The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 789 One Versus Three

An expert that broke one great shackle, SSS-rank. The man in the middle was undoubtedly someone at the level of Grain Leader of Athenʼs Champion. This level of power was high in terms of Hall Plains standards.

The man was wearing a long black cloak with white fur on its collar. He had a tattoo on the left eye down to his cheek. Underneath his cloak was a dark attire with red trimmings.

The two people beside him were quite strong too. They were at Lord Dramusʼs level. The one on the left side was a woman and the one on the right side was the one he saw in Death Kingʼs files. The two were called Night Queen and Earth Master.

Ohm!

Soutaʼs body was covered in white armor made of blood. It was the [Blood Armor: Jade Spider] form. He used it instinctively when he felt great danger coming at him.

His senses heightened to the limit and one wrong move from these guys, Souta would fight back with all of his might.

Souta was careful. If it was one-on-one then he wouldnʼt fall back but the enemy outnumbered him. He was at a disadvantage. Also, there was no one in the entire Heiro Kingdom that could help him in battle. They couldnʼt even deal with Lord Dramus alone so how could they even help Souta?

ʼBe careful, Souta. They are dangerous.ʼ Sayaʼs voice echoed in his mind.

ʼYeah, I know. My instinct is screaming at me right now.ʼ Souta replied to her while observing every movement of the three people.

After a while, the man turned his head back to Lord Dramus. He slowly opened his mouth and said, ”I thought that we forbid you to use the energy from Blood Sacrifice. Do you know how important the energy weʼve gathered from Blood Sacrifice is? We canʼt waste any energy.”

”Y-Yes, Sir.” Lord Dramus answered while trembling.

Judging from his reaction, the man was at a higher level than Lord Dramus.

ʼJust like I thought. They are reserving the energy from Blood Sacrifice for something.ʼ The frown on Soutaʼs face grew deeper. He didnʼt know what they were planning but he didnʼt have a good feeling about it.

It feels like they have an eye on the entire Hall Plains and they knew everything that was happening on this land.

The man then turned to Souta. Souta felt his body tighten and he reacted by swinging the vajra sword in his hand.

Swoosh!

A red energy blade flew out. The man looked at the attack and his aura erupted like a volcano. A huge amount of energy bursts forth like a tsunami colliding with the red energy blade. The collision caused a ripple in the air, sweeping out everything within a diameter of five hundred meters.

Bang!!

Lord Dramus, who was closer to the collision, was blown away. He raised his hand to protect himself from the shockwave.

Souta saw this scene and felt his blood boil. He was still in his [Element Drive] and [Blood Armor] so his attack was powerful enough to disintegrate any One Shackle Realm expert yet this man blocked it just like that.

”This is a little bit interesting...”

Souta grinned widely. He cracked his neck as his energy overflowed his body. His monster orb and [Nebula Heart] pumped energy throughout his body.

The man was unfazed at Soutaʼs overwhelming energy. ”Souta, a warrior from Athenʼs Champion. If you are here then you must have reported what you have seen to Athenʼs Champion, right? It seems that I canʼt delay the plan anymore. Well, itʼs a perfect timing to initiate it.”

He raised his hand and the entire ground glowed with crimson light. At the same time, several dozen of meteors appeared in the sky and descended toward the city.

Souta looked around and smiled wryly. He knew that he couldnʼt save everyone in this situation. All the people that died would be sacrificed so he wanted to at least prevent that but it seems impossible now.

”Where do you plan to use the energy from Blood Sacrifice?” Souta asked.

”Where? Itʼs simple. To eliminate the greatest threat in Hall Plains and to accomplish our goal. I will not waste the energy from Blood Sacrifice on other people.” The man answered calmly.

”Oh, then whoʼs the greatest threat in this land? The one who could threaten an expert like you.” Souta didnʼt expect to receive an answer from the man.

”Just know that itʼs not you.” The man answered.

Souta dashed towards Lord Dramus and heavily swing the vajra sword in his hand. Lord Dramus was shocked as he tried to jump away but Souta swiftly appeared in front of him.

The blade arrived closer to Lord Dramusʼs neck but a barrier appeared that repelled the vajra sword.

Clang!

”Oh,” Souta raised his eyebrows. He knew that the man protected Lord Dramus. He opened his mouth and fired [Bestrou].

This time, Lord Dramus managed to react. Ha gathered a huge amount of lightning and flames before he threw it ahead.

The [Bestrou] collided with the lightning and flames. A ring-shaped shockwave spread out from the center of the impact. At the same time, the meteors crashed on the kingdom killing tens of thousands of people.

Boom! Boom!

Souta loosened his grip on his sword. He opened both of his palms and strings of webs shot in every direction. The webs turned blood-red as he infused his energy around them.

”[Blood Thread: Dark Weaving]!”

Souta closed his palms and pulled out the strings in the next second. The webs spread out like a net, enclosing several meteors. The meteors were torn apart instantly preventing them from causing too much death.

He at least wanted to prevent further sacrifice for Blood Sacrifice. After all, he didnʼt want these guys to accomplish their goals. He could fight them and he was sure about one thing. They wouldnʼt use the energy from Blood Sacrifice against him or else they wouldnʼt be able to complete their goals.

But Souta was curious about one thing.

Just who is the greatest threat in this land that they needed to borrow the power from Blood Sacrifice?

From what he could see, they were pretty strong.

”Ehe, show me what youʼve got! Entertain me! Your decision to save energy from Blood Sacrifice is wrong!”

Soutaʼs body flashed. Night Queen and Earth Master who were beside the man finally moved. They released their energy and pounced at him with unbelievable speed.

Bang! Bang!

Their body moved too fast as they clashed hundreds of times. Souta was fighting Lord Dramus and the other two alone. Fortunately, Lord Dramus was already injured from the battle before and Souta also sliced one of his hands.

The entire terrain was devastated in an instant. The power they possessed shook the Heiro Kingdom to its core. It was falling and crumbling.

Bang! Bang!

The man simply watched the battle with an unconcerned look. Soutaʼs power surpassed the intel that they had. If he wasnʼt wary about the Athenʼs Champion, he would have launched an attack against Souta several weeks ago. But he didnʼt do it since if Souta was to die in this land, it would alert the warriors from the legion.

”Tomorrow... Iʼll start it...” He said in a low voice that only he could hear.

Souta saw them today. It means that he would report the threat to Athenʼs Champion once he returned. Before that happens, the man would initiate his plan.

The man knitted his brows tightly as he watched Souta fight three of his subordinates. Souta hasnʼt even used his release form so they should expect greater danger.

ʼHis power is greater than I imagined... Should I eliminate him?ʼ

The man opened his mouth, ”Youʼre free to use your artifacts. Try to kill him.”

”Yes, Sir!!” The three people said at the same time.

Each one of them had one red-grade and five orange-grade artifacts. They activated the effects of the artifacts and raised their combat prowess.

”Just like that!” Souta smiled. Strings of flesh covered his body and his [Blood Armor] expanded to fit his current size.

The power boost of the queen parasite was used.

The vajra sword was covered in blood and flesh. Souta charged at the nearest for and swung the sword. Night Queen raised the daggers in her hands and blocked the attack. At the same time, Lord Dramus and Earth Master appeared beside Souta and launched a vicious strike.

Bang! Bang!

”What?!” Lord Dramus and Earth Master opened their eyes widely. They saw thick layers of blood blocking their attacks.

”Not enough,” Souta said coldly. He spun around and delivered a swift kick to their stomachs. Then, the spider limbs on his back fired [Bestrou].

Boom!!

Souta wanted to attack the Night Queen again but he felt something above him. He looked up and saw a huge energy ball flying in his direction. Instantly, his armor turned black as he switched to [Blood Armor: Great Black Orc].

He crossed his arms and tried to block the attack.

Bang!!
