The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-336

The structure of the Moon Tower has changed the moment the [Rising of the Earth Domain] was casted. The tower grew taller and some of the floors have changed into a labyrinth.

The floor grew larger as the gap between the ceiling and the ground was thirty meters. That's why a fifteen-tall golem could move freely on any floor.

Souta and the rest arrived on the sixth floor. The sixth floor was like a jungle as it was full of trees. They couldn't see anything aside from the trees around the floor.

"This..." Lumilia was quite surprised when saw this scene.

"Tsk! It's not easy to find the stair with these trees in the way." Souta clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Should we split up or not?" Alice asked while looking around. She then remembered something and turned to Lynn, "Can you sense if there's someone here aside from us?"

"I'll try..." Lynn replied as she closed her eyes. Her senses spread out and she didn't detect anyone aside from them. "I couldn't sense anyone..."

"If that's the case then we should split up to search for the stairs," Souta said while rubbing his chin. "But if you've found an enemy just raised your mana and we will go to your position as fast as possible."

The group split up and search the whole jungle to find the path to the upper floor.

Souta was deep in his thoughts. He was thinking about the executives of the Moon Tower. He was sure that the person inside the golem and the person that Yujin was fighting were both executives.

So there were only four executives left. His current team has him, Lynn, Lumilia, and Alice.

Four people.

One of them must fight two executives at the same time because he will be fighting the leader of the Moon Tower. If he wasn't wrong they called him Curdova.

Also, maybe he should fight two executives and leave Curdova to Alice since she was stronger than Lynn and Lumilia. Lynn was hard support and Lumilia was a hybrid of support and mage. Both of them weren't as good as Alice in combat so if someone was to fight the boss it should be Alice or him.

Also, he wouldn't let a support like Lynn fight someone whose class was for combat.

...

On the top floor...

Curdova was looking down at the state of the city. Behind him, a girl with long green hair was suspended in the mid-air. The girl was emitting an enormous amount of mana as her eyes were flashing brightly. Different magic circles were floating around her. This girl was none other than Cluster.

"Let's increase the output..." Curdova muttered as he turned around and looked at Cluster. "To think that my precious daughter became a powerful weapon... No, this one isn't my daughter. She's just using my daughter's body."

Cluster raised her tiny hand and a large magic circle formed above it.

At the same time, the tower once again shook heavily. The golems that were causing chaos in the city grew larger and stronger.

"I don't care about anything. As long as I can see the fall of the True God's Holy Kingdom, I will do anything." He muttered as he narrowed his eyes.

He recalled how the knights of the holy kingdom killed his family.

How they killed and raped his wife.

How they took his daughter away from him.

They even killed his mother and father. They killed everything that was connected to him. All of his family members were dead and the same for his wife.

He couldn't forget those scenes. It kept repeating to his head and he was always dreaming of it when he was sleeping. No, it was not a dream... It's a nightmare.

"Hahahaha..."

Curdova laughed loudly like a mad person. He raised both of his hands and his mana spiked up.

Boom!

"The ritual... The fusion is going to happen soon..."

On the magic circle on the ground, in front of the altar, sparks flew out as a gigantic metallic head slowly emerged from it. The metallic head was color dark blue and its eyes were lifeless.

"Unbinding the seal... With this, I will be able to control this great weapon..." Curdova said while looking at the floating Cluster above him.

An ancient armor that will let him control Cluster's power. After this ritual, he will wage war against the True God's Holy Kingdom.

The ultimate power.

Hmm...?

"Some people are invading the tower...? I'm leaving these people to my executives. I want to see if they can arrive here at the top of the tower."

...

It took five minutes for Souta and the rest to find the path to the upper floor. There's really no opponent on the sixth floor, unlike the fifth floor where there were two executives of the tower.

Souta, Lynn, Lumilia, and Alice went upstairs. They arrived on the seventh floor which looked like a desert. The whole area was full of sands and the temperature was high.

It really feels like they were on a real desert. No, in fact, if not for the walls and ceiling they would think that this was a real desert.

But this level of heat was nothing to them. A 50-degree celsius temperature was trivial to B-rank powerhouses.

The only problem was that there were two people at the center of the desert room.

Souta, Alice, Lynn, and Lumilia observed the two people that were looking at him. The people were oozing energy that was greater than normal B-rank. These two must be an executive of the Moon Tower.

'They are quite powerful...' Saya said.

'If I brought all the members of the Dark Oculus Legion then this Moon Tower would be easy... Unfortunately, we've suffered heavy casualties in the incident in the city. Bryan and Brando are out on this mission.' Souta said as he analyzed the strength of the Moon Tower. 'I want to fight and kill these people but the time...' He said to Saya while glancing at the ceiling. He was worried about Cluster.

"I'll go!" Alice said as she bent her knees and charged forward. She took out a metal pole and it transformed into a spear.

Swoosh!

She arrived in front of the two people and swung her spear sideways.

One of the executives jumped backward while the other one threw a punch at Alice.

Boom!

The fist of the executives and Alice's spear collided causing a small shockwave to swept out in the surrounding area.

The sands beneath their feet were blown away.

Lumilia took a deep breath and said, "Souta, can you leave these people to me?"

Souta was about to help Alice stopped when he heard Lumilia's words. He turned his head to her and asked, "Why?"

"You and Alice are the strongest among us so I think that your power will be needed to rescue Cluster," Lumilia explained to him.

"I understand your concern but are you sure that you can handle them?" Souta asked.

"I-I'll also stay here to help Mila!" Lynn said while stuttering.

Souta turned to her and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I will support Mila here," Lynn said seriously.

Souta sighed and smiled, "What am I doing? You're here to rescue Cluster, to help her so why am I preventing you to fight. Okay, I'll leave these to you."

"Leave them to us." Lumilia and Lynn said at the same time.

"Good." Souta launched himself to the battle and he quickly used [Crimson Moon].

Boom!

The two executives quickly jumped away as they avoided his attack.

"Alice, let's go. We'll leave these two to Lynn and Lumilia." Souta said to Alice.

"What? Are you sure that they can handle these enemies? From what I could see these two are strong." Alice was surprised at his words.

"Yeah, they are strong but Lumilia and Lynn are training hard in the past few weeks," Souta said to her.

"Well, if you say so." Alice glanced at the two and decided to follow Souta's decision.

One of the executives raised her arm and a magic circle formed above her palm.

Ohm!

Ten giant ice spears appeared and it immediately flew towards Souta and Alice.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lumilia gathered her mana and created a barrier to protect them from the ice spear.

Boom!

Souta ignored it as he knew that Lumilia and Lynn will handle it. He roamed around the area with Alice. They didn't care about the enemies at all.

After they find the path to the upper floor. Souta went next to Lumilia and said, "I have casted [Mud Slide] around the place. You can use it to your advantage. Also..."

He then casted [Agility Boost] and [Strength Boost] to Lumilia and Lynn.

"Okay, we'll go to the next floor."

...

In the northern part of the Sky High Mountain Peaks...

Two women wearing nun outfits were walking towards the mountain peaks.

One of the nuns was short but she had a giant axe on her back while the other one was simply equipped with a rapier.

Suddenly, they stopped walking as they sensed a wave of mana.

"This...?" The shorter nun muttered with a stunned expression.

"The magical fluctuations of the Thousand Spell Cluster...!" The taller nun said as she turned her head to the direction where she felt the fluctuations.
