The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-366

"Even if we leave our belongings here, you will still kill us because you won't let the mercenary agency know about it, right?" Gyun said as he pointed his sword at him. "So I don't think we could let go of our weapons..."

"Gyun, Johnie, Mae, be careful!"

Limber, the mage of the group, said in a low voice. He silently gathered his mana and prepared himself some spell that he could cast once the battle starts.

"Tsk! It seems that all of you want to die painfully!!" The tall man said with an annoyed expression as he raised his hand. He then said, "Go! Kill them! Just leave the girls alive!!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The twenty plus mercenaries rushed the Gyun and Souta's group. They were going to use their number to defeat them.

Gyun and Johnie stepped forward and slashed their swords. They were going to fight their way in this group of mercenaries.

Mae didn't join them as she was the one who's going to protect their long-range fighter with Ginji.

Rini quickly shot several arrows nonstop trying to decrease Gyun and Johnie's burden while Limber was casting a spell to take out the enemy's archers.

Their formation and coordination were great. Souta was amazed at their skills and he could guess that they had a lot of experience in fighting this kind of battle. He was also sure that they were doing this for a long time for them to have a great coordination.

Hmm...?

Souta raised his eyebrows as he saw four enemies charging at him and Alice. He and Alice looked at each other.

After a while, Alice sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take them out."

"Good. Be careful, don't let them have it hard." Souta smiled as he said.

"I know," Alice said as she gathered her mana in her left hand.

The four enemies arrived one meter away from her. She then waved her hand and thick mana shot out of her hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Her mana smashed the body of the four enemies, blasting them away before they crashed on the trees.

"Argh!!"

The four enemies groaned in pain as blood poured out of their mouths. They felt several bones in their body got broken.

"I don't need to take my orange grade spear against these guys," Alice muttered to herself as she looked at the enemies with cold eyes.

The whole battle got silent as they slowly turned their head and looked at the back. They just saw four people flew out and crashed on the trees at high speed.

"Alice..."

Gyun and the others muttered as they looked at Alice with widely opened eyes.

The tall man subconsciously took a step back while looking at Alice. He didn't know why but he felt danger leaking out of her body. His instinct was telling him to run away as fast as possible.

"How... could this be? A K-Knight?!!"

He muttered in shock. Slowly he realized that he met the wrong opponent this time. He shut his mouth as Alice turned to look at him.

Alice then disappeared from his vision. The next thing he found was that his comrades were flying away as if someone hit them hard.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of bones cracking and screamed of the people echoed in the whole area.

After a while, Alice finished all the enemies except for the tall man that seemed to be the leader.

"No...! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to fight you!! Please, spare my life!"

The tall man begged for his life with tears and snot flowing on his face.

"I'm sure that you've killed dozens of people before so I'm going to ask something..." Alice said in a cold tone.

"W-What is it?" The tall man said while stuttering as he looked up at Alice's face.

"Did you spare any of your victims?" Alice asked. She didn't wait for the tall man to answer and said, "I'm sure that you didn't spare any of them so what can you expect."

"No!!! I don't want to die!!" The tall man screamed as he grabbed his weapon and rushed at Alice. He didn't have a choice but to fight as he understood that Alice wouldn't spare him.

Alice's hand blurred for a moment. It seems that she didn't move her hand but the tall man spat a mouthful of blood before he flew away and crashed on several trees.

Boom!

Gyun and the others were speechless. They were stunned and didn't know what to feel. This girl who was with Souta was powerful.

Alice wasn't just beautiful but also unbelievably strong.

Souta smiled as he knew that all the enemies were barely alive. He glanced at Gyun's party and said, "Let's go now, I think that the festival is going to start."

Gyun's party still hasn't regained their senses as they followed Souta and Alice. They were still shocked by what they saw.

Souta glanced back as he snapped his fingers and black tentacles rose from the ground. It silently killed all the people while Gyun's party was still digesting what they just saw.

After that, he took the souls of those people.

...

"Alice, you're a Knight...?" Mae asked Alice.

The group arrived at the surface and the festival was going to start soon. They also regained their senses but they still didn't dare to ask Alice about it. Only Mae build up her courage and asked her.

"Knight?" Souta raised his eyebrows when he heard Mae's question.

Alice too was confused at her question. She glanced at Souta and saw him shaking his head. It means that he didn't have an idea about it.

"What's a Knight?" She asked back.

Gyun, Mae, and the others looked at each other. They found it ridiculous that these two didn't know about it but considering what they told about them they could accept it. Souta told them that they lived in the Great Tunbra Forest for a long time so they were ignorant about a lot of things in this world.

"Knight is a person who could control their mana like yours. They could empower their body with their own energy." Limber slowly explained so that the two could understand it.

Souta nodded while rubbing his chin. So this world had its own power levels. 'It seems that I need to see the power of these Knights to know how strong it is.' He thought. He wouldn't get an accurate answer if he based it on Alice.

Alice was strong and he couldn't deny it. She was a powerful B-rank powerhouse so if a Knight level of this world was as strong as her then it could fight the two of them. But he was doubtful about it. Alice didn't even show her real power to Gyun's party so he could only guess that she was stronger than Knights.

Souta looked around and asked, "Is there a Knight level in this city?"

"Buckshawn State is a large city. A lot of strong people stayed here because of the living labyrinth so we could meet dozens of Knights here. It's impossible for a large mercenary guild to not have Knights in their ranks. They wouldn't be able to go to the lower floors of the labyrinth without Knights."

Gyun was the one who answered his question. He patiently explained all of this to Alice and Souta so that they could understand it.

"I see..." Souta nodded while rubbing his chin. So he will eventually meet those called Knight of this sub-world in this place.

He already guessed that there were some strong people here as they've gone through the thirty-fifth floor of the labyrinth. Without enough battle power, they wouldn't be able to explore that floor.

He can't wait to test the skills of those so called Knights.

...

In the Great World Imperium, the Giza Continent. All the upper echelons of the various countries around the land received an ominous message.

The large country at the edge of the continent called Listen Wastes was wiped out.

A large country was wiped out? They couldn't believe it at first but the one who sent the message was the god of that country. That god wasn't outstanding among the god but a god is still a god.

That god said that countless demons appeared above the whole country and launched an all-out attack against them. Two out of three gods of the country stayed back and decided to contain the demons.

The two gods created a barrier to hold all the demons for the meantime while the remaining god left the country to warned the entire continent about the demon invasion.

This message shook the heart of the leader of every country.

They couldn't believe it but a god wouldn't have a reason to lie to them. Demons from folklore finally appeared at the Land of Giza.

The three great countries already expected this to happen but they just didn't know when. Two different civilizations from the same world but were separated by a great barrier will collide.

A great war is about to happen...
