The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-399

"What is that thing...?!"

Franklin and Torkez were shocked to see Yuko destroyed all those ships in the sky. It was too powerful. The strength that she possessed was beyond their imagination. She even forced the Third Warden to use the secret technique of the parasitic essence eater. Only those people at general rank have mastered the parasitic essence eater at such level.

But what shocked them the most was the huge bear. The aura that she was releasing was no doubt a dragon energy. Her aura was overwhelming the Third Warden's aura. It was clear that even at this form, the Third Warden was still weaker than Yuko.

Not just them, the dragon was too shocked compared to the two. How could that bear use the dragon energy? He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He thought that this energy was unique to dragons but what he was seeing shattered his belief.

He then heard Souta's voice.

"I already said it to you. Dragons only have a great starting point in the path of monster evolution. You haven't seen what's truly strong in the vast universe. That energy you called dragon energy is actually best feram. It's a product of monster orb that formed in the body of all monsters. Oh? Monster orb is what you called dragon heart."

The dragon couldn't help but glance at Souta and asked in disbelief, "Just what are you?"

"I already said it to you before. Just like you, I'm a monster. To be specific, a race called goblin." Souta said as he glanced at the dragon.

"That weak puny creature... You are a goblin...?" The dragon muttered in shock.

Souta didn't feel his words offensive. At the lowest level of evolution, a goblin was one of the weakest power among the other monsters. It was true.

"You couldn't believe it, right? You haven't seen a powerful goblin in your entire life. Even a slime could reach your level. Don't ever think that you're already at the top." Souta smirked as he explained to the dragon. He stood up and patted his clothes before he added, "They are coming..."

Boom! Boom!

Yuko and the Third Warden collided repeatedly. The Third Warden was powerful after he transformed. Unfortunately, he met the wrong opponent this time.

A man who only had the power of an A-rank wasn't enough to fight Yuko. He was overwhelmed. No matter what he did Yuko could always counter his moves.

"So this is what they are talking about... A bear who could use the dragon energy."

The Third Warden muttered while breathing heavily. He was trying to think of a way to survive this but the only thing thing that comes into his mind was reinforcement. He had to hold on before the Generals arrived here.

Yuko flashed in front of him and she swung her left arm.

Swoosh!

The Third Warden moved his body away but he still felt the power in that swing. It was terrific. If that landed on him, he was sure that he would take heavy injury. He couldn't let that happen.

He wasn't a shielder but a spearman. The only problem was that he lost his weapon in the first attack. He didn't know where he could find it.

Swoosh!

Yuko chased after him and swung her arm. She then opened her mouth and used the [Burning Shout II] trait skill of her.

Flames gushed out of her mouth and it entirely covered everything in front of the Third Warden. It was a super wide-range attack that enclosed everything except the back of the opponent.

"Damn!!"

The Third Warden cursed as he didn't have a choice but to receive this attack.

The flames swallowed his body and it burned the flesh of his armor. Some part of his armor turned into ashes leaving his bare skin.

Boom!

"Argh!"

The Third Warden roared as he felt intense heat. After a while, the flame dissipated and he was about to look around when Yuko appeared in front of him.

Bang!

Yuko smashed him on the ground causing several large cracks to form on it. She then stepped on his chest and opened her mouth.

"Ack! D-Damn...!!" The Third Warden gritted his teeth as he looked at the energy forming in Yuko's mouth.

Ohm!

Red energy spun around as it expanded before it shrunk down to a palm-size ball. Then, it shoots down towards the Third Warden.

[Bestrou]!!

A loud explosion occurred that shook the entire prison. It wiped out everything around it. The walls of the prison collapsed as it turned into dust. The people near the walls died and the buildings that were close to it were destroyed too.

The wind blew strongly and it blew the smoke and dust.

It revealed Yuko who was top of the dead warden of the Prison World.

Everybody couldn't recognize the Third Warden anymore.

It was grotesque.

Yuko lifted her head and roared loudly at the sky. She was asserting dominance over all the people here.

ROARRRRR!!!

...

Isabella and Lydia went to the nearest prison in their location. While they were hiding, the two saw dozens of ships leave the place.

"They are leaving..." Isabella muttered in a low voice.

"Yeah, I think that Souta already started freeing the prisoners in another territory. Maybe that's the reason why the Seventh Warden is mobilizing a large army." Lydia said while looking at the ship in front of the thirteen ships in the sky. That ship was the main ship of the Seventh Warden.

It seems that her guess was right. If that's the case, then there's currently no opponent that could match her in the territory of the Seventh Warden except for the head guard of the Catastrophe rank prison.

But that's not a problem for her. Although the head guard had the same power level as her, the head guard still didn't have a parasitic essence eater in his body making him below her level.

Souta was the only freak that she knew that could fight a person with a parasitic essence eater and could kill that person.

"What are we going to do now, Lydia?" Isabella asked Lydia in a nervous tone.

"Of course, we would free the prisoners. Our plan didn't change at all, in fact, them leaving this place would only make it easy for us to execute our plan." Lydia said to Isabella.

"O-Oh... I see..." Isabella nodded her head.

"Good. We'll slowly go inside the prison after we make sure that the Seventh Warden isn't in his territory." Lydia said as she turned her head to look at the ships.

After a few moments, Isabella and Lydia slowly approached the territory of the Seventh Warden of the Prison World.

...

More than twenty ships were slowly approaching the Catastrophe rank prison in the territory of the Third Warden. The generals and the commanders of the Great Astley Empire were inside the front ship.

One of the subordinates looked at them and reported, "Sir, we've detected high energy fluctuations in the Catastrophe rank prison. Judging from the characteristics of the energy it seems that it's dragon energy."

General Asimon nodded his head with a gloomy expression.

"It seems to be the bear from last time." General Albert said as he glanced at General Asimon.

"Yeah, we also lost contact with Third Warden." General Asimon nodded his head and said.

They expected themselves to hear the news that the Third Warden was dead even though he was their ally. All of them knew how powerful that bear and in a one-on-one battle no one among them could fight it. They had to treat it like dragons. Those powerful creatures that could only be defeated by working together.

Right now, they've gathered all their forces including the forces of all wardens in this world. They need it as their opponent wasn't the bear alone but also those intruders including the prisoners of this Catastrophe rank prison.

"We've arrived, general." The subordinate said and the two generals looked down.

Just like what they've expected the Third Warden was already dead. Also, the prisoners were rampaging inside the prison. What gathered their attention was the bear outside the prison and the three people on top of the tallest building in the prison with a dragon behind them.

"We need to prepare ourselves. Those criminals aren't normal."

General Asimon said as he narrowed his eyes.

Souta smiled when he saw the incoming ships. He patted his clothes and focused his attention on the ships.

"What a large army...?!" Torkez widened his eyes when he saw the army of the Great Astley Empire.

"It feels like they are going to invade a world. They bring that enormous army just to kill you. It seems that they really wanted your head." Franklin smiled.

Souta ignored them as he looked at the chaos on the ground. He gathered his energy and shouted,

"Listen up everyone! The army of the Great Astley Empire is here! Do you want to stay in this world?! Of course not! I'm Souta Ieshi, the person who freed every prisoner in this place! If you don't want to stay here in this world then fight! Fight them and I'll lend you my strength!"

I'm going to conquer this Prison World.
