The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 682: War in Subterranean World: Strong Will

Soutaʼs body was literally destroyed. His bones could be seen sticking out from his body as his blood dripped to the floor nonstop. He looked like a patch of flesh mashed up together.

Although he looked like this, his parasites were moving slowly, regenerating his wounds. It had greatly slowed down compared to the past.

”A-An..... enemy...”

Souta looked at the person in front of him. His eyes were blurry so he couldnʼt clearly see it but he could make an outline in his mind based on the pattern he saw. This person should be a member of the Red Matter Association.

ʼFuck... I reached the limit of my strength. I could barely move my body this time.ʼ

He said inwardly as he tried to move his body with great effort. All the energy in his [Nebula Heart] was consumed and only two percent was remaining in his monster orb. In fact, he shouldnʼt have any energy left long ago but he had [Insta Regen] that refill his energy reserves.

But now... He literally was close to draining his best feram.

Ohm!

He gritted his teeth as he stood up and forced his monster orb to pump out the remaining best feram in his body. The energy flowed smoothly in his body as he felt that he could create one more powerful attack.

His body slowly emitted an aura of a fourth stage monster. He glanced left and right, only to find that the rest of the warriors were the same as him. The others who had lower power levels had long collapsed on the ground.

Hundreds of warriors from Fourth Set had worked together to stop the Aranhgrad. They succeeded but it left them with heavy injuries. The Solidifying and One Shackle Realm had fainted. The Squad Leaders who were at Two Shackles and Three Shackles were still conscious but they could still hold on for a while.

They werenʼt Souta who had an unimaginable regenerative ability.

They naturally noticed the appearance of the enemy. Thereʼs not one of them but there were three of them. It wasnʼt a good situation for them.

The Three Shackles Realm Squad Leaders forcefully moved their heavily injured bodies. They could walk without any problem but they werenʼt in a condition to fight.

ʼShit!ʼ

Souta cursed inwardly as he tightly gripped the vajra sword in his hand. As long as his enemy underestimated him, it would open an opportunity for him to launch one more attack.

Even if there were hundreds of warriors, a lot of people would still die if these three attacked since everyone was heavily injured.

ʼIʼll use your body.ʼ Saya said to him.

ʼThanks... Iʼll leave the rest to you.ʼ Souta smiled as he could feel her concern in her voice.

He recalled the time when he wasnʼt close to Saya and she was trying to occupy his body. And now, both of them were partners in crimes. She was the only person who knew a lot about him except for the fact that he was a human before.

Speaking of that, he felt that some of the people would understand if he told them that he was a reincarnated person. After all, reincarnation wasnʼt unprecedented in this world. Just like Alexander who would be revealed as the reincarnation of the Ancient Myriad Emperor in the future. Itʼs just that... itʼs hard to come by a person who retained their memories of past life. It deals with a secret technique and this was the case with Alexander. He had a secret technique that helped him retains most of the important things in his memories.

The three people from Red Matter Association observed them. Their eyes were filled with a vicious aura and it was no different from a monster in berserk state. But they clearly had control over their bodies.

The air around them was no different than the ordinary One Shackle Realm. However, the rest of the warriors werenʼt in the condition to fight. Even the strong Squad Leaders would be able to hold them for at least five minutes. After all, the runes around the Aranhgrad destroyed all of their defenses and their equipment.

”Letʼs kill them all and it weaken one of the factions of Olympus.” One of them said plainly.

”Thatʼs natural. Weʼre just a One Shackle and yet we have a chance to kill a bunch of warriors at One Shackle. There are even warriors at Two Shackles and Three Shackles. What a luck we have today.” The one on the left side said. It was clearly a voice of a woman.

The one on the right side didnʼt say anything as he brandished a scimitar.

”Be careful. Even though they are on the verge of collapsing, some of them are still at Two Shackles and Three Shackles. We couldnʼt underestimate them. One wrong move and they would kill us.” The man in the middle warned his comrade.

At the end of the day, the enemies had higher power levels than them. Even if they were injured they had the power to kill them.

ʼShit... I donʼt have enough strength...ʼ Souta cursed inwardly. He focused the regeneration ability of his parasite on his right arm so that he could swing it one more time. But the regeneration had slowed down. It would probably take at least one minute before he could barely use his arm once again.

Sounds of footsteps echoed causing them to look over.

”Huh...?!”

The three people raised their eyebrows as they stared at the small figure in front of Souta.

It was a little girl that looked like 7-9 years old. She had short pink hair and chubby cheeks. Her body was covered in bruises.

Souta raised his head and widened his eyes. This little girl was the girl that he rescued before. If he wasnʼt wrong, her name should be Airi.

”D-Donʼt touch... Cough! Cough!” Airi said while trembling. Blood poured out of the corner of her mouth and nose. She was clearly injured but she still faced the three people despite not having any strength.

”Y-You... run away... the energy here can kill you...” Souta said with great effort.

Thatʼs right, for an ordinary person like her the energy lingering in the atmosphere was enough to suffocate her. It was especially the case with his best feram. Since he was preparing to launch one more attack, the remaining percent of his energy gathered around his sword. The leaked energy was poisonous to her ordinary body.

”I-Iʼm here to return this to you, brother!” Airi turned her head as she raised the [Flame Unity Robe]. This was the only reason why she could endure the intense energy in the air. Hence, the moment she lost the protection of the red grade artifact, she would undoubtedly collapse.

”Hahaha, are these the warriors of Athena? They even have to rely on a little girl to save them!” One of the enemies laughed before he walked forward. His aura grew larger and it pressured Airi.

Bang!

Airi was forced to kneel. She gritted her teeth as she felt her blood boiling. She couldnʼt even breathe properly due to the pressure.

No, it wasnʼt even a pressure. It was just a natural aura of a One Shackle Realm.

”Do you want to live? Go away and Iʼll kill all these warriors.” The unknown man said.

”N-No, I owed big brother a lot. Iʼm going to protect him.” Airi said before she vomited a huge amount of blood. Her vision was getting blurred and she was losing control of her body. ”B-Brother... I think this would help you... And I wanted to say thank you for saving my little brother and sister...”

The [Flame Unity Robe] fell on her hands. Then, she collapsed on the ground while blood kept pouring out of her seven orifices. She couldnʼt handle the energy anymore.

The woman stared at the red robe and noticed something. ”Hey, isnʼt this a high-grade artifact? I think itʼs better than my orange grade artifact.”

”Huh...? Now that you mention it. It looks like a high grade artifact.” The man looked down and understood what his comrade was trying to say. He crouched down and was about to pick up the robe when a shadow appeared in front of him.

Swoosh!!

The man looked up but he hand quickly grabbed his hand. In the next moment, he found himself being dragged to the ground with a palm on his face.

Bang!!

The two people were shocked as they looked back at their comrade. Their instinct kicked in as they felt several presences appear around them.

”Thanks for buying us some time little girl! You have the spirit of a true warrior!”

The warriors at the Two Shackles and Three Shackles moved simultaneously. In one on one, they couldnʼt win against a One Shackle Realm in their current condition but they could work together.

They were forcing their bodies and their injuries were getting worse. But it doesnʼt matter to them anymore. Even if they died, at least they had to show something to the little girl that they were true warriors that never back down.

Airiʼs will ignited their warriorʼs spirits.

Boom!!

Souta was filled with killing intent as he dragged the man.

The man flinched when he felt the tremendous killing intent. He raised his hand and stabbed Souta in the stomach but Souta ignored it. Instead, he opened his mouth widely revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.

”ARGH!!”

The man screamed in pain as he twisted the sword in his hand. Then, he kneed Souta on the stomach. He was about to deliver a blow once again when a sword light flashed.

Swoosh!

”Huh...?” He felt that half of his body was gone.
