The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 119 - Punishment

It’s his second day here in this city and someone made a move to Yuko. He’s already living for a few months in Ladro City and he hasn’t met someone made a move to his precious bear.

Did this mean that Ladro City was better than Gripin City?

Souta knitted his brows. The roar he heard was definitely from Yuko. The people from here were really testing him.

He stood up from his seat and walked towards the exit with a frown on his face.

Outside the cafe...

Souta saw a group of knights surrounding Yuko. He looked at the emblem on their chest and saw that it came from a different noble family.

Five knights were all pointing their sword at Yuko. Yuko was roaring at them trying to intimidate them. A lot of people were looking at this scene as if they were watching a movie. None of them tried to stop the knights.

These nobles... were really making him angry. They didn’t know their limit and thought that everything was for them to take.

Souta exhaled and muttered, "[Shadow Bind]..."

Suddenly, the whole ground turned into black. Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene but the spell wasn’t finished yet.

In the next moment, several shadows burst out of the ground and strangled the limbs of the knights.

"What’s this?"

"Is this the bear skill?"

The knights tried to break out from the shadows but it only made themselves worse because the more they struggle the tighter the shadows become.

"Ugh!!"

"Argh!! H-Help me!!"

All of them groaned in pain as they felt their limbs were going to snap at any moment.

The people who were watching this quickly move away afraid of going the same experience just like those knights. The pitch-black ground gave an eerie feeling that something was about to come out of it.

"Yuko..."

A voice sounded in the whole place. All of them turned over to look and saw a short man with dark green skin. The man had short black hair with golden color pupils.

This man was Souta Ieshi.

Souta walked beside Yuko and patted her head. "Don’t worry about it Yuko. I will handle the-" He didn’t even manage to finish his sentence when he saw a bloodstain on Yuko’s fur at the corner of his eyes.

"What is this?!"

He checked it and found that Yuko had a small cut on her waist.

A man with blonde hair stepped forward with a frown on his face. He was wearing exquisite clothes. There’s no doubt about it that he’s the young lord of these knights.

The man opened his mouth and said, "Are you the owner of this bear? How much-"

Boom!!

Suddenly, Souta aura exploded. A gust of wind swept out in the whole area. He slowly turned around and looked at them with wide eyes.

"Hehe~ You can go to hell now." Souta laughed as he grinned widely. Then, several shadows burst out of the ground and bound the young noble. He didn’t need to hear what the young noble was about to say as he could guess it from the first word.

"What’s the meaning of this... Hmpf..." The young noble said before a shadow covered his mouth so that he wouldn’t be able to say anything again.

This was the power of the level 10 [Shadow Bind] spell. This spell was clearly different when it was still a level 9 spell. It evolved after it became level 10, so its power was close to a tier 2 spell, no, its power was already in the realm of a tier 2 spell because of the plus 100% increase in spell power when he became a Rank 2 Mage.

"Yeah, what’s the meaning of this?" Souta walked towards the young noble and asked with a smile on his face.

He was boiling in anger right now. Yuko was just waiting for him and they did that to her.

They cut her!

It’s a different matter if Souta and Yuko did it first. He will not get mad over it but judging from the scene he saw before and the condition of the knights it seems that Yuko didn’t fight back. If she fought back then there’s a high chance that Yuko would be able to defeat these five knights.

Souta frowned as he felt several eyes on his. He looked around and clenched his fist.

"Settle down."

Boom!!

Several shadows burst out of the ground. It stood straight forming a circle around him so that the other people couldn’t see what’s happening here.

This [Shadow Bind] spell of his was different from the other. He could control these shadows like a part of his body.

"My attitude depends on how you treat me and the people close to me," Souta said to the young noble. Even Souta knew that he wasn’t a good person like Bryan who pursued justice more than anything.

Souta knew that his hands were dirty as he already killed hundreds of living creatures in this world. He’s not going to make an excuse as he knew that no matter what’s your excuse he still killed a living creature even if it’s only an accident.

No matter what excuse a person have, killing is killing. A person still took a life and that will not change anything.

The young noble opened his eyes widely when he saw Souta’s face. He finally realized what he was about to face. He wanted to scream but he couldn’t because of the shadow covering his mouth.

Souta took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "Okay, I’m calm now. I will not kill you but I’ll punish you."

The first part of his words made the young noble sighed in relief but the second part made his face turned pale. He struggled with all of his got but he didn’t have sufficient strength to break free from the shadows.

"Break..." Souta said in a cold tone and the shadows that were binding the young noble and knights tightened.

He wouldn’t kill them as it would give him a lot of trouble if he killed them. There’s a lot of witnesses in this place, so even if the city guard arrested him. The people here knew that the young noble started this whole mess, not Souta.

If it comes to worse then Souta would just use his money to bail himself out after all he didn’t kill anyone in this place. Even if the one he beaten was a noble, Souta knew that he wouldn’t stay in jail for a long period. They would just get his information and asked him a question about the incident.

It tightened to the point that it crushed their bones.

"Argh!!" The knights screamed as several bone-cracking sounds echoed in the whole area.

"You people shouldn’t have disturbed me when I’m having a coffee," Souta muttered as he turned around and canceled the spell.

The young noble and the knights fell down on the ground with a loud "thud" sound. All the bones in their hands and legs were broken.

All the people in the area were looking at him with fear in their eyes. They heard the scream of the knights when Souta broke their bones.

Souta ignored those gazes and he went inside the cafe. He paid the bill of the coffee that he ordered before and the cup that he accidentally crushed.

Souta glanced at the young noble and the knights one more time before he turned around and started to walk.

"Let’s go, Yuko."

Yuko ran after him.

...

The young noble that Souta beat was a spoiled brat. There’s no doubt about it. It’s pretty rare to encounter this type of person. Souta encountered a lot of young nobles in Ladros City but they never mention Yuko to him.

This city was really testing him.

After a few minutes, the city guard arrived in the scene. They found the injured noble and knights. All of them have broken bones. They asked some of the people around the area and understood that a tamer was the one who did this.

Souta was already gone from the scene so they couldn’t found him.

...

Souta went back to Lumilia’s mansion. There, he saw that the Gale Group was doing their job in guarding Lumilia.

"Souta, you’re back." Tidor waved his hand when he saw Souta.

"Yeah. I’m here." Souta nodded with a smile.

"Oh? What happened to Yuko?" Jane saw the small cut on Yuko’s waist so he asked Souta.

"It’s just that someone didn’t know their place so I teach them some lesson." Souta shook his head and said. He didn’t say anything more than this.

"I see..." The Gale Group nodded their head. They didn’t ask anymore since Souta look like he didn’t want to explain it to them.

Souta saw their worried look, so he smiled at them and said, "Don’t worry about it, it’s merely a brat. Even if they went back to me, I will beat all of them including his father."
