The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1066: Destruction of the Ekatoe City: Fight

In the east.

Amanda and a few witches lay on the ground, covered in wounds. Eilish knelt, clutching her right arm, her body drenched in blood.

Ugh!

Eilish spat out a mouthful of blood as she glanced up at the figure above.

The figure was a tall man with a long, thick white beard. His muscular frame radiated raw power, and lightning sparks flashed around him. ”Iʼm Leorin, Leader of the Deso. Now, tell me where the core of the formation is, and I will grant you mercy,” the old man, who had introduced himself as Walfen, said in a deep, rumbling tone.

Eilish didnʼt answer right away. Instead, she looked at Amanda and the other witches around her.

They stood no chance against this man. She was the only one who could still fight, while the rest were too powerless.

It felt as if death were standing right before her.

The sensation was all too familiar. She had faced this feeling countless times when she was searching for a cure for her brother. ...

In the north.

Dozens of twenty-meter-tall golems rampaged through the area. Buildings and trees collapsed under the overwhelming might of these golems.

Yuko, Isabella, and other witches, including Leef, fought fiercely against them.

A boy who appeared to be about fourteen stood on the shoulder of the largest golem. This golem towered over thirty meters tall, its body surrounded by various enchantments. ”Hahaha, thereʼs nothing that can save you! I, Walfen, Guardian of Stone Fortress, am here!” The boy laughed maniacally.

The golems he controlled continued to destroy everything in their path, ravaging the area and causing the deaths of hundreds.

Bang!!

Yuko, Isabella, and the other witches ignored the boyʼs words. They continued clashing with the golems, doing everything they could to give the citizens of Ekatoe City time to evacuate to safety.

Aside from the central area where Kessa was fighting, this place was likely the most devastated by the invadersʼ onslaught.

The boy named Walfen ravaged the land with his golems. Yuko, Isabella, and the others didnʼt have nearly enough numbers to stop all the golems from causing destruction.

Moreover, in addition to the giant stone golems, Walfen unleashed hundreds of regular-sized metallic golems, scattering them throughout the area.

As a result, the citizens of Ekatoe City who lived here were perishing one by one.

The golems advanced at such a rapid pace that the soldiers of Astros couldnʼt keep up with them.

At that moment, Gragas and a few of his apprentices arrived in the north. ”Fight!” Gragas roared, gripping his hammer tightly as he charged forward.

His apprentices followed suit, engaging the human-sized metallic golems.

Gragas swung his heavy hammer with powerful precision, smashing through the golems. Bang!!

It took them several minutes to wipe out the remaining golems. ”Damn, what is happening?” Gragas gritted his teeth, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He couldnʼt help but glance at the massive golems in the distance. Yuko, Isabella, and the others were still battling these enormous threats. ”Master, thereʼs a survivor here,” one of his apprentices said.

Gragas turned and walked over to his apprentice. There, he saw a young girl curled up in a box, hugging her knees and trembling, tears streaming down her face.

He turned to one of his apprentices and said, ”Escort her to the Guardian Fortress. At least itʼs safe there.”

The apprentice nodded and approached the young girl. ”You donʼt have to be afraid anymore. Weʼre here to save you. Iʼll take you to a safer place.” ”My... father... He...” The young girl sobbed, fear evident in her eyes.

Gragas watched as his apprentice carried the girl away. He sighed, his fist tightening in frustration. ”Ordinary people are powerless in this situation,” he muttered. ”The young girl couldnʼt even move due to the energy fluctuations from the battle.”

If the energy here was enough to immobilize ordinary people, Gragas could only imagine the devastation in the central area. ”Letʼs go,” ,” he said, his voice firm. ”We still have more people to save.” ...

In the west, a man stood amidst the rubble, the stench of blood thick in the air with corpses scattered around.

He had green hair, red eyes, and a pair of wolf ears. In his hand, he gripped Alice by the neck. His name was Ferdin, the Leader of the Northern Green Wolf Tribe.

Ugh!

Alice groaned in pain, her eyes burning with fury as she glared at the man before her.

Ferdin scanned the area as he tightened his grip on Aliceʼs neck. With a violent motion, he threw her to the ground, creating a small crater upon impact.

Bang!! ”Quite strong, but not enough to defeat me,” Ferdin said, wiping his cheek and noticing a bloodstain. ”Too bad. You alone couldnʼt stop me.” ...

In the Guardian Fortress, Torkez felt a heavy gloom as he watched the scenes unfold in the projection. The invadersʼ power was overwhelming, and there simply wasnʼt enough manpower to counter it.

There were far too few capable of holding off the invaders. ”The enhancement from the barrier formation isnʼt enough,” he muttered.

In the west, Alice fought alone, and even with the boost, it wasnʼt enough. If she had help, she could at least hold her ground. The same situation was unfolding in other parts of the city.

The invaders had been here for a while now, and the results were devastating. ”Sir Torkez, Sir Doranjan has arrived through the portal,” a subordinate reported.

Torkez turned his head, letting out a sigh. ”Thatʼs good.”

He narrowed his eyes, deep in thought. After a few moments, he spoke again. ”Tell Doranjan to head to the northern part of the city.” ”Yes, sir!” The subordinate quickly left after receiving the orders.

Too much damage had already been done to the north due to the rampage of the golems. It needed to be stopped as soon as possible, or everyone there would perish.

Torkez felt sorry for the others, but he hoped they could hold on just a little longer.

He sighed once again as he glanced at the projection. The scene on the screen showed the current situation in the south. ”Franklin, Eztein, and Vashno. There are three of them there, so I hope they can defeat the enemy.”

If they couldnʼt, there would be no one left to support the east and west, where Alice, Eilish, Amanda, and the others were fighting. ”Tell our people in the south to keep a safe distance from the battle. Our mages should stay out of the fray, ready to cast healing and buff spells to provide support,” Torkez instructed.

The Shimpan Family and other noble families in Ekatoe City were too weak to fight the invaders. They could only help the civilians evacuate. ...

In the south, ”Shit!” Eztein cursed as he looked up.

Vashno and Franklin also stared ahead, seeing Arie floating above them in a black dress.

Greenish gems flowed along her dress, extending to her back, where they formed a large, intricate circle.

Arieʼs pure white hair fluttered in the wind as her red eyes gleamed with power. Dozens of sharp white spears hovered beside her, exuding a dangerous aura. [Incinerating Holy Nova]!

Arie stepped forward, and the air vibrated violently.

Franklin, Vashno, and Eztein wore grim expressions as they watched their opponent. The pressure she was radiating now was on an entirely different level compared to before. ”This just got real,” Vashno muttered.

Swoosh!!

In an instant, Arie vanished before their eyes. Vashno reacted, but it was already too late. He felt a searing pain in his stomach as he was sent flying.

Bang!!

Franklin and Eztein widened their eyes as the same fate befell them. They crashed to the ground, sending smoke billowing into the sky.

Vashno immediately sprang to his feet, using the parasite to heal the wound in his stomach.

His elemental power surged as he charged toward Arie. ”Back me up!” His voice echoed.

His power level surpassed that of Franklin and Eztein, so he would fare better fighting Arie head-on, while the others assisted him. He could also take more damage than they could.

Vashno, Franklin, and Eztein didnʼt hold back, using their combat arts, spells, and elemental power to the fullest.

Boom!! Boom!!

Vashno attempted to block Arieʼs attacks, but they were too fast. He was struck several times and sent flying dozens of meters away. ”Go!”

Vashno gritted his teeth as he bent his knees and launched himself at Arie once again. White smoke seeped from his pores as his aura surged higher. ”Dream fog?! You have dream power?” Arie was momentarily surprised by this development.

Swoosh!!

Eztein and Franklin rushed at her from the sides. They also activated their dream power, their energy intensifying in response. ”You two?” Arieʼs surprise grew as she saw that both of them wielded dream power as well.

Vashno didnʼt let the opportunity slip away. He gathered his energy into his fist and threw a powerful punch. [Dominion Titan]!!
