The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Eight Head was surprised when he heard Eilish's words. He turned to her and asked, "You know one of them?"

He noticed that talking to Eilish was useless. Her attention was on the man wearing a white cloak. Now he noticed some similarities between the two. Eilish and that man looked similar.

Even the man with a black hat was surprised. He glanced at his partner and asked, "Hey, Azure, do you know her?"

The man who was called Azure shook his head. "You know that it's my first time coming to this place so how could I know any of the people here? Just do your job, Ripper?"

"Ugh, fine..." The man who was called Ripper sighed before he turned his attention to Eilish and Eight Head. "I don't have any grudges against you guys but you have to stay here for a while."

"You! Are you with those Hall of Power guys?!" Eight Head asked.

"No, we're not with them," Ripper said.

"Then, why?" Eight Head asked.

"We have different goals. I know that the Hall of Power will massacre everyone in this land soon but we have a goal that we wanted to achieve so we let ourselves be enclosed with that crimson net in the sky." Ripper said while pointing his finger upward. Then, he dashed forward with unbelievable speed.

Swoosh!!

Tsk! Eight Head clicked his tongue in annoyance as he noticed that Eilish was still out of her mind. He stepped forward and clashed with the man who was called Ripper.

Boom!!

The shockwave of their collision blew Eilish who was close to them.

Eilish was thrown several meters away and rolled on the ground. She forced herself to stand up and stared at the man who was called Azure.

"I'm sure of it! You are Eilan! I can't be wrong!" She raised her voice as she stared at the face of the man. She continued, "Do you remember me?! I'm Eilish, your older sister!!"

"E-Eilish... M-My s-sister...? I... have a sister?" Azure widened his eyes and then he suddenly felt an intense headache. He fell to his knees and he screamed in pain.

"ARGHHH!!! No!! I'm Azure!!!"

He felt like his brain was about to explode. He couldn't do anything but held his head with both of his hands.

Ripper stopped in the air to look at Azure. "Hey, Azure! What's wrong with you?!"

Eight Head used this opportunity to land an attack while Ripper was distracted. He punched his opponent in the face before he kneed his stomach and punched him once again.

Bang!!

Ripper's body crashed on the ground causing the dust to shoot up in the air. He quickly stood up and looked at Eight Head while clearly irritated.

"You fucking..."

He was about to fight Eight Head when a huge energy erupted like a volcanic explosion.

Boom!!

Ripper, Eight Head, and Eilish looked at Azure who was screaming in pain. Azure was oozing overwhelming energy that made the space around them vibrate.

"ARGH!!!"

Azure roared as the energy he was emitting grew stronger and stronger.

"Azure, get ahold of yourself!!!" Ripper shouted. 'This is bad. He is getting out of control.' he said inwardly.

...

In the sub-world connected to the crimson net...

Souta was on the ground coughing a mouthful of blood. His body was full of injuries to the point that no one would recognize him anymore if not for his energy signature.

No God Emperor was standing several meters away from Souta. He was looking down at him with a faint smile on his face.

"I've killed all of your hopes... You thought that the experts of this world will be able to assist you in fighting me, right? They have great abilities but their power level is too low."

He said before he slightly turned his body and looked at the sky.

"This world is going to fall in just a few minutes. The crimson net is transferring some of its energy to the sun so it's going to emit a solar flare that will engulf everything in this star system."

Once that happens, all the living beings on this planet would die. They would become a sacrifice to No God Emperor.

All the experts of this world that tried to stop him have died. Souta couldn't even do anything about it. After all, everything that was happening right now was beyond his expectations.

Ugh!

Souta forced himself to stand up. He glared at No God Emperor and forcefully circulated his energy around his body.

Boom!!

He activated his [Duel Element Drive], [Blood Armor], and his [Monster Orb Release]. He stood no chance of winning against this kind of opponent.

No God Emperor raised his eyebrows with interest. He smiled and said, "You still want to fight? I'm gonna make you submit to me, I will let you witness how I return to the Imperium."

"Come try it," Souta said with determined eyes. This would be the last battle so he was going to use everything. He was exhausted even after using [Insta-Regen] to recover some of his energy.

If he loses then he loses. There's nothing he could do with it.

It is what it is.

He would fall along with the entire Astros.

"Good, I admire your courage to stand before me. I'll give you a chance to fight me. You even trained my technique so you are the one closest that could approach me." No God Emperor raised his hands with a smile.

He created all the [Divine Circulation] techniques for monsters. It was a technique to further enhance their elemental power and energy.

This was the reason why Souta felt that the technique was more compatible with him than the people in the Mince Hand. It was because he had best feram and they didn't have it.

Souta tightly gripped that sword in his hand. Beads of sweat were forming around his body and his breathing was getting heavier every second.

Suddenly, a figure crashed in front of them. The ground vibrated as a shadow stood up within the smoke. It was a huge creature holding a huge club in its hand.

Souta and No God Emperor glanced at this newly arrived creature.

"Kehehe~ this is quite interesting!"

A five-meter-tall creature walked out of the smoke. It has a pair of red horns on its head, two pairs of crimson-colored eyes, rows of razor-sharp teeth, and pointed ears.

It has long black hair and its body was covered in a savage-looking pitch-black exoskeleton. Red veins could be seen through the gaps within the exoskeleton. Its long tail was thick and full of spikes like a battering ram. It has a gem on its forehead and shoulders.

Souta was familiar with this creature. This was none other than the Uncontrollable, Gerxuzs.

"Let me join this event if you don't mind..."

Gerxuzs laughed as he stared at Souta and No God Emperor.

"Hmm...? Another strong monster and from the looks of it, you already tapped into the beastly instinct." No God Emperor said with interest as he observed Gerxuzs.

'Damn, why is he here?!' Souta said inwardly. He didn't even know the goal of this monster even after playing the game.

Gerxuzs just appeared in different events causing massive destruction before he vanished as if nothing happened.

"Let me join this fight!"

Gerxuzs roared and the whole area vibrated. His enormous amount of best feram gushed out like a tsunami. His battle intent soared through the sky letting everyone know that he, Gerxuzs, had arrived to fight.

ROARRR!!!

"This is a lively one..." No God Emperor was unfazed.

In the next moment, Gerxuzs used his [Dual Element Drive] and [Monster Orb Release] without hesitation. He quickly pounced at No God Emperor without fear in his eyes. All he had was pure savageness that wanted to destroy strong opponents.

No God Emperor stepped back before waving his hand. A huge pillar of rock burst through the ground but Gerxuzs smashed it without effort using the huge club in his hand.

Bang! Bang!

"Gerxuzs... I don't know why he is here but if he's going to fight No God Emperor then I'm going to join too." Souta said in a low voice. He dashed forward and joined the battle between two powerful creatures.

Boom!! Boom!!

Gerxuzs didn't hold back at all. He was sending flames and ice every second toward No God Emperor while Souta was also attacking using [Bestrou] every time he saw an opening. Despite that, No God Emperor fought the two of them with absolute power. He wasn't at a disadvantage at all even in two on one situation.

"Don't bother me!!" Gerxuzs said to Souta as he swung his club at his opponent.

"Stop talking! I'm going to fight who I want to fight!" Souta said as he ran beside Gerxuzs and swiftly slashed his sword.

"Any of you can't defeat me if you're going to be like that." No God Emperor laughed as he raised both of his hands and caught the attacks of the two monsters.
