The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 156 - You're afraid

’Evil? You can say it like that but I’m clearly not a good guy after all I’ve done just to get stronger.’ Souta said to Saya in his mind.

Just to get stronger, Souta killed and used people for his own benefits. He even devoured their souls to get stronger. He placed his hand inside his pocket and grabbed the circular pendant.

Souta glanced at the mother and child before he went back to Bryan, Lynn, and Cl.u.s.ter.

While walking, Souta opened the pendant and stared at the picture in it. A man, a mature woman, and a little girl were smiling in the picture.

The little girl in the picture has black hair that was tied in twintails. She had pitched black eyes but the center part of it was color brown.

He still had a quest that he hasn’t finish. In this quest, he needed to find the little girl in the picture and gave her this pendant. He also had to tell her her father’s last words.

What about the father of the girl? Souta already killed him back in the Desolate Woods. The father was one of the people who were chasing after Cl.u.s.ter.

’Are you really planning to find the little girl in the picture?’ Saya asked him.

"Yeah, there’s nothing wrong about it. Her father gave me a quest so I will finish it." Souta nodded and said to her.

’Quest? Even if you will not get any benefits from it! You already know what will happen if that girl in the picture know that you’re the one who killed her father.’ Saya said to him.

"Yeah, I know it. It’s the truth. I will not run away from it. If she asked me how her father died, I will tell her that I killed him." Souta muttered in a low voice that only he and Saya could hear.

’There’s no doubt that little girl will try to kill you if she knew it.’ Saya said.

"Yeah, that’s for sure. She have the right to know how her father died so I will tell her if she asked me. But it’s her entire decision if she wanted revenge." Souta said and his tone slowly turned into a cold one. "If she comes at me full of killing intent, then I will not hesitate to do what I need to do."

’You’re strangely out of character today. Is there something in your mind that’s bothering you?’ Saya asked him after she heard his words.

"Nothing." Souta shook his head and he placed back the pendant inside his pocket.

’Also, you’re acting strange this week. I’ve been observing you for a long time so I know if you’re thinking about something.’ Saya said to him.

’What do you mean?’ Souta asked him.

’This week. You’ve been coming to the red light district every day. I know that you only visited the red light district after you’ve experienced a life and death situation to vent your stress.’ Saya explained to him what she found strange in him. She pointed at something. ’Look at you. Your hands are shaking.’

Souta looked at his hands and saw that Saya was right. His hands were trembling and sweating.

’You’re afraid. But I don’t know why you are afraid.’

Souta took a deep breath to calm himself. He was afraid of the upcoming events as he knew that there was no safe place in this world once chaos broke out.

’Use this festival to relax yourself and forget your problem. In the first place, that’s the purpose of this festival. To let the students experience the life of normal students.’

"Right, I’ll do that." Souta nodded his head with a solemn look.

...

Souta gave the bottles of water to his company. Cl.u.s.ter, Lynn, and Bryan, the three of them also received the spicy special barbeque that Souta bought.

He opened the cap of the bottle and drunk the water inside before he looked up at the blue sky. He then suddenly felt something coursing through his body.

"Hmm...?"

Souta closed his eyes and found that his mana began circulating inside his body. It seems that he could finally use his mana once again.

"What’s wrong, Brother Souta?" Cl.u.s.ter asked him with a worried expression as she saw his look.

Lynn and Bryan also looked at Souta and found him with his eyes closed.

After a few moments, Souta opened his eyes. He looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "I’ve just recovered. The side effect of the monster potion is gone. I can finally use my mana once again."

"Oh! That’s a good news! We can finally spar against each other!" Bryan said with an excited expression.

"You can leave it at that. Let’s spar later." Souta said to Bryan.

Bryan, Cl.u.s.ter, and Lynn was happy for Souta. They were glad that he recovered his strength.

"Let’s continue," Souta said to them and everyone agreed to him.

The group continued to walk around the institute visiting the other class. They experience and saw various things that other classes made. In the later part, Bryan left because the theatre play was going to start soon and he needed to prepare.

Cl.u.s.ter grew closer to Lynn and Souta was happy for her that she made another friends. He smiled and thought that this was not bad.

Enjoying time like this was not bad at all.

...

In the harbor near the Maria country, the country in the eastern area of the Melosa country. A group of five people arrived. Three of them were women and two were men. All of them were wearing the same black hooded robe with red linings. It had a symbol of a red-eye on the back of the robe. There were words written in unknown language above the red-eye.

One of the women stepped forward and pulled out her hood. It revealed her flawless face without a hint of any scratch. She had pure white hair and red pupils. Her black lips curved into a smile.

"We’re finally here in the Giza Continent! Disperse and accomplish the task of the Sin!"

She said and the four people behind her vanished.

If Souta was here he would instantly know that these people were the subordinates of the Seven Deadly Sins, one of the Three Bringer of Calamity.

They were the high ranking officers of the Seven Deadly Sins.

...

Somewhere in the God’s Continent.

A group of ten people was inside a dark and wide place. The atmosphere in this place was heavy and chilly. Each one of them possessed unrivaled strength.

They were the ten commandments of the God’s Will.

In front of them was a terrifying creature that existed twenty thousand years ago. The pale armor man that appeared in the Desolate Woods. Beside the pale armor man, was a horse with pale color flames over its body.

The armored man and the horse was tied using a very special chain.

Carmilla, the Commandment of Truth, stepped forwards. She opened her mouth and said, "We’ve already acquired one of the four Authority. We only need three and we’ll be able to make our wish a reality."

"This man is powerful. I wouldn’t be able to capture him if I was alone." Julius, the Commandment of Love, said from the side.

Capturing this man alive was a hard task even for commandments like him. He knew that the power of the user of an Authority was no joke at all. If he made one wrong move, he knew that he would suffer great consequences.

"Finding the other three Authority is going to be a hard task. But we have to accomplish it if we want to make our wish come true. We must have patience." The Commandment of Patience said.

"The two original hosts of the Authorities died in the war twenty thousand years ago. Since the hosts were dead, the Authorities found another compatible hosts. And we have to find those hosts." The Commandment of Faith said.

Finding the hosts of the Authorities in this universe was an extremely difficult task even for them. They were only lucky that this armored man was still alive when they checked his burial site. Up until now, they only managed to locate the three original hosts of the Authority. Two were dead, the other one was in their possession, and the last one was unknown.

"We have to find the Authorities even if we have to turn this world upside down." The Commandment of Repose said.

Carmilla looked at them before she opened her mouth and said, "All of us need to make a move, or else we won’t be able to find the Authorities."

"Hahaha, Carmilla is right. We’re going to show the world how God loved them." Julius said as he laughed.

They had to find it. Because time was running out until the next judgement day.

The era was changing and the powerful organization in the dark was starting to move. The Seven Deadly Sins, the Commandments of the God’s Will, and lastly, the Twelve Zodiacs. All of them will bring calamity and chaos in this world.

The gods will once again experience the changing era.
