The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 418 – How Can It Be?

”If I knew Lydia, I wouldʼve let her talked to you instead,” Souta said with a sigh as he took out a transmission talisman. He poured his energy into it and connected to Lydiaʼs talisman.

”Souta, whatʼs wrong?” Lydiaʼs voice sounded through the talisman.

”You see... Thereʼs a girl before me she said that she knows you. Her name is Jamine Flue Rendxynuz, a former princess.” Souta said while looking at Jamineʼs face.

”What?! Jamine is there?! How can it be?! Where did you find her? Is she okay?” Lydiaʼs voice was full of concern. It seems that Jamine was really saying the truth that she knows Lydia.

Jamine looked at the piece of yellow paper in Soutaʼs hand with a surprised look on her face. ”What is that?!” She asked.

”This is a transmission talisman. Here, talk to Lydia and she will explain everything.” Souta said as he threw the talisman at Jamine. He then stood up and left the room. He will ask her some questions after Lydia explained everything to Jamine.

”Sir, the transportational gate has finished charging. We can use it again anytime.” One of the former prisoners reported to Souta.

”Good. Then, whatʼs the status of the people in this land?” Souta asked as he sat down.

”Theyʼve agreed to our condition, sir. They are willing to join us and fight the empireʼs forces.”

”Okay. Immediately use them and fight the south. I want to see their capabilities if they have the power to destroy one of the empireʼs bases in this world.” Souta ordered as he closed his eyes.

”Yes, sir.” The former prisoner nodded before he left.

After a while, Souta opened his eyes. He wondered whatʼs currently happening in the Imperium. Itʼs been a few months since he was away from that world and he was sure that a lot of things has already happened.

The demons. Itʼs version 2 so that demons must have begun their conquest. The war was going to erupt in the Giza Continent and the same thing could be said to the Godʼs Continent. The demons will attack that continent too.

The only difference was that the major forces of the Godʼs Continent will move to fend off the demons while the major forces of the Giza Continent will not make a move. The three great countries will stay still watching the movements of the uprising Mechanic Country.

In the end, the Mechanic Country was the one who lends forces to the alliance of the large countries to fight the demons. In the game, the Mechanic Country sent Souta along with the other four commanders to help in the battle.

The main event in the Godʼs Continent was the attack of the Gluttony. That man, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, will cause chaos in the whole continent and freed the titans. It will become an all out war against the forces of Gluttony. It was an event that will upset the balance of the Godʼs Continent.

”I will quickly finish my mission...” He muttered while looking at the projection.

Once he goes back to the Great World Imperium, he will start retrieving his equipment in the game. Up until now, he already got the [Vajra Sword Saya] and the [Soul Blood Earring]. A dark-grade sword and a universal-grade artifact.

He still had the...

[Hell Fiend Spear](Dark),

[Flesh Eating Scythe](Universal),

[Beowulf](Universal),

[Everdark Cloak](Universal),

[Thunder Cry Boots](Universal),

[Solid Hunter State Boots](Dark),

[Necklace of Avarice](Universal),

[Vulcanic Giantʼs Belt](Universal),

[Woodʼs Heart Bracer](Dark),

[Yin and Yang Bracelet](Universal),

[Ring of Madness](Universal),

[Ring of Heavenly Prime](Universal),

[Burning Ring Seal](Dark),

[Frost Swallowing Cape](Dark),

[Nightmare Mask](Dark),

and lastly the [Orb of Arcane Seal](Universal).

These were all the equipments that he always used in the game. He still had more but he rarely used those and some of those pieces of equipment were already sold to other players. These were the equipment that he didnʼt sell to anyone. He didnʼt even let other players borrowed it no matter how much they were willing to pay the price.

While the other players were busy preparing for the world championships(pro scene), Souta was exploring the vastness of the world completing various quests that the NPC offered to him.

While he was contemplating what he should get first when he goes back to Imperium, a person approached Souta.

”Sir, I have a report.” The person said politely.

Souta snapped out of his thoughts as he glanced at the person beside him. ”What is it?” He asked.

”Our signal detected twenty-two ships twelve kilometers away. Itʼs in the north and judging from the signatures, all of it is Mother Ships that carried hundreds of assault-type ships.” The person reported to Souta.

Souta raised his eyebrows when he heard the report. ”From my knowledge, our ship could detect any ships within fifty kilometers in diameter, right?”

”Yes, sir.” The person nodded at him.

”So how did those ships managed to get that close to us?” Souta asked.

”Itʼs simple, sir. Theyʼve jumped in this world using the transportational gate. Weʼve only detected them once theyʼve successfully landed.” The person explained to Souta.

”I see...” Souta nodded. The radar of their ships was only useful if their opponent was using ships too as it couldnʼt detect other creatures. Also, people who mastered barriers would easily fool the shipʼs radar. Itʼs pretty easy as long as a person knew how to properly control energy.

”What should we do, sir?” The person asked him.

”Hmm... If thatʼs a reinforcement then the empire surely knows about our operation. Then, they wouldnʼt easily give this world to us. They will fight us and continue to send reinforcement until theyʼve overwhelmed us.” Souta paused as he glanced at the person before he continued, ”Letʼs see if those twenty two ships are from the empire. Weʼll destroy them if they are from the empire.”

Another battle, huh~ this is war and everyone should get used to this lifestyle when they are in the war. Complaining wouldnʼt do any good. Just continue to fight until the enemies are dead.

Peace talk? Fuck those peace talks... Thatʼs just a temporary solution. Everything will fall out in the end.

History is full of war. Just accept it. Itʼs part of everyoneʼs nature.

A smile formed on Soutaʼs face as the ships flew towards the north where they detected the twenty two unknown ships.

Swoosh!

The ship arrived two kilometers away from the twenty two ships. Theyʼve confirmed that these ships were from the Great Astley Empire. Their greatest enemy so Souta quickly commanded to fire the cannons without hesitation.

He didnʼt need to talk to those enemies. Just fire the cannons and killed them as soon as possible. The enemies had twenty two ships so Soutaʼs group was at a disadvantage if they fought them.

The seven Mother Ships that theyʼve plundered were out trying to conquer the empireʼs bases. So Souta only had one Mother Ship with him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of white beams shoot forward and caused an explosion in the empireʼs fleet.

Souta knew that if he didnʼt make a move they will be defeated. After all, he only had one ship with him and the empire had twenty two ships.

”Open the door, I will go out...”

Souta flew in front as his gaze landed on the twenty two mother ships of the empire. Hundreds of assault-type ships were coming out of the mother ships.

After a while, he raised his hand and the ship behind him stopped firing the cannons. The enemy ships already stopped responding to them. The two sides were silent as they observed each otherʼs movement.

Hmm...?

Souta narrowed his eyes as he noticed a person standing on top of the leading mother ship.

The person on top of the ship was a man with long blonde hair. He had green eyes, white skin, and pointy ears.

Thereʼs no doubt that this man was an elf. But something was troubling Souta. The elf had a faint smile on his face was looking at him. It feels that this elf knew him yet Souta was sure that this was his first time seeing this elf in his entire life.

The elf opened his mouth and said, ”I already said before that I will not let you go easily. I will study you and discover how you could use the dragonʼs energy.”

Souta opened his eyes widely when he heard the elfʼs words. This elf... was the researcher from the laboratory that he killed before? How can it be?

”Relax. I donʼt have a problem with your little army. The empire can handle all of them. The only problem is you. You possessed strength greater than anyone that Iʼve seen before. Only dragons can rival your strength.” The elf said with a wide smile.

Soutaʼs expression turned serious. This man wasnʼt ordinary. Just what sort of techniques or skills does he have to transfer his soul. He wasnʼt even sure if it was soul transferring or not.
