The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 683: War in Subterranean World: Death

Argh!!

The man screamed as a huge cut appeared on his upper body. It broke all of his defense and caused huge damage to him.

He looked at Souta with a terrified expression. His instinct was screaming at him to run away. The bloodlust seeping out of this monster's body rooted him on the spot.

Souta arrived in front of this man. He swung down the vajra sword with all of his might. Black lightning and crimson colored energy rolled around the blade before it flashed forward, spewing a huge energy blade.

"N-NO!!! Y-YOU CAN'T....!!!" The man yelled as he looked at the blade.

The next moment, the huge energy blade landed on his body. It blew him several hundreds of meters away leaving a trail of black lightning and blood. A huge cut could be seen on his cheeks down to his stomach. His bones and internal organs were visible and it apparently received damage.

He was caught off guard and it led him to his current condition.

Souta was about to swing his sword once again when veins and muscles in his right arm exploded. It had reached its limit.

Huff~

He exhaled as he turned his head to the crumbling ceiling. The vicious aura around his body had disappeared. The [Soul Blood Mode] and [Yin Yang Unification] were turned off and his body returned to its normal stature.

He fully drained all of the energy in his monster orb and [Nebula Heart]. Even the energy he stored in his parasite was consumed. He felt dry and placed his hand in his pocket.

After knowing that the monster orbs were still here, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had a total of 11 monster orbs of a fifth stage and he only drained 2. So he still has 9 remaining orbs. He only brought 4 monster orbs of a fifth stage in this mission and leave the rest in his base. As for the rest of the third stage monster orbs, Yuko and Doranjan would use them in their training.

He turned around and found that the remaining two enemies were finished. The Squad Leaders worked together to defeat those two. Although they didn't have regeneration abilities like him, they were still powerhouses at Two Shackles and Three Shackles Realm.

"Finally..."

After a minute, Souta could move his arm once again. He looked at the vajra sword in his hand and threw the sword at the man directly nailing him to the ground.

He approached the man and pulled out the sword. Then, he noticed something strange. He reached out his hand and moved the man's shirt to the side. A tattoo of a red axe and pink flower was reflected in his eyes.

"This...? They aren't from Red Matter Association."

After a careful thought, he found this normal. This man should be a spy from another organization like the one from the Fone Kingdom. The leader of the Red Matter Association should have known about this fact but he just let them be.

It's impossible to not notice all the spies.

"Squad Leader Souta."

Souta turned his head when someone called him. He found that it was one of the Squad Leaders of the Fourth Set. This warrior's left arm was missing, his armor was full of cracks, and blood was dripping out of his body.

Looking at the condition of this Squad Leader, Souta was glad that he had a parasitic essence eater in his body.

"What is it?" He asked.

"That girl. We can't save her. She called you brother so you must have known her." The Squad Leader said as he pointed at Airi. He shook his head with a sad look and continued, "That girl shows a strong will befitting of a true warrior. Unfortunately, we don't have any first aid and potions here."

"Damn it!" Souta cursed as he walked forward with heavy footsteps. He approached the girl named Airi.

One of the warriors looked at Souta. He shook his head and said, "She wanted to give this to you."

Souta stared blankly at the [Flame Unity Robe]. An uncomfortable feeling was swelling in his heart and he couldn't describe it.

Huff~

He inhaled as he squatted down and held her soft dainty hand. He could feel that she was still breathing but it was slowing down. Her organs were badly damaged.

"B-Bro...ther...?" Airi said in a low voice. Her vision was blank so she couldn't see Souta's figure but she could still remember this hand. The hand that helped her when she was in despair.

"Yes, I'm here," Souta said as he lowered his head. He was racking his brain trying to find a way to save this girl.

Her body was too weak so transferring a parasite would only consume her vitality. As for potions? The Fourth Set didn't have any left. After all, they've helped millions of civilians from the three nations and the heavily injured civilians received potions.

They didn't have enough supply since no one expected that there would be too many civilians in this place. No one even knew about the subterranean world hidden below the Mirror Lake. They only thought that it was an ancient ruin.

"T-Thank you... for... saving us..." Airi said before she drew her last breath.

Souta tightly held her hand as he gritted his teeth. He rarely saved people on his own accord without the System's Mission yet he failed. He failed that couldn't even guarantee her safety.

He carefully put down her hand before he took the [Flame Unity Robe]. He wore it and then he looked above. He stared at the little soul in the air and flashed a gentle smile.

"Thank you. I will never forget you."

He said from the bottom of his heart. It was thanks to Airi that the focus of the three enemies had diverted. If not for her, the warriors wouldn't have an opportunity to launch an attack.

'Fucking Scarlet Axe!!'

Scarlet Axe. The organization of the man that he just killed. He would thoroughly destroy them later and ripped their bodies apart.

'Souta! Calm yourself!! Don't let your instinct consume you!' Saya warned him. Her voice was filled with vigilance as it reverberated in his head.

Argh!

Souta gritted his teeth as he forcefully chopped his right hand. The aura of the fifth stage before nearly destroyed his senses and now that this happened it was hard to control his emotions. He was going to lose his mind at this rate. He would become the same as those monsters in the monster tide. A mindless creature that wouldn't stop unless they were killed.

He couldn't let that happen. He didn't want to lose his rationality.

"Hey!!"

"Squad Leader Souta!!"

"What are you doing?!"

The Squad Leaders were stupefied when they saw him chop his hand. They couldn't understand what he was trying to do by cutting his hand off.

Souta looked at them with an aghast face and said, "Huff... Don't worry... I'm just controlling myself... You know... The effect of that fifth stage monster... I'm afraid that I would join... The monster tide..."

Suddenly, he heard an ear-piercing sound in his mind. It caused his face to distort as he fell down on his knees. He was pale and understood what happened just now.

He looked at his body and noticed that the regeneration had stopped. The Queen Parasite had reached her limit and couldn't heal his wounds anymore.

'It's bad... At least, the parasite closed all of the life-threatening wounds. They aren't fully healed but it wouldn't kill me.' He said inwardly.

The Squad Leaders totally forgot that he was a monster. His actions and mannerisms were different from other monsters so they subconsciously thought that he was a demi-human. If not for the best feram lingering in the atmosphere and the appearance of his release form, they wouldn't believe that Souta was a monster.

"This girl... We'll bury her as a true warrior."

"Yeah, I'm grateful to her." Souta smiled gently as he patted Airi's head. In this life, she was one of the people who earned his respect. Even though she was weak, she still faced her fear without looking back.

Boom!!

Suddenly, all of them turned their heads as they heard a loud bang on the Aranhgrad.

"VANDAAAL!!"

"AVROOON!!

A ring-shaped shockwave exploded as two figures collided. These two were Vandal and Avron. The Chief Captain of the Third Set and Founder of the Red Matter Association. Both of them were childhood friends yet they were fighting to death at this moment.

"The descendant of gods didn't care about us! They are covering up all the crimes that they did! Gods didn't even help us at all!" Avron roared as he launched a series of punches.

"Avron! You're blinded by your rage!!" Vandal shouted as he tried to block all of Avron's punches.

Both of them were at their limit. Their attacks weren't as powerful as before but it was still enough to dismantle any Three Shackles Realm expert.
