The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-1055

Souta's strength surged once more. Darkness and light enveloped his body as he charged at the two Rogues.

Swoosh!

The Rogues flinched, surprised that Souta had discovered them. However, being experts, they quickly reacted, raising their daggers to try to intercept their target.

In the next moment, their bodies were thrown to the ground.

Souta laughed as he descended upon them like a meteor. The Rogues saw a streak of light heading their way, and they rolled to the side just as a massive body crashed down beside them.

Rumble!

The ground collapsed, and the shockwave pushed them away. But they didn't get far, realizing that their feet were bound by sticky webs.

Souta emerged from the smoke, locking eyes with the two Rogues. He pulled the webs tight, and his [Douion] flowed through the blade.

[Crimson Moon]!!

A strange energy blade shot from his sword, revealing a vast space within it.

The two Rogues were momentarily dazed but quickly snapped back to reality. They wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

"Shit! Dream power!!"

They could only curse as the energy blade approached.

Bang!!

They braced themselves for impact, but just then, a barrier materialized in front of them. The energy blade collided with the barrier, creating intense friction in the air.

Boom!

The announcer, Dezmo, raised his arm and exclaimed loudly, "Now this is a shocking development! They have already used their [Element Drive], forcing the Blood Lightning Monster into a corner, but they didn't expect this to happen!"

On the battlefield, Souta broke through the barrier, hurling the two Rogues away. Grain Leader Carmel watched the battle unfold and shook his head with a smile. "They shouldn't underestimate Grain Leader Souta. His strength is growing almost every day."

The other warriors were equally surprised, some of them still trying to grasp what was happening in the fight.

"Did you see that? Something's off with his elemental power."

"Hmm..."

Only the high-level experts understood the situation on the battlefield. They realized that the Formation Master was orchestrating something by placing Souta at the center of the battle, keeping him confined to that area.

"It's already forming..."

A tall man in full plate armor spoke in a low voice. He was a member of Hell's Paradise, the legion under Hades.

He glanced at Welfaz and muttered, "Welfaz is also preparing to fight at his full strength. By now, he must have realized that he can't take on the Blood Lightning Monster in a one-on- one battle."

A man with a giant axe sat down and crossed his arms over his chest. He was Genzu, the Berserk War Axe, and one of the warriors who had participated in the Selnes Country war.

"I'm glad I've caught up," Genzu said with a smile.

The tall man in full plate armor looked at Genzu and asked, "Berserk War Axe, you've been to war, right? What do you think of this battle?"

"Hmm, the Blood Lightning Monster is strong. In the war in Selnes Country, he fearlessly stood at the front, fighting against the experts from the Gluttony Army." Genzu smiled wryly and continued, "I hate to admit it, but Welfaz is strong-stronger than me. It's just that the Blood Lightning Monster is even stronger. His fighting style is quite unique, and he excels in almost every aspect of battle."

"So you mean..."

"Yeah, Welfaz is powerful and known as the Fighting Star. His skill in hand-to-hand combat is high, and some of his combat arts have reached a higher realm. He truly deserves the position of Hero-candidate, but then the Blood Lightning Monster appeared. There's a reason why Grain Leader Souta is known as the Blood Lightning Monster. That red lightning of his is unique and incredibly powerful. I've seen its destructive power firsthand in the Selnes Country."

"So it's real, huh? That's quite interesting."

Genzu glanced at the tall man before shaking his head. He knew this man was from Hell's Paradise.

From the spectators' point of view, the Blood Lightning Monster could only be defeated if Welfaz and the others worked together. They were enjoying the spectacle of a live monster subjugation.

After all, based on what Souta had shown just now, he was definitely above everyone else. He was holding his own while fighting against all of them at the same time.

...

On the battlefield, Souta frowned after destroying the barrier. He turned his head and glared at the Formation Master-the one who had created the barrier to protect the two Rogues.

He bent his knees and launched himself into the air, but Welfaz appeared before him.

"Get out of my way!"

Both of them unleashed their attacks, sending each other flying several hundred meters away.

At that moment, the humanoid puppets broke free from the webs. They landed on the ground and immediately rushed in Souta's direction.

Swoosh!!

Welfaz hovered in the air, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Souta, who was simultaneously destroying dozens of puppets.

"This guy is too strong. I know it, but..."

He couldn't help but feel bitter. Welfaz had always wanted to become a Hero ever since he was

a child. He came from a small village far from the Champion's Den, where the strongest

expert was only a C-rank, and that man had become his teacher.

He easily surpassed his mentor and embarked on his journey. By the time he arrived at the Champion's Den, Welfaz had already reached the level of B-rank.

He trained tirelessly until he finally managed to join the Athen's Champion.

He had been hailed as the Fighting Star.

"I want to win, so..." A smile formed on his face.

Welfaz walked slowly, starting to use all of his combat arts. His energy rose sharply, and he

quickly dashed into the air.

His body was like a meteor shooting toward Souta.

Swoosh!!

At the same time, the two Rogues and the Rune Knight charged at him.

Souta didn't back down; he stood firm against them all.

Boom!!

He swung his sword with precision and power. The two Rogues kept appearing behind him

while the Rune Knight fought him head-on.

Shockwaves reverberated as various elements clashed in the sky, creating a brilliant spectacle. The ground shook continuously as if it were the end of the world.

The two Supports narrowed their eyes as they cast buff spells on the four individuals going toe-to-toe with the infamous Blood Lightning Monster.

"Hahaha! Come!" Souta's laughter echoed across the battlefield.

He grabbed one of the two Rogues by the face and hurled him at the Rune Knight before firing

a crimson energy blade. The spider limbs on his back moved swiftly to block Welfaz's punch.

"It's not enough!"

Souta pressed forward as blood seeped from his pores, quickly enveloping his entire body.

The blood turned black as it transformed into armor.

[Blood Armor: Great Black Orc]!!

Welfaz widened his eyes in shock and felt intense pain in his stomach. His body turned into a

stream of light as he crashed to the ground.

Bang!!

Souta turned around and saw that the other three were already rushing at him.

He flew into the air, crashing his massive body into all three of them and pushing them to the ground before unleashing a wave of [Bestrou] using the spider limbs on his back. Souta's [Douion] surged as he swung down his weapon once again. Everyone felt as if they were being pulled into a dream, and before they could snap out of it, the Rune Knight and the two Rogues found themselves staring at a massive energy blade before them.

Boom!!

Smoke and dust engulfed the area as dozens of buildings disintegrated under the sheer force

of the explosion.

Swoosh!!

The Rune Knight and the two Rogues emerged from the smoke, their bodies covered in

injuries.

Souta opened his arms as thick white smoke emerged beneath his feet.

"Let's take it to another level!"

He stabbed the space in front of him and opened both of his arms. Thick tendrils came out of

the shattered space and filled the area.

"Dream is reality. Reality is a dream."

Welfaz and the others felt a chill, sensing the strange vibe in the air. They saw the ground

turning black and white, and a sun appeared on the horizon. Dark clouds gathered in the sky as thunder reverberated everywhere.

"This is my dreamscape. My voice is the rule, my body is the land, and my blood is the ocean

of this dream."

Souta said as he pointed his sword at the Rune Knight and the two Rogues.

Welfaz and the rest wore grim expressions as they felt the intense atmosphere in this place.

The pressure was so strong that they thought anyone below the Sixth Shackle would be

crushed in this realm.

There's some kind of dream power here that was trying to destroy any foreign beings or

objects.

...

"What a shocking twist is this?!!! The Blood Lightning Monster brought his dream to reality!!

Is this the legendary power of dreams?!"

The announcer, Dezmo, said enthusiastically. His body was brimming with energy as he

watched the battle unfold.

The spectators held their breath at the sight.

Some of the high-level warriors stood up from their seats with wide eyes, unable to believe

what they were witnessing.

"This power...?!"

This wasn't a simple manifestation of dream power. Only someone with high-level control

over dream abilities could achieve such a feat.
