The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak
chapter-832

The fragments of the shattered space floated in the air. It reflected what was happening in the sub-world, the place beyond the portal at the top of the Mountain of Demise. The people of the Hall Plains didn't need to go through the portal if they wanted to arrive at the sub-world, they just needed to go through the shattered space.

Every person in Hall Plains couldn't help but look at the fragment of space.

Gerxuzs, Governor Ray, and Alexander were laying on the ground. Their blood has evaporated due to the extreme hotness of the molten rocks.

No God Emperor was floating in the air with a smile on his face. The people that were facing him were Souta and Ibis.

Alexander's last attack heavily injured No God Emperor.

While Governor Ray saved Souta and Ibis so that they could end No God Emperor.

Everything was in the hands of these two people. They were facing the greatest opponent that they have faced in their entire lives.

"Give it all! If you can't stop me then, I, No God Emperor will sacrifice everyone in this land!" No God Emperor said as he stared at the two people.

"In the name of Goddess Athena, I, Ibis will stop you." Ibis raised her sword. She poured her last bit of mana into her blade as she stood in front of Souta.

She softly said to Souta, "Squad Leader Souta, I don't think I could buy you a long time. I'm ready to sacrifice myself, just make sure to end this guy with your attack."

Souta took a deep breath and nodded at her words. He knew that if he couldn't defeat No God Emperor then it would be the end of every one.

"Great determination! Here I come!" No God Emperor grinned before he launched himself.

"Argh!!" Ibis roared as she swung the blade in her hands.

Boom!!

This entire Mountain of Demise started to shake. Fountains of lava burst from the ground in every corner of the Hall Plains. The mana in the atmosphere was getting restless as if something bad was about to occur.

The crimson sky slowly turned darker and darker. Even the crimson net that enveloped the Hall Plains and star system showed cracks on its surface.

Everyone felt that the Hall Plains was about to collapse.

These were the signs that the Mountain of Demise was slowly recognizing the vessel as No God Emperor.

It means that No God Emperor would be freed and everyone would die without exception.

Why was this happening? All the deaths in Hall Plains were sacrifices so it fuel the ritual. No God Emperor didn't need to kill every living being. He either needed to sacrifice the people in the sub-world or Hall Plains.

Although the Hall of Power was defeated, the cause of their actions lingered around. That's why they tried to cause a conflict between different organizations across the land.

It was all part of their plan.

"Boss... It's up to you." Eztein muttered while looking at the fragments of space that reflected what was happening in the sub-world.

"Souta..." Torkez narrowed his eyes.

"So he is fighting some absurd beings out there..." Franklin laughed.

The other people watched the battle too from their position. Some of the people in other regions realized what was happening. They were rooted in their position as they watched the battle in the sub-world with their own eyes.

The battle that would decide the fate of their land.

Isabella closed her eyes and prayed for Souta's safety. She hoped that he would win this battle.

"Souta..."

She heard a familiar voice behind her. Isabella hurriedly looked around and saw Alice approaching her while looking at the sky.

"Alice, are you okay?" Isabella asked with concern in her eyes. She was worried about her this whole time.

"I'm fine. Don't mind me." Alice shook her head and turned back to watch the battle. "The most important thing... is Souta."

She didn't know that Souta was fighting such a battle. If only... If only she had enough strength. She tightly clenched her fist in frustration.

"Our Lord!!"

"Lord Souta!!"

The other members of Astros shouted as they cheered for their leader. All of them wanted Souta to win this battle no matter what.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta closed his eyes and let Saya's energy flow through his body. He took a deep breath before he opened his eyes once again. He didn't pay attention on the battle between Ibis and No God Emperor. He knew that Ibis would give it her all no matter what.

He just needed to do one thing... And that is to complete his preparation so that he could defeat No God Emperor.

"Archetype..."

The atmosphere suddenly changed as thunderclouds gathered in the sky. It covered almost everything above as if it was the entire heavens.

Rumble!!

The thundercloud roared like a violent beast. The sound of thunder reverberated throughout the whole world as if it was declaring something.

'Souta, leave it to me.' Saya's voice echoed in his mind.

Souta grabbed the blade of his sword and slid his hand across it. His blood painted the sword before an oppressive feeling slowly permeated within.

[Archetype: Great Blood of the End]!!

The sound of thunder grew louder and louder. Droplets of blood slowly erupted from the ground, rising into the air. As far as the eye could see, blood rose from the sky. Each one of them contained a huge amount of power.

Even in Hall Plains, all the blood in this piece of land soared upwards heading into the shattered space.

"What is this...?" Eztein muttered as he looked at the floating droplets of blood around him.

"Souta is gathering all this blood..." Torkez muttered.

"Our leader is really full of surprises." Franklin grinned.

All this blood had one direction and that was the planet that No God Emperor was in.

It couldn't even hide the destructive power that it possessed. Even an A-rank could feel the pressure coming from a single drop of those blood. Now, there were tens of millions of droplets.

Crackle!!

An arc of lightning flashed in the sky, painting the whole world with its light. However, this lightning was different from normal lightning not it was the vajra lightning which had the color of black.

"...Lifeless Blood Lightning!"

This lightning possessed the color of blood. No, the right thing to say was that this lightning was made through the refinements of all the blood that Souta gathered. They were integrated using the powers of dark and light to achieve such a state. It was made from the blood of the people that he had killed before.

Thus, he named it Lifeless Blood Lightning.

The blood had a form of lightning which was made possible by Souta's extreme blood manipulation and the integration of his element power. This lightning would be upgraded along with his elemental power and traits.

Crackle!!

The blood-colored lightning crackled around Souta. His sword emitted a dense amount of lightning that could entirely wreck everything into pieces.

Souta created this using his knowledge with the help of Saya. He modified the [Archetype: Vajra Extremity] to suit his own body since it was incompatible with him. It was extremely dangerous so he didn't use Archetype for the time being. His time with Alexander also bolstered his knowledge since modifying techniques were related to Forbidden Spells and Sublimation of Combat Arts.

Ohm!

Souta took a deep breath and stared ahead. He completed his preparation so he had to help Ibis since she was holding No God Emperor alone.

"Grain Leader! Leave this to me!" Souta said before he dashed forward.

Ibis was on a full defense against No God Emperor. She focused all of her strength on defense so that she could last longer. Her entire body was trembling and her eyelid felt heavy.

She lost too much blood as she could feel slight dizziness. She could barely hold the sword in her hand. This was the limit of her strength and she didn't want to imagine what would happen if she fell here.

Argh!!

She had to buy time for Souta to finish his preparation.

No God Emperor's hand quivered, and a flash of golden light burst forth.

Ibis widened her eyes as both of her arms rolled in the air, splashing blood everywhere. Her sword fell on the molten rock.

Argh!!

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

Swoosh!!

She lifted her foot and launched a vicious kick. The next second, her foot was rolling in midair. Before she could even realize it, a hand came through her stomach.

Ugh!

"You gave me a great battle. You are worthy of my respect." No God Emperor said before he pulled out his hand.

Ibis spat a mouthful of blood as she glanced at the gaping hole in her stomach.

Swoosh!!

She was about to fall when a red light flashed and her figure disappeared.

No God Emperor turned his head and saw Souta behind him holding Ibis in his arms. He smiled, "At last, this time we will settle it."

"We will defeat you this time," Souta said before he placed down Ibis.
