The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak



The four tribe leaders froze as they sensed the dense and horrific best feram in the atmosphere. 

Emina fell to her knees as she held her neck with both of her hands. She tried to use her energy to protect her from Souta's aura but it was useless. 

Ugh!!

Her power level was only at the intermediate liquefying realm. Souta's aura at a high fourth stage could suffocate her to death. 

Souta glanced at Emina before he retracted his energy. He turned to the tribe leaders and said, "Elder Hanmi..." 

Elder Hanmi nodded. He stepped forward and asked the tribe leaders, "Is there someone helping you?" 

The expression of the four tribe leaders was pale. They lifted their heads and glanced at Souta with fear in their eyes. 

Souta rested his chin on his palm as he observed the tribe leaders with a bored look. 

"Answer the question!!" Elder Hanmi raised his voice. 

"W-Who are you...?" The Bear Tribe Leader didn't answer instead, he asked a question. 

"Hmm..." Souta hummed before he moved his fingers. Several strings of webs flashed on his fingertips. 

Swoosh!! 

In the next moment, the head of the Bear Tribe Leader fell on the floor, splashing blood in every direction. The blood didn't fall on the ground instead, it float above them. 

"T-This ability... N-No... It can't be..." The Four-Arm Tribe leader backed away as he stared at Souta's figure with fear and despair. "Y-You are... the Blood Lightning Monster!!"

"B-Blood Lightning Monster...!!" The other two tribe leaders trembled as they felt a cold chill on their spine. 

Who wouldn't know the Blood Lightning Monster in the entirety of Hall Plains? 

That monster was a powerful fourth stage that stopped the war in the central region with his overwhelming power. Although a lot of people didn't know his appearance, news about Souta circulated around the land. 

The Blood Lightning Monster was also called as the Lord of Hall Plains. 

He was crowned as the strongest of the Hall Plains. 

The Blood Lightning Monster was a Head of the Dragon Council, he was the Seventh Head. Dragon Council become one of the most influential organizations in the Hall Plains after the war. The death of the First Head and Ninth Head weakened their forces a little bit but it was replaced by two people, Alexander and Gerxuzs. 

Enima stared at Souta in shock. She didn't expect that the man she met had a high status. His status was higher than the entire Earthen Woods. 

She was glad that she didn't offend Souta or else she would cause the downfall of her tribe. 

"Blood Lightning Monster...? People gave me a funny nickname. Well, I quite like it." Souta laughed. 

"Answer the question now." Elder Hanmi said to the three tribe leaders. 

"No... We don't have anyone supporting us. We work together so that we could rival the Tanuki Tribe." The Hawk Tribe Leader said. 

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy. The strings of webs moved once again and before anyone could realize it, the Hawk Tribe Leader was sliced apart. 

The same thing happened twice in a row. 

Two tribe leaders had fallen without a chance to fight back. 

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I can differentiate lies from truth," Souta said to them. "He said that no one was helping you guys but I saw lies in his words. It means that someone is helping you so tell me who is it?"

The remaining tribe leaders were shaken. They never expect that they would meet the notorious Blood Lightning Monster like this and it quickly led to the downfall of the two tribe leaders. 

"I don't know who it is... She just appeared in front of us and gave us various resources that increased our military might. Our weapons also came from her. I don't know why she helped us but we could only accept her offer since she was stronger than any of us." The Four-Arm Tribe Leader said. 

"That's right. We used everything that we received to strengthen our tribe so that we could dethrone the Tanuki Tribe." The Tiger Tribe Leader nodded. 

Souta nodded. They really didn't know the person that gave them support to fight the Tanuki Tribe. But he knew that it was a woman. 

He couldn't help but think about the woman that visited him after he woke up. If he remembered correctly, the name of that woman was Layla. 

Layla...

Souta closed his eyes before he waved his hand. Elder Hanmi and the rest of the witches stepped back. 

Hmm...? 

Souta raised his head and said, "We've got a visitor." 

"Visitor?" Elder Hanmi and the rest were confused but they quickly find out as the next second, a powerful aura erupted in the distance. 

Boom!! 

The aura spread out as it shook the entire area. The atmosphere turned chaotic in an instant. 

"Could it be...?" Elder Hanmi widened his eyes as he realized something. He turned his head and glanced at the two corpses on the floor. 

"Yeah, the woman that helped them planted a mark in their bodies. The mark disappeared since I killed two tribes leaders so the perpetrator realized it." Souta nodded and explained.

He stood up and patted his clothes. He was about to exit the room when he remember something. 

"I forgot." 

Souta pointed his finger at the remaining tribe leaders and wrapped them around with webs. 

The only thing he was wondering about was why the perpetrator show herself. 

Is she confident with her skills? Or maybe she didn't know that he is here?

Nevertheless, this was a good thing for Souta since he didn't have to waste his time to find the person behind the scene. 

Souta came out of the house and looked up. He frowned as he didn't expect what he saw. The person floating in the air was a tall man wearing a white robe. 

"Of course, the culprit will not show themselves easily but I wonder if this man is involved." 

Souta muttered as he stared at the man. 

"Wait..."

He turned his head and pointed his finger at the witches. The aura of this man was pressuring everyone behind him. 

There's no need to doubt that this newly arrived man was strong. 

"What do we have here? A powerful fourth stage appeared in the scene!" The unknown man said with a smile. 

Souta observed the man for a few seconds before he said, "Why are you here? State your reason for disrupting this land." 

"And if I don't?" The man asked. 

"I'm gonna force the answer out of your mouth." Souta coldly stared at the person floating in the air. He added, "I have one thing I want to add. You are no match for me. You will suffer if you try to fight me."

He could see that this man didn't have any artifacts higher than orange grade, so it all comes down to the skill he was hiding, but he doubt that would work too.

"Your ego is too high..." The man said as the smile on his face disappeared. 

Souta glanced left and right. 

"There are too many people here. I think we need to change the battlefield." 

Since this was the base camp of the allied tribes, there were other people here aside from the tribe leaders. Their army was situated here but almost everyone was on their knees, struggling to keep their senses due to the pressure of the unknown man's aura. 

"If you want to fight me then you have to bring someone at Four Shackles," Souta said before he charged towards the man. 

Swoosh!! 

In an instant, he arrived before his opponent. Souta opened his palm and grabbed the man's face then he threw him up in the air. 

Boom!! 

A loud sound echoed as the man was thrown several hundred meters above the ground. 

"W-What...?" 

The man was shocked. He couldn't believe that the monster was faster than him. It was beyond his comprehension as he never expected that a fourth-stage monster would be capable of this. 

Before he could even process everything, an enormous amount of best feram brushed across his body. The aura even reached the ground and the weaker people quickly collapsed on the floor. They couldn't handle the enormous energy that was like a tsunami that could wipe everything out on the surface. 

Souta tightly clenched his fist and said, "Just like I told you before, you aren't a match for me. You should have brought at least thirty Three Shackles." 

Ugh! The man gritted his teeth as he crossed his hands in front of him. 

The next moment, Souta's fist slammed into his hands like a boulder. He could hear his bones making a cracking sound before he was blown away. 

Bang!! 

Souta didn't follow his punch. He just stayed in midair, looking at the man with the same expression. 

"Now, do you want to answer my question or not? You should answer wisely if I were you."
