The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-513

S-rank was really on a different level. It was at a level where they could easily take down a third evolution monster alone.

Souta was maintaining his health points at fifty percent. His attacks right now could pierce the protective field of an S-rank. And without it, he wouldn't be able to damage his opponents even if he was using his release form and Saya's power.

BAM!

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[Second Form: Reverse Moon Oak]!

Souta opened his other palm as a black lightning vortex materialized and it shoots the attacks of the A-rank experts that he absorbed before.

BAM! BAM!

[Crippling Slash]!

The woman went in front of the man and slashed her sword. Souta's attack was sliced into two before it exploded beside her.

"This is honestly good. It gives me a realization that I could fight a prepared S-rank with my current strength." Souta grinned widely as he slashed the sword in his hand.

Fighting an S-rank was still risky. If he was an ordinary third evolution monster then he would have died at the first minute before he could use his release form. Even then his release form would only give him the strength to defend himself so he had to depend on his parasites and equipment to be able to handle a legitimate S-rank.

The S-rank monster on the living labyrinth was nothing compared to these people.

His normal form was already as strong as an A-rank expert. It was really good compared to other third evolution monster who was only as strong as a B-rank in their normal form.

But then he's not fighting one S-rank but two S-rank experts. These two were frighteningly had high experience in combat. Their intuition and reflexes were above average.

They weren't an S-rank that stayed in their house until they reached their current power level. They obtained their power by experiencing countless battles in the past so they had rich fighting experience.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The woman appeared in front of him and the man appeared beside him. Both of them attacked at the same time.

Souta blocked the sword of the woman using the vajra sword while the four spider limbs on his back parried the weapon of the man.

Clang! Clang!

'I guess that my limit is two S-rank. It would be too much for me to fight three S-rank.' Souta said inwardly. At the very least, he hasn't reached the max level of third evolution so he could probably fight three or four S-rank experts after he reached the max level which was level 60.

And that's if his combat arts and spells didn't improve.

BOOM!

The floor collapsed and the three of them fell on the lower floors but their battle didn't stop. They kept exchanging blows in the mid-air.

BANG! BANG!

Souta opened his palm and countless web flew in all directions. It filled the whole area but the first form of his Archetype was still here. The black lightning in the sky was churning the surface for him and it even opened a path for him to leave.

"Webs?"

The woman frowned as she cut down all the webs around her. Every second she would change her position as black lightning would fall down from above like a rain. It has the capability to injure her an Annihilation Realm which has a protective field.

"This monster still in its released form...?"

The man said as he landed beside the woman. A few minutes had passed since they started the battle but the monster in front of them was still using the [Monster Orb Release].

"We should delay it. This monster wouldn't last long anyway and it seems that this monster is eager to finish the battle."

The woman said as she circulated her mana in her body.

Souta cracked his neck as he approached the two. His shadow on the floor squirmed as seven humanoid figures emerged from it.

[Doppelganger]!

The amount of best feram that he had was something that they wouldn't imagine that came from a third evolution stage monster. He was carefully absorbing the energy from a fifth evolution monster orb in the past so he abstains himself from wandering around the world.

He only came out personally because he had triggered a chain quest. If not for this chain quest, Souta would have stayed in his coffee shop to increase the energy capacity of his monster orb.

So...

The time limit of his released form was longer than when he fought the ancestor of the Great Astley Empire. It couldn't be compared at all, as his energy capacity had increased vastly thanks to the fifth evolution monster orb.

Boom!

The seven shadows launched themselves towards the two S-rank experts along with Souta.

The was the advantage of having many skills. The only problem was that it was had to control several skills at the same time while fighting that's why Souta was always training his control inside Saya's inner consciousness.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta and the seven shadows clashed with the two experts causing powerful shockwaves that affect the other battles that were happening in the auction house.

Amanda and Yenxa along with their opponents were the most affected as they were the closest ones in the area. Plus, Gragas was fighting another S-rank close to them so they could hardly concentrate on their battle afraid that the shockwaves from the other battles would kill them.

The seven shadows rushed towards the woman while Souta wrestled with the man.

"This monster can penetrate my protective field?!"

The man gritted his teeth as he slashed his sword horizontally.

Swoosh!

Souta shifted his body to avoid it and pulled a string of web. The web was connected to the boulders of rocks so when he pulled it the boulders flew towards the man.

Ohm!

Using the web as a medium, Souta imbued the boulders his energy and he fueled it with the power of gravity.

BAM! BAM!

The man slashed the boulders causing them to explode but when he turned his head to face Souta, he found several red energy blades in front of him.

[Cross Moon]!

The man was blown away and several cuts appeared on his body. He gritted his teeth as he couldn't believe that a mere third evolution monster could give him this much trouble.

'Just how long can he hold his released form?!'

He looked ahead only to see Souta rushing at him with a murderous aura.

BANG!

Souta grabbed the face of the man and several spikes burst on his palm. The spikes made from his parasites could hardly pierce the tough flesh of the man.

"So tough..."

He raised his sword and swung it down.

[Cross Moon]!!

BOOM!!

"Argh! Fucking monster!!"

The man gritted his teeth while looking at Souta through the gaps of Souta's finger. He couldn't remove his hand which was on his face. It felt like this monster was trying to crush his head but he knew that it was impossible.

This monster didn't have enough strength. Plus, his defensive ability was high.

[Cross Moon]!!

BOOM!

Souta threw the man on the walls before he pointed his sword in his direction. A huge amount of best feram formed on the tip. It spun widely as the black lightning in the sky struck down.

The black lightning merged with the energy making it more powerful. The first form of his Archetype was still active and it could give him a boost to his strength using the black lightning.

Souta was manipulating the black lightning to improve his attack power all the time. And it was one of the reasons why he could damage a powerhouse above his league.

[Bestrou]!

A large concentration of best feram erupted like a volcano that was trying to destroy everything.

BOOM!

A powerful explosion rose in the sky as it destroyed the entire place. Even the barrier around the auction house vibrated as cracks formed on its surface.

Souta was about to chase the man when he sensed something behind him. Layers of red flesh covered the four spider limbs on his back.

Clang! Clang!

The woman swung her sword and she managed to cut down two out of four spider limbs.

Souta narrowed his eyes and he moved his fingers. The scattered black balls went behind him and he focused the gravitational power in pushing the woman.

"Go away!!"

The woman glared at Souta and when she was about to launch a skill, Souta vanished like a bubble.

Swoosh!

"Where?"

She looked around only to find the seven shadows once again. Then, another explosion occurred and it was filled with best feram.

...

Souta just used the [Shadow Ball] to teleport and chase after the man. This man was his target, after all. And the ability [Watching Prey] was locked on this man. So he wanted to finish this man and switch the [Watching Prey] to the girl.

"You fucking monster!! Know your place!!"

The man shouted in anger as flames formed around his weapon. His entire body was filled with his own blood. He didn't escape the [Bestrou] before without suffering a heavy injury.

The [Bestrou] was too powerful that he almost died from it. If he didn't manage to activate several defensive combat arts then he wouldn't suffered heavily.

Souta didn't care about the man. He just charged at him with a wide grin on his face.

"The protective field is destroyed so..."

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!
