The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

The corner of Souta's mouth slowly curled upward as he received a quest. It was unexpected, but it wasn't that bad. 3 skill points were better than nothing.

"You can leave the rest to me—or should I say to Alice," Souta said as high-mana fluctuations erupted above the building. Then, a heavy mana poured down on the building.

Boom!

The whole building shook heavily as cracks formed around it. After a few seconds, it started to crumble.

"What's happening?!" Orlando muttered in shock.

The guards were also confused. They didn't know why there was an earthquake and the mana got denser all of a sudden.

"Hehe~ good luck..." Souta said to Orlando as he wrapped his hand around Isabella's waist and jumped away through the window.

Bang!

After they got out, the building exploded, startling all the people in the surrounding area. In this territory, all the people are members of the Dopheos Guild, so they don't have to worry about others.

Orlando and the other guards emerged from the debris of rocks. They have a few bruises on their bodies.

"Where is he?!"

"Shit! I didn't expect this to happen!!"

"Lockdown the entire territory and quickly look for that man and that slave!!"

"I will not let them get away easily!!"

They looked around their surroundings, and they called for more backup. Then they dispersed to find the two.

Souta and Isabella were on top of one of the buildings, looking down at the people on the ground. He smiled and said inwardly, 'The stage is already set. Everything should go according to my plan. Now let me see how great the Knights really are.'

...

At the main building of the Dopheos Guild.

A muscular girl was sitting on a chair with piles of paper files. She had long brown hair and was wearing formal clothes. She was the leader of the Dopheos Guild, Synny Dopheos.

While she was reading the words written on the paper, a man burst through the door of her room.

"Madam!!" The man called her while breathing heavily.

Synny looked at him and asked in annoyance, "What is it?" She was busy dealing with her work, and this man interrupted her.

"Madam! A man invaded our territory, and it caused one of our buildings to be destroyed! Right now, he took one of the slaves and is currently hiding inside our territory! Orlando said that we should lockdown the territory to corner that man!" The man reported to his leader.

"Oh? So that's why I felt something while I was reading..." Synny said as she raised her eyebrows. "Orlando is trying to cause trouble once again. If he's not one of our sponsors, then I would already kick him out of the guild."

"What should we do, Madam?" The man asked him.

"Hmm... You can just ask Hunts about it. Tell him that I'm leaving this problem to him." Synny replied to him after pondering for a while.

"Yes, Madam!" The man bowed before he left the room.

Hunts was the vice leader of the Dopheos Guild. He was also the little brother of Synny, the leader of the Dopheos Guild.

...

"What are we going to do now, sir?" Isabella asked him as she looked down at the people who were trying to find the two of them.

"Don't worry about it; let's just watch the show in front of us." Souta paused for a moment as he turned to her and said, "Also, don't call me sir. I'm Souta Ieshi, my first name is Souta, and last name is Ieshi. You can call me Souta to make it easy."

"Yes, S-Sir Souta..." Isabella slowly spoke as she lowered her head.

"Forget about formality. Just call me Souta." Souta waved his hand at her. He then focused his attention on the ground.

Boom!

A figure came down crashing on the ground from the sky. It was so powerful that it shook the ground heavily and caused a large crater on it. Smoke and dust filled the large crater, and it hid the figure that just crashed into it.

"Who's that, S-Souta?" Isabella asked after some hesitation.

"That's my comrade Alice. You can count on her as she's pretty strong." Souta explained it to her.

Naturally, it gathered the attention of the people who were trying to find Souta and Isabella. They came around and surrounded the crater.

After a few moments, the wind blew strongly and dispersed the smoke. They saw a beautiful girl with long silver hair standing in the center of the crater.

Orlando arrived at the scene and asked with an enraged tone. "Who are you? What are you doing in this place?" He didn't have time to think about the beauty of this woman as his rage was slowly consuming his heart.

"Tsk!"

Alice slowly swept her eyes at them and clicked her tongue in annoyance. From what she could see, there's no Knight Level among the people here.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Is this everything you've got? If you want to find him, then bring stronger people."

Orlando opened his eyes widely as he understood what she was talking about. "What?! You're with that man!!"

"Yes, so bring everyone here so that I can finish my job," Alice said to him in a cold tone.

"You!! Attack! Let's capture this woman too!" Orlando said as he pointed his finger at Alice.

The members of the Dopheos Guild charged forward with his signal. They brandished their weapons, preparing to attack the lone girl.

"My leader said that I should test the power of Knights, so bring me those Knights. I don't have any business with you." Alice muttered as she looked at the people that were charging at her.

She slowly lifted her hand, and everything was so fast for people. They could only see her hand as a blur.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, she blew up dozens of people who were charging at her. She didn't even put her strength in her hand, yet these people were blown away easily.

"Argh!!"

The members of Dopheos Guild screamed as they crashed onto the nearby building.

Bang! Bang!

Alice wreaked havoc on her leader's order so that she could force those Knight Levels to come out and fight her. It's not only Souta who wanted to test the might of the Knight Level of this world; she also wanted it. She wanted to know how strong the inhabitants of this sub-world were.

Every time she attacked, people would fly away and several buildings would crumble. It was fragile. Everything around her was like glass, which she could shatter easily.

She didn't even use twenty percent of her strength, yet no one could stop her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Souta, who was watching the battle, raised his eyebrows as he turned his head. He felt the presence of several people heading towards Alice's position. The presence of these people was stronger than the people that Alice was blasting away.

"Oh? They are finally here."

He guessed that they were Knight Levels, but their presence was too weak compared to the people that he had fought before. Even Curdova or one of the executives of the Moon Tower could massacre this entire city's population if they were that weak.

...

Alice looked at the group of people who had just arrived. She looked at them from head to toe and asked, "Are you people at Knight Level?"

The one who was leading the group of people with a strong presence frowned at her question. He was wearing a full plate of silver-colored armor with black linings, and at the chest part of the armor, a crest of their guild was carved into it.

Hunts was the vice leader of the Dopheos Guild.

"Vice leader!!"

"This one is strong!! She's probably at Knight Level!!"

"We can't do anything about her!!"

Hunts simply glanced at his comrades, who were covered in wounds, before he said, "Step back. She's indeed a Knight Level so those people who are below Knight should stand back."

Alice tilted her head as she slowly circulated her mana around her body. 'So these people really are Knight Levels,' she thought.

"Why are you attacking us?" Hunts asked, as he didn't immediately attack Alice. Both of them were Knights, after all, so they have the same status.

"Why don't you ask your members?" Alice replied to him as she dashed forward. She didn't even bring out her orange-grade weapon.

Swoosh!

Hunts quickly pulled out his silver sword and slashed it forward.

Alice shifted her body to avoid the slash, and the next thing she found was that there was a fist close to her face. She threw a punch, and both of their fists collided, causing a loud sound to echo in the surrounding area.

Bang!

Hunts brought a total of seven Knight Level mercenaries with him, so he was confident that their group would subdue this girl.

"Is that it?" Alice said as she put more force into her fist. She pushed her fist forward, and the Knights were thrown away.

Boom!

"Ugh!" The Knight didn't even manage to resist as he flew and crashed on the building from twenty meters away.
