The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

"How is this possible?" Souta poured his energy into his voice as he asked. The elf was two kilometers away from him, so if he didn't pour energy into his voice, it wouldn't reach the elf.

"Tell me how you acquire that power, and I'll let you know about this..." The elf grinned widely.

"Tsk! I already told you that it's innate. You just don't want to believe it, you ignorant shit..." Souta clicked his tongue with an annoyed expression.

"Then, how about this... I'll tell you about it if you let me study your body," the elf said as he opened his arms widely.

"I'm tired of talking to an unreasonable person like you... I'll just kill you once again." Souta said with a sigh, and then his best feram burst out of his body.

Boom!

A large torrent of energy exploded within Souta's body. It created a wave of energy that swept out into the whole field, and everyone felt it. The energy that he was releasing was so intense that no ordinary person could approach him.

"Unreasonable? You're the one who's unreasonable here. I said I wanted to take you with me, and you didn't follow me at all," the elf said as his expression turned serious.

Souta was done talking to this elf, so he charged towards the empire's fleet and said, "Fire the cannons! Don't stop, just keep firing it!"

Swoosh!

Ten black balls appeared behind Souta. It rotated quickly as it emitted best feram, and after a few moments, enormous boulders of rocks floated towards the sky.

These boulders of rock flew in the direction of the empire's fleet. Souta was intending to destroy his opponent's ships as soon as possible. He wouldn't hold back at all.

Just destroy every problem that he encounters. That's it.

The elf released his mana when he saw Souta coming at him with great momentum. He tightened both of his fists, and wind blades gathered around it.

"This time..."

He knew that he couldn't easily fight Souta with his current strength. But this body was different from the one before. This one was several times stronger than before.

Swoosh!

Souta flashed forward as he threw a punch, and the elf tried to block it, but his figure crashed on the ship below him.

Boom!

Souta stopped chasing after the elf as he pulled out his sword from its sheath. Crimson energy coated the blade of the sword, and he slashed it towards his enemy.

[Crimson Moon]!!

The whole Mother ship was sliced into two parts before it exploded. The explosion was huge, and parts of the ships were scattered across the whole field.

Boom!

Smoke and flames filled the area in front of the empire's fleet.

Souta landed on top of one of the empire's ships. He was sure that the elf was still alive. His power this time was stronger than last time, so it wouldn't be as easy as before.

'Saya, do you have any idea how he does it?' He asked Saya.

'No, unless he's a god, he couldn't transfer his soul to other people,' Saya replied. 'This one is a problem. Even if you kill him now, I'm sure that he will come back with a new body.'

'Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too,' Souta said, nodding at her words.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as a figure flew out of the smoke and landed on the ship where Souta stood.

It was the elf.

His body was full of blood. There's a large cut on his chest, and blood kept pouring out of it.

Cough!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood as he looked up at Souta, who was looking at him. The more power Souta had, the more he wanted to study Souta. His body was trembling as he really wanted to capture this man before him.

"Oh? You made it out," Souta's voice sounded.

The elf narrowed his eyes as he tightened his fist. This man really wanted him to go all-out.

"Ahhh!!!"

Intense energy erupted from his body as he charged towards Souta. He didn't need to think anymore. He could just fight Souta until he was exhausted and let the army capture him.

Swoosh!

He arrived in front of Souta, and wind gathered around his fist like a hurricane. He then threw a barrage of powerful punches at Souta.

[Swift Gale Striking Fist!]

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The elf moved in every direction as he used his skill at Souta. Every second, a powerful shockwave would burst in any direction. The mother ship was shaking as cracks appeared on its surface.

Bang! Bang!

Explosions would occur as various parts of the ship would blow up because of the intense pressure in the air.

The elf continued throwing his heavy and powerful fist. The aftershocks from his punch would cause a large crack on the ship.

"You will not be able to escape my grasp!"

Souta raised his head as he looked at the elf. His guard was up, and he didn't do anything but block the punches from the elf.

Bang!

He moved his hand and punched forward. His knuckle landed on the stomach of the elf, causing him to spit a mouthful of blood.

Swoosh!

The elf was blown away, and he had to hold the ground to stabilize himself. He looked ahead with a smile on his face and said, "That's it, show me your-"

He didn't even manage to finish his sentence, as Souta was already in front of him. Black energy formed around Souta's hand.

[Transforming Shadow Barrage]!

The elf was blown away once again. His body flew at high speed before it crashed onto the ship, causing a huge explosion on its surface.

Souta jumped in the air as he pulled out the Vajra sword. He gathered his best feram on the blade of the sword before he launched his attack.

[Cross Moon]!

Red blades of energy flew out and headed straight towards the ship where the elf crashed. The mother ship was sliced apart before it exploded.

Boom!

Souta didn't stop at all. He used another [Cross Moon] in the direction where the ship exploded. With a wave of his sword, red energy blades flew out at high speed.

"Hahaha, you win this time. I'm not so sure about the third time, the fourth time, and so on. I will find you." The elf laughed as a red blade of energy swallowed his whole body.

Boom!

An explosion that shook the whole area occurred.

Souta jumped in the sky as he raised his sword above his head. The boulders of rocks continued to fly towards the empire's fleet once again. It was their nightmare.

Ten out of twenty-two ships have been destroyed. Souta didn't destroy any more ships after this. He just protected his ship with a gravitational barrier and let it get close to the empire's ships. He then let his people enter the enemy's ship and plunder it for themselves.

Doing this consumed a lot of time, but it was worth it. Taking those ships for themselves was a good thing.

All this time, Souta used his gravity powers so that none of the empire ships could escape him. It was exhausting, as this power was activated for more than an hour. Locking the gravity of an entire field was energy consuming.

"It's done..."

Souta captured the remaining twelve ships of the empire. After that, he went inside the ship to rest for a while, but then something unexpected happened. Their ship detected several fluctuations of energy all over the place.

Alarms sounded on every ship, and people were terrified. Various people reported this phenomenon to Souta.

"I know! So stop talking at the same time!"

Souta said in a loud voice. He did this so that his people would stop panicking for no reason. He let one of his people explain it to him.

"Sir, we've detected thousands of mana fluctuations in every direction. Judging from the signature, it's a transportational gate. More than one thousand ships are coming to this world." One of the people explained in a polite tone.

"This..." Souta was speechless. Thousand ships? Damn, that's no joke. He hasn't even rested, so his best feram and stamina were depleted.

There was a question in his head.

Who was that man? How could he control this amount of soldiers from the empire? Even the commanders and generals didn't have that many soldiers under their rule. A commander only has three hundred thousand soldiers, and a general has seven commanders.

"This is indeed a big problem..."

Souta muttered with a grave expression. He then ordered, "Retreat as far as we can before they've arrived. Also, call our remaining forces in this world to meet with us. We need their help. We'll fight this battle with everything that we've got."

The people bowed their heads, and they quickly executed his orders. Everyone understood their situation, so no one dared to stay idle.
