The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-771

Souta and Alexander landed on the ground nonchalantly. Souta took a glance at Alexander's condition and asked, "You look worse, do you need help?"

"I'm fine, I can still do this," Alexander said.

"I shouldn't have asked you." Souta said calmly as he raised his hand and cast the very basic healing spell, [Light Heal]. He couldn't use it on himself. Plus, he doesn't need it since his parasite overpowered this spell.

"This is enough for first aid," Souta said as he used his light elemental power to enhance the effect of [Light Heal].

"You don't have to do that. I can manage it once we return to the castle." Alexander said.

"Fine." Souta shrugged his shoulders. It was at this time that he noticed that there were two people staring at them.

Souta smiled as he placed both of his hands in his pocket. He approached the two as he examined them.

Yaniesvyl and Dream flinched when they saw Souta walking at them. They subconsciously took a step backward. They were lying if they didn't say that they were afraid. It's natural since this man easily killed the mysterious man.

Souta smiled inwardly. This must be the place where Alexander met Yaniesvyl for the first time.

"Leave them alone, Souta." Alexander's voice sounded behind him.

Souta glanced at Alexander before he shrugged his shoulder. He turned around and walked away. The two of them flew into the sky and left.

Yaniesvyl and Dream breathed a sigh of relief after they were sure that the two were gone. Their legs collapsed and both of them fell to their knees.

"We're the only one left..." Dream muttered.

"Yeah, a lot of unexpected things happened in this place. I think we should find a way to leave this place." Yaniesvyl suggested.

"Yeah, if not for that blonde man, we would have died from that last attack," Dream said. "Those two are powerful experts. I didn't know that there are experts like them in Spring Land."

"I know but... The man before isn't a demi. He is a monster. From the energy waves, he is the one that destroyed the desert." Yaniesvyl muttered in a low voice. They barely avoided death this time.

...

Souta and Alexander landed in front of a castle. There were layers of barrier covering it, preventing anyone from entering inside. Even Hero-rank and fifth stage monster wouldn't be able to forcefully enter.

Alexander was proud of his previous creation but he didn't show it on his face.

"Let's go. Just walk beside me. The barriers will not obstruct us since I have the key with me. Just follow me and you will be fine." Alexander said.

Souta nodded in response without saying anything. He was recalling his exchange with that mysterious man. That man had some sort of power that boosted his attack in the last second. It even forced Souta to use his release form and his other artifacts to counter it.

He asked Saya about it and her answer was "Borrowed Power." So that man was really connected to the group besides the Wingless Crow. The people who used the Blood Sacrifice, a borrowed power from their lord.

So the king that man mentioned must be at least a god...

Souta already filed a report in Athen's Champion so some of the squads were on their way here to investigate this matter. No matter what, they shouldn't tell anyone that they came from Athen's Champion, or else those people wouldn't show themselves in this land anymore.

They were already cautious by hiding deeply in Hall Plains so once they sense a Holy Land investigating them, they would be forced to lay low for a while. That way, Souta wouldn't be able to complete his Chain Quest.

"We're here," Alexander said.

Souta snapped out of his thoughts. He realized that they were already inside the castle. They were on the underground floor where various runes were shimmering on the walls and ceiling.

"I'll start it." Alexander stood in front of the altar. He pressed both of his hands on his chest.

Souta simply stood on the side and watched everything. He would be able to finish this quest soon after Alexander took over the control of the Multiple Element Realm.

After half an hour, the ground shook heavily. No, the entire Multiple Element Realm was shaking. The monsters were awakened by the sudden quake. After all, the scale this time wasn't just a single region like desert or forest. The earthquake spans everything in this realm. So every monster living in this world was alerted.

Ohm!!

A large amount of energy burst out of the altar swallowing Alexander's body.

"Alexander!!"

Souta stood up from his seat. He didn't carelessly approach the energy field. He simply gathered his energy to prepare in case an accident occurred.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Just enter that energy field and you will find me." Alexander's voice echoed in the area.

At the same time, Souta heard a familiar notification in his mind. This caused a smile on his face.

*Ding!*

[Congratulations on completing the quest Ancient Ruin!]

[You've gained 10,000,000 experience points, 20 free attribute points, 8 skill points, and Five Element Rune Formation!]

Souta shrugged his shoulder and walked towards the white light.

The next moment, he found himself in a very large space. The ground felt like water, the sky seemed endless, and there was no boundary. The elemental particles here were high. It feels like he was in a special environment.

"Just what is this place?" Souta asked while looking around. He found a small house and walked towards it. Alexander walked out of the house.

"This is the core of the Multiple Element Realm, the origin of this world. This is my target from the beginning." Alexander explained.

"So you will be able to control anything in this realm?" Souta asked curiously.

"Not really. I've access to the control befitting my power level. Those beyond my current level, I have no control over it. After all, I'm just a mortal. I'm not a god." Alexander explained.

"I see..." Souta nodded. At this time, he observed Alexander and found that he already recovered his strength. No, it seems that he was stronger than before.

"This place is suitable for training. You can stay here for a while if you want." Alexander said.

"I can feel it. The elemental particles are high. It feels like I'm in a special environment." Souta smiled.

"Just inform me if you're going to leave. I still have something to do." Alexander said before he went back to the house.

Souta stared at Alexander's back until he disappeared. Then, he took a good look at his surrounding. This was a good place to reach the Sixth Stage of the [Divine Dark Circulation].

Just how did this place become possible?

'Just like what I said this realm is connected to the Imperium... Remember the tunnel before? It acted as a bridge so it's considered as a part of Imperium. Also, there are various high grade artifacts formation in the area that made it possible. Probably, dark grade or even higher. This is undoubtedly created by a powerful god that stood at the top.' Saya said seriously.

She was sure that even she wasn't capable of building something like this. It needed various mastery in all types of classes. Rune formation, barrier formation, and all types of elemental formations were built with perfection.

But all of it wasn't enough... It needed the support of various high-level artifacts and energy cores. Connecting to Imperium's space was hard to do. Probably, several gods' bodies were sacrificed to build the entire field.

'Just who is that Alexander and how did he know a lot of secrets about this place?' Saya turned her attention to the small house where Alexander resides.

"That guy..." Souta smiled and shook his head. He couldn't say that Alexander would become a top god-level powerhouse in the future.

As for now... His priority was to train his skills and abilities. To improve his power. Once he finished it, he would return to Mince Hand to finish his other quest to get the [Divine Light Circulation]. He needed that technique so that his light element would be able to catch up to his dark element.

Right now, his dark element was close to the limit of the Element Force. Sooner or later, he would be able to achieve Element Integration in his dark element. It would be a problem if his light element got stuck in Element Force. After all, he wouldn't be able to use [Dual Element Drive] if his elements had different levels. To use it, both elements should have the same stage. So if he wanted to use [Element Drive], he would only be able to use it on one element first. Dark and then switch to light after exhausting his elemental force.

Having more elemental affinity gives a person a huge advantage that is if that person managed to master all elements. If not, it would only become a burden.

Souta even wondered how the fuck Alexander trained his seven elements.

"Nevermind, I'll start my training."
