The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 674: War in Subterranean World: Counter

"I can't..." Dromas said with great effort before he fell. His vision turned completely black and he lost consciousness.

He was the last barbarian in the three nations. His entire clan was massacred five years ago leaving him the sole survivor of the clan. His parents, wife, siblings, and children died pitifully. At that time, he was the Guardian of Palace so he used his authority to investigate the scene. He toppled different areas in the Cartel just to find the culprit.

He even destroyed several small-time organizations and bandits in his rage. In the end, a lot of people changed their impression of him. His temper had also changed due to that incident. He was quick to anger and he could be even seen throwing hands at his subordinate.

It's not good for the country. The Guardian of Palace should be a role model for citizens of Cartel so President Finn decided to relieve him from his position. Boudo replaced him as the Guardian and President Finn promised him that he wouldn't stop investigating the massacre.

Dromas accepted President Finn's proposal. He knew that he had lost his calmness after his family died so he wasn't suited for that position. He investigated the crime alone and found clues that led to the Government of Cartel.

At that time, he realized that if he wanted to know the truth he had to go against the entire Cartel.

"So much for being the strongest..." Souta muttered.

The leader of the Rebel Army, the former Guardian of Palace, had fallen in the middle of the country that he once served before. He was defeated by warriors from Athen's Champion.

The marvelous strategy and techniques of Darwin and Souta triumphed over the most powerful expert of the three nations, Dromas Rockmoor.

"I guess... It's not bad..." Souta laughed to himself. This battle gave him insight and it was very important regarding his current battle style. After everything settled down, he would try to make time for himself to sharpen his battle style.

'Life and death battle was really important if a person wants to improve their techniques.' He said inwardly while looking at the vajra sword.

He picked it up with his left hand and slowly approached Dromas' body. His right arm hasn't completely regenerated. It would probably take five minutes before it grew back.

'Too strong... Every time he hit me it only left me five percent of my total health. The [Armored Scale Formation], [Shadow Cloak], gravitational field, and natural protective field were all shattered in just one attack. No, he would've killed me if I didn't avoid getting hit in my heart and head.'

No matter what, Dromas power level was still above him and he would be having a hard time if he relied on his strength to kill this guy. A dark grade sword was one of the keys to kill this tough guy.

Souta looked at the sword in his hand. His hand was trembling as he felt contorting pain all over his body. It felt like someone was crushing his heart.

"Fuck... I just used my release form for a few minutes and yet, I could barely hold my weapon."

He said in a low voice. He still had energy left thanks to him using [Insta Regen] and he still had the stamina to move. The reason why he couldn't move before was that the bones, tendons, and muscles were ripped apart.

But this feeling was different... It was the effect of using his release form. This was also the reason why he wants to avoid using [Monster Orb Release]. It means that even if he had full stamina and best feram at this moment, he wouldn't be able to fight properly.

"You're strong..."

Souta said in a cold tone as he raised the sword above his head. He gritted his teeth as he endured the pain he was feeling. The best feram flowed on the blade of his sword.

Ohm!

Suddenly, Dromas' shadow moved and unexpectedly a figure rose from it. In an instant, the shadow moved in front of Souta.

Swoosh!!

It was as if time had slowed down. Souta's attention was still on Dromas and he didn't even notice the shadow in front of his face. No, it was just that the shadow was so fast as if time had slowed down in its presence.

The shadow moved its hand rapidly. It seems to vanish as it shot through Souta's body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A hand grabbed Souta's shoulder and pulled him behind. Then, another person appeared and it quickly launched a series of thrusts using a rapier.

Bang! Bang!

Souta was thrown out and rolled on the ground before a shockwave blew him several meters away. He stabilized his footing and noticed that he had dozens of holes in his body.

"Damn, I already know this but it seems that it is still beyond my league... I almost died."

He cursed as he slowly retreated hundreds of meters away. With his current condition, he had no way to fight and even if he was at his peak he wouldn't be able to last long in this upcoming battle.

He knew the limit of his current power level. His power of gravity carried the monster orbs and Grain Leader Darwin with him.

"You!! How did you know?!" The shadow was surprised. That monster would've died under his hand if these two didn't intercept him. He wanted to know how these two discovered him hiding inside the Rebel Army Leader's body.

The shadow around his body slowly dissipated revealing a demi with characteristics of a wolf. His name was Josen, the Third Executive of the Red Matter Association.

"That's what I want to know too?" One of the two warriors shrugged his shoulder helplessly.

"Then, how?" Josen asked in a low tone before he brandished a pair of daggers on his waist.

The two warriors looked at each other. The other one opened his mouth and said, "Well, it's not us that found you. It's the Squad Leader Souta. From the beginning, we're already here waiting for your appearance."

"So sorry that we busted your plan. From now on, we are your opponents." The other warrior said.

These two strong warriors were the two Grain Leaders of the Fourth Set that helped the Third Set's mission.

"Shit! You are getting on my nerves!" Josen mumbled. He turned his attention on Dromas and kicked him. "This guy is useless... He didn't even know that I was the one who massacred his clan."

His body was instantly covered in darkness before he dashed forward with insane speed.

Boom!! Boom!!

The battle started and Souta was watching them from afar. The monster orbs were floating around him giving off a strange luster that flowed in his body.

Using his gravity powers, he gently laid Darwin on the ground. Darwin just fainted from overworking his body. After all, he's the one who protected Souta from Dromas series of punches.

"Our role here is done..."

He muttered as he sat on the ground. Footsteps came from behind and stood beside him. Souta didn't even turn his head. He already knew that they were coming.

There were two warriors behind him. The Tenth Grain Wise Leader and Seventh Grain Virgin Leader.

"This is a serious matter. I didn't think that Grain Leader Darwin would fall. Luckily, he's alive." The Seventh Grain Virgin Leader said.

"The two of you have taken down the pillars of the Rebel Army. It's time to change the tide of war to our side." The Tenth Grain Wise Leader added.

"Then, I'm going out now..." Souta said politely before he stood up. He gave them a salute before he left with unconscious Darwin.

These two warriors would help the two Fourth Set Grain Leaders in defeating the Third Executive. They needed at least much power to defeat one of the highest executives of the Red Matter Association.

Twenty minutes later...

Souta was sitting on the walls of the Cartel, watching the battlefield. Everything was moving according to his plan.

"Let's see what Red Matter will do in this situation..."

The two Grain Leaders of the Fourth Set were already with Souta from the very beginning. They just didn't show themselves to fight Dromas. They just keep their distance from the battle and watch the scene carefully. So when Josen appeared, the two quickly moved to intercept him.

As for the other two Grain Leaders, it was a preparation that Souta finished. He, along with the two leaders of the Fourth Set, eliminated their opponents and created a scenario for Souta and Darwin to fight.

His perception noticed the presence of the Third Executive. That's why Souta didn't join the battle as soon as he teleported using his [Shadow Ball].

The moment he stepped foot in the three nations, Souta scattered his [Doppelganger] along with his [Shadow Ball] for different reasons. One of them was completed. To find and eliminate the leader of the Rebel Army.

The tide of war was slowly changing to their side. The morale of the rebels plummeted after they knew that their leader was killed. He arranged it so that it would look like some natives from three nations killed Dromas. It was to create a hero among the people of these nations and this would boost their morale.

It would have a different impact if the person that killed Dromas came from a foreign land. The impact on the masses and rebels would be different.

"I'll step on the sideline for now," Souta said as one of the monster orbs landed on his palm.
