The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Souta landed on the pitch-black ground. His feet caused a sound that echoed in the area. He slowly brandished his sword and stared at his opponent.

"You are good. You will not be able to return. You must tell me what you are planning if you want to live." Souta said.

"I will not tell a single soul about our plan. We've waited for this for a long time but we must thank you. If not for you, we will not be able to reach our goal." Night Eye said as he raised his bow and pulled out the string. An arrow made of energy materialized on the bow.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Why are you thanking me?!" Souta dashed as he infused his best feram in the vajra sword.

Night Eye jumped away and fired hundreds of arrows at the same time.

Souta moved his body to the side and avoided the arrows. Then, he stopped and slashed the arrows coming at him before he charged forward.

"If you didn't want to tell me anything, then I'll have no choice but to kill you."

Souta slashed his sword in the air and fired several energy blades. He understood that his enemy wouldn't tell him anything. These people would either due than to leak their plan. They have that burning determination.

Boom! Boom!

Night Eye continued to maintain his distance between him and Souta while firing his arrows. This was his fighting style. He was an archer and long-range battle was where he shone the most.

In just a second, he released hundreds of arrows at the same time. The arrows flew towards Souta like rain. There were too many of them so he couldn't avoid everything. Also, each arrow possessed unbelievable speed and firepower.

Souta knew that his opponent was strong. After all, this guy was one of the experts that help Lord Dramus and the others deal with the twin spirits. Souta's twin spirits weren't weak at all. They were as strong as his release form without any sort of equipment.

The fact that those guys eliminated the twin spirits showed the strength that they possessed.

"Eh~ good..." Souta grinned widely. He shifted his body to the side and dozens of arrows passed beside him. Then, he kicked the ground trying to catch up to Night Eye.This chapter is updated by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

But the arrows that he avoided suddenly turned around.

"A homing arrow...?"

Souta jumped and slashed some of the arrows.

The arrows exploded, filling the whole area with smoke.

Souta waved his hands and shadows shot in every direction. Then, he spun around and his armor turned white. Webs quickly spread out like a net, trying to control everything.

Swoosh!!

Night Eye moved his body as fast as he could, trying to avoid all the shadows and blood-red webs. When he landed on the ground he saw Souta stomp his foot heavily on the floor. His eyes shrank as he hurriedly jumped in the air.

A second after he jumped, hundreds of crimson spikes burst out of the ground. The next moment, the crimson spikes turned into liquid before they formed a spear shape.

Souta controlled the shadows, webs, and blood in the surroundings. He perfectly maneuvers everything around him.

Night Eye couldn't even have an opportunity to attack. All he could do was dodge and defend against the shadows, blood, and webs. He was being attacked in every direction.

Souta charged forward while controlling the pace of the battle. He wanted to corner Night Eye and end this as soon as possible. He was exhausted so he didn't want to delay this any longer. Fighting an SSS-rank expert already cost him too much.

When he saw the opportunity, Souta quickly changed into [Blood Armor: Great Black Orc]. Night Eye slipped up and let one of the webs stick to his leg. He wanted to sever the web when thousands of droplets of blood rushed at him along with the shadows.

"Shit!"

He cursed. He had no choice but to raise his bow above his head. He pulled the string and fired a ray of light into the sky.

The ray of light exploded a thousand meters above the ground, creating a spherical shape of blueish energy. Then, thousands of light arrows bore down on the entire field.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Night Eye managed to sever the web on his legs and the blood and shadows around him. He was about to jump away when a figure flashed in front of him. It was Souta in his [Blood Armor].

Souta stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Night Eye. But Night Eye saw all of this and he managed to react. He tilted his body to the side, avoiding Souta's hands.

"I'm not done yet..." Souta said as he pressed his hand to the floor.

Night Eye widened his eyes as he felt a crushing force pushing him to the ground. It was so heavy that he felt like an entire mountain was pressed on his shoulders.

Souta gritted his teeth as he used all of his power in his gravitational field.

Boom!!

Cracks spread out in the ground before it completely collapsed.

Night Eye groaned in pain as he was forced to the ground. He looked up and saw a red energy blade coming in his direction. He used his energy to force his body to stand. Then, he rolled to the side with great effort just to avoid the energy blade.

Souta turned the gravity sideways. Night Eye lost his balance as he fell toward Souta's direction.

"Just like what I've said before you don't have anyone with you so you can't hope to defeat me. It takes more than one if you want to defeat me." Souta as he tightened his grip on the sword. Then, he swung it towards Night Eye.

Argh!!

Night Eye gritted his teeth. He used all of his might to avoid the slash but the crimson energy blade still managed to cut his left arm.

Souta raised his left foot and delivered a devastating kick to his opponent's stomach.

Night Eye spat a mouthful of blood as his body flew away, crashing on the boulders of rocks with insane speed.

Boom!!

Souta exhaled as he stared at Night Eye's hand rolling in mid-air. He knew that he won this battle. With just one hand, an archer couldn't hope to fully utilize their weapons. They had to hold the bow and pulled the string.

Cough! Cough!

Night Eye coughed as blood came out of his mouth. He still forced himself to stand while gripping the bow in his hand. He was in a tough situation right now.

"So... care to tell me what are you guys planning to do?" Souta asked as he slowly approach his opponent.

Night Eye wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and smiled. "Hahaha, this is fine. Sir Draymond will be able to complete our goal... The Mountain of Demise had appeared so we just need to proceed. There's nothing you can do to stop it."

"Mountain of Demise, huh?" Souta turned his head. The shadows slowly dissipated, revealing the scenery around him. At a faraway place, he could still the towering bloody mountain.

"Perhaps, I will go there and settle things with the so-called Sir Draymond," Souta said. There's only one person that Night Eye would address with respect. So the man from before should be Sir Draymond.

"It's too late..." Night Eye smiled.

"Okay." Souta nodded as he arrived in front of Night Eye. "Are you prepared to die?"

"Don't ask me that question. I'm prepared for it ever since I embarked on this path." Night Eye said.

Souta raised his sword. He realized that no matter what he do, Night Eye wouldn't tell him their plan. So it was time to end this facade.

"The Hall of Power didn't need to fear anyone!!" Night Eye laughed in the face of death.

Souta narrowed his eyes and beheaded Night Eye with a swing of his sword. The vajra sword emitted a bright red light and it destroyed the landscape behind Night Eye. Even if Night Eye accepted his death, Souta still had to use his energy, or else he wouldn't be able to cut his opponent's head.

Night Eye could still fight as he still had energy left but there was no point to it. He couldn't even properly hold his weapon and he would only torture himself if he tried to fight. At the very least, he already completed his job and he was satisfied with it.

Night Eye's head rolled in the air, splashing blood everywhere. The blood flowed in the mid-air and shot through Souta's body.

"This is good..."

Souta absorbed the blood and used it to recover his wounds.

This was a very tiring day for him. He didn't expect to meet an expert at Fourth Shackle. It was outside of his imagination.

In the end, the scale of the battle became too large that it destroyed the entire capital of Heiro Kingdom. Nothing was left anymore. It was pure destruction.

"The Hall of Power..." He said in a low voice as he turned his head to look at the giant bloody mountain.
