The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-1006

Souta looked down as the webs destroyed the rushing golems. His released form radiated overwhelming power.

He raised his hand, and the entire area was suddenly dyed red.

"[Twilight Zone]!"

The [Orb of Arcane Seal] floated beside him as Souta drew the [Vajra Sword Saya] from its sheath.

"I'll take Eilish's brother with me. If anyone wants to stop me, they'll have to face me," Souta said to them.

Layla gritted her teeth and said, "Blood Lightning Monster, do you realize what you're doing? If you prevent us from clearing the game, the Walpurgis Night will fall. Countless people will die."

"So?" Souta tightened his grip on his sword before adding, "It's unfortunate that the

Walpurgis Night will fall, but if you ask me to choose, I'll pick Eilish's wish over all the people of Walpurgis Night. She means more to me than any of you, and nothing's gonna change that."

He slightly bent his knees and charged toward Eilan. Layla immediately reacted by activating several skills to enhance her strength. She then waved her hand, and a huge lightning pillar descended from above.

Bang!!

A crimson glow radiated from Souta's blade as he swung his sword at the pillar of lightning. The two elders also reacted, pulling out their soul weapons and rushing at him.

At the same time, more and more golems arrived in the area. Souta clashed with the two elders, and their attacks destroyed the golems around them.

Boom!!

Elder Lincy wielded a rapier as her soul weapon. She stood at the front, trying to attack Souta. Her attacks were swift and powerful, imbued with the elements of fire and wind, but Souta blocked them all.

She thrust her blade, but Souta swiftly moved to the side to avoid it. He then stepped forward and slashed his sword, but Elder Reana appeared beside him and blocked his attack with a small round shield.

At the next moment, five golems pounced on the three of them. Souta stepped back and sliced the golems apart, while Elder Lincy dashed forward, penetrating the golems' bodies with her rapier.

Souta watched them as he carefully analyzed their movements and skills.

The combination of the two elders was impressive. Elder Lincy had high attack power, while Elder Reana had great defenses. Their coordination was almost perfect. It was clear that this wasn't their first time working together. As for Layla, who stood at the back, she was supporting them with her spells.

Hmm?

Souta looked up and saw a sea of flames rushing at him from above. When he looked down, he found a huge tornado with high destructive power.

"Dream Power... This level of Dream Power is even greater than that possessed by those witches that I fight before."

Souta muttered as he created a field of blood and webs to block the two attacks.

The difference between [Dream Power II] and [Dream Power III] was significant. It was like the gap between a minor shackle and a great shackle. Among all the witches in the Walpurgis Night, only six had achieved it.

He had fought a sovereign in Vanko who possessed the same level of Dream Power. That sovereign had weaker physical and energy levels compared to the elders, so the difference was huge.

Boom!!

The webs and blood field decreased the impact of the attacks, so they only managed to bruise

him.

Souta looked down at Eilan. Eilan was possessed by an elemental being, and Souta finally understood why Eilish possessed such power. She had the bloodline of Umbra.

Some human races possessed certain capabilities that allowed them to host elemental beings, and Umbra was one of those races. They had an ability that could greatly enhance a darkness elemental being within their bodies. They were like spirits and contractors, with the key difference being that the host would die once separated from their elemental being.

"Umbra and an elemental being... I need to separate them. I have an idea, but I'm not one hundred percent sure it will work," Souta thought as he narrowed his eyes.

He moved to the side, slashing at the golems that kept rushing at him. Then, the spider limbs on his back pointed at the two elders and Layla.

Swoosh!!

[Bestrou] was instantly fired.

If he wanted to get to Eilan, he needed to get past the two elders and Layla. It would have been impossible without using his energy, but now, his chances were quite high.

Boom!!

Elder Reana blocked the [Bestrou] with her soul weapon. She stared at him grimly. "He's too strong... I've never seen a fourth stage monster with this much power," she said. She still couldn't believe that a fourth stage monster had this level of strength.

"We don't need to hold back," Elder Lincy said before dashing forward. A huge amount of elemental power was released from her body.

The whole area shook as they used their [Elemental Drive] and [Dream Power III]. Various phenomena occurred in the area as objects appeared out of thin air, carrying enormous power.

Swoosh!

Elder Lincy arrived in front of Souta and thrust her blade heavily. Souta reacted by swinging his sword at her blade. The collision of the two attacks caused intense friction in the air, sending ripples outward.

Souta was slightly pushed back. Looking at Elder Lincy, he took a deep breath before charging

at her.

[Serial Killing Steps]! [Hunting State]!

[Carpet of the Night]! [Darkness Sweep]!

[Traceless World]!

He activated the equipment skills of his dark-grade gear: the [Goblet of the Night], [Darkness Hourglass], and [Solid Hunter State Boots].

All the light in the area suddenly disappeared as shadows enveloped everything. Elder Lincy's movement speed decreased while Souta's speed increased due to the effect of the activated

skills.

Caught off guard, Elder Lincy was already slashed by Souta before she flew hundreds of meters away, crashing onto a group of golems.

Boom!!

Layla gritted her teeth. She knew that the Blood Lightning Monster was strong; their organization had been gathering intel about anyone with great potential to reach the levels of

the gods.

She raised her hands in the air, and several magic circles formed beneath her feet.

Souta turned in her direction as he sensed the energy fluctuations. He was about to charge at her when several strong golems pounced on him. Each of these golems possessed energy levels that could rival top-tier SSS-rank experts.

"She could even charm non-living things now..." Souta muttered to himself. He remembered the time when she visited Ekatoe City; she charmed all the living beings in the city except for

him.

He wasn't the only one who had grown stronger. Others were trying to keep up with this

changing world.

"If you think this is gonna stop me, then you're wrong!"

Souta opened his other hand, and a black hole appeared. He smashed the black hole into the

golems.

Ohm!!

Although these golems had the energy level of Sixth Shackle experts, they were nothing

compared to the Dark Gold Corps he had just fought.

Suddenly, Souta held his head with one hand as he felt something.

"Damn, she's even trying to charm me. Though she couldn't do it, the feeling it left behind is

still distracting me," he muttered.

The golems tried to resist the power of the black hole. Souta tightened his grip on his sword, preparing to end them with a powerful slash.

In the next moment, he felt a pain in his body as he realized that Elder Reana was already behind him. She smashed her shield into his body, sending him hundreds of meters away.

Boom!!

Souta crashed onto the group of golems. The weaker golems, with only a defense of SS-rank and below, immediately disintegrated under the force.

He stood up, tasting blood in his mouth. The artifacts floating around him vibrated strongly.

He realized that Layla was stronger than the two elders. Turning his head left and right, he sensed that the area had changed.

This place had almost nothing before, but now, there was a vast land with volcanoes, mountains, and oceans all over the place. They were all created by the dream power of the two

elders.

Souta closed his eyes, sensing that Elder Lincy had already risen and was rushing at him with

Elder Reana.

In the next second, he opened his eyes, and the whole world seemed to slow down. His senses reached a higher limit as he detected everything happening around him.

Before Elder Lincy and Elder Reana could react, their bodies were blown away. They were

caught off guard by the sudden increase in Souta's strength.

Boom!!

Their figures crashed hundreds of meters away, causing massive explosions in the land.

"W-What is this?!" Layla widened her eyes in shock.

She could only watch as the two elders disappeared, and Souta was already standing in their

previous position.

Souta stood motionless, looking at his hand. He radiated a strange energy that made the

whole area tremble.

"So that's how it is..." He muttered to himself. He slowly turned his head to Layla before

turning to Eilan.

The elemental being on Eilan's body was focusing on integrating itself into the Walpurgis

Night.

Souta understood that his plan was viable. He could execute it flawlessly.

Swoosh!!

His figure shot through the sky, causing cracks to spread through the air. Loud sounds

reverberated in the area, and his energy erupted like a tsunami. The space shattered, revealing the dense dream power above the Dream Palace.

Souta raised his hand and declared, "I, Souta leshi, hereby declare... The Walpurgis Night will

fall today."

His voice echoed throughout the region of the Dream Palace.
