The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-398

"Is this your first time seeing another monster at your level aside from dragons?" Souta asked with a smile. He then shook his head and said, "Worry not, I'll free you."

After he said those words, Souta cut down the chains that were binding the dragon.

"What do you mean by that?" The dragon asked as he narrowed his eyes. He moved his four limbs and felt that his body grew lighter. Even though he was tired, the feeling of removing those chains was pleasant.

"Dragons from sub-world really think that the monster orb is unique to them? Really, an ignorant creature." Souta said as he shrugged his shoulder before he turned around.

"You..."

The dragon wanted to say something for calling a great one like him ignorant but then he shut his mouth. This man just freed him so he wouldn't cause trouble to him. He wasn't a petty dragon who would easily forget the person who saved him.

"I'm grateful for what you did but you shouldn't call him ignorant... Also, I want to know how you learned the dragon language." The dragon asked.

"See... That's what I call ignorant. Dragon language? That's what I'm talking about. What makes you think that this is a dragon language?" Souta turned his head to the dragon and asked.

"Simply because we're born with it." The dragon replied to him.

"So that's what you're talking about. You dragons have a great starting point. The moment you are born, you already reached the third stage monster. You know the monster language and had monster orb in your body but... Don't think that you're the only one who had those things. All monsters in the universe could have those as long as they reached the third evolution stage." Souta said to the dragon with a serious expression.

Dragons from sub-world really think highly of themselves. Well, they haven't experienced the cruel path of monsters in Imperium. Dragons in that world wouldn't survive without enough strength. Humans and demis were hunting them because of their blood, scales, meat, and other parts of their bodies. Also, for fame. If a lone dragon appeared near the city, various high-rank adventurers would try to hunt it.

They will experience how humans and demis hunt them even though they didn't do anything wrong.

That's just how they looked at monsters.

That's just how it is.

"What do you mean by that?" The dragon asked.

"You'll know it soon..." Souta smiled as he turned around.

Franklin and Torkez simply watched Souta talked with the dragon. They couldn't understand them but they knew that he was talking to the dragon.

Everyone knew that a dragon was an intelligent creature and some of the people could talk to the dragon but that's if the dragon were talking to them. No one has ever talked to a dragon using the dragon language.

...

The Third Warden arrived close to the Catastrophe rank prison that he ruled. He was on top of an airship looking down at the things that were happening on the ground.

He saw his subordinates were subduing the prisoners one by one. No, they were killing them. Capturing an enemy alive was harder than killing the enemy.

"They are just prisoners and they dared to escape. Kill every prisoner that escaped. Leave nothing alive and this will become an example to other prisoners."

The Third Warden said in a cold tone. He then focused his attention on the top of the main building of the prison. He saw three men and one dragon above it.

"Tsk! As I thought... Out of all prisons in the world. Those intruders choose my territory. Did he think that I'm easy to deal with?"

He felt uncomfortable as he didn't immediately went down to fight. He wasn't that a reckless person. According to the report, the intruders possessed great power that could rival the general rank of the Great Astley Empire. Also, they had a bear that could use dragon energy.

He knew his limitation. If the two generals couldn't capture them then he also wouldn't be able to capture these people. He had to work together with his allies.

"I need to wait for a while..."

He muttered as he continued observing.

...

"Oh? He's just watching us..."

Souta raised his eyebrows when he saw the Third Warden just watched them.

"He's wary..."

Torkez said as he glanced at Souta. He understood that the Third Warden pay attention to them but instead to Souta. Also, the warden knew that he, Franklin, and the dragon were poisoned so they couldn't use their strength.

"Just what did you do to make that warden so cautious?"

Franklin asked while looking at the ships in the sky. He and Torkez weren't naked anymore. They just took the clothes of the guards that Souta killed on his way to free the prisoners.

"Those people killed my brethren... I want to kill them all."

The dragon said with rage in his voice. He wanted to rush there and kill everyone to calm his anger.

Souta sighed and looked around, "Just how come those people going to find the antidote."

The antidote to the poison inside the three must be in this place. Also, even the recipe of the antidote was fine for him. He had Isabella with him and he was sure that Isabella could recreate the antidote as long as she had the recipe.

"I don't know... I'm itching to remove the poison that is locking my mana pool. I want to be able to use my mana once again."

Franklin said with an annoyed tone. He wanted to fight and started killing the guards. Fighting and killing were his enjoyment.

"I want to ask something..." Torkez said to Souta.

Souta raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Torkez. "What is it?" He asked.

"I just wanted to know what did you do for them to place you in this world? What crime did you commit and how did you escape from the prison?" Torkez asked as he looked at Souta with a serious expression.

Franklin also looked at Souta with interest in his eyes. Even the dragon glance at Souta. The dragon could understand their language so he knew what they were talking about. He had live for a long time so he learned to understand some of the humans and demis language.

"No, they didn't imprison me. They couldn't capture me at all so they had to use a transportational gate in the whole city to transport everyone in this world." Souta paused for a moment before he added, "They wanted to take me down so bad because I've killed more than a hundred thousand of their soldiers and a couple of their commanders."

"Oh? I know you're strong but I didn't think that your accomplishments are too amazing. So that's the reason why the Third Warden is only watching us from that ship." Franklin said as his smile grew wider.

"What are you planning to do next?" Torkez asked.

Souta didn't answer him. He stood up and patted his clothes. "I'm tired of waiting." He said as he looked at the ships in the sky.

"Yuko take down the ships and all the people inside it."

As soon as he said those words, a huge red beam burst out on the nearest mountain. Dense best feram spread out as the red beam flew towards the ships in the sky.

Boom!

All the ships in the sky exploded as the red beam landed on it. The explosion was huge and it filled the sky with smoke and flames. It instantly killed thousands of people that were inside the ships.

"Damn! What is it now?!"

Third Warden cursed as he flew out of the ships while covered in blood. His parasitic essence eater covered his whole body and a pair of wings spread out on his back.

Swoosh!

A huge figure appeared in front of him. He widened his eyes and flesh-like things sprouted from his skin. It turned into a huge shield as the huge figure swung its hand.

Bang!

His figure flew and crashed on the ground creating a huge explosion that shook the entire area.

Cough! Cough!

"Why is that bear? I didn't expect it at all." The Third Warden said as he looked up in the sky.

Ohm!

His armor changed its appearance as it covered his whole body. Its color turned into silver with purple veins all over it.

The Third Warden grew into a two-meter tall man with silver skin. He was muscular and purple veins were thumping across his body. His nails were sharp as it resembles claws of a predator and he had rows of razor sharp teeth.

"AHHHH!!!"

He roared loudly as his aura burst out of his body.

Boom!

[Maximun Flesh: Parasitic Fuse!]

Souta looked at this transformation with interest in his eyes. Really, this was what he was talking about. Isabella really used this parasitic essence eater in the game.

There's not even a hint of Third Warden's previous appearance. It was like he was looking at a different person. If he didn't saw the transportation, he would doubt that the Third Warden was inside that creature.

"Well, it's not that bad."
