The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 342 - Battle at the Moon Tower: Scorching Red Bear

A huge wave of intense energy swept out coming from the floor below.

"This... Best feram...?" Souta easily recognized the energy in the atmosphere.

"What the...?!" Curdova was shocked too. He didn’t know why there’s a best feram.

’Is there a monster in the tower?’ A question quickly popped in his mind. This would become a problem if there’s a monster at that level inside the tower.

Only monsters above the second evolution stage could use the best feram. This was a knowledge spread in the whole world and everyone knew it.

’Is there a tamer from his comrades?’ He thought as he quickly glanced at Souta’s face but he saw that Souta was shocked too.

"Best feram..."

Souta narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the system. He opened his eyes widely when he saw Yuko’s status. The words "Red Fur Bear" were gone. Instead, it was replaced by something.

=Scorching Red Bear (Yuko) [♀️]= A powerful bear at third evolution stage who wields the power of flames. This bear possessed powerful destructive power.

"Yuko just... Evolved?!"

He muttered with an amazed tone. He didn’t think that Yuko would evolve at this time. From his estimation, she will evolve after two or three months.

With this, she was a true monster that could command the fearsome best feram. Not just that, she gained various skills from her evolution so her strength increased by several times.

One B-rank powerhouse will not be enough to subdue her. It will take a party of B-rank but that’s for ordinary third evolution stage monsters. The Scorching Red Bear was a powerful and rare monster among the bear-type monsters in the world.

Damn! He was too busy fighting Curdova that he forgot to monitor Yuko with [Pet Resonance] skill. It’s not that he was complaining, he was actually glad that Yuko evolved successfully. Yujin must have protected her while she was evolving.

’Good job, Yuji.’ A smile formed on his face as he turned his attention to Curdova.

...

A loud and powerful roar shook the entire fifth floor. The ground trembled heavily as if it was afraid of the power of the monster that just awakened.

Cracks formed on the ground and flames burst out of it like a fountain. This was the [Flame Expansion] trait skill that Yuko learned by evolving into a Scorching Red Bear.

The giant golem and Ryo stepped back to avoid getting hit by the flames that were bursting out of the ground.

This was no ordinary flame. They knew that it was powered by high energy called best feram. It was extremely lethal because of its nature.

"I’ve finished my role here... I couldn’t help anymore, Yuko." Yujin said as he fell on his knees. He coughed a mouthful of blood while Alophy’s voice kept ringing in his head.

’Jin! Are you okay, Jin?!’ Alophy said with a worried look. She was about to cry just by seeing his weak appearance.

His appearance went back to normal and the spirit wing on his back dissipated into thin air.

The ground shook as Yuko took a step forward.

Gyun and Ryo gulped as they observed Yuko. They were injured by fighting Yujin in an all-out battle so they didn’t have any confidence to defeat this newly evolved monster even though one of them was an A-rank powerhouse.

Yuko didn’t have a change in her height. She didn’t grow taller nor smaller. It was still the same. The only thing that changed was her appearance. Her fur turned dark red and there’s a red color gem on her forehead. This was her monster orb. Her monster orb was emitting flames and her paws up to her wrist were clad in flames. Some parts of her back were emitting flames that looked like blades.

This was her form when she used the [Flame Expansion] trait skill. It upgraded her firepower to higher level.

"Gyun, the other one can’t fight. We only need to deal with this monster but that’s where the problems come from. I’m exhausted and I don’t think that I could handle it." Ryo paused for a moment before he added, "That’s why you’re going to tank it while I deal damage to it from the side. We’ll use chipping tactic."

"Fine, I don’t think that I could hold much longer than you. The golem is full of cracks as if it’s going to collapse at any moment but I’ll try to strengthen it using my full mana." Gyun said to Ryo.

"For now, let’s watch how it will attack us," Ryo added as he examined Yuko’s movements.

Yuko slowly moved her limbs as she approached the two. Every second she increased her pace and after ten seconds she was charging at the two with high speed.

Swoosh!

Ryo moved back outside of Yuko’s range as he tightened his grip on his swords. He circulated his remaining mana inside his body while waiting for his chance to attack.

The golem moved its feet backward and used its left hand to block the attack. Gyun knew that he couldn’t avoid this attack like Ryo so he had no choice but to receive the attack from a third evolution stage monster.

Boom!

Yuko’s attack landed on the arm of the golem and after a few seconds, it broke into tiny blocks of rock.

"What a power?!"

Gyun was stunned. He didn’t expect that he couldn’t block a single attack from this monster.

Originally, Yuko should’ve just learned the [Monster’s Force] trait at her third evolution. But Souta bestowed this skill to her so her skill became a [Monster’s Force II].

[Monster’s Force II] was at the level of fourth evolution. This skill couldn’t be strengthened by any other means except for evolution. Even skill points wouldn’t work on it.

[Monster’s Force]: +100 strength, +80 agility and dexterity, +50 vitality

[Monster’s Force II]: +300 strength, +240 agility and dexterity, +150 vitality

The difference was so large. The added stats of this skill could even compare to a dark grade equipment.

The [Vajra Sword Saya] could increase the user’s agility and dexterity by 200, intelligence and strength by 50, physical damage by 50%, and energy resistance by 50%.

This kind of skill what makes it difficult for humans and demis to fight monster in a one-on-one battle. Even without equipment, monsters could dominate them.

Yuko pulled back her other paw and she prepared to strike once again. Gyun saw it so he controlled the golem to move away.

"It’s too powerful for a newly evolve third evolution..." He gritted his teeth as he couldn’t believe what’s happening.

Ryo dashed forward and appeared beside Yuko.

Swoosh!

He slashed his sword but flames appeared on Yuko’s fur and it acted like an armor.

"Damn! It could even do that!!" He said as he jumped away but he noticed that the bear was looking at him.

Yuko opened her mouth and flames burst out of it.

[Burning Shout II]!!

"RYOOOO!!"

The golem dashed towards Ryo and faced the sea of flames to protect its comrades from it. Gyun knew that Ryo couldn’t avoid this attack as it was an AOE attack.

Boom!

The wave of flames landed on the body of the golem. Everything in front of Yuko was bathed in flames that were coming out of her mouth. It was slowly melting the floor and the golem.

"Guh!"

Even though Ryo was protected by Gyun, he still could feel the heat of the wave of flames.

"Damn! It seems that we underestimated this monster...!"

After a few seconds, the flames dissipated and it revealed the body of the golem melting like an ice cream. Its feet were glued on the ground because of this.

Gyun who was inside the golem felt like he was about to die. Half of his body was churned black. Most of his blood evaporated and his skins were burned.

"Ugh!"

Blood flowed out of his mouth as he looked at the fearsome monster.

"Ryo, run... There’s no way we can defeat this one..."

He tried his best to say these words to his comrade.

’Gyun is right. We can’t defeat this monster. It’s too strong for a newly evolve third stage monster.’ Ryo thought as he realized their situation. He could run but that would mean leaving his comrade here to die alone.

No, he couldn’t do that. He couldn’t leave another comrade to die while he ran. He won’t be able to forgive himself if he did that.

Ohm!

The bear opened her mouth widely once again. A large concentration of best feram spun around it like a whirlwind.

[Bestrou]!!

It shot towards the two like a powerful laser beam.

"I’m sorry, Ryo... You’ll die because of me..." Gyun said as tears drop from his eyes.

"No worries, it’s my choice." Ryo smiled wryly. He didn’t think that he will die the moment they start their plan, their plan to fight the True God’s Holy Kingdom.

He was just a normal adventurer years ago. He and his comrades were living a dangerous life of adventurers. At that time, he was only a C-rank powerhouse. Compared to his power level at this moment, C-rank was too low.

But everything changed when they accidentally offend someone from the Church of True God. Everything went dark as his comrades died except for him.

Gyun turned his head to Ryo and said in a hoarse voice, "Hahaha, I don’t want to die, Ryo..."

The [Bestrou] swallowed Gyun before Ryo could even reply. After that, the [Bestrou] swallowed him as it destroyed everything in its path.

Boom!!
