The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Souta charged forward with the warriors from the Tenth Grain War. The enemy had an advantage in numbers but in quality, the force of the Athen's Champion won.

The strongest golems here were the Gladiator Golems and their strength was equivalent to a Two Shackles expert. That's the same as the squad leaders that participated in this mission. Most of the squad leaders that joined this war were Two Shackles, just like Leilus.

It means that the number of Two Shackles Realm in Athen's Champion was higher than the number of Gladiator Golem. The enemy only had the advantage in the number of low-rank soldiers. After all, they had two thousand Earth Golems.

Souta saw Manduk in the front. He smirked as he jumped in mid-air before he swung his sword.

[Crimson Moon]!

Red energy blades shoot out from his sword. The energy blades destroyed three Earth Golems instantly.

Boom!!

Manduk turned his head and saw that it was Souta. He smiled and said, "Oh, good to see you here. Let's destroy these damn golems."

"Sure, let's get it done. It's good that you're here too." Souta said as he runs beside Manduk.

Returning that greeting mean that Souta was glad that Manduk was here in this battle. If he wasn't in this battle, then would have probably died in the Aekr Republic or got injured to the point that they couldn't fight anymore.

Boom! Boom!

The two fought side by side as they destroyed Earth Golems one after one. Their coordination was good as it almost seems that they'd been working together for a certain amount of time.

Boom! Boom!

They kept destroying golems after golems. They didn't even know that they were already deep into the enemy's formation. More than twenty golems surrounded them and three of them were Earth Might Golem.

They were on each other's backs while observing the golems around them.

"This is quite troublesome," Manduk said with a grin on his face.

"Don't worry, Grain Leader Banni knows that we are here. He will send warriors to help us." Souta said as he imbued his best feram on his sword.

"That's good," Manduk said as he glanced at him.

"Well, let's start this."

Both of them narrowed their eyes as they charged at the enemies around them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Manduk moved his body to the side as he avoided an attack from a golem. He clenched his fist as he covered his body with mana.

[Golden Physique]!

[Guardian's Hundred Body]!

[Internal Focus Steps]!

He used several combat arts to boost his stats before he delivered a powerful on the golem in front of him.

Bang!

The arm of the golem exploded from the impact of his punch. He was about to finish it when two golems pounced on him from behind.

[Instant Steps]!

His figure disappeared before the two golems and he reappeared behind them.

"You couldn't even follow my movement so it's a goodbye for you guys!"

Manduk said as flames burst from his right fist and lightning crackled around his left fist. He raised his right hand and opened his palm. Lightning and flames swirled about him.

[Roaring Flame Thunder Palm]!

When he pressed down his palm, lightning and flames surged and swallowed the two golems.

Boom!!

The two Earth Golems were obliterated by his powerful attack.

Swoosh!

Suddenly a golem appeared before him and quickly threw a punch. It was too fast but Manduk managed to cross his arms in front of him. He knew that he had no time to avoid it so he could only block the attack.

Bang!

He was thrown twenty meters away before he managed to stabilize his feet on the ground.

"Earth Might Golem...? This will make it more interesting."

Manduk stood up as he observed the golem. Behind the Earth Might Golem, there were five more Earth Golems.

He sneered before he charged forward leaving lightning and flame trails behind him.

Boom!!

Souta moved his body side to side while slashing the golems. He was demolishing these bunch of hard rocks one by one.

The arms, legs, and heads of the golems rolled in mid-air.

Every time he swung his sword, an energy blade would fly out instantly.

Boom!! Boom!!

Several explosions occurred as four Earth Golems exploded. The fragments of rocks in their body shot in every direction as Souta waved his left hand creating a barrier to protect him.

He turned around and two Earth Might Golems were rushing at him with unbelievable speed. These kinds of golems were equivalent to a One Shackle expert.

Yeah, it was equal in energy level and physical capabilities but there's a huge difference compared to One Shackle expert. They didn't have any skills at all while human and demi's experts could use various combat arts and spells against them.

That's why the golems couldn't take on someone on the same level.

It was different from Titanous Victor Golem which had various skills programmed to them.

He turned to Manduk and said, "I'm going to leave you here. Some warriors are close to us. You can cooperate with them."

"What?!" Manduk was surprised as his eyes opened widely.

Souta didn't say anymore as he pressed down his hand. Ten black spheres appeared behind him and heavy gravity bore down on the golems around him.

Boom!

He shoots into the sky and uses several skills.

[Dark Cloud Hunting]!

[Cat's Speed]!

[Triple Muscle Strengthening]!

[Agility Boost]!

[Strength Boost]!

[Shadow Steps]!

[Shadow Cloak]!

The golems wanted to chase after him but Souta burst through the mid-air.

'I finally understand it... The plan of the Chief Captain.'

Bang!

He landed on the ground causing the dust to shoot up in the air. He raised his sword and swung it down in front of him.

Swoosh!

A red energy blade flew out of his sword. Suddenly, three figures jumped out to avoid his attack and landed on the sides.

They were wearing dark green cloaks and armed with wooden staffs in their hands. They were looking at him with narrowed eyes as they didn't expect that he would find them.

"How?" One of them asked warily.

Souta beamed a huge smile and said, "A Tier 2 [ Greater Invisibility] Spell. Well, you guys had blood flowing in your veins so there's no way that I would miss you."

"Blood?" They were confused.

They wanted to find out the answer to how this monster managed to find their location and see through their invisibility. But they didn't have to do it as they could feel a dangerous aura leaking out of this monster's body.

"Not just that, I also know the location of the other thirteen mages hiding in this area. I can feel it. I can feel their blood."

Souta said as the ground slowly turned dark and black mist seeped out of his pores.

It's impossible for all these golems to appear out of nowhere. There must be people that cast spells to create them and judging from the numbers and powers, they must be nearby. That's why Souta went deep into the enemy's formation so that he could sense them once they entered the range of his [Crimson Perception].

As if they could remove all the blood in their body. Even if they only had a drop of blood, Souta would still be able to sense them.

"Attack!!" The three people raised their staff and it released a dim blueish light.

Ten golems charged at Souta.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

"Earth Golems are nothing to me..." Souta's voice echoed as several energy spheres appeared around him.

These swirling energy spheres were concentrated [Bestrou]. It didn't possess any destructive power that could level a mountain but it had high penetration power. It will simply pierce through the body of his target.

The spheres shoot rays of energy. It didn't produce any sounds. It was silent and the next thing that happened was that the Earth Golems' bodies were obliterated.

Souta didn't even look at the golems. He just focused his attention on the three mages in front of him.

"You!!" The three mages gritted their teeth as their mana flared up.

"Three One Shackle experts... Not bad." Souta mumbled before he charged forward while the swirling energy shot dozens of rays at the same time.

Boom!! Boom!!

Banni was in the back observing the entire battlefield.

The numbers of the golems were nothing in front of the powers of the warriors. Three Grain Leaders had joined the battle and they'd already destroyed hundreds of golems.

In his opinion, the warriors would demolish all the golems in the next thirty minutes. It's easy, the golems didn't even have a Three Shackle Realm in their ranks so how were they going to win?

"We have an advantage in this battle but we need to find the casters."

Shirley, who was standing beside him, said, "Warrior Souta is currently engaging three casters in a battle. Should we send someone to support him?"

"No, let him do what he wants. Send some warriors around him. I think the other casters are watching him so we should take this chance to eliminate them." Banni said.

A warrior wearing leather armor approached the two from behind.
