The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-662

Souta marked the position of the mages with blood. If he wanted to finish this as soon as possible, he had to borrow the strength of other powerful warriors around him.

Swoosh!

'It's great! This will end faster...' He said inwardly as he continued to run around the battlefield while marking the position of the mages.

The top warriors had begun to move as they eliminated the mages that were marked by Souta one by one. It was easy as the mages only had the power level of a One Shackle.

From time to time, Souta would glance at the battles above to know the current situation while arranging things here.

A total of thirty warriors were fighting the twenty-five experts of the Red Matter Association. Those warriors were all Grain Leaders and they possessed enough power to fight with the experts on the enemy's side.

Although the leader of the First Grain Wise and First Grain Virgin were absent. Some of the squads from these two Grains were present here. These powerful warriors were standing at the rear carefully observing the battle above.

They could join the battle but they didn't do so. Why? Because they were guards. They didn't even know if someone from the Red Matter Association was hiding in the dark. So their position was to prevent those experts from trying to sneak attack.

If they decided that there was no enemy around then they would join the battle above. Since Red Matter showed different traps in the last battle, they had to be careful.

Boom!!

'I don't know the next move of the Red Matter but this time will be different.'

Souta said inwardly. Banni had a plan too along with that warrior. They were just waiting for the next move of the Red Matter. These battles? They were just testing each other.

In no time, thousands of golems had been destroyed and most of the mages were killed.

It was going to end soon so...

Boom!!!

The ground shook heavily as an enormous amount of mana swept out. Everyone was shocked as they stared in a certain direction. The location of the three nations.

The energy shot through the sky as they could see a giant pillar of energy from the position. The three nations were far away and they couldn't even see it if they didn't fly above, yet the giant pillar of energy could be seen clearly. It was even larger than the mountains around the three nations.

"What's that?!"

"This amount of energy is insane!"

"Shit! What's going on?!"

The warriors were shocked and surprised at this event. They expected that the enemy had some sort of plan but this was outside their expectations.

'It started but...'

Souta narrowed his eyes.

He was wrong. The enemy's target wasn't them from the beginning. The three executives were here to buy time and let them feel worried about an ambush. So while they were busy, the enemy had prepared another plan.

The three nations were trembling. The amount of mana that made the pillar of energy was too high.

"I miscalculated..."

Souta said to himself. He thought that the enemy would attack them after they destroyed all the golems but now looking at the current situation, the three executives were probably baits.

He rubbed his chin as he looked at the battles above. He wondered if that warrior will show his identity or not. The chances were high since they wanted to eliminate their enemies as soon as possible.

"Attention, warriors!!"

Souta turned around and saw a woman with red striking hair. She was wearing full plate armor with a red cape on her back. She was one of the Squad Leaders in the First Grain War.

"Warriors!! Destroy all the golems and mages! We'll charge at the three nations to prevent the plan of the Red Matter!"

She said in a loud voice.

'What plan?' Souta wanted to ask.

It seems that the high-ranked warriors knew the goal of the Red Matter Association and that was the reason why they were trying to stop them at all costs.

He was just a low-ranked warrior so even if he asked, they will not probably tell him anything about it. For now, he should just follow the orders and raise his achievements to promote his squad faster.

Hmm? Souta turned his head and looked above.

Suddenly, the unknown warriors burst through the sky and arrived in front of the experts of the Red Matter Association.

"This is enough." The unknown warrior said as he exhibited a very powerful aura.

Boom!!

...

"Everything will start today!!"

A man was standing in front of the pillar of energy with widely opened arms. He was Avron, the founder of the Red Matter Association.

Behind him, there were thousands of people from the Red Matter Association.

The ground beneath his feet started to shake. Cracks spread out in the entire nation as the civilians started to panic.

"Master, are you sure about Larry, Fordine, and Carrie?" A woman behind Avron asked.

"That's why I've sent those three. They are enough to buy us some time to activate this." Avron answered her question. "The warriors of Athena are cautious but they didn't expect that our goal isn't to eliminate them. They are just a secondary goal."

"What if the Chief Captain is there?" The woman asked once again.

"It doesn't matter. Vandal is surely in this place. I know his personality. He will not run away by himself." Avron said as he waved his hand.

He went to the side before taking out a square-shaped object from his pocket. He raised the object above his head and it started to float towards the energy pillar.

After a few moments, the object disintegrated as the earthquake grew stronger. Huge metallic pillars surfaced from the ground, destroying countless buildings in the nation.

Boom!

"Just a little bit more..." Avron narrowed his eyes. He turned around and said, "Eliminate all the people that will try to stop us at all costs."

"Yes, sir!!" His subordinates answered at the same time.

He could sense that the soldiers of this nation were charging at them. Well, he didn't care about them since they had no power to stop him.

Also, he controlled half of the three nations. He will just simply send all those people to battle those guys that wanted to stop him.

The only problem was the warriors of Athena. He wondered just how long Larry, Fordine, and Carrie could last against the warriors of Athena with only twenty-three top experts of Red Matter.

He gritted his teeth and tightly clenched both of his fists. There's no way out. This was the only thing he could do with the current situation.

"I promised..."

...

"Rahahaha! So you're still here, Vandal?"

Larry laughed loudly as blood was dripping out of his mouth. He was on the ground with his body covered in wounds. It was gruesome as some of his bones pierced his muscles and skin.

Vandal, the Chief Captain of the Third Set, was floating in the sky while looking down at him with cold eyes.

"I'm a bait, no, we are all bait. We are prepared to die the moment we arrive here. Our goal is to confirm whether you are still here or not. Guess what we found? You are really here, Vandal."

Larry said with a mad look on his face. He was defeated along with the people that he brought with him but that's fine.

"Rahaha! Vandal! You're certainly stronger compared to the last time! But... If that is all you've got then you will not be able to defeat my master."

"Is that all you have to say?" Vandal asked in a cold tone.

"You will understand it after you meet my master..." Larry smiled widely. He stared at Vandal in the eyes.

Vandal ignored him as he turned to look in the direction of the three nations.

"I've shown my power just now. Avron is one step ahead of me."

It was very faint but he could sense Avron's energy in the energy pillar. He could feel it. This will be the final battle against the Red Matter Association. This battle will decide whether they will die or not.

"Warriors, charge!! I will take down Avron!"

Vandal shouted before he flew towards the three nations.

While they were busy here, countless innocent people were dying at the hands of the Red Matter. The governments of the three nations tried to fight back but the enemies were too powerful for them.

Aside from that, some of their people had betrayed them. The three nations were too pitiful right now.

Souta glanced at Vandal's figure. The moment Vandal appeared, Larry and the other two executives got defeated in just a minute. The battle was one-sided as the Chief Captain thrashed them around.

"Truly powerful... He just defeated three executives that brought fear to the warriors." He said before turning his attention to Larry.

This guy was strong. He would be able to dismantle three or four Grain Leaders if Vandal didn't appear.

"You should have realized it. Those people only forced us. You will gain their wrath. Are you prepared? The entirety of Athen's Champion will be affected by it. Rahahaha!"

Larry laughed.
