The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The black lightning roared in the sky as it struck down a lone figure hundreds—no, thousands—of times.

"Argh!!"

The man spat a mouthful of blood as he took a step back, but the black lightning followed him. The monster also chased after him.

He couldn't believe it. A third evolution monster was suppressing him. An Annihilation Realm expert?

Fuck those higher-ups!!

This monster was stronger than the normal third evolution stage monster. This monster was fully equipped with high-grade equipment. It could use spells like those mages. Also, its release form was longer than normal.

[Element Drive: Earth Force]!

Even after using everything that he had, he couldn't find an opportunity to defeat this monster.

Swoosh!

Souta chased after the man while pondering how he could capture this man alive. He finished testing his strength as he found that he could go toe to toe with an S-rank expert and even push an S-rank into the corner.

He didn't even use his [Draw Blood].

Also, his Archetype had grown stronger. His proficiency was just 4% before, but now it has reached 6%. The increase was just 2%, yet the difference was huge. He didn't even need to use the fifth form to severely damage an S-rank.

Just the first form alone was enough to suppress those A-rank experts. Souta glanced below, and the black lightning was pressuring the A-rank experts, and this was the reason why they couldn't help the S-rank.

If they joined forces, there's a possibility that they could kill him, but why would Souta let that happen.

The archetype really lived up to its title, the supreme skill.

Boom!

Souta slashed his sword diagonally. The man raised his halberd to block Souta's attack.

Bang!

He managed to block it, but the force behind it blew him away. His figure crashed on the mountain like a meteorite, causing a huge impact on it.

The man quickly stood up, but he realized that he was surrounded by black tentacles.

"Fuck! I don't have time for these pests!!"

He roared angrily and thrust his halberd forward.

[Night Piercing Thrive]!

The black tentacles in front of him were shredded into tiny pieces in an instant. But then the black lightning struck at his position.

Boom!

He needed to constantly change his position, or else the lightning would strike him down. Once it strikes him, it will continue a barrage of thousands of lightning bolts. It will be harder to escape when that happens.

Swoosh!

But he made a grave mistake...

He turned his attention somewhere else, so he didn't even notice that Souta was flying at him. When he noticed it, it was already too late.

"Fuck!"

A loud, ear-piercing sound echoed as Souta flew in mid-air. His body caused a shockwave as it tore through the air. He grinned widely and thrust his sword forward.

The sword was covered in layers of flesh, a dense amount of best feram, and black lightning from the first form.

The man reacted by shifting his body to the side, but the sword managed to pierce his shoulder. At least he avoided a deadly injury to his heart.

"S-rank is really on a different level."

Souta said with a smile before he twisted his sword. The enormous energy in his sword exploded, causing it to shoot a powerful beam that tore the man's shoulder.

Boom!

He then swung down his sword.

It separated the man's right arm from his body, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Souta took a step forward, and he grabbed the man's face. Then he smashed him to the ground.

Boom!

Black lightning struck the two, but it only harmed the man. The black lightning from his first form could only enhance his abilities. It couldn't harm the user of the Archetype.

He pinned down the man as the spider limbs of his back nailed the arm and two legs of the man to prevent him from moving. Then he wrapped it with spider webs and black tentacles to lower the risk.

At the same time, the gravity field pressed on the man as if it were trying to crush him to death.

"You monster!!" The man roared as he tried to free himself, but everything he did was futile.

Souta suppressed him with all of his might. The enormous amount of best feram that Souta had was pressing the man to the ground along with various skills and abilities.

"You are good..."

Souta said as he looked at his stomach and saw the halberd of the man penetrate his exoskeleton. It even caused him a considerable amount of damage, but the parasite simply recovered his wounds as if nothing had happened.

"I still need you alive."

He raised his hand, and black lightning struck down. The atmosphere turned cold as the wailing of the souls echoed in their ears.

He activated the [Soul Blood Mode] for a minute, and he knocked unconscious the S-rank expert. Of all of his aces, this was the one that he rarely used. This mode consumed souls, not energy or stamina. So he couldn't use it carelessly.

If a god discovered him using this ability, then it would be a problem. The gods were sensitive to souls, and they could see those souls that couldn't be seen by normal eyes.

"I've finished it. It's time to help others."

Souta stood up as he patted the dust off his body. Slowly, his body returned to its normal appearance. He now looked like a normal-looking demi, unlike his previous appearance, which was like the incarnation of savages.

...

After half an hour, he finished dealing with the other A-rank experts. He aided Amanda and Yenxa, who couldn't even defend against their opponents and just relied on their parasites to survive.

It's understandable that they couldn't handle their opponents. Their power level was just A- and C-rank, while their opponents were a bunch of A- and B-rank experts.

Yenxa didn't directly fight, as an A-rank could one-shot her. Her parasite would be useless at that time. Luckily, Souta's seven shadows eased their burdens by fighting strong opponents.

"Wake them up."

Souta said as he rubbed his chin. The S-rank and six A-rank experts were left alive. What about the other experts? He massacred them and gathered their souls.

Just a little bit more, and he would be able to fight S-rank without relying on his aces. Most of the people in this world were hunting him, and his actions caused a problem for the Monster Dungeon.

Damn! Monsters were certainly not welcomed in humans and demis' societies. It's just a single monster, and yet two giant organizations were planning to take down the Monster Dungeon. Being a monster could cause trouble in a world like this.

Unless he was in a dangerous situation, he wouldn't use his release form for a while. His base form should get a boost too.

Cough! Cough!

He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard coughs. Turning his head, he saw that the seven people had woken up. They were coughing up blood as they tried to break free. Unfortunately, it only caused their wounds to bleed crazily.

"How are we going to get information from them?" Gragas asked as he looked at the seven people who were coughing blood.

"Of course, you have to ask them nicely," Souta replied quickly.

One of the A-rank experts glared at Souta and said, "You will not get anything from me. Just kill me, monster."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A gust of wind passed beside the A-rank, and when he realized it, he found that both of his arms were rolling in mid-air.

"Argh!!"

The man writhed in pain as his blood poured onto the ground.

Souta looked at the man with cold eyes. He swung the vajra sword once again, and the legs of the A-rank expert were chopped. Then he grabbed the man's hair and stabbed him several times.

"ARGHHHHH!!!"

The man screamed in pain as tears and snot covered his face. Souta avoided his vital points so he wouldn't die instantly; instead, he would die slowly and painfully.

"I have granted your wish. You will die in the next five minutes, so you don't need to worry."

Souta said as he threw the man to the ground.

The expressions of the other six people turned grim when they witnessed this scene. They recalled how Souta massacred their comrades one by one.

"Tsk! I thought you were going to ask them nicely." Gragas clicked his tongue with a dissatisfied look. For him, this was too brutal, and he hasn't seen anything like this before. He killed a bunch of people in the past, but he hasn't killed someone in this way.

"Amanda, you can do it, right?" Souta turned to Amanda.

"Don't underestimate me. I've been a leader of an organization before, so I'm experienced in this kind of thing." Amanda stepped forward and smiled seductively.

"Well, yeah. I've looked at the things that you did in that organization, and I've found it fascinating. You have talent," Souta replied with a smile.

"Thanks for the compliment. I will do everything to find the truth, and that's the reason why I'm willing to become your possession," Amanda bowed slightly before she stood in front of the six people.
