The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-469

Lord Algard came out of the smoke. His figure was unscathed as if Bryan's attack didn't do anything to him. He was a person that reached SSS-rank and no matter how much power boost an A-rank had it will not affect him. The disparity in their strength was large.

At the very least, Bryan's most powerful attack could only damage SS-rank and that's it. It wasn't enough to kill a legitimate shackled realm expert. It would cost all of his energy just to create an attack to damage a person at this level.

"Shit... My body is on the verge of collapsing."

Bryan muttered while looking at Algard's figure. He could barely stand on his feet at this moment. The only reason why he could stand was the women behind him as he knew that these women would die if he collapsed.

Yanagi and shackled realm experts of the Bentley Family were on standby. They were observing each other and once they made a move the battle will begin once again.

"That little brat is at his limit... Well, he's only an A-rank after all and there's a limit to what he could do with that little amount of mana."

Yanagi muttered as she took a glance at Bryan's sorry figure. She couldn't help Bryan as she knew that the ten shackled realm experts in front of her would stop her at all cost.

Hmm??

Suddenly, she turned her head left and right before narrowing her brows. Because of the battle, she forgot the place where they were fighting.

"Ufufu... It seems that everyone will have a hard time surviving..."

She laughed lightly as she turned her head to Jeanne and the rest before she warned her.

Not only her who felt the danger in the atmosphere. The elites of the Bentley Family felt it too. Their instincts were screaming trying to warn them about the upcoming danger.

...

"You!!"

Lord Algard was furious and he was fuming with rage. His energy was leaking out of his body that it made the area around him boil.

"How did you know the way to break the barrier of the blood awakening ritual?!"

He asked in a strong tone. He knew that the barrier could even withstand the full power attack of a Hero-rank expert so there's no way that this puny A-rank could break it even if he had three elemental affinities. So the only reason why the barrier was shattered was that this brat attack the weak points.

Just a little bit of time and he would achieve his goal yet a puny A-rank stopped him from achieving it. He couldn't accept it.

"I just simply know about it..."

Bryan replied with a smirk on his face.

When Algard heard his words, his anger only grew stronger. What kind of answer is that? Even the other noble family in the Eternal Empire didn't even have an idea about this ritual yet this brat knew about it.

"You little shit!! I will kill you today along with your comrades!!"

Algard gritted his teeth in rage as his mana burst out of his body. He could kill Bryan easily but that would be a huge loss so he would kill the people behind Bryan first and make him realize his mistake in going against the Bentley Family.

He could see that Bryan had some powerful comrade. Yanagi was an expert at shackled realm but looking at her he could guess that he was still stronger. It wouldn't be a problem for him to kill her.

Suddenly, his energy in the air was offset as a powerful energy bore down in the whole area. His attention was on his enemy so he forgot his surrounding.

It was at this moment that he realized the graveness of their situation.

Bryan's attack turned everything within five kilometers into a desolate area so naturally, the overlord of this place will notice it. They were inside the Forest of Eternal Light which houses millions of monsters.

They were in the boundaries of the territory of two third evolution monsters. The territory of a third evolution monster was three kilometers in diameter and then above the third evolution was the fourth evolution monster. For each fourth evolution monster in this forest, they had six third evolution monsters under them.

In other words, they got in trouble by creating a large destruction in this place.

But that's not the case in this one...

Algard opened his eyes widely as the pressure of the best feram put everyone on their knees.

Boom!

Yanagi and the other shackled realm experts were forced to ground because of this intense energy. The suffocating atmosphere was hard to endure for people below B-rank and the women behind Bryan lost consciousness as they fell on the ground.

The only one who could endure this pressure was Algard, a person at SSS-rank. There was only one reason why he was the only one who could move. If B-rank and A-rank were experts that could handle third evolution monsters, S-rank and SS-rank were for fourth evolution monsters, then SSS-rank like him were for fifth evolution monsters.

It means that he was the only one among the people here that could withstand the pressure of the fifth evolution monster. But withstanding the pressure was different than defeating it.

That's why his face was turning pale. Even if his staff was a dark grade weapon, it wouldn't be enough to take down a fifth evolution monster with his strength alone. It would at least take a party of SSS-rank to subjugate a monster at this level and they had to prepare a bunch of high grade potions for the release state of the monster so that they could withstand it.

If the monster was at the peak of the fifth evolution then Hero-rank would be needed.

"Fuck, this is insane... Why would a fifth evolution monster appear here? It should be at least a four evolution first."

He was confident that if it was a fourth evolution then he could handle it.

Every second the pressure was increasing and it became harder for C-rank to breathe. They would collapse at any second.

Algard turned around and saw a huge figure several hundred meters away from him. There's no one obstructing his vision as the trees were gone so he could clearly see the appearance of the monster.

A creature walking on four limbs. Its body was twenty meters tall and black thick fur covered its neck. It has two pairs of eyes that have flames within it and has a pair of black bat wings on its back which were full of sharp and savage red color spikes. Dark green scales covered the two limbs on the back as gigantic claws that could tear anything were presented. It has five tails that were sharp as sword and green colored liquid was dripping on the tip of each tail.

A green gem was shining brightly on its forehead. It was the monster orb of this monster.

It was the fifth evolution monster, Great Berserk Kohima.

"T-The Great Berserk K-Kohima?!!"

Algard subconsciously took a step backwards. This monster was famous for its speed and poisonous attacks using its tail. To defeat this, they needed some potions to detoxify its poison attack and people who could use high-tier cure spells.

This monster couldn't be defeated by a party of ordinary SSS-rank experts. They needed extensive preparation for this monster.

He wanted to run away but he was sure that this monster wouldn't let him do it. In fact, this monster would target him first if he was the one to make a move.

The Great Berserk Kohima observed the people present in this place. Then, its two pairs of eyes stopped at Algard who was the strongest and the only one who could deal a damage to his body.

Its eyes quickly measured their power level and other than Algard all the people were insignificant in its eyes. No matter what they did, they wouldn't be able to scratch its body.

'Ugh, I can't move my body... An unbelievable monster appeared before us...' Bryan thought as he glanced at the savage looking monster.

The monster slowly opened its mouth and said, "Why are you disturbing my slumber? You humans and demi always caused trouble for us monsters..."

His thoughts were passed to every people using the monster language. It seems to carry a weight that made the C-rank experts puke on the ground.

Everyone knew that a monster at this level had intelligence similar to humans and demis and some of them surpassed them like dragons. Because of this humans and demis rarely met any monster at the fourth and fifth evolution stages.

"I'm just living quietly in this place but humans always came and bothered monsters like me. Why? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer then I'll kill you before those people arrive."

The Great Berserk Kohima said as he could sense that there was a group of powerful elves heading in this direction.
