The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Roar!!

Gunsi's roar contained hidden power that shook all the people who had parasitic essence eaters in their bodies. It swept out in every direction, and those who heard it felt a strange sensation.

"Argh!!"

Torkez and the three remaining royal guards fell to their knees. Extreme pain assaulted their bodies as they felt that they were inside a furnace.

The remaining three royal guards stopped fighting when they saw that Souta killed everyone and took their emperor. They knew that they couldn't do anything anymore, but who would have thought that the founder of the empire would appear in this situation possessing a powerful might.

Even the generals and commanders of the empire who were fighting in outer space felt the same sensation. Lydia also suffered the same thing; their parasitic essence eater was going wild and extreme.

The whole battle came to a standstill as all the generals and commanders turned out to be incapable of moving. They didn't even know what was going on inside their parasite.

Swoosh!

Souta looked at the two-meter-tall figure of Gunsi with interest in his eyes. This guy was the strongest opponent that he was going to face ever since he left the Great World Imperium.

Just by looking closely, he could tell that this man named Gunsi was close to S-rank. His liquefied mana was so dense that it could counter his best feram to a certain degree. Not just the density; the amount of mana that he has is simply amazing. The amount of mana that he got was even larger than an A-rank expert in the Great World Imperium.

He glanced at his system and thought that if he defeated this man, he would be able to complete the chain quest. The final quest that he received after conquering five planets was to overthrow the empire, and this was within his expectations.

"What now? Have you felt fear?" Gunsi asked as he looked down at Souta.

Souta lifted his head as he looked Gunsi in the eyes. "I don't like when someone is looking at me from above." He said it in a cold tone.

"You're still calm even after I showed you my true power!!" Gunsi said as he raised his fist, and it turned into a meter-large ball with spikes. He then smashed it towards Souta.

Swoosh!

'So fast!' Souta said inwardly as he moved his body to the side to avoid it.

Boom!

The ball of flesh that Gunsi smashed onto the ground shook the entire palace. It was so powerful that several large cracks formed on it, and after a few moments, the whole ground collapsed.

'He's not just fast; his strength is also several times stronger than an A-rank. To think that he would have this much strength,' Souta said, and he saw the spikes on the ball of flesh stretching out in his direction.

He tightly gripped the Vajra sword in his hand and slashed the spikes that came at him. Then he flew away from Gunsi and noticed that Torkez was falling down beneath the ground along with the three remaining royal guards.

Ohm!

He used a little bit of his gravity power and controlled Torkez's body. He placed him on the edge where the gravity field lies and asked, "Are you okay, Torkez?"

"No, I can't control the parasite inside my body. It's running wild." Torkez replied to him with a pained look on his face.

'What's going on?' Souta was confused. Even the three remaining royal guards have the same condition as Torkez.

In his vision, flesh stretched out from Gunsi's body and strangled the three royal guards.

"Such a waste of parasites..."

Gunsi's voice sounded as the flesh extracted the parasitic essence eater inside the royal guards' bodies.

Souta's eyes widened his eyes when he saw this. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. This man, the founder of the empire, just extracted a parasitic essence eater out of the royal guards' bodies.

Gunsi glanced at Souta and said, "You must be wondering how I could extract the parasite from their bodies, right? It's simple. The parasite in my body is no ordinary parasite. It's the parasite queen that ruled over the whole race of parasitic essence eaters."

"Oh, so there's a queen among the parasites. It's my first time hearing about it." A smile formed on Souta's face as he charged towards Gunsi. He realized that Gunsi wanted to extract the parasite from Torkez's body, so he had to prevent it.

"That's right! Fight me!!"

Gunsi roared, and his hand turned into a giant blade. He launched himself at Souta and swung it horizontally.

Boom!

Both of their weapons collided, causing a powerful shockwave. It sent out ripples in the atmosphere and disturbed everything around them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two figures collided in the sky repeatedly. The aftershocks of their attacks were sweeping out every second. It was destroying everything around them.

The family members of the emperor have died because of their low power level. Their bodies couldn't handle the shockwaves that came from the battle between Souta and Gunsi. It was above their league. They were like an ant in the face of two giant predators.

Boom! Boom!

Torkez spat a mouthful of blood. His eyes couldn't even follow the movements of the two people who were fighting above him. He was sure that the whole city would crumble if Souta didn't set up the gravity field around the royal palace.

This was his first time seeing someone who could fight Souta at this level.

Bang! Bang!

Souta tried to avoid all of Gunsi's attacks, but he wasn't fast enough. Some of the attacks landed on his body.

Gunsi wasn't just powerful. He was also fast and tough. His body was moving in a strange way that Souta couldn't even predict.

"Hahaha! Just accept your defeat and let me study your body!!"

Gunsi laughed madly as he rushed at Souta and launched a barrage of powerful attacks.

"Tsk!"

Souta clicked his tongue as a red blade flew out of his sword and landed on Gunsi's body. It's been a while since he experienced such an intense battle.

He moved away from Gunsi and pointed his sword. A large amount of black energy gathered on the tip of his sword.

[Dark Shooting Ray]!!

Gunsi crossed his arms in front of him, and his flesh turned into a large shield that blocked Souta's attack. The black beam was powerful, as it was disintegrating his flesh, but his regenerative power was too fast.

In just a few seconds, all the wounds that he received from Souta have completely healed.

He lowered his arms and looked ahead, only to see a red energy beam flying at him.

[Bestrou]!!

The beam pushed his body onto the field before it exploded.

"Argh!!"

Boom!

A huge explosion erupted as cracks formed on the surface of the gravity field. [Bestrou]'s firepower was something that everyone in the Imperium feared.

Swoosh!

Souta took a deep breath. His energy was draining quickly, and he knew that it wouldn't last that long. He had to finish this fight as soon as possible. He already drained a huge amount of his energy when he broke through the formation of the empire in outer space. And now he had to fight someone at Gunsi's level.

He was sure that Gunsi's strength had reached the level of S-rank with the help of the queen parasite in his body. This was better than his expectations.

Swoosh!

The smoke dissipated, revealing Gunsi's figure. He was full of injuries that he received from [Bestrou].

Huh?

Gunsi noticed that something was wrong. The speed of his regeneration had greatly decreased. He didn't know what was happening to him.

At this moment, Souta's voice sounded in his ears.

"So you've noticed it. If you know the reason why there's a different tier of healing spells when all they can do is heal a wound, then you'll understand why your regenerative power has slowed down."

Souta smiled while looking at Gunsi, who was confused.

"It's simple. The lingering energy from my attack that caused your injuries had slowed down your regeneration ability. You had to dissipate it first. That's one of the basics if you want to become a healer in the future."

He learned all of this at the Ladro Institute. He was really glad that he enrolled in Ladro Institute first before he explored the world, or else he would have become an ignorant person who only had knowledge from the game.

"You fucking shit!! I'll use your body in different experiments before I kill you!!"

Gunsi's face contorted as his rage reached the limit. He was so angry at the person in front of him. He took a deep breath to calm himself as he noticed that he had let his emotions run wild again.

"Well, you wouldn't win anyway. You could regenerate your wounds, and my overall abilities are stronger than yours. I will finally know how you can have the dragon's energy. My dream will finally come true."

Gunsi said this as he knew that his power was stronger than Souta's. If their battle continued at this pace, then he would win in the end. A smile formed on his face.

"I already told you that I'm a monster, yet you don't believe me." Souta sighed as his expression turned serious. "I'm going to show you the true power of a third evolution monster. You will believe me once you've seen this."

As soon as he said those words, Gunsi froze on his spot as he looked at Souta with a stunned expression.

Boom!

Immediately, a terrifying force gushed out of Souta's body and shot upwards in the sky, piercing the gravity field. His body inflated as it absorbed his clothes, and dark red smoke erupted.

His mouth cracked open until it was close to his ears, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. Black smoke came out of his mouth as he exhaled.

Two pairs of eyes gleamed inside the thick smoke as it stared at Gunsi's figure.
