The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 538 - Witch Clan: Suppression

Souta looked at the scene in front of him before he fell on his knees. Everything in front of him was sliced into two. From his position, a huge cut with a length of thirty kilometers could be seen from above. The cut had a width of twenty meters and a depth of one hundred twenty meters.

His attack directly killed some of the members of the Witch Clan. Actually, he didnʼt care about them at all. He just wanted to avoid killing them because of the Special Quest but he couldnʼt help killing a few of them since the fight was difficult. Also, those witches were the ones standing in front of his attack so some of them would naturally die.

He reverted back to his original form and he spat a mouthful of blood.

Cough!

All the active spells and combat arts had disappeared. The skill that he just used was very taxing to his own body.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Soutaʼs chest was heaving up and down. He wiped the blood on his lips and stood up. He knew that his attack wasnʼt enough to take down a shackled realm expert. If it was below shackled realm then their life and death would be unknown if they tanked Soutaʼs attack.

”Damn! this is really hard...”

He cursed as he silently circulated his energy throughout his body. He took out the fifth evolution monster orb and slowly recovered his energy.

He was lucky that Rowan wasnʼt taking him seriously. Rowan didnʼt even use his soul weapon yet so his full power was still unknown to Souta.

”Just a little bit more time...”

...

On the other end of the gully, Rowan was laying on his back while staring at the dark starry sky. After a few moments, he stood up and looked at his hand.

He was bleeding.

A mere third evolution monster managed to make him bleed.

This third evolution monster was seriously strong. It was stronger than all of the third evolution monsters that he had seen in his entire life. It reached the limit of the third stage and was close to reaching the fourth stage.

A fully equipped monster that learned various spells to the point that it could rival those mages in terms of spellcasting. What an unbelievable creature.

Suddenly, his eyes squinted as pain assaulted his head.

”I have to finish this...”

He looked towards the Witch Clanʼs territory and he could feel the aftershocks caused by the battle of the two elders.

The white fog that was concealing their land was gone. Their territory could be seen in the middle of the river and erecting this type of formation would take a long time. It means that anyone would be able to find their land once people visited the Mist River.

Thereʼs no protection anymore, aside from their own power.

Ohm!

Blueish energy slowly covered his entire body. He was going to use some of his power to settle everything.

”Argh! Damn! Young Miss, I hope you have already escaped, or else I will not be able to control myself any longer.”

...

The Witchʼs land was chaotic. It became a battlefield that directly razed their residential area to the ground.

Elder Guan and Elder Hanmiʼs faction were fighting across the land. Energy fluctuations from Disaster Realm, Extermination Realm, Annihilation Realm, and even Extinction Realm would surge in the sky every second.

The thick best feram from the third stage monster had spread in the clan. It was like a poisonous gas for ordinary people as they fainted directly when Souta spread out his maximum energy level before.

Children, seniors, or any people with low power levels had fallen one by one. The pressure from the best feram along with the pressure coming from the Extinction Realm masters was too much for them.

Itʼs been so long since an incident at this level had occurred in the Witch Clan.

So right now, only the Ruin Realm people helped the ordinary witches evacuate out of their clan headquarters.

Cough! Cough!

Souta looked up and saw dozens of S-rank experts along with thirty plus A-rank experts were hovering in the sky. All of them were observing him with serious expressions. It was as if they were deciding what would they do to a powerful monster like him.

Clan Leader Rowan had a total of thirty-one loyal S-rank experts under his commands. Elder Guan only had nineteen S-rank while Elder Hanmi had twenty-three S-rank experts.

Looking at dozens of S-rank above him, Souta knew that these guys were serious, unlike Rowan who was only playing with him. These guys would undoubtedly subjugate him under Rowanʼs order and they would execute it without fail.

In a situation like this, Souta even wanted to fight Rowan for the time being. But he couldnʼt do anything except for fighting and thatʼs his greatest perk.

”Come!”

Souta fixed his posture and his flesh wrapped around the handle of the vajra sword. His body inflated as he used his released form once again. Tremendous best feram gushed out of his body but the S-rank experts remained unfazed.

They simply released their energy level. The only reason why they didnʼt attack immediately was because they saw how he fought against their Clan Leader. They were cautious of his strength.

”If youʼre not going to attack then-”

A loud sound rumbled and a powerful pressure bore down on everyone.

Boom!

Souta turned his head and he saw Rowan hovering in the sky close to the clouds. He had a cold look in his eyes and Souta quickly realized that it will not be the same anymore.

Rowan didnʼt attack immediately instead he observed the entire land. He saw Souta looking at him, Eztein and Gragas fighting some of his subordinates, even the little girl that was releasing poison, and Amanda who was still in the territory of the Witch Clan.

”Young miss, why havenʼt you left yet?”

He muttered before his figure disappeared.

He was too fast.

He was just several thousand meters above the ground and yet in an instant, Souta found that Rowan was already several meters away from him.

Swoosh!

Souta gritted his teeth as he activated his combat arts and spells. He swung his sword but Rowan appeared in front of him and grabbed his wrist.

”Futile... Itʼs amazing that you could even damage me but thatʼs it. You still didnʼt have a chance against me.”

Rowan said as he tightened his grip on Soutaʼs wrist. Then, he moved his hand and twisted Soutaʼs arm.

Spurt!

Blood gushed out as his right arm was diced. Souta ignored his right hand as the four spider limbs on his back fired four [Bestrou].

Boom!

This type of pain wouldnʼt even make him flinch. The pain in integrating [Nebula Heart] was a thousand times worse than twisting his arm.

”Wha-”

Souta opened his eyes widely as he saw that his [Bestrou]s were shattered with just a single punch of Rowan. The force behind Rowanʼs fist tore the [Bestrou]s and it even made a hole in his stomach.

Bang!

He was blown away and his figure crashed on the ground causing a huge fissure. He couldnʼt do anything alone. His attack could deal some damage to Rowan but it wasnʼt enough.

He stood up and the wounds on his body were recovering quickly. The hole on his stomach had disappeared and his twisted right arm had returned back to normal.

ʼThe Clan Leader didnʼt go after you... It seems that he is going after Amanda.ʼ Sayaʼs voice sounded in his mind.

Souta opened his eyes widely. He bent his knees and launched himself in the sky. No matter what he couldnʼt let Rowan kill Amanda. If Amanda died then this Chain Quest will be for nothing. He couldnʼt let that happen. Amanda was the core of the Chain Quest.

Boom!

A giant green ball of energy appeared in front of him and it crashed into his body. Souta tried to push the ball of energy using his strength but the energy within the gigantic ball was enormous. He glanced at the side and saw that the energy was coming from five peak S-rank experts.

”Argh!!”

The ball of energy forced him into the ground before it exploded.

Boom!

...

Rowan was holding Amanda on the neck while floating above the Witch Clan.

”Look, your comrades are strong but they canʼt make up for the quantity of my subordinates.” He said in a cold tone as he looked down at the battle.

”Ugh!”

Amanda couldnʼt break free from his grasp. She was too weak as she was only at Extermination Realm. She couldnʼt do anything to him even though she had recovered her memory and remembered everything.

She followed her line of sight and saw Souta, Gragas, Eztein, and the others were getting suppressed by the combined might of Elder Hanmiʼs forces and Clan Leaderʼs forces.

”U-Uncle... Iʼm sorry that Iʼm making it hard for you... Y-Youʼre the one that saved me yet Iʼm here...”

”Stop, I donʼt want to hear it,” Rowan said as he glanced at Amanda from the corner of his eyes. But then, he stopped moving as unfamiliar energy spread out in the clan.

”Whatʼs this?” He opened his eyes widely and stared at the land below him.

Ohm!

A huge magic circle appeared on the Witch Clan. The magic circle was emitting a bright blue light and a huge amount of energy was gushing out like a tide.

”Oh, it seems that Iʼm not too late..” A charming voice echoed in the whole area.
