The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Raeshka looked at her subordinates and said, "This goblin is underestimating all of you! You can go and fight him at the same time! Just defeat this goblin with everything you've got!"

Roar!

The group of second evolution monsters roared loudly that shook the entire area. Their immense aura was bursting out of their bodies and it made the ground tremble.

They were going to show Souta the defeat. He underestimated them so it's natural that they show him his powers. Morals? There were no morals between monsters. They were going to fight him at the same time just like what their lord said.

Just follow the words of their lord. That's it. Nothing more and nothing less.

"Pretty interesting..." Souta commented with a smile on his face. He then added, "Yuko, come here with me. You'll also fight them and show them your powers."

Roar!

Yuko roared as she smashed the ground while looking at the group of second evolution monsters. If her master wanted her to fight them then she will follow his order and fight them without any fear. All of this was for her master to praise her and pat her.

"Come." Souta taunted them without showing any fear. He was excited to use his power after a long time.

Roar!

The whole area was flooded with the monster's battle intent. Normal human and demis wouldn't be able to handle this level of pressure.

A one-meter tall monkey with light blue color fur pounced at him. Not just the monkey but the other second evolution stage monsters also pounced at him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta smirked as the ground turned black and dozens of black tentacles rose from the black ground.

[Shadow Bind]!

The monster already expected this spell as they saw it before so they quickly moved their bodies away and surround him and Yuko.

Souta controlled the black tentacles as all of it stretched out and shoot towards the monsters around him.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

"You can go, Yuko. Just be careful and don't let anyone of them defeat you." Souta said to Yuko. He was confident that Yuko could match one or two of these monsters. He just needed to watch her so that these monsters couldn't overwhelm her with numbers.

Honestly, he thought that only a few monsters would fight her as Raeshka said that they only needed to defeat him not Yuko.

Roar!

Yuko roared in response to his words before she charged towards the group of second evolution stage monsters.

The black tentacles supported her by separating her opponents from other monsters. It was distracting the monsters that she wasn't going to fight. That's the only thing Souta would do for her. It's up to her to defeat her opponents.

Bang! Bang!

Yuko pounced on the giant crocodile in front of her. She wrestled with the crocodile using her full strength but the crocodile possessed a strength that could match her.

Roar!

She turned her head as she felt extreme pain in her shoulder. What she saw was a wolf with white stripes biting her right shoulder.

While she was distracted the crocodile bit her arm that caused her to groan in pain. She opened her mouth widely and flames shoot out towards the crocodile.

[Burning Shout]!

The giant crocodile was forced to release the arm that it bit. Yuko's trait skill didn't do that much damage to the crocodile because of its thick skin.

Yuko grabbed the wolf on her back and she smashed it on the ground. She then raised both of her arms and heavily smashed it on the wolf.

Boom!

The rest of the second evolution monsters were softly avoiding the black tentacles left and right. Only a few slow monsters got caught by the black tentacles.

A two-tailed salamander opened its mouth widely and waves of flames shoot out of its mouth. The waves of flames flew towards Souta at high speed.

Swoosh!

Souta felt the heat behind him so he turned around. He also felt the flames that passed through some of his tentacles. Before seeing what was behind him, he already had an idea about what it is.

After he turned his head towards the sea of flames, he felt cold on his side. The Freezing monkey just used its trait skill called [Cold Wind].

A cold wind that could freeze people shoot at Souta's side.

The Flame wings pigeon ten meters above the surface also used its trait skill called [Flame Slash]. The pigeon strongly flapped its wings and flame blades flew out of its wings.

Three different monsters used their trait skill to finish Souta. Their attacks were in different directions so Souta would be having a hard time protecting himself. Also, he couldn't avoid these attacks as he would enter the attacking range of the other monsters if he moved from his position. If he didn't move from his position then these attacks would hit his body.

So what's he's going to do? Move the black tentacles and used it to protect him.

"...I don't have a choice, do I?" Souta exhaled and said while looking at the monsters that were attacking him.

Swoosh!!

The sea of flames arrived in front of him and swallowed his whole body. The [Cold Wind] of the freezing monkey landed on his body and it caused a reaction with the sea of flames. The [Cold Wind] trait skill has moisture in it so when flames collided with it, it created a mist that covered the entire area around him.

Then, the flame blade caused an explosion as soon as it landed on Souta's body.

Boom!

The explosion slightly shook the ground and it blew the mist away. The smoke caused by the explosion replaced the mist that was covering the area.

"Oh? That's good! It seems that he was stronger than what he told me in the story!" Raeshka said with an amused expression when she saw what happened. She heard Souta's story before from his mouth so she had an idea about his strength but to think that he was stronger than what he told her amused her.

Moments like this one entertain her. She thought that it would be a boring match if Souta's capabilities were what he told her.

"It's really fun to watch it personally than just listened to the story." She said with a smile on her face.

What she didn't know that a few days ago Souta was as strong as the Souta in his story. He just undergoes a class advancement recently so his overall strength grew stronger. He didn't include the time in the Eternal Empire in the story as nothing worth mentioning happened there.

He also couldn't say that he advanced his class to Raeshka. It was a secret to this world that he had a system. He doesn't want to be hunted by large countries. Many countries would be interested in him if they knew that he had a system power. He would become a specimen or lab rat to investigate what's the system in his mind. They would try anything to understand what is the system and Souta didn't want that to happen.

If the large country, especially the three great countries, saw something they couldn't understand they would try to grab ahold of it. If that thing could bring them power then they would try everything to acquire it. That's just how human and demi's mind works.

Souta too was like that... And he knew it. He's a hypocrite. Everything for his benefits.

...

The other high-rank monsters were also surprised when they saw what happened to Souta. They finally had an idea why their lord was interested in this goblin.

Swoosh!!

The smoke slowly dissipated and everyone saw that Souta was standing in his position before without a hint of scratch in his body. He was unscathed after taking those three trait skills. The only difference was that there were ten fist-size black balls floating behind him in a circle.

Souta slowly swept his eyes across the monsters around him. The aura around him was calm but everyone could feel the invisible pressure around him. Just by standing in his position, he was pressuring everyone.

It was because he was unscathed after those three attacks. They didn't even understand what happened except for the higher ranking monsters. They also didn't know the purpose of the ten fist-size black balls behind Souta.

"Let me increase its power first," Souta muttered as he pulled the vajra sword out of its sheath. He had a [Weapon Caster] skill that he received when he advanced his class to Battle Mage before. The effect of this skill was that the power of his spells would increase by 10% if he was holding a weapon. The catalysts that mage always used were excluded in this.

"Argh! I'll defeat you!!" The Freezing monkey yelled as it pounced at Souta. Of course, Souta couldn't understand him. His language was different from Souta.

Swoosh!

The Freezing monkey pulled back its fist before throwing it at Souta's face.

Souta didn't even try to avoid the punch of the monkey. He just looked at it with a grin on his face.

Bang!

The fist of the Freezing monkey stopped before it could even reach Souta's face. The monkey was confused as it couldn't understand how Souta stopped its fist without doing anything.

Souta slowly opened his mouth and said, "Well, I could guess that you're confused. But the answer to the question in your mind is the [Gravitational Ball] in my back.

"With this, no one of your level would be able to reach me. Do you finally realize why I'm confident in calling myself the strongest second evolution monster? No one could defeat me at the same level as me. Only those higher existence could defeat me but I doubt that they could even defeat me when they were still at my current level."
