The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 319 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Epilogue

Now that the quest was complete, Souta was sure that the forces of the Deadly Sins left this city.

He turned around and went towards district three. He was sure that Lumilia and the rest fought in that place. He didn’t know the outcome of the battle.

On his way, he saw the devastation that the Deadly Sins brought in this border city. It was horrible. A lot of corpses and body parts of people were scattered everywhere.

No matter where he looked, he could see dead people.

The bustling city was reduced into rubble. Everything within his sight was demolished.

After a few minutes, Souta arrived in district three. He could see some of the adventurers and city guards that were alive. They were exhausted and full of injuries.

He saw Alice standing in front of a pile of dead bodies with a spear in her hand. She had a gloomy expression on her face and blood dyed her clothes.

"Alice."

He approached her and Alice looked at him.

"Oh, your back, Souta!"

Her spear turned back into a small metal pole and she placed it in her pocket.

"Where’s the rest?" He asked as he checked her condition.

Alice has a lot of injuries in her body but it’s not life-threatening so she should be fine after a simple rest.

"I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. Brando, Bryan, and Cl.u.s.ter are missing. We couldn’t contact them ever since the attack started." She said as she waved her hand.

"That..." Souta frowned when he heard her words. That’s a big problem. Oh? There’s a festival today so they let Cl.u.s.ter play outside but no one expected that the Deadly Sins would attack today.

"Okay, I understand the situation. For now, let’s go to Lumilia." Souta said to her after contemplating what he should do.

"Okay, I’ll follow you." Alice nodded at him. "But first, let’s check Yujin."

Souta agreed to her. While they were walking Alice explained to him what happened in this place.

After listening to her, Souta learned everything about the attack of the Deadly Sins. He understood why Lumilia opened their treasury for the people. Lumilia was the vice-commander so she had the authority to open it. Also, Souta left everything to her after their talk.

He was satisfied by her actions. She did great as the vice-commander of the Dark Oculus Legion.

He didn’t expect that she would command the scattered forces of the merchants, adventurers, and city guards.

About Yujin, it seems that Yujin pushed himself by fighting a six-circle officer. That level of opponent was currently out of their league so they had to check if he was fine.

Souta was sure that Yujin was fine. His spirit wouldn’t let him die easily and he also knew the true power of spirit contractor.

Fighting while supporting his allies. Yujin didn’t even try to hide his power in this battle. Soon, everyone will know that he was a spirit contractor from legends.

The two arrived and found Yujin on the ground.

Yujin slightly moved his head when he heard footsteps approaching his direction. He didn’t have the strength to stand and fight after using that much spirit power.

"Where the hell did you go, Souta? Do you know how much I suffered because of you?" Yujin said jokingly. He knew that Souta was fighting inside the institute.

"Haha, look at you. You know how to joke now." Souta laughed as he helped Yujin stand up.

"I can’t help it. I’m fighting those powerful people from the Deadly Sins. I don’t even know if I will survive or not after seeing that giant monster lord." Yujin said in a low voice.

He loses his hope when he saw the Underground King appeared. It was indeed terrifying and he’s not the only one who felt that way. The other people too felt it including Souta.

Souta was about to reply when the ground shook heavily and a loud sound of an explosion echoed in the sky.

Boom!

Souta, Alice, and Yujin quickly looked at the sky. They only saw a blinding light flashed in the sky. They couldn’t help but squinted their eyes because they couldn’t look at it directly.

Ohm!

After a few moments, a wave of mana and best feram swept out in the whole city. The two energy came from the blinding light in the sky.

It seems that the fight between Leo and the Underground King was getting on a larger scale.

’Even in ancient times, there are only a few people that could match those two.’ Saya whispered. The power of the Underground King and the Zodiac Leo was greater than she imagined. These two were stronger than most of the gods in her time.

She could imagine how the present will surpassed the past.

Souta clenched his fist as he looked at the sky. He swore to himself that he will surpass those two powerful creatures that were fighting in the sky.

The scale of this battle made him remember all the big battles that he partakes in the game.

’They are too far. Soon, you will not be able to feel the aftershocks.’ Saya said to him.

After hearing this, Souta confirmed that Leo was really taking the Underground King away from this city.

’Damn! It seems that a lot of powerful people are after me.’ Souta said inwardly. He then shook his head and looked at Alice and Yujin. "Let’s go now, I think they are moving away from this city. If not then we wouldn’t be standing at this moment."

The three went to the headquarters of their operation. There... he saw Lumilia, Lynn, merchants, and Lumilia’s father.

Ursus was writhing in pain as his left arm was gone. There was a huge hole in his stomach. Blood was flowing out of his wounds and Lumilia was helping him. Lumilia looked tired and her face was pale. While Lynn had the same complexion and she was coughing blood.

The other people were assisting them but all of them looked tired. It was easy to guess just by looking at their face.

’These two... They really pushed themselves too far.’ Souta sighed as he massaged his temples.

Alice and Yujin approached them and called them out.

"Vice-commander, we’re back. The commander is also here."

Lynn and Lumilia quickly turned their head when they heard the word ’commander’. There’s only one commander of their legion and that man was the founder who built this legion.

"S-Souta!"

Lynn muttered before she fell down. Before she reached the ground, Alice caught her in her arms.

Ursus opened his eyes and looked at Souta. "You’re here... boy..." He still had a painful looked on his face.

Lumilia opened her eyes widely and her lips trembled when she saw his figure. She tightly clenched her fists and ashamed at the result of her command.

Before she could say anything, Souta stepped forward and patted her head.

"You did great. You’ve accomplished something great this time so don’t worry about everything."

Lumilia’s eyes started to moist as she bit her lower lips. She then wrapped her arms around Souta and buried her face in his chest. "B-But... C-Cl.u.s.ter... W-We couldn’t... Protect her..." She said in a muffled voice.

Souta sighed as he let her hugged him. He lifted his hands and caressed her back. He didn’t say anything as he wanted her to vent out her frustration so that she could calm down.

"P-Please... Souta... Help... Cl.u.s.ter..." She mumbled while sobbing. She blamed herself for what happened to Cl.u.s.ter. If she only focused on finding Cl.u.s.ter then maybe she could save her.

*Ding!*

[Quest Triggered!]

[Finding]: Lumilia is blaming herself. Help her find the people that kidnapped Cl.u.s.ter.

Rewards: 10,000 exp, 3 skill points, and 8 free attribute points

Souta didn’t know what happened to Cl.u.s.ter but he had an idea about it after looking at the details of the quest.

Simply looking for Cl.u.s.ter was worth 3 skill points? It seems that this quest will lead them to something big.

Souta narrowed his eyes and he subconsciously emitted killing intent. "You don’t need to ask me. Even without your quest, I will still find her. I will slaughter those people that dared to do this to my people..."

After a few dozen minutes, Lumilia managed to calm down. She was sitting at the corner while looking at the ground.

"Alice said to me that you don’t have contact with Bryan and the rest," Souta said as he glanced at her.

"Yes, but Lynn awakened an ability that let her observe what’s happening in this city," Lumilia replied to him.

"Ability...?" Souta tilted his head with a confused expression and recalled a phenomenon that occurred before. "Don’t tell me... the [Eye of Perception]..."

"Yes, Lynn awakened a legendary ability. She used it to find Bryan, Brando, and Cl.u.s.ter who went missing after the Deadly Sins attacked." Lumilia said as she turned her head and looked at Souta.

"I see... I understand what happened and the reason why Lynn was injured is because the monster lord dispelled the [Eye of Perception]." Souta nodded his head as he rubbed his chin.

He recalled how the monster lord shot energy at the giant eye in the sky.

Still... He didn’t expect that Lynn was the one who activated the [Eye of Perception]. She really had a talent for being a sensory type.
