The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Everyone managed to hold the enemies. It was truly amazing as the floating land unknowingly helped them distract their opponents.

Thud!

Lynn fell on her knees as she exhausted her mana by casting healing spells nonstop. This was the only thing that she could do so she decided to try her best by healing everyone.

"Lynn!!" Lumilia hurriedly went beside Lynn with a concerned look.

"Don't push yourself too much. Souta wouldn't like it if you collapse here." She said to Lynn in a gentle tone.

"But... I want to help everyone." Lynn lowered her head while clenching her fists.

"You already tried your best and it's enough for us. You're healing spells helped a lot of people." Lumilia said then her subordinate approached them. She looked at the subordinate and asked, "What is it?"

"The reinforcement from the neighboring cities have arrived!" The subordinate said to Lumilia in a polite tone.

At the same time, the other leaders breath a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

"You've heard that Lynn. You can leave everything to us." Lumilia said as she smiled. She knew that once the reinforcement arrived, they would be able to push back the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins.

She turned her head and saw a wave of people helping them. It was the combined forces of three cities. Each city sent five thousand armed people to help Ladros City. So they have a total of fifteen thousand troops and five hundred of this were B-rank and above.

It's the start of their counter-attack.

But not every troop was here. Half of it went to district five to help the nobles there.

A middle-aged man with blue hair and blue eyes landed near the group. Three people with powerful aura landed beside the man.

The man with blue hair walked towards them and asked, "Who's the person in charge here?"

"Father...!" Lumilia blurted out when she saw the man.

Jimmy and the other leaders of the merchant group glanced at her before they looked at the people that arrived. They knew that these people were the leaders of the reinforcement.

"We all have the authority but this person is our strategist."

They said as they turned their heads to Lumilia. At the same time, the people that arrived including her father looked at her.

Lumilia took a deep breath as she stood up and approached the leaders of the reinforcement.

"I'm Lumilia the vice-commander of the Dark Oculus Legion and the strategist of the merchant alliance army." She introduced herself in a tone that wasn't too polite or rude to these people. She was one of the leaders so she didn't need to bow her head to them.

It was as if she was telling them that they were equals.

"Good job on holding back the enemies," Ursus said to her as he observed him. He was quite surprised to find her being a strategist of a large army like this.

"No, we just did everything to survive against this powerful enemy." Lumilia shook her head. She then explained what's the current situation to them.

About what happened to the city and Bargan getting sealed in the sky.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook heavily. Huge cracks appeared on the ground and several people fell on it.

Lumilia, Ursus, and the other leaders stopped talking as they turned their heads to look at their surroundings.

"What's happening?"

Then, powerful waves of energy swept out and it froze everyone on the spot.

Ugh!

Lynn who was at the corner puked. She shivered as she felt the great energy in the atmosphere that made everyone trembled in fear. This was the first time she experienced this kind of energy.

Even without trying her best, she could easily feel the immense energy below the floating land. It was terrifying and unnerving.

It felt as if a giant predator was standing in front of her. The energy it possessed was like a sun as it surpassed the amount of energy of all the people in this city possessed.

It's like she was comparing a small pond to a vast ocean.

...

Randolf's current transformation was familiar to him. It made him remember a bitter incident in his past life when he encountered this man in the Mars Archipelago.

When he went on an expedition in that newly opened continent, he met Randolf a few times and he always got killed at that time.

'So he changed his name or Zargon is his real name.' Souta thought while looking at Randolf from top to bottom.

Zargon, one of the four crystal emperors and will be called the Dark Emperor because of the dark crystal on his forehead. The four crystal emperors were pinnacle existence in the game. Their power was unfathomable.

The four crystal emperors were known throughout the whole world and countless people feared them because of their overwhelming power.

Souta didn't think that one of his classmates was the Dark Emperor. It seems that taking the bead was Randolf's true motive.

Randolf was looking at his body, trying to feel his new powers. He felt an overwhelming power in his body and his mana undergo a solidification. Not just that, his physical strength too increased greatly as it broke the limit.

Energy and physical strength.

This was a true Rank-S. A realm of the strong people.

"Ah~ this power..." Randolf murmured while clenching his fist. A tremendous amount of mana was gushing out of his body and he wasn't familiar with his new strength so he couldn't properly control it.

'The last piece... A few more minutes and I'll be able to complete this.' He thought as he glanced at Souta.

"That was your goal all along," Souta said as he squinted his eyes. He was still trying to force his body to move under the solid mana in the surrounding.

"I needed this to complete my goal. To free my brethren." Randolf responded as he took a step forward. He smiled as he glanced at the huge pit on the surface. "Let me tell you something."

Souta moved his eyes and looked down at the city. He could see the battle from way up here clearly than anybody.

"Exactly one thousand two hundred forty-five years ago three terrifying existence came out of the infamous Dark Forest. It wreaked havoc in the continent." Randolf said while looking at the huge pit with a serious expression.

"You're telling me that one of the existence that came out of the Dark Forest was sealed here," Souta said as he recalled the same lore of the game.

"This kingdom hasn't been founded at that time so no one knew about it. I just happened to find this history while searching for this crystal." Randolf said as he touched the black crystal on his forehead.

'Three creatures that came out of Dark Forest...?' Souta frowned deeply as he realized what's going to come.

"Here it comes..." Randolf said deeply.

BOOM!!

A surge of best feram burst out of the huge pit. Everyone stopped moving as the energy spread out in the whole city.

Ohm!

The worse scenario has come. The threat of this creature was greater than than the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins that were in this city.

Bang!

A gigantic hand came out of the pit. It grabbed the edge of the pit and a huge figure emerged from it. Thick and dense energy was flowing out of the body of the figure.

ROARRRR!!!

A loud roar resounded throughout the whole sky as the figure revealed itself. Everyone saw a seven hundred feet tall humanoid furry creature came out of the pit.

It has three ashen-colored horns on top of its head. Its pair of sharp fangs were glistening as it opened its mouth. The color of its fur was brown with black in its abdomen and dozens of spikes protruded on its broad back.

Its hands were covered in white exoskeleton like armor and its long tail extended from its back to the ground. It has a length of fifty feet.

The humongous chains were around its neck, arms, and legs. The fake gleipnir was still hard and it wouldn't break easily.

Everyone turned pale when they saw this giant creature. Their mind went blank for a second as the creature emitted a powerful wave of energy that wiped the surrounding buildings.

"I have no choice but to release it. My objective is to get the crystal but taking it means that the power source of the seal will be gone." Randolf said in a low voice.

A creature from the ancient era.

This creature was a monster at the peak, a Monster Lord.

One of the three kings of the monster along with Sea King and Sky King, the infamous Underground King. These three creatures fought the alliance army of the Giza Continent and walked between the war of demons.

A monster which was hunted by humans, demis, and demons. Even the other monster lords were hunting them yet no one managed to take them down.
