The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 849 General Vanguard

Swoosh!! 

Souta appeared in front of the man once again and threw a powerful punch. 

Bang!! 

A figure appeared and caught Soutaʼs fist, protecting the man from any harm. 

Hmm...? 

Souta raised his eyes as he stared at the figure that blocked his punch. 

It was a woman with long white hair. Her skin was white as snow and her body was covered in silver-colored armor. The armor was emitting a dim blue radiance and there were black lines around it with the red crest on the left chest part of the armor. 

The woman glanced at the man behind him and said, ”I said before that you canʼt start a battle without my consent. I will send you back to the headquarters later.” 

”B-But... Itʼs just a monster...” The man said. 

”Did you forget the ruler of this land?” The woman said before she turned her attention back to Souta. ”Thatʼs the infamous Blood Lightning Monster, the newly crowned Lord of Hall Plains.” 

”Blood Lightning Monster...? You mean... that monster is...” The man stared at Souta with wide eyes. 

”Yeah, thatʼs why I warned you not to create trouble since we arenʼt in our territory.” The woman said. 

”That crest and the symbol under your armor...” Souta said as the entire area started to shake heavily. ”Youʼre from Asgard... With your strength, youʼre probably one of the General Vanguard of a certain legion.” 

”Iʼm Freydr, one of the General Vanguard of Tyrʼs Arrow.” The woman introduced herself. 

”You didnʼt even bother hiding your identity. Does it mean that the higher-ups send you here for the purpose of confronting the Olympus?” Souta asked. 

He was skeptical. He didnʼt expect that he would meet a warrior from another Holy Land in this place. 

Does this mean that those factions decided to follow Olympusʼ action?

Souta thought that they would let Olympus take care of this land since he took care of No God Emperor. But it seems that his assumption was wrong. 

Asgard wasnʼt probably the only one in this land. The other factions probably send their forces out of their territory just like how Olympus send him here. 

It happened too early.

Holy Lands sent out their forces in the other regions. It should be only for the demon army but now... Their purpose has changed. Souta was the ruler of Hall Plains. Although Hall Plains wasnʼt officially part of Olympus, Souta was still the ruler of this land so in some way it became an extension of Olympusʼ territory. 

So the warriors from other factions would conquer other small lands just like him. 

A fight would break out in different land because of this. 

The Large Countries who have allies in those different small regions would retaliate once they realized that a bunch of soldiers from the Holy Lands were marching in their neighboring lands. 

ʼSince Iʼm capable of slaying No God Emperorʼs vessel, they would send someone that could potentially rival me.ʼ 

Souta said inwardly. 

There was nothing good about this situation. If Souta defeated them, then the Holy Lands would only send a stronger force and then the Olympus would send someone stronger. This process would continue until the Holy Lands send the top brass of their forces, the Freedom Realm warriors. 

A warrior who broke all ten shackles. 

An expert who was freed from the limit of shackles. 

The Freedom Realm. 

”No, we donʼt want to confront Olympus. We just want a share of this land. This Earthen Woods is enough for us.” The woman who named herself Freydr said. 

”Tsk!” Souta could only click his tongue. Since Olympus started it, he couldnʼt say anything about the action of the other Holy Lands. 

It seems that he really needed to go back to the Championʼs Den to know the reaction of the other factions. His assumptions must be wrong since a General Vanguard had appeared in this land. 

General Vanguard was a rank comparable to Grain Leader in Athenʼs Champion. Sending an expert of this rank must have been because of his current strength. They didnʼt think that an ordinary expert would stand a chance against him. 

”If I donʼt want to share this land with any of you...” Souta asked. 

”We need to test you if you have the capability to do so,” Freydr said. 

”Then, better prepare yourself. If the faction behind you sent you here then I guess the Olympus will not make it difficult for me if I protected this land, right?” Souta smiled and his aura burst out of his body. 

Boom!! 

The whole area trembled under the might of his energy. 

Elder Hanmi and the rest felt the pressure even though Souta was in the sky. 

He waved his hand and said, ”Get out of here! We need to move! Our leader will fight and we will get caught up at this rate!” 

The witches quickly moved their bodies. 

Swoosh!! 

”Interesting... Youʼre the same as the rumors said.” Freydr said and her energy burst out of her body. 

Both of their energies collided in midair causing sparks to fly out between them.

Bang! 

Souta pulled out the vajra sword on his waist and Freydr quickly took out a small marble that turned into a golden staff. 

Freydr was the first one to attack. She pointed her staff at her target and several spheres of light appeared around her. These spheres of light shot rays that followed Souta. 

Swoosh! 

Souta moved around avoiding the rays as he used his Second Mode. Black spheres appeared on his back and the gravity around Freydr changed dramatically. At the same time, dark mist seeped out of his pores and black energy covered his body like an armor. 

He wasnʼt going to underestimate a General Vanguard of Asgard and he also knew that he could defeat an expert at this level if he hold back his strength. 

[Crimson Moon]!

BOOM!! 

The red energy blade collided with the rays of light and it caused an explosion in the air. 

Souta didnʼt even pause as he flew straight to Freydr. He saw that something was wrong in the surrounding space. He moved his body to the side and threw several energy blades. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

A series of explosions occurred that almost covered the entire sky. 

Souta furrowed his brows and said, ”[Ultra Air Mine]... Thatʼs some high-level spell she got there.” 

It felt like his opponent was more on the mage type than a warrior type. 

”Take this!” Freydr looked down at Souta from above as a huge magic circle appeared beneath her feet. 

[Grand Torment Burning Shock]!! 

A huge beam of flames erupted from the tip of her staff. The flames spread out illuminating the whole place with red flaming lights. 

The temperature rose sharply as the energy within the heat wave burned almost everything that it touches. 

Even though Freydr was several hundred meters above the ground, the trees started burning because of the change in temperature. 

Souta pointed his finger at the approaching flaming beam. A magic circle appeared beneath his feet and a black dot formed on the tip of his sword. 

[Black Hole]! 

The whole area turned dark instantly. The small black dot pulled all lights and matter within its range. 

Ohm!

The ground started collapsing as trees and rocks were pulled towards it. 

At the same time, Souta moved his hand and made a grabbing motion. He added the force of gravity to the suction force of his [Black Hole] spell. 

Bang!! 

”This...! A tier 3 spell!” 

Freydr felt her body moving towards it. She circulated her energy and resisted the force that was pulling her. 

She waved her staff and moved away while casting several barriers around her. 

The [Black Hole] continued to suck every matter and particle. In just a few seconds, the light appeared and the black dot disappeared into thin air. 

It disappeared leaving the area with a devastating sight. 

A huge part of the land had disappeared from this world. Everything within a radius of two kilometers was wiped out. 

Souta didnʼt even cast the spell on the land. He used it far away from the ground yet it was still affected. 

Freydr took a deep breath as she stared at Souta. She tightened her finger around her staff and her body emitted a dim golden light. 

[Greater Armor Enhancing]!

[Higher Dark Resistance]!

[Dragonʼs Might]! 

[Earth Armor Body]!

[Greater Agility Boost]! 

[Flame Strength]!

She used several spells to boost her stats. She had to do this since she saw that Souta was different from any other fourth-stage monster that she saw before. 

Souta looked down at his palm and muttered, ”Although the tier 3 spell is powerful, my opponent has strong resistance. As expected, I canʼt beat someone at Fourth Shackles, especially a General Vanguard easily.” 

He turned his attention back to Freydr and smiled before his aura changed once again. 

[Negative Land]! 

[Investiture of the Dark]! 

The day turned into night as darkness covered the whole area. 

Freydr tightened her muscles as she prepared herself for the battle. 

”Letʼs see how much it will get after being boosted by these high-level skills.” Souta pointed his sword once again. 

[Black Hole]!!
