The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-353

"A third evolution monster..." The taller nun muttered as she looked around and added, "It seems that it's not a wild monster. So a tamer it is... Only talented people could tame a monster at that level."

"Well, let's check if Cluster is fine... She's the most important thing after all." The shorted nun said before she flew towards the Moon Tower.

The taller nun sighed before she followed the smaller nun.

"She's our priority after all. That child wanders around a few places letting us chased after her. Well, I'm sure she learned her lesson not to go out of the kingdom."

Curdova saw that his humanoid golems were getting destroyed one by one. He saw how these people cooperated so well while defeating his golems.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just a minute, all seven humanoid golems were destroyed leaving him alone fighting this group of people.

If all of them were here then it means that they've defeated his executives. His powerful and trusted executives were gone. Even the most powerful executive, Lim, was also defeated.

He was close to his dream to destroy the holy kingdom but this group of unknown people was trying to prevent him...

How could this happen to him?

He just wanted a revenge on those people who destroyed his life.

"Tell me!! Where did I go wrong?!" Curdova roared in anger as he rushed forward while gathering a large amount of his mana in his halberd.

"You will not find the vengeance you want in this world... This world is cruel for everyone..." Alice said as she appeared in front of Souta and blocked Curdova's attack.

Boom!

She was blown fifteen meters away as she couldn't handle the force of his attack.

"Cruel for everyone, you say? Then why those people that destroyed my life living a luxurious life in that place? Tell me why?!"

Curdova shouted and he thrust his halberd forward aiming at Souta's chest.

Clang!

Souta raised his sword and blocked his attack. Curdova continued to push his weapon against Souta and both of their figures flew towards the wall.

"There's nothing as easy life in this world! Everyone will experience challenges in their life more or less!"

Lumilia said as a serpent made of water appeared beside her. The serpent shot towards the Curdova trying to help Souta.

"I know that but... Why? Why did they have to destroy my life? They just didn't destroy my life... They also destroyed the life of countless innocent people..."

Curdova said as he kicked Souta on the stomach and slashed the water serpent causing it to explode.

Boom!

"I know that they did something wrong to you... But that's just how humans and demis in this world. There's no person that didn't do something wrong." Souta said as he wiped the blood on his mouth. He once again launched himself at Curdova as he felt Lynn's healing spell on his body.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two exchanged blows at high speed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Souta moved his body sideways as he avoided the halberd of his opponents. He then stepped forward and slashed his sword.

[Crimson Moon]!!

Curdova leaped in the mid-air to avoid the red slash but he noticed a sea of flames at his side.

"Damn! Everything... Is so fucked up!" He cursed as the flames engulfed his body.

Boom!

A powerful explosion occurred and Curdova's figure crashed on the wall. His body was full of burn marks after receiving Yuko's attack.

"Ugh!"

Blood flows out of his mouth. He recalled his life before he walked this path of no return.

At that time, he was the captain of the saint knights of the church. It means that he was the leader of the guards of the holy maiden of the church. He had great authority in the kingdom and a lot of people looked up to him but something changed his life.

His wife birth to his child and that child was something special. The treasure of the church, the Grimoire of Spell, wasn't rejecting the child's body. It means that his child could become a vessel of the treasure.

Although he was powerful, he couldn't disobey the order of the upper echelons of the church. The holy kingdom houses a lot of god-level powerhouses and a hero-rank was nothing to them.

They took his child. They experimented on her and the upper echelons weren't content about it. They even took his wife away from him. They tested countless experiments on her and after a few months, they took him.

They were trying to produce and created people like his child. His child and wife died from these experiments as their body couldn't handle it. While the side effect of the experiment on his body was that his power levels had decreased by several times making him go back to being an A-rank powerhouse.

It was horrible... The fruit of this experiment was Cluster. The girl has the same name as his child.

Curdova perfectly made a plan and he managed to escape. He found that the upper echelons told the public that he betrayed the church. He got consumed by his greed and tried to steal the church's treasure. Even the most trusted friends of his believe these lies. No one sided him so he went out of the kingdom silently watching their movements.

Souta looked at Curdova as he looked at his system. He saw that he finished his quest.

*Ding!*

[The quest "Finding" has been completed!]

[You've received 10,000 exp, 3 skill points, and 8 free attribute points!]

*Ding!*

[The quest "Boss Battle" has been completed!]

[You've received 10,000 exp, 3 skill points, 10 free attribute points, and a skill called "Dominator of City"!]

[Dominator of City]: This skill was created by a vicious person fifteen thousand years ago.

Effect: +5% to all attributes when fighting inside a city. +5% exp gained inside the city.

The rewards were quite good. Even though the skill points were few, it was still passable for him. The skill wasn't great but it provided him a boost of strength when fighting inside a city.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

"Hmm... So the previous Captain of the Saint Knights is reduced to this state?"

A voice sounded in the room.

Souta, Lumilia, Lynn, Brando, and Alice turned their heads in the direction where the voice came from. They saw two women wearing nun outfits. Above the walls of the tower, observing them from a distance.

Curdova looked over and rage filled his eyes when he saw the two nuns. "Puppet of the church...!!" He muttered under his deep breath.

Souta opened his eyes widely when he heard Curdova's words.

Church?

This guy was always talking about one thing. He instantly guessed what the church means or what church it is.

The Church of True God. The True God's Holy Kingdom.

So these two nuns were from the great country...

Hmm...?

Souta narrowed his eyes as he felt the taller girl familiar to him.

The shorter nun looked at their group and waved her hand, "Hello, thanks for your work..."

"What are they planning...?" Alice asked in a low voice while looking at the two warily.

"I don't know..." Lumilia shook her head.

"Don't worry, we will not do anything to you. We're just watching and observing the scene." The taller nun smiled and said. She then turned her head to Cluster and added, "Cluster's current condition is very delicate right now. We will report it to the higher-ups and we'll wait for their response before we take action."

"Also, the mana barrier is blocking our way inside so we can't go in. It will take a lot of time before we could break through this barrier that was made of Cluster's mana." The shorter nun explained as she placed her hands on her hips.

The taller nun noticed that Souta kept looking at him. "Is there something wrong?" She gently asked.

Hmm...? Souta remembered something just by looking at her appearance. He placed his hand in his pocket and took out a necklace.

The necklace had a pendant and inside the pendant, there's a picture. A picture of the man, a woman, and a girl.

"I've finally found you..." A smile formed on his face as he looked at the pendant.

"Oh? If I'm not wrong this is the first time that you've met me and from your reaction, it seems that you need something from me..." The taller nun said curiously.

"Yes... I'll tell you later after I've settled everything here." Souta nodded as he turned his attention to Curdova. After a long time, he finally found the girl in the picture. He didn't even think that the girl was a member of the church.

Curdova said the everyone that joined him got suppressed by the True God's Holy Kingdom. And a member of this group become a nun of the church?

"Church... Hehe... It's too late now... The ritual is complete..." Curdova suddenly laughed as blood kept flowing out of his mouth. "Everything... I don't have any more strength so this creature will rampage here without my control... This is the worse... I just wanted to live with my wife and child."
