The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-476

One hour before Souta went to the 100th floor...

He decided that he would clear the 100th floor. The 99th floor already blocked his connection with Saya and he couldn't enter her inner consciousness.

He already recovered from his battle with the monsters on this floor so it was time that he head on the final floor. The battle on the 99th floor was hard that it made him use all of his free attribute points to further increase his power level.

He couldn't clear it with his current power so he used all of his free attribute points and he was successful. He almost died on this floor as the monsters were not just powerful but also intelligent too.

Next was the 100th floor. He didn't know what lies ahead but he was sure that it was harder than any floor in this entire labyrinth. If he cleared it he would have a chance to get the legacy of an unknown god.

Souta decided to wait for a while as he transferred some of his best feram in his parasite. He didn't have enough mana potion to fill it so he would fill it with his own energy. Also, it would boost his power if he use best feram instead of a mana potion.

After a while, Souta stepped inside the 100th floor and he quickly spread his webs. His energy flow through the webs to sense any object that made contact with it. Not just that, he also activated his [Shadow Cloak], [Night Overlord's Aura], [Triple Muscle Strengthening], [Cat's Speed], and [Dark Cloud Hunting].

Although his five senses were cut, it made him possible to sense anyone around him with his skill set. The black mist from [Dark Cloud Hunting] spread in the surrounding area and he sensed one figure one hundred meters away from him.

Since his [Energy Manipulation] skill had increased by several levels, he could detect his best feram flowing through the black mist that he emitted. And that figure made contact with the black mist and it was transmitted back to him.

'Just one opponent...?'

Souta was confused. He didn't think that the 100th floor only had one figure and judging from the surrounding, the whole place was just a plain desolate area without any object.

'Surely, this one is strong as hell...'

He thought as he tightly grip the vajra sword in his hand.

Suddenly, a huge amount of mana burst out from that figure. Several skills were activated at the same time as twenty black balls appeared around the figure. It's the [Shadow Ball] and [Gravitational Ball] spell. Also, seven shadows emerged from the ground. It's the [Doppelganger] spell.

'What?!'

Before Souta could regain his posture a powerful gravity bore down in his body.

'Fuck! What the hell is going on?!'

He instantly released his best feram and twenty black balls formed around him, the [Gravitational Ball] and the [Shadow Ball] spells. He offset the gravity power of his opponent using his own gravity power.

Boom!

Shockwaves spread out as Souta pulled a string of his web.

Swoosh!

Dozens of strings moved at the same time and it tried to bind the figure which was standing one hundred meters away from him. Before the strings could bind the figure the seven shadows move and started to cut the strings of his web.

'It could even cut my webs...!'

A web from a third evolution monster like Souta was tough and strong. Some humans and demis could use it to create an orange-grade armor yet those seven shadows simply cut his webs easily.

Do you think that you're the only one who knew [Doppelganger]?

Seven shadows rose behind Souta and it dashed forward with the intention to fight the other seven shadows.

Swoosh!

Souta bent his knees as he launched himself like a missile towards the figure while activating his [Armored Scale Formation]. Savage looking armor formed around his body and it exuded an ominous aura.

The figure raised its sword and swung it towards Souta.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta and his opponent clashed several times causing powerful shockwaves in the surrounding area. Their energy reached the peak as it collided strongly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just five minutes, Souta and his opponent exchanged thousands of blows at the same time. Their bodies kept blinking in other positions as they used their [Shadow Ball] spell.

Souta used his skill set to dominate his opponent but he found that his opponent had the same skill set as him.

'Don't tell me...?'

His guess was true. The one he was fighting right now was a copy of himself. The only difference was that his opponent was using mana while he was using best feram. Still, the amount of mana that his opponent have was enormous and it was enough to rival his best feram. It was also in solid form and it means that his opponent was an S-rank or above.

If it was an ordinary S-rank, Souta could easily dominate the battle but his opponent this time had the same skill and battle style as him. It felt like he was fighting another Souta.

'Damn! this is pretty exciting... Even my monster traits are being used by my opponent...'

The figure used [Armored Scale Formation] and thread to counter his attack. Then, it teleported fifty meters behind him using the [Shadow Ball] spell.

Swoosh!

Souta quickly turned around and charged a huge amount of best feram on the tip of his sword.

[Bestrou]!!

[Dark Shooting Ray]!!

Two enormous beams collided and a powerful explosion shook the whole area. The shockwaves from the explosion directly disintegrated the fourteen shadows that were fighting beside them.

Even the webs around were wiped out into nothing.

'This bastard is really testing me... Let's see if you can copy this skill!'

Souta grinned widely as his body inflated and savage black spike sprouted on his back. His body grew three meters tall as four spider limbs emerge on his back just below the spikes.

His mouth cracked opened revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. His four eyes gleamed in the darkness as his nails grew longer resembling sharp claws. Golden tattoos shone on his chest.

The best feram in the surrounding grew heavier and the power of his skills rose by several folds. Especially the five traits that he picked when he evolved. The [Draw Blood], [Armored Scale Formation], [Rapid Recovery], [Thread Forming], and [Black Orc's Solid Body]. These five were the most affected traits in this form.

[Monster Orb Release]!

This was his release state as Blood Goblin.

Another seven shadows formed beside the figure and these shadows quickly charged towards Souta.

Swoosh!

Souta grabbed one of the shadows before he opened his mouth widely and bit it into half. Then, the four spider limbs on his back moved as it pierced the other shadows.

In an instant, the seven doppelgangers were gone.

His body flashed as it closed the distance between him and his opponent. His opponent quickly gathered a large amount of mana on his sword while Souta used [Cross Moon] to attack.

Boom!

Smoke filled the area and Souta had a shocked expression on his face. His energy sense told him that the power level of his opponent rose to the limit and now it could rival his power in his release state.

'This bastard!!'

Souta gritted his teeth and he pushed his opponent forward while using [Possession]. Then, sounds of wailing echoed in the area as souls from the earring went inside Souta's body.

'Since you're the only one here, might as well used everything that I've got!'

Boom!!

The two wrestled in the mid-air as they crashed on the ground while using everything that they've got. Various skills clashed as the two continued to swing their swords.

Even in this form, Souta's opponent could still match him. Just like what he guessed, this labyrinth recorded everything about him and made an exact copy of him with the same skills and battle style.

His opponent also had a release form. Although his opponent didn't have any souls to power up, the labyrinth gave it another skill to boost its prowess to match Souta when he used his [Soul Blood Mode].

Swoosh!

Webs spread out in the entire area as it canceled the shadow balls around. It was to prevent any of them from teleporting. Then, the two gravity forces clashed in the middle of the two.

Souta and his opponent flashed as their body collided once again.

Boom!

But the result of this clash was different than before. Both of their swords were embedded in each other chests. Their [Draw Blood] traits further increase their strength when they suffered injuries.

Hmm...

Souta let go of his sword and his opponent did the exact thing. Then, the two of them threw a barrage of powerful punches.

[Transforming Shadow Barrage]!!

[Transforming Shadow Barrage]!!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of blows were thrown in just a few seconds and Souta changed his tactics. He grabbed the wrist of his opponent but spikes protruded as it pierced his palm.

'It could also control its flesh like this?! Just like my parasite!!'

Souta didn't care about it. Spikes formed on his palms and it pierced the wrists of his opponent. Then, he opened his mouth widely revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.
