The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

'It still wasn't enough...' Souta thought while gritting his teeth. The wounds that he received in this battle were painful.

Two golems charged at him from left and right while Curdova was in front of him.

'I'll change it first...' Souta moved back, and the golems followed him. He then removed the gravitational field around Curdova and focused it on the golems.

Swoosh!

Now that the gravitational field was gone in Curdova's body, he could now move five times faster than before. It was his true speed without the pressure of the intense gravity field.

His figure instantly appeared in front of Souta. He was a little bit surprised, as he didn't think that Souta would remove the pressure, and that led him to instantly arrive before Souta.

Swoosh!

Souta was already waiting for him with his sword clad in red and black energy. He quickly swung the vajra sword at his opponent, but Curdova had good reflexes.

He reacted by raising his halberd to block the attack and kicking the ground to distance himself from Souta.

Clang! Clang!

Curdova opened his eyes as the gravity field returned to his body, slowing down his movements once again. 'Damn! This is bothersome!' He said it inwardly as he controlled the seven humanoid golems to attack Souta.

The ground turned black, and several black tentacles rose from it. The tentacles quickly attacked the seven humanoid golems without care just to prevent them from attacking Souta.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the golems ripped apart the tentacles with their rock hands. Without waiting for them to destroy all the tentacles, Souta launched himself at Curdova.

Boom!

Brando, who was looking at this scene, gathered his last bit of energy in his body.

"I'm going to stop at least one of these golems to reduce the burdens on Souta." He muttered to himself before he charged towards the nearest golem.

He pulled his fist and threw it on the face of the golem, but the golem reacted quickly as it shifted its body and turned its attention on him.

The golem tilted its head as if it were trying to size up Brando, who was standing in front of him.

"This guy is really good!"

He smirked as he charged forward while crossing his arms in front of him. He was going to crash himself and use his brute strength to fight this golem. In terms of speed, this golem was faster than him, so he couldn't compete with it.

...

Curdova glanced at Brando, who was fighting one of the seven golems. 'This one still hasn't given up. He still wants to fight. Well, if that's what he wants, then I'll give him the fight that he wants,' he thought as he controlled two golems to help the one golem that Brando was fighting.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta noticed this too. He knew that Brando was trying to help him by fighting the golems. He greatly appreciated this kind of help, especially in his current condition.

He didn't even know how long he could last with all the blood that flowed out of his body. His health recovery couldn't keep up with this kind of wound.

While he was exchanging blows with Curdova, Souta noticed something. Yuko's presence was close to him. It means that they are arriving on this floor, and once they've arrived, they will win this battle.

To make sure of it, Souta used [Pet Resonance] for a brief moment.

Ohm!

A smile formed on his face after he used this skill. He already confirmed that Yuko and others were on the floor below. In just a few minutes, they will arrive here.

"What are you smirking for? Your friend would die if this keeps up!" Curdova asked in a loud voice as he repeatedly thrust his halberd forward.

Small cuts appeared on Souta's body as the halberd grazed him.

"You can't wait...?" Souta said with a smirk while ignoring the cuts that were appearing on his body.

"What are you?" Curdova muttered as he saw a crimson-red tattoo glowing on Souta's shoulder.

"Come forth, Yuko!!"

Souta said as he raised his hand above his head. A whirlpool of energy formed above his palm. After a few seconds, heavy energy oozed out of it, flooding the entire room.

Since they finished their battle and were on their way here, Souta could summon her, as there's no opponent left for Yuko on the floor below.

Curdova looked at the whirlpool of energy cautiously. He was shocked as he recognized the energy it was emitting.

"Best feram...?!"

He muttered under his deep breath. He looked down at Souta and said, "You're a tamer...?" Of course, he was an experienced fighter, so he recognized this phenomenon. A phenomenon where a tamer summons their tamed monsters.

"Yeah, you didn't expect it, right?" Souta smiled as a huge red bear emerged from the whirlpool.

"Master, I'm here!!"

"Hmm...?" Souta raised his eyebrows as he heard a soft, tiny voice. He glanced at Yuko and asked, "Is that you, Yuko?!"

"Mnn. It's me; I learned it when I evolved."

Yuko replied to him in monster language that only he could understand. Her voice carried thoughts that were passing through his head, so if other people heard it, they wouldn't be able to understand her words.

The monster language wasn't really a language. It was different from humans and demis, as monsters placed their thoughts in their voices. So even if the words were choppy, as long as they conveyed their thoughts, someone could understand it.

Humans and demis researched this language for a long time, but they couldn't understand how the monsters could place their thoughts in their words. Up until now, no one has managed to decipher how it works.

"I understand. Just help me here for a while." Souta said as he charged towards the surprised Curdova.

Swoosh!

"Shit! You fuckers!!" Curdova roared as he swung his halberd and controlled the golems to attack Souta at the same time.

The golems were about to attack Souta when Yuko blocked their way by using an enormous amount of best feram.

Boom!

Souta frowned as he felt that Yuko's energy was disrupting his spells. But this didn't stop him from attacking Curdova.

It was better than fighting Curdova with those B-rank humanoid golems. He could just leave those golems to Yuko.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta and Curdova's figures kept flickering as they collided several times in just a few seconds.

The battle was so intense, and the whole room was shaking heavily as if it were going to collapse at any moment.

...

While they were fighting, Lynn, Lumilia, and Alice arrived on the top floor of the tower.

The three of them saw Souta, Yuko, and Brando fighting a person and a group of humanoid golems. They instantly guessed that the person that Souta was fighting was the leader of the Moon Tower, Curdova.

"Lumilia, Lynn, support us. I'm going to help them." Alice said this to the two as she quickly pulled out her spear and dashed forward.

Lumilia and Lynn nodded their heads and gathered the tiny bit of mana left in their mana pool.

Lumilia looked around and noticed Cluster in mid-air emitting a large amount of mana. A huge metallic figure was behind her, as if it were grabbing her.

"Cluster... Just endure it for a while, and we're going to rescue you!!"

She shouted as she used a buff spell that she knew would strengthen her comrades.

...

Cracks formed on the ground and the walls of the rooms after it absorbed hundreds of powerful shockwaves from Souta and Curdova's battle.

Souta was dodging his opponent's attack when he felt his body get lighter. He was about to look around when he heard Lumilia's voice.

"Cluster... Just endure it for a while, and we're going to rescue you!!"

'Oh? So they are here... This will make it easier,' Souta grinned as he felt the buff spell that his comrades cast on him. He swung his sword and began to fight back against an A-rank opponent.

For him, Curdova was the strongest A-rank powerhouse that he had fought so far. With his strength alone, he couldn't hope to defeat someone as strong as this person.

...

While they were fighting, two people wearing nun outfits were floating above the chaotic state of the Blue Lawless City.

"This is the [Rising of the Earth Domain] spell... A very powerful tactical spell." The shorter nun with a huge axe on her back muttered while looking at the ground.

"Yeah, Cluster is the cause of this..." The taller nun paused for a moment as she turned her head toward the Moon Tower before she continued, "...and it seems that battles are ongoing in the center of the spell..."

The shorter nun followed her line of sight and knitted her eyebrows. "Oh! You're right? It's very faint, but judging from the fluctuations, it's an A-rank and a few B-ranks along with a monster at the third evolution stage."
