The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

[Monster Orb Release]!!

Souta's body expanded as a thick and savage-looking exoskeleton wrapped around his body. The energy around him grew stronger as pitch-black spikes protruded on his back. Black tribal tattoos spread out and his crimson hair grew longer.

The explosive release of his power caused an earthquake that shook the entire area.

Souta slightly opened his mouth and puffed out a black smoke. His crimson eyes were glowing in the dark as he stared at Gerxuzs.

"Keke, that's it! Let me respond!" Gerxuzs laughed maniacally but a figure crashed onto his side. He flew and heavily crashed on the ground.

When he looked up, the twin spirits were already pinning him down. The power of twin spirits was related to Souta's power. As long as Souta was strong, the twin spirits would only get stronger. Naturally, no one could underestimate the ability of a universal grade artifact.

"I'll show you!!"

Gerxuzs roared as his energy skyrocketed instantly. The twin spirits were blown away as flame and ice rushed in every direction. The power he exhibit this time was several times stronger than before.

This...

Gerxuzs opened his mouth widely and his sharp teeth grew longer. His black hair fluttered and its color slowly turned into dark red. The pair of horns on the side of his head grew longer. Its huge body burst out in flame as the exoskeleton around him turned into hard and cold ice. The flame and ice didn't contradict each other. In fact, they complimented each other, making Gerxuzs more powerful than ever.

[Monster Orb Release]!!

Gerxuzs stepped forward. His thick tail rammed the ground causing a small earthquake. His sever meter tall body was incomparably huge to Souta's two-meter tall figure. Even the aura he possessed was visibly more powerful than Souta.

"Keke,"

He laughed as the huge battering club in his hand blurred. The next moment, hundreds of shockwaves were sent in Souta's direction.

Souta narrowed his eyes. He swung the [Vajra Sword Saya] and black lightning followed it, dispersing the shockwaves with great effort. As far as he was concerned, Gerxuzs was undoubtedly stronger than the current him.

Bang!! Bang!!

Gerxuzs clashed with Souta and the twin spirits alone. Hundreds of bouts led to him suffering grave injury and the same could be said to Souta. The only difference was that Souta's regenerative ability far surpassed Gerxuzs.

With both of them in their release form, the entire field within a radius of five kilometers was totally devastated.

"Keke, fight! Fight! Fight!"

Gerxuzs laughed madly. He moved his body even faster than before. The huge club in his hand shook as it dispersed the black lightning in the surroundings.

Commander Eili, Eztein, and the others watched the battle in horror. This was far beyond their imagination. High intensity energy was grinding the whole field. People below S-rank would have no way out of that place.

"W-What the hell?!!"

"Why is a level of that monster on our island?!"

The soldiers' expressions were bad. Their mouth was hung open as they stared at the battle from afar.

Bam!!

"I can see that you only tapped it!! It's far from enough!!" Gerxuzs said as his figure appeared in front of Souta.

So fast!

Souta flipped his hand, the [Vajra Sword Saya] glowed brightly releasing an ocean of energy.

[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!!

[Sixth Form: Piercing Thunder Strike]!!

Gerxuzs barely avoided the attacks using his extreme speed. Blocking Souta's attack wasn't good for him. No matter what, Archetype was an extremely powerful skill. He didn't want to face it head-on without preparation.

He wanted to retreat but he was quite surprised to find the Souta appeared beside him. It was too late to retreat. He received a vicious thundering kick on his stomach. The kick contained dark, light, and lightning which pierced through his defenses. His position was knocked apart, but even so, a vicious strike like that was unforgettable to Gerxuzs.

However, Souta's attack was far from over. His figure flashed, creating hundreds of afterimages instantly.

Gerxuzs smirked and faced Souta in the sky. Their figure was too fast and their energy collision created a brilliant spectacle in the sky. The different energy spread out creating a vast net that covered the sky.

BOOM!!!

The two hover in the air. Their battle at similarly high speeds practically was a frightening hurricane. The wind pressures their weapon raised unexpectedly made the ground spray with vast elemental powers. It viciously wiped out every living being in their range of battle.

The more they fought, the more frightening things became, and the more Souta found that he was unable to keep up with his opponent's rhythm.

Gerxuzs' attacks were innumerable, constantly changing, and completely possessed the ultimate intent to destroy his target. It was terrifying beyond belief. His strength, speed, energy, and stamina were far beyond Souta's current ability.

The gap in their power was getting large.

Cough!!

Souta spat a mouthful of blood. His figure flashed and crashed on the faraway small mountain. The mountain shook and all the monsters living within fled quickly.

'Fuck! This is bad!' Souta stood up and used a little bit of parasite ability to control his wounds. To maintain his ability to fight and to get the benefits from [Draw Blood] traits.

'Can you still handle it?' Saya asked gravely.

'Somehow. Well, the battle will be concluded soon.' Souta replied to her.

'You mean...' Saya said, slightly surprised.

'Yeah.' Souta nodded his head as he wiped the trail of blood on the corner of his mouth.

'Still, it's my first time seeing a monster as strong as this one. It's beyond natural.' Saya said. Even her previous wielder hasn't met a fourth stage monster as strong as Gerxuzs. 'It seems that you aren't the only one that is beyond natural, Souta.'

'Of course, Imperium is vast and birthed to countless powerful experts beyond imagination.' Souta smiled wryly.

Gerxuzs landed on the ground like a meteor. The entire place shook under his feet.

"You're far stronger!! Stronger than any peak fourth stage monster that I've fought before!! Before meeting me, you must've thought that you are the strongest fourth stage?!"

Gerxuzs stepped forward. His huge feet shook the ground and his energy spread out causing cracks to spread. In just a second, the monster who couldn't make it in time collapsed because of the high intensity best feram that Souta and Gerxuzs were releasing.

Souta's fierce body stood without flinching. His muscles tightened, ready to go another round of battle against Gerxuzs. He was also prepared to use his remaining aces, the [Soul Blood Earring] and [Yin Yang Bracelet]'s remaining abilities. There's also the Blessing of the God of Hunt.

In case something happened, he wouldn't hesitate to use all of his aces just to survive. The third skill of [Yin Yang Bracelet] and the forbidden spell of [Burning Ring Seal] would greatly tax his body. He wasn't at the level where he could endure the penalty for using these skills.

"You used human and demi's abilities... Quite good but you shouldn't forget your origin." Gerxuzs raised his weapon above his head. "Now die!" when he was about to swing it, his complexion suddenly change.

"Huh?!?"

He turned his head to the side as he narrowed his two pairs of eyes. An ominous aura spread out that made Gerxuzs and Souta trembled uncontrollably. It was as if someone was trying to control their bodies.

"This?!? Trying to suppress me? I may be a fourth stage but I already tapped the beastly instinct to a certain level... Trying to take advantage of emotional instability will barely work against me unless you're a monster lord." Gerxuzs sneered. His aura exploded and the trembling of his muscles calmed down.

Souta coughed and fell onto his knees. He looked up in shock. He didn't expect that Gerxuzs could break free from the suppression of higher level species.

Gerxuzs looked at Souta in contempt. "You unexpectedly rely on human and demi's skills."

Souta couldn't say anything, the suppression was getting stronger.

Gerxuzs also felt a pressure on his shoulder. No matter what, he was only a fourth stage monster. He couldn't fight under the pseudo-suppression for a long time. His figure turned back to a normal five-meter monster and his huge finger tapped Souta's forehead.

"I'll help you once."

Souta felt that the pressure on his body had decreased.

"Next time, I'll hunt you again without interruption. Leave this place immediately." Gerxuzs' figure flashed and shot through the sky like a missile.

Souta looked into the distance and saw a huge monster. The monster's body was enormous, reaching three hundred meters above the ground. Its gigantic body was covered in pitch-black scales and black flames would erupt out of it every second. It was a gigantic serpent, the Nine-Headed Hydra also called as Lernaean Hydra.

Souta pursed his lips seeing Kessa's true body. Gerxuzs never would have imagined that the Nine-Headed Hydra already submitted herself to Souta.

After knowing that his Archetype couldn't improve, Souta already called for Kessa's assistance to fend off that monster. It's a pity that the Archetype couldn't improve for now. If he broke through 50%, he already guess that he would be able to hold Gerxuzs with that much power.
