside the book aside from the Librarian. As the Librarian, she could let some borrow the pages. Of course, by 'borrow' it didn't mean that she will pass the book to someone else. It only means that she will give that person the authority to access the book in her mind.

Lumilia and the rest didn't have an idea that Cluster has the [Grimoire of Spell] in her body. They only knew that she had some strange powers.

"We'll visit her after I returned there," Souta reassured them.

After talking for half an hour, Souta hung up the talisman. When Lumilia and the rest found that it was night in Souta's place, they decided to finish the conversation so that he could rest.

"It's not bad talking to them like this..." He said to himself before he closed his eyes.

...

In a pub, two people were occupying the table at the corner. There were drinks in front of them but none of it were alcohol. Souta and Alice weren't alcoholic people to begin with.

Three days had passed since they've arrived in this world. The group's goal was to go to the Gyunar Republic. After they arrived there, they will try to find someone who knew [Dimensional Hole] spell. Even if no one knew it, at least there were some records of this world's coordinates.

He wasn't sure if the [Dimensional Hole] really malfunctioned or not. Also, there's no sign of that spell when they've arrived in that place so he could only guessed that it malfunctioned. A lot of people knew about this spell but the details of weren't know by many people.

There's also a possibility that the metallic figure was from this place.

...

The Gyunar Republic was one of the most powerful countries in this world so there should have some information there. If they couldn't find what they wanted in that country, then they will head to the Condifan Empire. One of the oldest countries in this world. A lot of historical things were preserved in that country but this country was too far from them. It will take them three months before they arrived in that place.

Souta closed his eyes as he listened to the conversation of the people around him.

"Should we go out and hunt some wolves?"

"I want to buy a new sword."

"Damn! I thought I was going to die yesterday!"

"We'll head towards the Granmr tomorrow."

Souta opened his eyes as he heard some information that will help him and Alice in this unknown sub-world. He slightly turned his head and looked over the pub.

Five tables away from them was a group of six people. Two of them were women and four were men. All of them were human and they looked like they were experienced fighters.

Granmr was the capital of the Gyunar Republic and it was his destination. If he was to get there, he had to find someone who knows the way and familiar with the whole place.

He stood up and Alice quickly followed him. She also heard the group talked about Granmr, the capital of the Gyunar Republic.

The two approached the group and said, "Excuse me. I heard your heading towards Granmr."

A man with short spiky dark green hair looked at Souta and Alice. "Yes. How can I help you?"

"I'm Souta and this one is Alice. She's a comrade of mine. We're also heading towards Granmr. You see, this is our first time going there, so... I wanted to ask you if we could accompany you on your journey." Souta said politely. He knew all the capital of the three strongest countries in this continent. He learned this from the bandit leader that he killed before. Aside from the capital, he didn't know about the other city of the three strongest countries.

"Hmm..." The man grabbed his chin and he examined the two people in front of him. After a while, he said, "The journey towards Granmr isn't easy. If you have money, you can go to the mercenary guild to form a quest."

"No, don't worry about us. Despite our looks, we can protect ourselves. We will just follow you and we'll provide everything for ourselves." Souta said to him.

"I see..." The man looked at his comrades and asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure if we could let some stranger follow us on our journey." An attractive woman with yellow color hair that was tied in a ponytail said. She was a tall woman and her physique was different from Alice who was slim.

"Then, don't let your guard against us. We're strangers so I can understand that you don't trust us but we're not going to do anything against you. We just want to go to Granmr like you." Souta said to the woman.
