The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

"You're strong but you lack understanding of energy!"

Franklin said before his body inflated turning into a vicious-looking pile of flesh. With parasite transformation, he didn't look like a demi at all. If he told someone that he was a monster they would likely believe him.

Just looking at his appearance, it was no different from other monsters.

"What the fuck is that?!" Amune was horrified. He didn't know what was with his opponent.

Franklin charged forward and swung the huge blades in his hand.

Amune gritted his teeth as he crossed his arms. The blades slammed heavily on his arms and the terrifying force within made his body tremble. The floor beneath his feet cracked as dust shot up in the air.

Franklin's strength had grown stronger once again. In terms of physical state, Amune realized that this guy was higher than him.

BAM!!

"You're strong! But you are also weaker than any Shackled Realm in Astros!" Franklin raised his feet and delivered his leg on Amune's side, sending him in the air.

Amune sprung in the mid-air and his body turned into a stream of light flying at Franklin with unbelievable speed. Franklin faced him with a huge smile on his face.

BOOM!!

The collision produced a powerful shockwave that destroyed the houses around them. The world got stronger, things got tougher, and the expert had their strength restricted due to the dense mana in the atmosphere. But they could still produce devastating powers.

Both of them collided hundreds of times in just a second. It devastated everything within a radius of five hundred meters. If the soldiers didn't help evacuate the civilians, a lot of people would die from their collision.

While they were fighting, Third Head arrived near the battlefield with Ninth Head. They just finished their job and went here because of the intense mana fluctuations in the atmosphere.

"Hey, hey, hey, who's that old man?" Ninth Head exclaimed while watching the battle. She turned her small body to the person beside her.

"I don't know. He's trashing that Amune." Third Head said with a yawn. She used her soft, white, and dainty hand to cover her mouth.

"Tch! Amune! That bastard didn't expect that he would meet his match today!" Ninth Head clicked her tongue as she placed both of her hands on her hips before she laughed. "Hahaha! You deserve it!"

But who is that old man?

Should they help the old man or help Amune?

At this moment, they didn't know who was on their side. Maybe, none of them were on the side of the Dragon Council.

"Yawn... I'll just sit here for a while. Call me if you need me." Third Head sat on the corner and hugged her knees. She gave the battle one more glance before she closed her eyes.

"Okay," Ninth Head nodded before she focused her attention on the battle. "Ow! Man!! Amune is weaker than I imagined! Ah, his elemental mastery is too low!"

"Geez, if the mana density didn't increase they would've destroyed this city! I should contain the shockwaves!"

Ninth Head stepped forward and pressed both of her hands together. A small green energy sphere formed and it emitted a gentle light. A magic circle formed beneath her feet as a tremendous amount of mana gushed out of her small body.

[Curtain of the Peaceful Forest]!

She hurled the energy sphere into the sky and it exploded causing green liquid to fall down like rain. The liquid continued to flow and each drop was blocking shockwave after shockwave.

It formed a clear green curtain that covered the entire area.

"It's my first time using this after the mana density increase but... the range of my spell is inferior than last time."

Looking at her spell, Ninth Head sighed. The power of One Shackle Realm had decreased tremendously. She could cover the entire city before but now the range only spans several hundred meters.

If it was in the high world, she would be able to envelop an entire country. In the mid world, it would span several countries and if it was lower world it would cover an entire continent.

Her strongest attack would even be able to crush huge cities.

"Shit! That old man looked like a monster! What's wrong with those wriggling flesh?! Ew! So ugly!"

BOOM!!

Franklin laughed madly. He swung the huge blades in his hand but his opponent avoided it. Then, he opened his palm and a ball of energy formed.

He threw it and Amune roared before punching the energy ball. The explosion occurred but it didn't bother him at all. He rushed toward Franklin while raising both of his hands above his head.

Intense flames burst out causing the temperature to rose sharply.

"Ah!"

Franklin once again swung the huge blades heavily. The blades flashed a bright light and they collided with the flames.

BOOM!!

Amune's figure was blown away. He rolled in mid-air before crashing to the ground. His body was full of wounds and he realized that he was weaker than his opponent.

His equipment was just purple grade and his combat arts were lower too. It couldn't compare to Franklin who had orange-grade equipment and high level combat arts from Athen's Champion.

He stood up with great effort. He knew that he had to escape somehow but there was a problem with the surrounding. He felt the aura of two other One Shackle Realm experts. One of them didn't even bother to hide it before casting a spell to contain the shockwaves of the battle.

"Shit!! With those two, it's harder to escape!"

Amune cursed. He looked around to find an escape when the smoke was cut into two. Then, a huge blade of energy flew at him with unbelievable speed.

[Unbind Slash]!!

Goosebumps spread on his body as he felt danger coming from the slash. He tried to escape but one of his legs was sliced apart.

"ARGH!!"

Amune screamed as a huge amount of blood gushed out from his leg. His palm turned bright red and heat waves came out of it. He reached out and grabbed his leg, using the heat to stop the blood loss.

Thud!

Franklin landed in front of him causing his heart to skip a beat. He was terrified and he didn't even dare to move.

Franklin stared at Amune with a puzzled look. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Don't you know Element Drive? You lose your legs because you didn't use it."

"Huh? E-Element Drive...? Do you think anyone could use it?" Amune didn't expect such question so he answered subconsciously.

"Oh...!" Franklin raised his eyebrows, staring intently at Amune. He forgot that not everyone could easily master [Element Drive]. He had been used to seeing it so he thought that everyone have learned it.

Back in Athen's Champion, even those Solidifying Realm warriors have learned [Element Drive]. So all the Shackled Realm warriors could use this technique, and the Astros were the same.

Yet, this One Shackle Realm didn't even know how to utilize elemental power.

"I haven't even used mine so I thought you had one. You are weaker than I expected. Maybe, the other man is stronger than you. I shouldn't have let that man leave." Franklin said before raising his hand.

Amune's mind buzzed when he heard Franklin's words. This guy... could use [Element Drive]? There's no way he could escape after learning this.

"Haha! I lose..."

A dry laugh escaped from his mouth as he stared at those gigantic blades. The last thing he saw before his vision turned black was Franklin swinging those savage blades.

Franklin's body turned back to normal. He sighed and stretched his body.

"That was a good fight! Luckily, I didn't use [Element Drive] quickly or the battle would end. But it still isn't enough for me. I want to use all of my powers!"

​ He turned his head and looked at the two people in a distance. He didn't see these two cane out of the meeting room so they weren't probably enemies.

Franklin shook his head and glanced at the unconscious Amune. He didn't kill Amune since this guy probably knew something about this incident. He also wanted to ask about the man who left before and what was their relationship.

"I'll bring you to meet the leader." He stretched his hand and grabbed Amune's head. He started to walk in the direction where he could feel Souta's energy.

Suddenly, he recalled something. The green curtain was still active so he wouldn't be able to leave this place until he shattered it or the caster deactivated the spell.

"I need to go now. Can you dispel your spell?" He said before he continued to walk.

Ninth Head stared at Franklin from a distance. Her mouth turned into an "O" shape as she gaped at him dragging Amune's body.

"Whoa! He's really an old man! And what the hell is that flesh before?! Is that a type of combat art or spells?"

She turned her head to Third Head and asked, "Hey, what should we do? Should we follow the old man or hold him here?"
