The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 174 - Grandmaster

A loud and powerful roar shook the entire jail as a huge red bear appeared beside Souta.

Bang!

Yuko simply swung her claws and the cell broke like a fragile glass.

Souta grinned as he stepped out of his cell. He patted Yukoʼs back and said, ”Good job.”

Every prisoner was stunned when they saw this scene. Their jaws were hung open as they couldnʼt believe what they saw. A huge bear materialized out of thin air.

Then, one of the prisoners recognized Soutaʼs profession.

”A-A tamer?!”

”You mean the class that could control a monster?!”

”Yeah, thatʼs a tamer!!”

All of them looked at Yuko and Souta with a shocked expression. The prisoner in front of Soutaʼs cell couldnʼt say anything. He could only look at Souta with wide eyes.

”Mu...” Yuko looked at her surroundings with a tense expression. She felt pressure from the dense best feram in the air.

”Donʼt worry...” Souta said to Yuko.

The skill he used just now was called [Summoning]. It was a skill where he could summon his pet to his location. If the pet didnʼt want to be summoned then he wouldnʼt be able to summon his pet. Thatʼs the only condition of this skill. As long as the pet was willing then the owner could summon the pet anytime.

He learned this skill from teacher Bargan. Even though fire attribute spell was Barganʼs specialty he still knew a lot of things outside his specialty.

Souta had a tattoo on his shoulder. The tattoo looks like Yukoʼs face but it was more fierce and violent. He could summon Yuko through this tattoo without any problem. This tattoo linked Yuko and Souta through the contract they possessed.

Bargan explained to Souta the importance of this tattoo. Souta could do a lot of things with this just like the [Summoning] skill he used. If it got stronger, he could communicate with Yuko without any problems.

”Well, well, well, can I kill all the prisoners here?” Souta said with a smile while looking at the prisonersʼ faces.

The prisoners gulped their saliva when they heard his words. All of them looked at Souta with a nervous expression. They donʼt want to die.

Once again, the ground shook heavily and three monsters emerged from the ground. Two of these emerged from the prison cells of the prisoners and the remaining one emerged in front of Souta and Yuko.

The monsters had a five-meter talk furry body. It has a pair of red gleaming eyes and a pair of sharp fangs that could tear apart any iron. It has three pointed vines on its back. These vines were stretchable and the monsters used these vines for offensive attacks. Lastly, the monsters have a two-meter long tail that was covered in black spikes.

These monsters were called dark vine eaters.

”W-Whatʼs this?!” A prisoner was scared when a monster emerged from the ground. He didnʼt have a way to escape this because they were inside the enclosed cell.

”I donʼt want to die!! Help me! Help!!” He shouted as the dark vine eater opened its mouth. Then, it bit his waist into half.

Blood splattered on the ground the dark vine eaters eat the prisoner.

Panic spread through the whole prison in an instant. The appearance of the dark vine eaters brought terror to the prisoners here. They shouted and called the guards but it seems that the guard wasnʼt here. No matter how loud they shouted, the guards wouldnʼt be able to hear them.

”Hmm...” Souta lifted his head and looked closely at the dark vine eater in front of his face.

”Graaaah~” The dark vine eater slowly opened its mouth revealing sharp teeth and fangs. Its red eyes were looking at Souta.

Souta smirked and said, ”Yuko...”

Suddenly, the head of the dark vine eater crashed on the ground.

Bang!

Blood splattered and it created a small crater. A loud sound rang in the whole area as the head of the dark vine eater crashed on the ground.

Roar!

Yuko roared as she smashed the head of the dark vine eater repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every hit that landed on the head of the dark vine eater shook the ground. The dark vine eater struggled but tentacles like shadows hold the body of the monsters. It prevented the dark vine eater from moving.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yuko continued to smash the head of the dark vine eater until it died. Just like that, they managed to kill the monster of this level.

”Youʼve grown stronger.” Souta smiled as he patted Yukoʼs back.

Yuko looked at him. She then stuck out her tongue and licked his cheeks.

Souta stopped her and he looked at the scared prisoners. One of the prisoners took his attention. He frowned and looked at the prisoner.

The prisoner was a middle-aged man with messy hair. The man had a pair of furry ears on the side of his head. The color of his skin was dark purple. He was a half-moon elf and half-beast kin.

His clothes were in totter. His body was covered in wounds and blood.

Souta felt a fierce power inside this man. The power of this prisoner was stronger than him. He didnʼt think that he would meet a man this powerful in this dukedom.

He approached the cell of the man and asked, ”Hey, who are you?”

The middle-aged man lifted his head and looked at Souta in the eyes. ”Who are you?” He asked back.

Souta frowned deeper when he heard the middle-aged man. He then smiled and said, ”Oh, I forgot that I should introduce myself first. Forgive for my rudeness. Iʼm Souta Ieshi, a Rank C Adventurer from Hebrei Kingdom.”

”C-rank? Hebrei kingdom? Thatʼs a powerful country.” The middle-aged man muttered. ”What are you doing here in this small dukedom?”

”Iʼm here to complete a quest that I took. The quest is about to investigate the duke of this dukedom.” Souta answered with a smile on his face.

”You? Do you have any idea whatʼs happening in this place?” The middle-aged man asked with a serious expression.

”Yes, I know but I currently donʼt have any idea whoʼs the mastermind,” Souta replied to the middle-aged man.

”Me? Iʼm Djalvin Grumiyn, the current Grandmaster of the Adventurers Guild.” The middle-aged man introduced himself.

Souta was surprised to find the Grandmaster of the Fersch dukedomʼs Adventurers Guild in prison. From his information, the Grandmaster left the Dukedom and hasnʼt shown himself until now. To think that the Grandmaster was a prisoner.

”Are you lying?” He asked.

”Do I look like Iʼm lying?” Djalvin asked while looking at Souta in the eyes.

”No.” Souta shook his head. He then rubbed his chin and pondered what should he do with this man. In the end, Souta decided to free the grandmaster.

Shiing!

Souta used the vajra sword to cut down the cell and the chains binding the grandmaster.

”I freed you, so answer one of my questions.” He said to the grandmaster.

”And what do you want to know?” The grandmaster asked back as he stood up and stretched his body.

”I wanted to know why you got caught,” Souta said as he placed the vajra sword in its sheath.

The grandmaster stepped out of his cell before he explained to Souta how he got caught.

A month ago, when the grandmaster was going to leave the Fersch dukedom to send a request for help to the neighboring Adventurers Guilds someone ambushed him outside the dukedom. Before this, the grandmaster sent a messenger to ask for help but those people never came back. Since he didnʼt have a communication talisman to report to the other guilds, he had no other choice but to personally ask for help.

Outside of the Fersch dukedom, a monster with a monster orb appeared before him. With his power, the grandmaster wouldnʼt have any problem fighting it but there were dozens of dark vine eaters. Those monsters attacked him at the same time without caring for their lives.

In the end, he loses and got captured by a man wearing a mask. It must be the master of those dark vine eaters. The man said that it was not the right time to kill him and heʼs a reserve in case something unexpected happened.

This was one of the problems in the Adventurers Guild in a small land. The main guild didnʼt have them as their priorities so they donʼt have any sort of communication. If this was the Adventurers Guild of the Ladros City, it will have a talisman that could easily contact other branches of the guild and the main guild.

”So youʼre one of the important ingredients...” Souta exclaimed when he heard the grandmasterʼs story.

”Ingredients...?” The grandmaster looked at Souta with a questioning gaze.

”Yeah, havenʼt you realize it. That man is a tamer like me and he knew some dark evolutionary path.” Souta paused for a moment before he added, ”He will use the organs of humans and demis to evolved his monsters and you, youʼre a B-rank Adventurer. An organ of a B-rank must be precious to him.”

”Important? Then, why would that man put me here with other prisoners if Iʼm that important to him?” The grandmaster said.

”Well, I guess that he doesnʼt need you right now as youʼre just a reserve.” Souta grinned then he opened his arms widely, ”Can you feel this best feram? This is the energy of a monster evolving to fourth evolution. The monster is undergoing evolution right now and this is the right moment to disrupt him.”

”You mean...” The grandmaster opened his eyes widely as he realized what Souta was trying to say.

”Yes, Iʼm going there to stop the evolution and I wanted you to help me,” Souta said to the grandmaster.
