The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Souta looked down at Madan who was gasping for air. It seems that the [Vajra Sword Saya] broke him down.

He noticed that veins were popping out of Madan and blood was flowing out of his eyes.

'You don't have a system like me that could use the equipment skill of weapon as soon as I wield it. You don't have any idea that you activate the [Possession] skill of the Vajra sword.' Souta thought while looking at Madan's pitiful appearance.

"I won't let you suffer anymore," Souta said in a cold tone as he slowly raised his sword.

"I don't want to die..." Madan muttered as he gripped something from his chest. It was a pendant that has a picture of his family.

He recalled the face of his wife, daughter, and his two-year-old son. He didn't think that this would become his last mission.

"Claire, Cyndi, Romi, I'm sor-"

He didn't even manage to finish his sentence as Souta swung his sword.

Putchi!

Madan's head flew in the mid-air and it splattered blood on the ground.

*Ding!*

[You've received 4,613 exp for defeating Elite Knight "Madan"!]

Souta sighed when he heard the system prompt in his head. When Madan said the name of his family members, Souta hesitated for a moment there.

"I just hope that you don't confront me in your next life," Souta muttered to himself.

He was going to take down everyone that blocked his path and there's no exception to it even if you have families or not. Souta wasn't an entirely evil person, even he still has humanity in his heart. Even if it's just a little amount of kindness, Souta treated a few selected individuals with affection. Well, that individuals can be counted in both hands.

'Yuko, Yuko... Yuko... Hmm... Who else? I think I will include class rep next to Yuko.' Souta thought as he looked at his hands.

He then shook his head and put those unnecessary thoughts in the back of his mind. He crouched down and grabbed the pendant on Madan's neck before he yanked it off.

"If I met your family then I will give then a special service of mine. If they're lacking money then I'll give it to them." Souta said to Madan's corpse before he turned around.

He recalled the quest that he received in the Desolate Woods. He still has to complete but he doesn't have any idea where he would start in this huge continent.

He saw that Yuko managed to defeat the two elite knights because of shock when they saw how Souta killed Madan. She received a few injuries on her body while she was fighting the two elite knights.

The remaining two elite knights were looking at Madan's headless body with widened eyes. They couldn't believe what happened before their very own eyes.

After a few moments, both of their mana burst out of their bodies as they recklessly charged towards Souta.

"Ahh!! I'll kill you!!" The screamed at the top of their lungs. They waved their swords at Souta aiming to slice his neck.

"Too predictable... You think that you would be able to kill me when you're just charging at me without any sort of plan." Souta said to the two elite knights while closely avoiding all of their attacks.

The two knights let their emotion overcome them and they recklessly waved their sword at him. They didn't have any proper form so how would they caught Souta in that situation.

Souta sighed when he saw them didn't listen to his words. The Vajra sword in his hand emitted a red light.

Ohm!

Souta moved his body forward while dodging the attacks of the two elite knights before he waved his sword.

[Crimson Moon]!

The heads of the two elite knights flew in the mid-air before it landed on the ground with a loud sound.

Normally, two elite knights would be hard to kill at his current level but they lost their composure, so Souta managed to kill them easily.

*Ding!*

[You've received 3,507 exp for defeating an Elite Knight!]

[You've received 3,289 exp for defeating an Elite Knight!]

Souta looked down and examined his body. He didn't receive any grave injuries, so he could fight another big battle.

Yuko approached Souta and lowered her head in front of him.

Souta looked at her and he lifted up his palm. He then placed it on her forehead and used [Light Heal] to close the cuts that she received.

He thought that he should try to get the spell that would let him heal himself. An advanced version of [Light Heal], if he wasn't wrong he remembered that the top 5 ranker Ailene Carnain used this spell.

"I will try to get it in the institute," Souta muttered then he shifted his attention and looked at the elite knights of the Asvares Family.

These knights back down when he said that Lumilia left the mansion on her own. They also simply watched him killed the elite knights of the Vidrato Family. He doesn't know if they have any plans but at this time, he heard a familiar sound in his mind.

*Ding!*

[Quest 2 Complete!]

[You've received 20,000 exp, 7 free attribute points, and 5 skill points!]

[You've level up!]

[Strength attributes have increased by 15!]

[Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality attributes have increased by 10!]

[You've received 2 free attribute points!]

[You've received 1 skill point!]

Souta nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he level up when he received the rewards from the quest. He finished this quest without receiving heavy injuries and he was glad at that.

Before when he triggered a quest with 5 skill points as a reward, it was a quest to snatch the Mystical Light Cherry. That quest was hard because of the monster that was guarding the cherry but it was killed by the Commandments. To think, that the appearance of a Commandments would raise the rewards of the quest.

If it was a quest to escape from the Commandments then the rewards would be more than 20 skill points. But it was a different matter if it was a quest to defeat the Commandments.

[Quest 3 unlocked!]

[Lumilia] Quest 3: Don't let the knights capture Lumilia. Protect her at all costs until you leave the city. Time Limit: 30 minutes, Rewards: 25,000 exp, 10 free attribute points, and 7 skill points.

[Note: If Lumilia didn't manage to leave the city within the time limit, you will fail the quest as the city guards will intervene.]

Souta carefully read the quest that he received this time.

'7 skill points?' He thought this quest would become the hardest quest that he triggered.

There's also a note and time limit so it means that either the Asvares Family or Vidrato Family will make a large scale move to stop Lumilia from leaving this city. Also, it means that Tidor and Tim finished their task in getting a carriage.

"I need to go to Lumilia as soon as possible..." Souta muttered as he looked up and saw the knights of the Asvares Family looking at him.

But he felt something wrong around him.

He heard Yuko growled beside him, so he looked around and saw dozens of knights arrived at the scene.

The group of knights consists of elite knights and ordinary knights. Their number exceeded fifty people. Thirty of it were just ordinary knights while the rest were elite knights.

"To think that man would send out this force," Souta said as he smiled wryly. He saw that the crest on the chest part of the armor was the crest of the Vidrato Family.

It seems that Gregory really hated him to send this much force.

"Get ready, Yuko. We're going to break through and go to class rep." Souta said as he took out a blue bottle from his pocket.

He removed the bottle cap and drank the mana potion to restore some of his mana, he then took out a red bottle. He also drunk it like the mana potion. This red potion was a health potion that could recover his health points.

"Ho~"

Souta exhaled as he felt a warm feeling inside his body. The cuts on his body were closing rapidly until he felt that all the small cuts on his body were gone.

"Okay, I'm ready to fight another battle."

Souta smirked and tightly gripped the Vajra sword in his hand. He observed the knights and his mana flared up.

The knights were looking at Souta and then they made a way as a middle-aged man with long blue hair stepped forward. He was exuding a fierce aura of a veteran fighter that experienced countless battles.

The knights of the Asvares Family bowed their heads when they saw the middle-aged man.

"My Lord!!" All of them said at the same time.

'My Lord...?' Souta thought then he realized who this man.

"Don't tell me..." He didn't think at all that this man would appear before him.
