The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-817

Boom!!

An immense amount of best feram erupted at the top of the Mountain of Demise. The space around it was shattered as fragmented space scattered everywhere at the peak of the mountain.

The entire mountain started to shake but it only took a few seconds before it stabilized. The vast amount of best feram scattered everywhere and it could be felt throughout the entire central region. The pressure it brought to the surroundings was unreal.

The members of the Hall of Power couldn't help but look up in admiration.

"Our Emperor!!"

"Hail Emperor!!"

It was the energy of their emperor, the No God Emperor. The one and only blessed being that goes against the world.

Isabella, Franklin, Eztein, and the rest of the Astros looked at the top gravely. It wasn't a good sign for them.

"Where's Alice...?" Isabella muttered worriedly.

She was worried about Alice even though her condition wasn't good. If the branches of trees didn't disappear a few minutes ago, she wouldn't know what would happen to her.

Boom!!

A loud explosion occurred near the top of the mountain.

Isabella looked up and saw several figures floating in the mid-air. Each one of them possessed an aura that was stronger than her.

"This is bad... All of them are Shackled Realm..."

She muttered to herself. She was just an S-rank and she would have a hard time if a fight broke out once again. Plus, she wasn't an expert in close combat. All she could do was sneak attack her opponents.

Isabella glanced at the other members of Astros. She found that they were exhausted too. There's no doubt that they would be annihilated.

The figures that were floating near the top of the mountain were all members of the Hall of Powers. They weren't ordinary members. They were Lord Dramus and the others that Souta fought back in the Heiro Kingdom's royal capital.

They slowly descended down and it made Isabella's heart skip a bit. She felt nervous as she didn't know how she could protect the Astros against these people. The other members of the Hall of Power went to the other side while one headed in her direction.

"I had to do this... There's no other choice." Isabella said to herself. She braced herself for the worse.

Suddenly, an extremely dense aura exploded behind the group.

Boom!!

Isabella hurriedly turned her head and saw dozens of members of Astros were blown away.

'Another enemy...? It's not good.'

Isabella turned pale.

A huge monster walked out from the dust. It was a humanoid monster with overwhelming energy flowing out of its huge body.

The monster didn't bother looking at other people. Instead, it focused its attention on the top of the mountain.

Thud!

Each time it took a step, the ground shook slightly. It walked forward as if there was nothing that could stop it.

Isabella stared at the monster as it walked past before her. She didn't even dare to move or make a sound as her instinct was telling her that she would die instantly the moment she got on the nerve of this monster.

The member of the Hall of Power stared at the monster coldly. He asked, "Are you one of our emperor's subordinates?"

The monster chuckled and said, "I'm not. I serve nothing but myself so get out of my way."

"You... Why are you trying to get in our way?" The member of the Hall of Power narrowed his eyes.

"It seems interesting that way." The monster laughed before it took a step forward. Its best feram spread out creating a circular field around it that expanded outwardly.

Boom!!

"You're too weak."

The monster said one last time before it charged toward the member of the Hall of Power.

The member of the Hall of Power was confident but it was shattered immediately. The monster in front of him was unbelievably powerful.

"N-No!!!"

...

Eztein and Franklin were freed from the branches after Alice destroyed the core in the underground basement. Although they were freed, they were still exhausted while Drayrin still had some energy left with him.

"It's a bit unexpected that Ragnis failed but it doesn't matter... His effort will be rewarded. Our emperor is back."

Drayrin laughed madly as he could feel the best feram on the top of the mountain. There's no doubt that his emperor had successfully took over the vessel. One more step and their emperor's real body would emerge from this land once again.

Eztein and Franklin looked exhausted. Their chances of winning this battle were less than fifty percent with their current condition.

Plus...

Eztein felt extremely bad as he detected several strong energy levels near the peak of the mountain. He was sure that old man Franklin could feel it too.

If those people came here then there's only one outcome. Their defeat.

"Old man, can you still fight?" Eztein asked.

"Ask yourself. I can still fight till the end." Franklin replied.

"Then, we should stake everything here." Eztein smiled.

"That's my plan from the beginning." Franklin grinned widely.

Both of them dashed forward.

Drayrin narrowed his eyes in annoyance. He could see that these two still had the will to fight. He got angry and quickly launched a beam at them.

Swoosh!

Eztein blocked the beam while Franklin went to the side and charged at Drayrin.

Drayrin clicked his tongue and threw a punch but Franklin anticipated it since he knew that their opponent wasn't taking them seriously. He stepped to the side as both of his hands turned into huge blades. Then, he swung it repeatedly at his opponent.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"You fucking shit!" Drayrin cursed as he blocked all of Franklin's attacks easily.

Then, he kneed Franklin on the stomach before he grabbed his face. He charged a ball of energy in his palm and smashed Franklin into the ground causing a huge explosion.

Boom!!

Eztein widened his eyes. The two of them were exhausted and they literally have one percent of winning against this opponent. But he had to fight even if he lost.

Before he could even react, Drayrin came out of the smoke and arrived in front of him. Drayrin charged a huge concentration of energy in his before he threw it at Eztein.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure appeared and swiftly dispersed the powerful attack. This figure was a woman wearing armor with a sword in her hand.

She glanced at Eztein and said, "You can take it easy. We're here."

Thud! Thud!

At the same time, several figures appeared around Eztein. All of them were wearing full-plate armor.

Eztein looked at them and breathed a sigh of relief. The warriors of Athen's Champion have finally arrived. He even wanted to complain but he couldn't do so because of his condition.

These warriors left Ekatoe City earlier than Astros yet Astros was the first one to arrive in the Mountain of Demise. Well, he was just glad that the reinforcement was here.

"Y-You!! Who are you?!" Drayrin shouted.

"I am Ibis, Sixth Grain War Leader of the Third Set of Pallas Division." The woman said in a strong tone as she faced Drayrin.

"A Grain Leader...?!" Drayrin subconsciously took a step back as he widened his eyes in shock.

On the other side...

Alexander had also arrived. He was alone and behind him were corpses of the members of the Hall of Power. They tried to stop him but he wasn't an ordinary expert. He dismantled a group of fifty people with ten One Shackle Realms and three Two Shackles Realms experts in just a few minutes.

Right now, he was staring at the figure that was descending from the mountain.

He shook his head and smiled, "Are you here to stop me?"

Alexander's voice traveled through the air faster than normal sound. It quickly arrived at the figure. This man was none other than Lord Dramus, one of the experts that Souta fought in Heiro Kingdom's royal capital.

"If you didn't come here for the ritual then I will leave you alone but if you come here to disturb it then I will be forced to kill you." Lord Dramus said.

"Would you believe me if I said that I came here to join you?" Alexander asked with a smile.

"No," Lord Dramus answered immediately. Then, he asked, "I'm curious about where you came from. I'm sure that we've already caused the downfall of all major powers in other regions so there are only a few groups that could oppose us."

"Me...? I'm on my own." Alexander answered calmly. "I'm enough so let's start this."

"Come," Lord Dramus raised his hands as his aura burst out like a tidal wave.

"Be careful, I'm going all out from the start. If you don't watch out then you're going to die before you know it."

As soon as Alexander said these words, a vast aura exploded within his body. The enormous amount of elemental energy broke out like a tsunami that wanted to swallow everything.
