The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1057: End of Battle



The Formation Master and the others felt goosebumps rise on their skin. They realized something terrible was about to happen.

"It's the end!" Souta declared, locking his energy onto his target. His universal-grade artifact emitted a blinding light.

[Three Ways of Ruination Land]!!

A massive, ominous magic circle appeared before them.

Casme and the other demigods couldn't help but rise to their feet at the sight of the magic circle.

"This is...?!"

They recognized the spell. It was familiar to them.

They couldn't help but glance at Cicero, who was sitting beside them. Numerous questions swirled in their minds.

Cicero smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders. "That brat has something with him..."

[Three Ways of Ruination Land] was one of the forbidden spells that Cicero could wield. Moreover, it was a forbidden spell he had personally developed, designed primarily for overwhelming attack power.

As soon as Souta cast the spell, he felt a significant chunk of his energy dissipate.

The entire land was engulfed in dazzling white light. There was no sound at all; everything was obliterated, and even the fabric of time and space on the battlefield distorted.

A massive gully formed, filled with dark spots-the aftermath of the spell. These dark spots contained a high concentration of energy that could cause decay across the field. On the ground, a greyish liquid pooled, and this strange substance could induce intense hallucinations.

This was the spell [Three Ways of Ruination Land].

Souta exhaled heavily as his form reverted to normal. He felt quite tired after using a forbidden spell. Even with his immense energy, he could probably use it only seven times before his reserves were depleted.

He still had other forbidden spells in his other artifact that he had previously used, but those were difficult to execute due to their costs. In fact, he preferred using them, but casting them would leave him vulnerable.

Souta landed on the ground.

His opponents had already been transported outside the battlefield, which meant one thing: he had won this match.

After a moment, the crowd erupted into loud cheers. They had been too stunned by the spectacle to react until now.

"WHOA!!!"

"Blood Lightning Monster!!"

"What a beast!!"

"He's too strong!"

"At this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if he defeated a Seventh Shackle Realm!"

The excitement of the crowd reached its peak as they chanted his name repeatedly. The announcer, Dezmo, declared the end of this rite.

The Blood Lightning Monster had defeated the Fighting Star Welfaz in a fierce battle and used a forbidden spell to overpower the rest of the warriors.

His opponents were experts at the Sixth Shackle Realm.

The announcer, Dezmo, stood at the side, looking at Souta. He announced, "This is truly the most ferocious monster that we've ever seen in this world. He's an exceptional monster with ridiculous strength. When I say ridiculous strength, I mean he is one hundred percent more powerful than any of the Fourth Stage monsters that have ever been born. He's truly the best, and no monster could ever reach this level."

Souta stood at the center, absorbing all the cheers of the crowd.

...

After the battle, Souta returned to the Athena's Champion headquarters in the city. He sat down in a room to recover his energy.

The result of the battle was excellent; he had managed to raise his [Douion] to a higher level. If he recovered to his peak, he estimated he could maintain his dreamscape for more than an hour.

This was a significant leap for him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Now, he could turn his attention back to his [Archetype]. He would seek ways to improve it to further enhance his strength.

After a while, Souta stood up as he sensed someone approaching the room.

In the next moment, a knock sounded on the door.

"What is it?" Souta asked.

The person on the other side was Elini, the Chief Captain of the Second Set Pallas Division. She informed him that he was being summoned by the Division Commander. Souta followed her.

"You've become the topic of the city."

"I can't help it. A lot of people witnessed the battle."

"You showed them something they've never seen before. Even the Division Commanders are impressed with your performance."

The two of them chatted as they walked. After a few minutes, they arrived at the Division Commander's office.

Now that Souta had finished the rite, all he needed to do next was earn some achievements. This shouldn't take long, unlike other Hero Candidates who spent years just to accumulate enough accomplishments.

After all, his achievements in Hall Plains and Selnes Country were significant. So, he would only need to do a little more, and he would have enough. Some people took several decades, but Souta only took a few months.

In the game, Souta hadn't been this fast. He fought on the battlefield back then, killing countless enemies from the Gluttony Army.

Cicero tapped 1 finger on the table as he glanced at Souta. After a while, he said, "About your request before..."

Souta's expression turned serious.

"Lady Echidna replied. She wants you to come there and receive it personally. As for the details, I don't even know them," Cicero said, shaking his head.

He didn't know what a Monster Lord wanted with Souta, but he was sure that the strongest fourth-stage monsters in history had caught the attention of several Monster Lords in Olympus. Even though Souta was only a fourth-stage, he still had the power to obliterate any Sixth Shackle expert. Honestly, this feat was unbelievable.

"I understand," Souta said. At the very least, Lady Echidna only wanted to meet him.

"Lady Echidna is a mysterious lord, even among all the Monster Lords in Olympus. There's little information about her, and only a few people have seen her before." Cicero paused before adding, "But don't worry too much; she won't kill you since you're the Hero Candidate

of Goddess Athena."

Souta nodded.

"So, what will you do? Are you going to meet Lady Echidna or go to the Land of Eternal

Spring?"

"I think I'll go meet Lady Echidna first."

"I see..."

After that, Cicero dismissed him. Souta returned to his room to relax for a little bit. He lay

down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Half an hour later, Souta stood up. That was enough for him.

Souta went out of the room, and a warrior approached him. The warrior handed him a letter

before leaving.

"What's this?"

Souta opened the letter and saw that it was just a map indicating the location of Lady Echidna's nest. He knew it from the game, but other people didn't have that information.

...

Ekatoe City.

Alice had returned to the city from her mission. Her energy spread as she sensed that Souta

and the others weren't here.

Where are they?

She wondered, having no idea where the others had gone. The only person Alice knew the whereabouts of was Souta, as he had told her before that he was heading to the Champion's

Den.

She found Torkez and asked him what had happened. Torkez filled her in on everything that

had occurred so far.

Legendary grade appeared?

This was to be expected, given that cities around Hall Plains had started fighting a few

months ago due to the emergence of rare grades. Now that the density of mana had increased

again, legendary grades shouldn't be limited here.

Alice had just returned, so she wouldn't be going out for a while. Instead, she intended to stabilize her power, having recently reached the Fifth Shackle Realm.

Her strength was far greater than before.

Compared to others, she felt undeniably stronger.

The universal-grade artifact, [Rhongomiant], appeared in her hands.

"Souta was right. There's something here," Alice muttered to herself. It was a power greater

than she had imagined.

[Archetype]!

She finally understood why Souta hadn't told her about it before. It seemed that experts

below the Fifth Shackle wouldn't be able to remember anything related to this type of

technique.

The King of Knights had hidden a technique within his spear. He hadn't left anything aside

from it, nor did he leave any living labyrinth.

That was the information she had learned.

"If that's the case, then..."

Alice's mind couldn't help but wander to Isabella. Isabella had received a God's Legacy from a

Living Labyrinth, so there was a possibility that one of the techniques she obtained was an

[Archetype].

She took a deep breath, and the golden spear vanished from her hand. She needed to finish settling the business with the assassin first. Delaying it would be unwise, as the assassin organization from Takamagahara was vast.

Ekatoe City would lose a significant amount of money just to pay for the assassin. Alice couldn't complain, given that the Leader of the Wingless Crow was strong, and the price

was reasonable. Luckily, it seemed they had obtained a lot of resources from the ancient ruin.

In her opinion, it should be doable.
