The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

After Souta gave his order, he closed his eyes and looked at the system. His order was for everyone to prepare as they will initiate an attack against the empire.

But before Souta could focus his attention on the system, he heard Jamine's voice.

"What if that's a trap of the empire?" Jamine asked him.

"It doesn't matter if it's a trap. We will quickly annihilate all of them. Even if it's a trap, it's impossible for them to quickly gathered in one spot when they were scattered across the whole world. At least from my calculations, it will take them one day before they could gather their whole forces." Souta opened one of his eyes and said while looking at Jamine's face.

"Then, do you have a plan that could take out the army that you will attack?" Jamine asked once again.

"Plan? I'm planning to use my powers to annihilate them. It's faster that way. If I'm going to sit down then it would take a lot of time and we'll receive high casualties." Souta replied to her as he closed his eye.

"This...?" Jamine's was speechless when she heard Souta's answer. It was an indication that Souta had great confidence in his strength. She hasn't personally seen it but according to the rumors that she heard among the rebels, Souta's power was godlike.

She thought that it was an exaggeration but thinking about how he blocked the Mana Convergent Bomb she couldn't help but doubt herself. Souta was strong and she had to admit it.

'Fine... I'll admit it. I'll try to help him in my own way.' She said inwardly while glancing at Souta.

Souta looked at the system and found that he had 35 skill points and 78 free attribute points left. Since the legion started functioning again, he earned points and exp when they completed a quest. He wanted them to complete high-level as it would guarantee him skill points.

[Doppelganger], [Shadow Dispersion], and [Dark Shooting Ray] were available to him. He already bought the [Dark Shooting Ray] and for him to open the two skills above it, he needed to level it up to level 10.

The available combat arts for him were the [Dark Light Shield], [Transforming Shadow Barrage], and [Night Overlord's Aura]. He already bought the [Transforming Shadow Barrage] and [Night Overlord's Aura] so he only had one combat arts to learn.

He had 35 skill points so he used 2 skill points to learn the [Doppelganger] spell.

*Ding!*

[You've learned Doppelganger Spell!]

He then leveled up this spell to level 7 leaving him a total of 6 skill points left. If he wanted to promote his class then he needed level 10 spell and combat arts that came from his system.

[Doppelganger] was a spell that could create a shadow of him with a little bit of his strength. At level 7, he could create seven shadows and those seven shadows had seventy percent of his stats. The only problem was that these shadows couldn't use any of his combat arts, spells, traits, and trait skills.

Still, a shadow with seventy percent of his stats was pretty strong. No normal soldiers from the Great Astley Empire could defeat it. This spell could help him greatly in this war.

If he had an endless amount of energy, he could use these seven shadows infinitely. Well, each shadow consumed 10 energy every minute. It also used energy to regenerate if it got damaged in a war.

He only had 6 skill points left and this wasn't enough for him. He planned to level up the [Doppelganger] and [Night Overlord's Aura] to level 10. These two skills were the ones he was going to use to promote his class.

After using his points, Souta slowly opened his eyes and said, "We're going to attack. Have you finish preparing yourself?"

"Yes, sir!!"

The high-ranking rebels said at the same time. They've already prepared everything and were ready to launch an attack at any moment. The only thing that they needed was Souta's signal, the signal of their leader.

"Yenxa, come here," Souta spoke using the monster language while turning his head to the little goblin.

The little goblin that didn't fit in the rebel army. That's right, she didn't this place which was full of humans and demis that she couldn't understand. Ever since she followed Souta, she was feeling uncomfortable. She stayed quiet all the time and watch the humans and demis around her cautiously.

The little goblin stepped forward and kneeled in front of him. Her small figure, green skin, sharp fangs, spikes on her body, and bald head were too eye-catching. Everyone already knew that she was a monster that Souta found in the cave.

"Are you comfortable here?" He asked as her.

"A little bit... I'm not used with humans and demis beside me." Yenxa replied to him as she slightly glanced at Souta afraid of angering him.

"I could understand it but I'm sure that you would get used to it soon. Also, you will join the war this time. I want you to gain battle experience this time." Souta said to her.

"I-I'll do what you want, my lord." Yenxa hesitated at first but she decided to accept it as she knew that she didn't have any choice aside from joining the war.

"You're too weak and that's why you will gain a lot of things if you managed to survive in this war. If you want to be strong then I will give you an opportunity." Souta said to her while squinting his eyes. Yenxa was a first evolution monster so she wasn't overpowered in this war. The scale of the war was perfect for her power level.

He stretched out his hand and patted her bald head. He then said, "I'm expecting a lot from you."

"Y-Yes, my lord. I won't disappoint you." Yenxa trembled slightly when Souta placed his palm on her head. She was scared of Souta as she knew how powerful and great he is.

...

Souta dispatched his forces to attack the nearest army of the empire. Most of the forces of the rebel army were with him. He didn't worry about someone attacking their bases. Two of his shadows were left there and no ordinary people would be able to stop the two shadows.

He was serious in fighting the empire and even if it was a trap none of it matters to him. He would simply show his true strength to annihilate everything that comes in his way.

He had a lot of aces in his sleeve that he still hasn't used ever since he became a third evolution stage monster. The [Possession], [Soul Blood Mode], and the [Monster Orb Release] were still hidden.

His overall strength would greatly increase once he used all these three skills. He couldn't even imagine his power if he used everything that he had. A third evolution monster was already strong from the beginning and now he had a universal grade artifact and dark grade weapon with him.

The rebel army launched an attack on the empire's army. The battle immediately started as soon as the rebel army arrived but the empire was already prepared. They already detected the rebel army's ships on their radar so they managed to organize themselves in a short amount of time.

Souta didn't stay on the ship to observe the battle. He came out and summoned his five remaining shadows. His goal was to eliminate these forces so he wouldn't hold back.

He personally helped the rebel army and eliminating the empire's forces.

Beams of light were shooting in every direction. Powerful explosions resounded on the battlefield every second. Ships were being clogged together. And gigantic boulders of rocks were raining down on the entire battlefield.

It was a frightening scene.

Jamine who was inside the ship observed all of this with her own eyes. The terrifying power that Souta demonstrated was the thing that the rebel army depend on. It was their source of motivation. As long as Souta was standing on the battlefield with them their morale wouldn't go down.

Souta made a grabbing motion and a ship from the empire shrunk. The gravity field was crushing the ship until it exploded killing everyone within it.

Notifications were ringing in his head as he killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the empire. But he didn't care about it at all. At his level, the amount of exp that he could get from killing these weak soldiers was too low. If all of these soldiers were B-rank then he would be able to get exp hundred times higher than killing millions of ordinary soldiers.

Despite that, his exp bar was slowly being filled up. Ever since he evolved and cleaned up the Prison World, he already filled a quarter of his exp bar. Right now, half of his exp bar was filled.

"Good."

Souta smirked as the five shadows scattered around and flew in different directions. The five shadows were going to fight the other forces of the empire that arrived on this planet. They were going to harvest everything for him.
