The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

On the next day, Souta was in his room with monster orbs in both of his hands. He was guiding the energy inside the monster orbs to recover his best feram. This was the only thing he could do if he wanted to recover his energy faster and also he ate some of the mana fruits that could increase his regeneration.

He didn't eat some of the mana fruits as it has less effect on him. After all, he has already eaten those types of fruits before. The effect wasn't as good as the first time so he unwillingly stored it. He would simply give it to his people to boost their overall powers. Of course, he would take the fruits that he haven't eaten before.

Souta had finished transplanting the parasites to his people. All the people that received parasites immediately recover due to the regeneration ability of parasites. It means that he could immediately mobilize some of his forces. It was good since he wasn't in any condition to move.

Regarding the Witch Clan, Amanda had reported to him that she persuaded half of her clansmen. Elder Guan's side was willing to join him but Elder Hanmi's side was the opposite.

Elder Hanmi was a prideful man as he didn't want to submit to a man weaker than him, especially since that man wasn't part of their clan. Also, Souta was a monster and he subconsciously denied to join Souta's group. A witch submitted to a monster? This never happened in the history of their clan.

But what could they do, Amanda was already in Souta's hands. The parasite was already transplanted to her body a long time ago. The only reason why he didn't rush to kill Souta was because he was grateful that Souta helped solve their problem.

But solving their problem doesn't mean that Elder Hanmi had to become someone under Souta. He was grateful and he would help Souta in time of need to make it even but he wouldn't bow his head.

The only person that could lower his head was the Clan Leader. But the current Amanda only had the title of Clan Leader. She hasn't done enough achievement to become the pillar of the Witch Clan. Her strength was also too low to stand at the top of the entire clan.

Souta could only accept it. In the beginning, he already knew that persuading all the witches to join him was impossible even with Amanda's help. Amanda actually did a great job as she convinced Elder Guan to join. That's a legitimate shackled realm expert. A person that was way above Souta's strength.

Since all of them were going to follow Amanda, he still had a chance in the future. They won't say no after he became stronger than them.

"Let's start," Souta said. He was inside the control room along with Torkez and others.

As soon as he finished his words, he heard a system prompt in his mind. A quest has been triggered and it was connected to the Great Quest.

[Please choose one of the two choices!]

[Fight]: Stay on this planet and wait for the demon army to arrive. Fight and show the demons your prowess.

Reward: 20 skill points, 50 free attribute points, 10 million exp, and 3 random cards

[Escape]: Leave this planet to avoid confrontation with the demon army. You have one week before the demon army will reach this planet.

Reward: 3 skill points, 10 free attribute points, and 50,000 exp

Souta narrowed his eyes after he read the two choices. In the end, he chose the second one as he knew that fighting another big battle will be too much for him. Plus, his forces were still weak, and even with the help of the Witch Clan, they were going to suffer a brutal defeat.

It was still too early to directly confront the demon army. If he was on the battlefield with other forces then he would fight but here... There's no guarantee that all the forces here could stop the demon army.

He couldn't underestimate the demon army. Even if this was within the territory of the Council of High-World, the demon army would still advance. After all, in the game, the Lord of Flies brutally destroyed the Council.

Right now, the Council was still a huge enemy for him yet this Council was just a bigger ant in front of the demon army.

Sub-world wasn't a good place to confront the demons. If he wanted to fight the demons then he would need to fight them in Imperium. After all, in that place, different organizations were also fighting the demons.

He wouldn't be able to hide in the sub-world as there's no country or organization that was hindering the demons' movement outside of Imperium.

All he could do now was to wait for the right time.

"Start it,"

Souta said once again and Torkez followed his command. He pressed the button to activate the Transportational Gate.

Ohm!

The Guardian Fortress was enveloped by white light before it vanished on the surface of the world.

Based on the information of the quest, there's still one week before the demons arrived but he didn't need to wait for them. He would immediately leave this place so that they couldn't follow him.

Souta sat down comfortably in his seat as he breathe a sigh of relief. This travel will take them at least two weeks before they arrived on that planet. He still had a time to recover the injuries he took from fighting Rowan.

'I'm bored... All I could do is train but I'm not in a condition to train. It would only worsen my wounds.' He said inwardly as he closed his eyes. Various scenes from the game came into his mind as he tried to remember all the key parts of big events.

He tried to remember every important part. This will determine his action in the future.

Gluttony will attack the God's Continent in the near future. He will fall as Michael took the stage to fight him. Before Gluttony fall, the Titans will come out and it will catch the major faction off guard. After the fall of Gluttony, the action of demons intensified in every continent. Most of the top-rank Demon Pillars will appear.

He just knew this event from his memories but the details were unknown to him. He didn't even know why the demon slowed down in God's Continent but he guess that it has something to do with Gluttony. Gluttony must have some sort of agreement with the demons or else the demons will not stop advancing their troops.

So the best course of action to avoid demons was to go to God's Continent.

About the inside details of this event, Souta was sure that he will learn more of it this time. The Ten Commandments, Twelve Zodiacs, and the Seven Deadly Sins will fall one by one due to the intense battle with the top organizations in the entire Imperium.

Right now, there were no players to minimize the destruction of these organizations. Just like what happened to the demon army, most of the players at that time took the quest to hold back the demons. Although they couldn't stop the demon army, they still managed to hold them back and killed tens of thousands of demons in every theater.

Souta sighed and shook his head. Without players, the casualties this time will be larger than what it was in the game. He had to prepare himself for the worse.

He stood up and patted his clothes. He said, "I'm going back to my room. I'll leave everything here to you."

Alice, Torkez, and the rest nodded at him. They knew that Souta still haven't recovered from the battle.

Souta entered his room and he flicked his finger. His best feram flow out of his body and it caused him to twitch as pain assaulted his muscles. His muscle fibers and cells were vulnerable at this moment so if he let his best feram out of his monster orb it would somehow burden his muscles and cells.

Ohm!

The best feram created some sort of barrier around his room to isolate it from outside. He then went towards his desk and took out several books from the drawer. These books were all related to spell casting.

How to properly build the structure of advanced tier 1 spell.

How to identify the parts of magic circle and repair it.

He focused his attention on Archetypes for more than six months and that caused him to delay his study of the magic spells. Since he couldn't train his body, he will just focus his attention on spells right now.

"Saya, do you have some sort of knowledge about spells?" Souta asked curiously. For him, Saya was like an encyclopedia that he could ask any question.

'A little bit. I just know some low-tier spells. My focus is on the combat skills of the vajra race so don't expect me to teach you high-tier spells.' Saya answered him.

"Oh, I understand. Then, study spell with me. Maybe, you will learn faster than me and if that really happens you can just teach me." Souta said with a smile.

'I will still reject your proposal. And why would you need my help? You're a person who can imprint spells in his inner consciousness consecutively. All the inner spells in my inner consciousness are just spells I imprinted with the help of the top vajra people. I couldn't do it like you.' Saya said to him. 'I didn't even know how you learned all those spells when I'm just beside you all the time so why bother asking me.'

Souta couldn't say that he didn't personally imprint those spells in his inner consciousness. He just bought it in the skill tree and the system will automatically imprint it inside him.

The truth was he wasn't a genius like what Saya thought of him.
