The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-650

The warriors of the Fourth Set were looking at the transparent barrier that was covering the Aekr Republic.

One of the warriors stepped forward and tried to touch it. But something forced his hand away as electricity flowed through the air.

It was a barrier made to prevent them from entering the Aekr Republic.

"Go and check out what's happening on the surface."

The leader of the warriors from Fourth Set said.

The Red Matter Association's plot was something that they didn't expect so they had to prepare themselves. Since they couldn't provide backup to the warriors inside the Aekr Republic, they had to make sure that everything was fine outside.

Who knows if the Red Matter Association will attack the warriors on the surface?

"Also, if the warriors on the surface are fine then call the Sky Avenue and ask for more reinforcement. Ask them to call the warriors on the other side of the portal."

"Yes, sir!"

The leader of the group took a deep breath. He looked up at the barrier with a grave expression.

"For now, let's try to break this barrier. It's tough but I don't think that it can hold us for a long time."

He just hoped that nothing bad would happen inside the Aekr Republic. The main force of the Third Set of Pallas Division was inside so it should be fine. Even if there's danger inside, they could probably last for a long time since there's a lot of strong warriors in Third Set.

...

The western part of the Aekr Republic was devastated. The warriors of the Athena in this region had mostly died.

Souta was in this region and the whole place was strangely silent. Dead bodies of civilians and warriors were scattered across the land.

Boom!!

The ground shook heavily and a pillar of energy surged upward in a distance.

"What?! This level of energy... Someone is fighting a Grain Leader?"

And from the looks of it, it wasn't an ordinary Grain Leader. This energy fluctuation must be coming from the Third, Second, or First Grain Leader.

The power level of these three people was entirely above the rest of the Grain Leaders. They were just lower than the Chief Captain.

"If that's the case, then the high-level experts of the Red Matter Association must be here... The executives... A lot of our warriors' mana pools are sealed so they must be thinking that they could cut down our forces."

The north, south, and east region of the Aekr Republic had become a battlefield. The western region, where Souta was situated, became hunting of the Red Matter.

The warriors in this region didn't have any high-rank warriors so they couldn't fight back against the Red Matter. Although it became like that, the powerful members in this region had left already to support their people in destroying the Athen's Champion in other regions.

In their minds, the warriors in the western region were done.

That's the reason why Souta couldn't sense a lot of living creatures within the range of his [Crimson Perception].

'I don't think you should join the battle there... It's too dangerous...' Saya said in his mind.

'Yep, I don't think I could provide much support to them. If that's the case, I'll just clean up this region, no, I should find a way to counter the sealing runes.' Souta replied to her.

'It's a sealing rune... There's a way to counter it but I suggest that you should find the strongest people on your side.' Saya said to him.

'You mean... The Chief Captain Vandal?'

'That's right. He's the only person who can end this battle. Without him, you can't hope to defeat the leader of the Red Matter Association. His power is the key to winning this war.'

'Okay, I understand.'

Souta turned his head as he saw a group of people flying in the mid-air. They were members of the Red Matter. He could see that they were just at solidifying realm.

"I'll kill these people first..."

He raised his hand and ten black spheres formed behind him.

[Gravitational Ball]!!

"Go down!"

Boom!!

The three people were caught off guard. A powerful gravitational field suddenly landed on their bodies and pushed them to the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their figures crashed on the ground helplessly. They couldn't even fight back against the intense gravitational pull.

Souta quickly charged at them. He pulled out the vajra sword and gathered his energy on its blade.

[Crimson Moon]!!

Swoosh!!

A huge slash appeared on the chest of the three figures. Blood spurted out like a fountain as the three of them turned around to fight back.

But it was useless...

A huge beam was already in front of their faces. The beam swallowed the three of them before it exploded in a distance.

Boom!!

This will attract the other members of the Red Matter Association. And Souta didn't care about it at all.

"With my current power level, S-rank experts wouldn't stand a chance against me."

Souta said to himself. When he was still in the sub-world, he was having a hard time fighting an S-rank expert but now, he could kill them easily.

Swoosh!!

He turned around and when he saw the people flying in his direction, a smile formed on his face.

"Just like what I expected, they are still here."

Five people were flying and three of them were familiar. The three people were the three that he fought before.

Souta wouldn't forget their faces. He said that he would kill them so he will kill them no matter what.

Swoosh!!

Unfortunately, they brought other people with them. Aside from them, there was another group coming from the opposite direction. This group consisted of seven people. Three were at One Shackle Realm and the remaining four were at solidifying realm.

"So, a total of twelve people against me..."

Even though the enemy had a huge advantage in numbers, Souta was still calm. He knew that this battle will attract all the living creatures in the western region.

The Red Matter and Athen's Champion. He will attract both groups and a huge battle will occur. Even though they had disadvantages, the warriors will still fight until they die.

"Let's start this quickly..."

The ground beneath Souta's feet slowly turned dark and it quickly spread out, turning the entire ground into a pitch-black area. Then, ten shadows rose behind him as a black mist slowly spread in the air.

Wriggling black tentacles slowly emerged from the shadows and blood flowed in the air.

The whole atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"Not enough..."

The monster orb and [Nebula Heart] inside Souta's body quickly pumped out a huge amount of energy. They flowed through the [Star Veins] which increases his energy output.

Then, strings of flesh burst out of his body and enveloped his figure. His form had changed and a dangerous aura slowly seeped out of him.

Along with the usage of the queen parasite, he also activated the [Night Overlord's Aura], [Shadow Cloak], [Dark Menace], [Shadow Step], [Cat's Speed], [Triple Muscle Strengthening], [Agility Boost], and [Strength Boost].

All of this happened in just a few seconds while the twelve people from Red Matter were flying towards his position.

'I know that without the help of my [Element Drive] or release form, my chances of defeating these people are low...' Souta narrowed his eyes. 'That's why I have to use one of my aces...'

"Just like I thought, you've managed to escape..." The woman with a long sword said with a smile. "This time, we will put you down monster."

"Try it if you can!"

Souta replied as black and white tattoos came out of the bracelet on his wrist. The tattoos scattered around Souta as energy fluctuations swept out.

In the next moment, the tattoos started to merge together. One was pitch black while the other one was pure white. The two different tattoos turned into two different humanoid creatures.

[Yin Yang Twin Spirits]!!

One of the equipment skills of the universal artifact called [Yin Yang Bracelet].

An undoubtedly powerful skill that could turn the tide without him using [Element Drive] or [Monster Orb Release].

The twelve people suddenly stopped moving as they stared at the two creatures beside Souta warily. With their power levels, the black mist could barely block their visions.

"What the hell is that?!"

"Is that his skill?!"

"I don't know!!"

None of them had any idea what's the two creatures. They could only feel danger coming from them.

The twin spirits didn't have any specific power levels. Their abilities depend on the power of their user so the power of the twin spirits was definitely stronger now that Souta reached the fourth evolution stage.

The twin spirits were several times stronger than before.

"Go..."

Souta said one word and the twin spirits on his sides disappeared.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, they were in front of the two groups. Their strength exploded as they took their first attack.

Boom!!

It's only his second time using this skill ever since he acquired the [Yin Yang Bracelet].
