The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 552: Witch Clan: Struggle II

Alice took a blow on her stomach. She raised her left hand and conjured a black energy. As soon as she conjured it, the golden bell rang and sent out sound waves.

Bang! Bang!

The sound waves were blocked by her energy.

”Yeah, Iʼm not a match for you but... Iʼm not alone.” Alice sneered while looking at the man in front of her.

Swoosh!

Rowan quickly threw a punch beside him as Souta arrived and rapidly slash the sword in his hand. His fist which was covered by his energy collided with the sword.

Boom!!

Souta gritted his teeth. This was going to be their last battle as the fifth stage monster orb on his back was drained. He couldnʼt receive any more energy and actually, this was better for him. He was having a hard time keeping up with Rowan as some of his attention was focused on absorbing the energy from the monster orb. Now that the orb was gone, he could entirely concentrate on fighting this Clan Leader.

”I can help you. As long as you accept my offer then you wonʼt need to fight me. Instead, you will receive benefits better than what these witches could give you.”

Rowan said while shifting his body to the side. Then, he kicked Souta on the knees before he received a slash on his left shoulder. He simply ignored the pain and punched Souta on the elbow before he threw a golden energy ball.

Swoosh!

Alice thrust her spear forward and deflected the golden energy ball. She gathered her energy as the gigantic bell launched a series of sound waves.

[Dark Sweeper]!

A black sphere of energy formed in front of her and she threw it towards the invisible sound waves.

The two attacks collided causing a powerful explosion in the sky.

Boom!

Souta and Rowan who were closed to it ignored the explosion as they kept exchanging powerful and high-speed blows.

The seven shadows secretly went behind Rowan. When the opportunity to arises, the shadows launched an attack but Rowanʼs reaction was fast. In an instant, he crushed the seven shadows but he didnʼt know that these shadows were bait.

ʼThis...?ʼ

Rowan looked behind him as a powerful gravity suddenly pulled him towards the ground. He resisted using his power but he saw Souta slashing his sword in his direction.

”It isnʼt enough!”

He said as he raised his other hand and created a golden semi-transparent shield.

Swoosh!

Souta vanished in front of him and was replaced by a small black sphere. Then, his senses told him that there was danger above him.

[Shadow Ball]!

He clenched his fingers tightly as his sword landed on Rowanʼs body once again. This guy, Rowan, wanted to lure him with some benefits yet Rowan didnʼt know that Souta wouldnʼt receive anything from the Witch Clan after this. Also, how could the one controlling Rowan give him some points equivalent to the chain quest that he was trying to complete right now?

In his point of view, even if Rowan wanted to give him some powerful skills or treasure it wouldnʼt matter to him at all. He could get those things in the future but the points that he will get in this chain quest will vanish if he failed it. The two things couldnʼt be compared at all in his eyes.

For a chain quest, he simply came here with Amanda to complete it and nothing else would change his mind. He didnʼt come here to rescue this clan or save some innocent people. He came here for his own benefits and thatʼs to earn some points for himself.

He wouldnʼt even bother coming to the central continent if not for the chain quest.

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[First Form: Mahayana Tribulation]!

[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!

[Bestrou]!

[Crimson Moon]!

”From above...?” Rowan was stunned and in the next moment, his body crashed on the ground with an extreme force that created a huge and deep crater.

Boom!

His body was nailed five hundred meters below the surface. His soul weapon, the golden bell, was offset by the demon and the red dragon. All the sound waves launched by it were intercepted by these two creatures.

Ugh!

He spat a mouthful of blood and saw a blinding light above him.

”These monsters!!!”

Yuko and Doranjan fired their [Bestrou] at Rowan not giving him a chance to dodge it. The rays of energy flung out in every direction as it exploded on Rowanʼs figure.

Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions sounded and it caused the debris of rocks to shoot up in the mid-air before it turned into tiny particles as the shockwaves swept out.

Argh!!

Rowan gritted his teeth as he gathered a huge amount of energy in his fist. Then, he split the [Bestrou] with a swing of his hand.

[Majestic Ruin Cleaver]!!

The attack didnʼt stop as it continued to move upward splitting the powerful [Bestrou].

Yuko opened her eyes widely as she stopped her attack to shift her body to the side but Doranjan was too late to react. The attack was simply too fast and before he realized it, his [Bestrou] was cut into two.

Swoosh!

His right hand and right wing were also sliced. A huge amount of blood spurted out and it looks like it was raining from the ground.

”Itʼs too strong...”

Doranjan muttered as his slit eyes turned in Rowanʼs direction. His huge dragon body was an easy target for his opponent and the opponentʼs attacks were as fast as the sound.

Rowan slightly bent his knees and launched himself in the sky. In just a second, he arrived in front of Yuko.

Swoosh!

The flames around Yukoʼs body intensified as she swung a paw at Rowan. Rowan sneered and he raised his hand completely blocking her attack. He slowly clenched his other hand before throwing a punch.

Boom!

The punch was so powerful that it made a huge gaping hole in Yukoʼs body.

Roar!

Yuko growled and she swung her other paw. At this moment, Souta arrived beside her and grabbed Rowanʼs wrist.

”Since you donʼt want to join me then I will simply kill you and your comrades. Everyone in this place will die soon so thereʼs no use for you to struggle.”

Rowan said as he turned his head to Souta. His eyes were cold and it was filled with murderous intent.

”Because of your puppeteer ability, right? I can prevent it by simply killing this man, the Clan Leader, and everyone will go back to normal.”

Souta smirked. He took this chance to observe his opponent only to realize that Rowanʼs body was reaching the limit. After all, Rowan fought Eilish and the others all by himself. He was exhausted and his wounds were only getting worse as the battle continued.

”You know puppeteer?”

Rowan widened his eyes at Soutaʼs words. His aura fluctuated but he regained his calmness when he remembered that this monster came from Divine World. There were tons of people with strange abilities in that world so this monster must have seen this ability before.

”Well, yeah...”

Souta grinned and he thrust his sword forward. He and Yuko wrestled with Rowan in the mid-air. Their figure crashed on the ground while the red dragon and Alice were still intercepting the sound waves coming from the golden bell.

”Iʼll handle this, demon. Go and help them.” The red dragon turned its huge head to Alice.

Alice stared at the dragon for a while before she nodded her head. She knew that Souta, Yuko, and Doranjan would have a hard time defeating Rowan. They needed her help.

In her eyes, Rowanʼs defeat was inevitable. That body had reached its limit and the only thing that kept it from fighting was the one who was controlling Rowan.

Swoosh!

”Youʼre here again, demon?!”

Rowan said in a cold tone as he kicked Yuko away before he blocked Soutaʼs sword and punched him in the face. Then, he faced Alice who was coming at him with unbelievable speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta looked ahead as he stomped his foot on the ground. Debris of rocks flew in the air and hundreds of black tentacles rose. The four spider limbs on his back pointed upward as they gathered a huge amount of his best feram.

”Alice!!”

He shouted and Alice glanced at him. She quickly retreated away from Rowan using her fastest speed. Rowan naturally heard Soutaʼs voice so he turned his head only to see Souta charging an unbelievable amount of best feram.

”This is dangerou-”

Before he could finish his words, Souta who was before his eyes vanished completely, the black tentacles in the air blocked his vision.

[Shadow Ball]!

Souta appeared behind Rowan. He used some of his energy to use a thick and tough web and wrapped it around Rowanʼs feet and arms.

”Itʼs no use!” Rowan shouted.

Souta simply brandished his sword and the enormous best feram fused around the blade of his sword.

AAHHH!!!

He roared while swinging his sword which contained most of his energy.
