The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-692

"Are you sure that we can fight them, Sir?" Remina asked as she was a little bit surprised at his decision. From her understanding of him, Torkez wouldn't act rashly as he was going to gather more information before he take action.

"Yeah, I think that we could handle them. The three leaders of the underground organizations are just bandits and they are at Solidifying Realm. It would be a different question if someone at Shackled Realm is living in this city." Torkez explained to her.

"I understand, Sir." Remina nodded at him. She slightly bowed and quickly left the room to call the others.

Torkez glanced at her until she disappeared. Then, he looked at the window. "We're not going to destroy the three of them. I doubt the other two organizations would help the Blood Gore Bandit. It will be a good example since we're going to rule this city."

If the others weren't convinced then they should leave this place or else if they got in the way of Souta's plan, Torkez wouldn't be able to guarantee if they were going to survive or not.

...

In the Blood Gore Bandits headquarters...

A tall man with short red hair smashed his fist into the table. He had a bulky body, his skin was tanned, and he had a huge scar across his face.

He was the leader of the Blood Gore Bandit, Carmin.

"Those guys from the City Hall did that?! They really killed my men!!"

Carmin said with a ferocious look on his face. He was emitting strong bloodlust that made the other people in the room silent.

"Who are those people?! The former City Lord escaped and passed the position to an unknown person, and now... A group of experts is occupying the city hall!"

He was frustrated. He didn't expect that the people in the city hall would boldly kill his subordinates in daylight. He turned his head and glanced at one of his men.

"Hey! What's the response of the Shimpan Family?!" He asked with a fierce look on his face.

"I don't know, boss. They are just observing the situation for now." The subordinate answered quickly, afraid that Carmin would kill him.

"Ha! Those fucking shits! Can someone go to the Virna Bandit and South Maim Gang?! I need to ask them something!!"

He said while gritting his teeth. He should cooperate with those two to control the city hall. According to his information, there were only eleven people inside that building. It would be easy to kill them if he work with the other two gangs.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook and they sensed several mana fluctuations.

"What's happening?!" Carmin asked angrily.

The door was slammed open and a thug hurriedly entered the room. He looked around and his eyes stop at his boss.

"Boss! A group of people is attacking our base!!" The thug explained. From his looks, it seems that he rushed here from that place where the mana fluctuations came from.

"What?!" Carmin opened his eyes widely. "Who is brave enough to attack the base of Blood Gore Bandits?"

"I don't know, sir! But they started killing our people!!" The man explained with a hint of fear in his tone.

"Tsk! Useless!" Carmin clicked his tongue before he stood up. He wore his equipment and picked up a spear. "Come with me, everyone! Let's see who's brave enough to attack us, the Blood Gore Bandit!"

...

"This group of bandits is surely a powerful group," Torkez commented as he chopped the head of a bandit with his hand. He looked at the headless corpse of the bandit.

Then, he looked around and saw that every bandit in this street was dead. Their corpses were scattered around and their blood dyed the ground in red.

"Hu~" He took a long sigh before he turned his head.

Most of the bandits here were just C-rank. They were just foddered so the ten people he brought easily killed them all. Nine of them were at B-rank and Remina was A-rank or Liquefying Realm. It was easy for them to finish a group of thirty people at C-rank even if he didn't make a move.

Remina approached him and said, "Sir, we've finished taking care of all the bandits in this area."

"Good job. It's time to find their leader." Torkez said. Then, he raised his eyebrows and turned around. "Nevermind, they are coming to us."

"Oh, do you mean?" Remina looked in the direction where he was looking.

"Yep, they are here." Torkez nodded with a faint smile on his face. He wouldn't need to waste his time trying to find the rest of the bandits.

Remina turned around and said to her subordinates. "Prepare for battle, the enemies are coming."

"The civilians in this street are gone but on the other streets... You should order three people to evacuate the civilians within a radius of five hundred meters." Torkez said to her. "There's an S-rank so this place would get destroyed from battle."

"Yes, sir." Remina nodded.

Three people quickly disappeared after receiving the order. A battle of an S-rank would pulverize this street without a doubt. Even though the increase in mana density strengthened the world, an S-rank could still show a power that could destroy a huge area of land.

After a few moments, a group of seventeen people arrived. There was one S-rank, two A-rank, six B-rank, and the rest were just C-rank.

"Oh, so you're the people from the city hall." The strongest one said with an amused expression. He glanced around and looked at the corpses of his men. "You didn't even hold back. You've killed all my men. Is that how people from the city hall should act?"

He was Carmin, the leader of the Blood Gore Bandit. One of the strongest people here in Ekatoe City.

Torkez ignored Carmin. Instead, he glanced at Remina and asked, "Can you handle the rest?"

"I'll try, sir," Remina answered. She wasn't sure if she could defeat two Liquefying Realm alone but she'll try her best to defeat them.

As for the B-rank and below, her subordinates were enough to handle them.

"Okay, just don't die. I'll finish this as soon as possible." Torkez said before he disappeared from his position.

Boom!

The ground cracked as he appeared in front of Carmin. He raised his hand and it quickly turned into a sharp blade. Then, he swung it down with all of his might.

"You!!" Carmin was a little bit surprised but he never panicked. He was an experienced fighter so he reacted quickly.

Raising the spear in his hand, he blocked Torkez's attack without any problem.

Boom!!

The bandits beside Carmin quickly jumped away as shockwave swept out. They didn't want to get caught in the battle between two S-rank experts. Their job was to finish the other people from City Hall.

Bang! Bang!

Remina and the others clashed with the bandits with all of their might. Several houses were demolished in the blink of an eye.

"Who are you?! Are you working for Governor?"

Carmin asked while gritting his teeth. He infused his mana in his spear and pushed his opponent away. Then, he quickly stepped forward and thrust his weapon.

"Who's that? I'm working for one person. And he's not the Governor of some shit." Torkez bent his body as the spear passed through two inches above his chest. He moved his hand and grabbed the spear before he stomped his left foot on the ground.

Bang!

The ground shook as huge cracks appeared. Torkez pulled the spear and delivered a blow to Carmin's stomach.

Bang!

"Ugh! You can turn your hands into blades?!" Carmin spat a mouthful of blood as he waved his weapon and flames burst out of his other hand.

"It's been a while since I've fought someone," Torkez said before he jumped away. His figure quickly disappeared and the flames missed him.

Swoosh!

The flames landed on the ground causing a series of explosions that destroyed dozens of houses instantly.

Boom! Boom!

Carmin said as he stared at Torkez who was standing on top of a house. "You're strong! Why don't you join us? If you join us then we'll conquer this city."

"Huh? Conquer this city?! Are you dreaming? Hahaha!" Torkez laughed when he heard Carmin's words. His energy flared up and the ground started to tremble. "Fine, I'll let you live and you will see for yourself how naive you are!"

"What are you trying to say?" Carmin narrowed his eyes.

"You're a high-stage S-rank so I couldn't afford to take it easy. So let me show you something..." Torkez grinned widely.

A huge eye appeared on the center of his leather armor. It opened widely and stared straight at Carmin. Then, his body transformed under Carmin's eyes. It was a full-body transformation of the parasitic essence eater.

Strings of flesh converged from the huge eyes and it enveloped his entire body. In the blink of an eye, he became a two and a half meter tall man with ten tails sticking out on his back. Each tail had sharp tips that could pierce any metal and his thick black skin had purple veins throbbing inside it.

"You don't have a chance against me... I'll chop your limbs and let you witness how my leader controlled this small city."
