The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

"Argh!!"

Eztein groaned in pain as there were dozens of light blades stabbed all over his body. He couldn't move at all.

"Let me finish this battle," Eilish said in a cold tone.

The moment her voice fell, various magic circles glow up in the entire area.

Ohm!

The mana in her mana pool was quickly leaving her body. She was providing energy to all the magic circles in the air. The consumption was high but the firepower it possessed was tremendous.

"Shit!" Looking at this scene, Eztein could only force a smile on his face. He knew that there was no chance for him to block all these spells. Even if he could block some of the spells then what about the others?

Swoosh!

In the next moment, the magic circles reached their limits. Eilish activated the spells one by one. Various spells were used almost at the same time.

Flames, lightning, and every common element rushed at Eztein. Some of the spells even reduced his movement speeds, defense, and attack power.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

From offensive to support spells were launched one after another without any delay.

Boom!!

"Eilish won," Souta said in a low voice when he saw this scene.

"Yep, it's problematic. I have to devise a plan to counter her bombardment if I faced her." Alice said with a serious look.

"Do you think you can win?" Souta asked with a smile.

"I can if I use all of my demon power, probably. Unfortunately, I couldn't use it so I can only form a plan and improve myself." Alice shook her head. She wasn't sure if she could defeat Eilish in her current form.

"With a little bit of push, she would be able to break her second shackle," Souta said while looking at Eilish. His eyes were adjusting and he could see cracks in one of the shackles around her.

She would reach the Two Shackles Realm. At that time, she would gain enormous power that could match some of the Squad Leaders in Athen's Champion.

"She's at the limit?!" Alice was a little bit surprised when she heard Souta's words, but she quickly calm down after a careful thought. She realized that Eilish was stuck at One Shackle Realm for a long time in the sub-world, so it was natural that she would reach the Two Shackles after staying at Imperium.

"Yep, probably she'll successfully break it next month. I'm looking forward to her power-up." Souta said.

...

"The winner of the battle is... Lady Eilish!!" Meina said as she raised her soul weapon. Her voice echoed throughout the entire area.

Eilish smiled before she descend to the ground. She looked at her body and saw some of her wounds.

She sighed. She was different from these people. She didn't have any parasites so she didn't have that powerful regeneration ability.

She shook her head and walked away.

Meina talked to the audience first while a group of earth mages started to fix the arena.

The entire arena was gone and all that was left were deep valleys. Different parts of the arena had different temperatures and the aura of the two fighters before was still lingering in the atmosphere.

It would take thirty minutes to fix the arena. So the audience could still do other things before the battle started. They could finish some important things in their homes.

"While we are waiting for the earth mages to fix the arena, I invited a guest here," Meina said as she pointed at the person beside her. "The chief of Noxious, the Great Sir Franklin!!"

"Ohhhhh!!" The audience roared.

"Sir Franklin, I have a question for you," Meina said as she placed her soul weapon closer to Franklin.

"What is it?" Franklin asked.

"According to my sources, you're one of the great sponsors of the Tournament of Astros. Is this true?" Meina asked.

"Yes, I've used most of the wealth that I earned in Athen's Champion. I'm also the one who pushed through and made this event possible." Franklin's answer was simple.

"Can I ask why?"

"It's just that I want to fight these guys badly. Our lord forbids us to fight each other but with this tournament, we can fight to our heart's content."

Such an answer was really like Franklin's. He never change at all and he would always seek the thrill of fighting.

"This old man..."

Souta smiled as he recalled the time when he first met this guy. The Prison World under the rule of the Great Astley Empire. At that time, he freed all the prisoners and declared war against the empire. He established the Liberation White Army and fought the empire in different sub-worlds.

Franklin was one of the people who followed him in the war.

He wondered that perhaps if Franklin was a monster, he would crave the desire to murder all creatures. He wouldn't resist and simply fight until he loses all of his stamina and energy. Eventually, he would die like a puppet.

"Thank you for your words, Chief Franklin!!" Meina bowed as Franklin walked away. Although Franklin's answer was out of her expectation, she needed to be cool-headed as she was a professional.

She smiled and faced the audience. Waving her hands at the audience, she slowly opened her mouth and said,

"Now, the next battle is going to start soon! I'll name our two fighters! The battle this time will be between Young Miss Yenxa and a fellow witch called Leef!"

Souta widened his eyes. He didn't expect that Yenxa would join the tournament too. As far as he knows, her combat power wasn't enough to defeat a top-level S-rank. The contestant of the upper tournament was either Shackled Realm or Peak Solidifying Realm.

'Well, it's her decision. She must have wanted to test her strength.'

He smiled as he cast his eyes down. Even if she suffered a defeat, she would be able to gain experience in this battle.

As for her opponent, Leef. She was a young genius woman from the witch clan. When Souta and the others fought Clan Leader Rowan, she was only at the high-stage S-rank. But now, she improved herself and achieved the peak S-rank.

She was one of the young people whom the old witches hoped to achieve the Shackled Realm.

"If Yenxa's opponent is an initial stage there's a chance... She's already fortunate that she hasn't faced Eztein or Eilish."

Souta muttered to himself. Even he could barely defeat a One Shackle Realm with the help of others when he was at the peak third stage. Naturally, she wouldn't stand a chance if she met any Shackled Realm.

"Actually, I said to her that she should join the lower tournament but she insisted on joining the upper." Alice suddenly said.

"It's fine. It's her decision." Souta smiled. "Also, don't underestimate Yenxa. After becoming a Vicious Terra, her toxins could affect low S-rank but it will take a lot of time."

The two fighters enter the arena.

Leef was a young woman in her early twenties. She had blue hair and round blue eyes. Her body was covered in a dark blue robe and it couldn't hide her curves.

At this moment, Leef was observing Yenxa. She knew this young monster. A monster with a power of toxins and those toxins were the ones that knocked out almost all B-rank witches back then.

Although Yenxa had reached third stage, Leef wasn't worried at all. She had grown stronger too and Yenxa was only in the initial stage. Even if she possessed unbelievable power, it would only reach the intermediate stage. It's still within the scope that she could deal with.

"Let the battle begin!!!" Meina's words indicated that the battle had started.

Yenxa raised her palm and green-colored gas was condensed on top of it. It quickly spread out enveloping the entire arena with poisonous gas.

Leef observed the gas carefully. Then, she brandished the rapier hanging on her waist and swung it down with great force.

Swoosh!

Her slash generated a powerful gust of wind that blows the poisonous gas away from her. Then, the tip of her rapier glows in blue light.

With a single thrust, an enormous force shot through ahead. The energy it contained was heavy and dense.

[Sharp Gray Thrust]!

Yenxa jumped to the side to avoid it but she saw that Leef was already in front of her. The distance was close and it would be a problem for her if she engaged with a peak S-rank in close combat.

Leef thrust her weapon once again. This time, Yenxa couldn't completely avoid it. The rapier caused a huge gaping hole in her shoulder.

Yenxa greeted her teeth as she ignored the pain. She continued to jump to create some distance while releasing poisonous gas through her pores.

[Shadow Cloak]!

[Shadow Step]!

A dark cloak formed around her body and her speed increased. Then, dozens of black tentacles rose from the ground.

[Shadow Bind]!
