The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

"Shit! What's happening?!" Eztein cursed as he noticed the strange activity of the citizens.

"Keke, that's what you get from attacking me!! All of you will be branded as a murderer!!" Vaulin laughed.

"Shut up!!" Eztein roared as he punched Vaulin in the chest.

Bang!

Vaulin's body penetrated dozens of houses. He couldn't win against Eztein even with [Element Drive]. He was a classic mage and didn't have that much experience in terms of close combat.

Ugh!

He wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth while staring at Eztein with blood-red eyes.

"Keke..."

He laughed as he ignored the deep wounds around his body.

"Tsk! Crazy guy!" Eztein clicked his tongue before he dashed forward.

Swoosh!

When he arrived at Vaulin, his halberd was already deep inside Vaulin's chest. He was stunned as his opponent didn't even resist this time.

"You will regret it! You think you guys are great just because of your so-called Dragon Council!! Keke!!" Vaulin laughed as blood kept pouring out of his mouth.

"I'll keep you alive." Eztein gave his opponent one more glance before he pulled out his weapon. The wounds on his body were already gone so it looks like he didn't even experience a battle.

"Kill me! I already lose!" Vaulin screamed.

"No, we still have to ask you about Wingless Crow," Eztein said without a care.

"Huh? W-What...? H-How do you know about that name?!" Vaulin opened his eyes widely. He pointed his finger at Eztein and said, "Y-You! You will die!! A horrible death is waiting for you!!"

"Oh, it seems that you really have a connection with Wingless Crow." Eztein grinned as he faced Vaulin.

Boom!!

Suddenly, there was a series of deafening sounds of explosions throughout the entire city. A bunch of pillars of energy tore through the ground and shot upward into the sky.

Dozens of powerful auras swept out causing everyone to pause for a moment except for those mad citizens.

Eztein, Alice, Elder Guan, Edward, and the rest flinched as they felt the violent energy. They shifted their gazes as they felt the malevolent auras.

"What it is this time?" Eztein muttered as he turned his head to the side.

"Keke! They are here! You've said it yourself! They will kill everyone in this place! Fuck!" Vaulin almost turned mad.

"Shut up!" Eztein narrowed his eyes as he smashed the Vaulin's nape using the back of his hand.

Pak!!

A loud sound echoed as his mana swept through. No matter what, Vaulin was still a One Shackled Realm so he had to use his mana if he wanted to knock him out.

Hmm?

Eztein noticed dozens of citizens rushing at him madly. He narrowed his eyes and swiftly knock them down. He controlled his strength so he avoided killing them accidentally.

"I consumed a quarter of my mana fighting this guy. I could still fight but..."

Eztein's brows knitted together. A rare worried look flashed on his face. He could feel the auras coming from those pillars were stronger than Vaulin.

...

Alice furrowed her brows while staring at the pillars of energy that slowly disappeared. She could feel dozens of Shackled Realm auras around the city.

"This...? Are they from the Wingless Crow...?"

Since there was no evidence, she couldn't confirm if these new people were the targets of her mission.

"I need to confirm it... If they are really the Wingless Crow then we'll have to fight them at all cost until Souta arrive."

She landed on the ground and more than fifty citizens quickly pounced at her. She simply waved her hand and turned these pitiful people into ice sculptures.

'I could probably hold five of them. Eztein could handle three. As for Elder Guan and the Head of Shimpan Family...'

Alice pondered while observing her surrounding. She then glanced at the city walls.

"Right, we still have some support. There's no need to worry that much."

The S-rank experts of Astros were busy dealing with the other members of Star Pavilion and the smaller organizations of this city. If not, they could help in holding one of these guys that appeared.

The only problem was what if these guys didn't want to fight? What if they tried to leave? Alice didn't have enough strength to hold dozens of Shackled Realm in this land.

Souta would arrive in just a few minutes. She wouldn't have a problem buying some time.

...

"Jeje..."

A man wearing a pure white robe was revealed as the pillar of energy disappeared. He had an evil smile on his face as he looked at the people around him.

"To think that we will be forced to move... What a useless bunch of insects!"

The A-rank experts of the Astros flinched. They wanted to escape but some strange powers were preventing them to move.

"Time to kill these peasants!"

The white-robed man's body blurred and the next thing that happened was pure massacre. In just a few seconds, he killed all the experts of the Astros in the whole area.

The same thing happened in other parts of the city. The Astros suffered huge casualties in the blink of an eye and no one could prevent it.

At this moment, Eztein, Elder Guan, and Edward landed in different areas to fight these guys who were suspected to be a member of Wingless Crow.

...

"Shit! I just reach this level yet I'm already fighting a strong one."

Edward secretly complained. He just broke through the Shackled Realm the past few days and he barely familiarize himself with his powers.

His expression was currently bad. The white-robe man before him had a stronger aura than him. It's clear that this guy was already at Shackled Realm when Edward was still at Solidifying Realm.

"You're my opponent...? I can feel that you are not strong enough to be my opponent. Nevertheless, you will be a good warm-up for me." The white-robed man with long brown hair said. He brandished a pair of scimitars hanging on his waist.

"Go easy on me," Edward said before he charged forward. Layers of flesh instantly covered his body boosting his strength to a certain degree.

...

Elder Guan placed his hand in front of his mouth. Then, a small white pill formed in his palm, and he ate it. This pill was his soul weapon, [Power Steering Pill].

Feeling the power flowing through his body, Elder Guan glared at his opponent.

"Oh, you're energy!! It risen!" A woman with long green hair was a little bit shocked. She didn't know how but this guy's aura rose sharply.

"I'm your opponent!" Elder Guan's body inflated as layers of flesh enveloped him. He used the ability of the parasite to the best that he could.

...

"You're quite strong..." A man with short black hair said to Eztein. He could feel the fluctuations around Eztein's body which gives him a feeling of danger.

Eztein grinned as he raised his hand. "You're not enough! I want two more!"

The next moment, he threw the halberd in his hand to a certain distance quickly traversing the space before crashing to the ground which caused a huge explosion.

BOOM!!

"That place...?!" The short black hair man's pupils shrank as he stared in the direction where Eztein threw his weapon.

In that direction... where one of his comrades is.

Suddenly, a huge hand grabbed his face and smashed his body on the ground. He felt a stinging pain as various spikes were trying to pierce his skin.

"Shit!!"

...

Alice shifted her gaze. Based on the energy fluctuations, the battle had already started. She felt a slight ache in her heart. She didn't know how to explain the casualties to Souta.

She already overestimated the enemies but they still exceeded her expectation. Her calculation was off the mark and it made her feel bad.

The enemy had a strong lineup made up of dozens of Shackled Realm experts.

Then, there's one person that exceeded her imagination. Regardless, she could only rely on the support from their allies. After all, Third Head brought two One Shackle Realms with her and she herself was at Two Shackles Realm. She would be enough to stop the strongest person on the enemy side.

Hmm...?

She turned her head as she saw a bald old man walking in her direction. She narrowed her eyes in annoyance.

Ohm!

A red-grade spear appeared in her hands and it exuded a strong cold energy.

"You're from Wingless Crow, right?" She asked.

"Oh, I didn't know where you heard that name but you are right, young lady." The old man said. "I wanted to know where you find our information. Well, I would ask that after we've captured you."

"Tsk, I'm the one who's going to capture you!" Alice said in a low tone. Immense energy exploded out of her body as the area within a radius of two hundred meters instantly turned into ice.

Her aura made the people who were hiding in the dark show themselves.

"Come, I'll handle all of you at the same time!"
