The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

ROAR!!

The roar of the seven hundred feet tall creature shook the entire sky. The Underground King was tightly grabbing the chains around his body. He was tearing these chains apart.

The fluctuations of his energy caused several explosions around the city and enormous cracks formed on the ground. The cracks spread around the city. It separated each district. Energy waves will burst out of the cracks from time to time.

It was a terrifying scene. It was like the world will end as the mana in the atmosphere was slowly disappearing because of the best feram of a monster lord.

The whole city was being distorted. It was twisting as the Underground King was pulling the massive chains.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt their scalp go numb. The chilly sensation of the air was hard to describe. They were like an insect in front of a giant predator.

People who got caught up in the energy waves that were bursting out of the cracks died instantly. The same could be said for those people who fell on the cracks.

The ordinary people that were in the range of best feram died from suffocation. They were too weak to withstand the power of the best feram of a monster lord. People below rank-F could only accept their fate.

In just a few minutes, the casualties increased by two fold. No one expected this kind of thing. The forces of the Ladros City and the Seven Deadly Sins were oblivious to the plan of a third party.

The seven-circle officers who were fighting the teachers and nobles stopped attacking each other as they looked at the monster lord with a gloomy expression.

Everyone could only rely on the mana inside their body, their mana pool. The mana in the atmosphere was hopeless. It was pushed back by tremendous energy.

"Why the hell is a monster lord here in this city?!" Pavoni, a seven-circle officer said with annoyance in his tone.

"Ufufu, let's return... We already complete our purpose. We don't need to destroy this city ourselves as that monster lord will destroy this city even without us saying anything to that monster lord." Frammie, also a seven-circle officer, said.

If they stay here any longer, they will only put themselves in danger.

Suddenly, she felt the piece of paper in her pocket vibrated.

Hmm...?

She took it out and saw that it was emitting a dim light. This was a transmission talisman. This sign means that someone was trying to connect to her talisman.

She channeled her mana and opened her connection. As soon as she opened it, a voice came out of the talisman.

"We take down the airship and retrieve the bloodstone. We lose some of our men but we still achieved our goal. How is your side?"

"Hmmmmm..." Frammie placed a finger on her lips as she examined her surrounding before she replied, "Well, we also complete our goal but some unexpected things occurred. A monster lord appeared here."

"What?!" The voice from the other side grew louder.

"Ufufu, don't worry... We'll fall back but casting a teleportation spell under this pressure will take a lot of time." Frammie said and she cut the connection before the other side could say something.

...

Everything was out of order. Even the reinforcement from other cities couldn't do a thing about this problem.

Lumilia had a grave expression on her face. She couldn't contact Bryan, Brando, and Cluster. And now, Alice and Yujin were gone after the monster lord appeared.

She didn't know if they were fine or not.

She was scared and trembling. She couldn't help it as this was the first time she felt the power of a monster lord. The horrific power brought fear to her heart.

She was helpless. No matter how she tried to think, she couldn't find a way to save the people of this city.

"I have to save the people I could save with my power..."

If she was worried about others, Lynn was worried too. She couldn't do anything but stay on the sidelines. She was weak.

She wanted to help.

She wanted Souta to recognize her.

She wanted to grow stronger.

That's why she will try her best to one thing she's good at.

Souta said that she had a talent in becoming a sensory mage. Her master said the same to her.

"I will try it..."

Lynn closed her eyes and focused her attention on her surrounding. She could hear several explosions and powerful fluctuations of energy.

The voices of the people entered her eyes. Cries of the children. Breathing of the people on death's door.

Despair and fear. She could felt it from their voices.

She was trying to find Yujin, Alice, Bryan, and all of her friends. She wanted to see if they were fine or not. She wanted to confirm it.

Slowly, her senses expanded and it spread throughout the whole city.

Lumilia who was at her side turned to look at her.

"What is this?"

She felt something was off with Lynn. She couldn't point it but she could feel an ethereal feeling coming out of her friend. An otherworldly feeling.

"Don't disturb her."

Lumilia looked over and saw her father examining Lynn with a surprised expression.

"Her concentration is so deep. She wouldn't be able to hear you in her condition. I don't know what she's trying to do but it wouldn't do her good if you disturb her." Ursus said to her daughter.

Ohm!

Lumilia opened her eyes widely as she felt the mana inside Lynn's body was forming a whirlpool below her abdomen.

"What-"

A large torrent of energy exploded and shot upward. The explosion of her energy wasn't large as the best feram in the surrounding suppressed it.

Lumilia, Ursus, and the other people around them looked up. They saw cracks in the sky and after a few moments, a giant eye opened looking down at the whole city.

"That's..."

...

Souta dragged the body of Yuvn to the place where Randolf was fighting the four seven-circle officers.

"Your leader is dead."

He said as he threw the body on the ground before he added, "I took his soul and the same thing will happen to all of you."

The seven-circle officers were shaken when they saw the body of Yuvn and heard his words. The words 'I took his soul' seeped into their hearts.

They could accept it if they were just going to die but taking their souls was a different matter.

Randolf grabbed the feet of one of the officers and he smashed the officer on the ground.

"Don't get distracted in the battle!!"

He was about to chase after that officer when the other three officers regained their senses and attack him at the same time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Haha, are you really going to ignore Souta?" Randolf laughed as he blocked all their punches.

His opponents couldn't help but glance at Souta when they heard Randolf's words. Randolf was right, they couldn't ignore the person who uses soul arts.

But looking away while fighting Randolf was a grave mistake.

"Ehe~ I got you!"

Randolf spun his body in the mid-air and kicked the other two while grabbing the neck of the remaining one.

Bang! Bang!

The officer on the ground stood up. He ignored the battle above as he focused his attention on Souta. This brat just killed the leader of this operation, Yuvn. So he couldn't afford to underestimate this brat.

He saw Souta smiled and disappeared in front of him. He quickly turned his head but a hand emerged from the ground and grabbed his leg.

"What?!"

The hand pulled him underground and a sword pierced flashed straight at him. He shifted his body but he avoided a lethal hit on his vital part.

"Tsk! He reacted quickly."

Souta clicked his tongue as he raised his feet and kicked the officer's chest.

Bang!

The officer was blasted away. Since they were under the ground, the place collapsed and was thrown in the air.

When Souta smashed the [Gravitational Ball] on the ground and used zero gravity, he secretly added the [Shadow Ball] spell so that he could surprise these people.

"Argh!"

The officer spat a mouthful of blood and he saw black tentacles shooting at him.

"This fuckers!!"

He roared as he grabbed the tentacles and tore them apart like a piece of paper.

He then found that he became the center of gravity. Countless rocks were flying towards him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boulder of rocks landed on hit body. No matter how much he smashed the rocks the fragments of these rocks struck his body.

"Damn!"

If he had mana, he could easily disintegrate these rocks with just his aura.

He then saw Souta flying towards him at high speed.

"You're coming!! Let's -"

He couldn't finish his sentence as he huge boulder of rocks smashed his face.

Swoosh!

Souta arrived and swiftly slashed his sword.

The head of the officer flew and his neck spurted a fountain of blood.

*Ding!*
