Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 1586 1586: Beginning of Real Power

Bam! Bam! Bam!

A hail of blows from seven monsters rained down on a single human, but it didnʼt seem like this human was in a difficult situation.

Goen moved so fast that Adam and Alexia, watching the battle, could barely see even a fraction of his movements.

At the same time, it was easy for them to see the attacks of everyone from the fifth team, except for the Old Horn.

”This monster, he doesnʼt look like the others,” Adam thought, looking at the Old Horn. ”If these seven are directly subordinate to the Befallen Crown, then heʼs some mercenary, right? Shit, so all this time here, in the Primal Lands, there was someone like him?ʼ

Only the Old Horn could fight Goen on equal terms, although that was an exaggeration.

After all, Goen was still using only his fists and energy, while the Old Horn immediately summoned his Arc.

”Come on, kids! Start using your true power!” The Old Horn exclaimed with excitement. ”Canʼt you see that he doesnʼt even consider you worthy of seeing his weapon? If I were you, I wouldnʼt put up with such humiliation!”

Whoooooosh.

The Old Horn grabbed his axe with both hands before bringing it down on Goen with all his might.

In a heartbeat, Goen twisted his torso as the axe flew right past his chest. The blade split the lake in two, leaving a wide line of ice in the center.

At the same moment, intense heat appeared from above, causing Goen to turn around. For some reason, it was this attack that caught his attention.

The hammer man directed his energy into his weapon, causing it to burst into a crimson flame, hot enough to melt snow even here, in the Primal Lands.

”You wonʼt be able to dodge this strike!” The hammer man exclaimed as steam began to rise from the water in the lake.

Something strange happened to Goen. His eyes darted from side to side, as if he were looking for a way to escape.

”Is he afraid?” Adam thought. He couldnʼt believe that this was really happening. ”Is this attack really that dangerous? Is Goen vulnerable to fire?”

In fact, everyone had similar thoughts. Everyone saw that Goenʼs expression had changed dramatically, but no one knew the real reason why.

Whoooooooosh.

A moment before the strike, Goen disappeared as he appeared right in front of the hammer man. He grabbed the heavy man by the throat like a puppet before throwing him forward, toward the waterfall.

”You... What are you...!”

The hammer man tried to grab the edge mid-flight, but Goen was already in front of him.

With a cold stare, he kicked the man right in the jaw, knocking him off the waterfall.

Whatʼs more, Goen followed the man straight to the river below.

The others looked at each other. They were puzzled, but what choice did they have but to follow their mate? They couldnʼt let Goen kill them one by one. That would be a big mistake.

”Go! We have to help him!” Liliane exclaimed as she headed forward first.

Everyone followed Liliane, and even Adam and Alexia moved closer to the edge, the protective fume moving behind them. They wanted to see what was happening.

But... something was wrong.

”Agh?”

Adam turned around as he stared at the young man who, despite what was happening, had not moved from his spot.

”Whatʼs wrong with you? Why are you ignoring the fight and not helping them?”

”Hmm?” The young man opened his amber eyes slightly. ”Shouldnʼt that be good news for you? One of your enemies is inactive. I would be happy about that.”

Adam frowned.

”No, itʼs not good news at all, far from it. Youʼre waiting for something, arenʼt you?”

The corners of the young manʼs lips turned upward.

”Maybe, maybe not. This hunter is strong, but sooner or later, he will make a mistake. Itʼs bound to happen.”

The young man said nothing more. For the time being, he became a third observer.

”Let me go!” The hammer man exclaimed, jumping back.

His neck was bruised, and blood was flowing from his chin. All this happened in just two attacks, but he was ready to fight on.

The atmosphere became tense, until...

”Hahahahahahahaha!” The Old Horn laughed so hard that he slapped his knee. ”Sorry, I just canʼt help myself! Hahahahaha!”

Liliane narrowed her eyes.

”Whatʼs so funny?”

The Old Horn waved his hand.

”Itʼs not about you. I mean, you all noticed that this hunter started to get nervous before the last attack, right? Hahaha, Iʼm sure many of you thought he was afraid of getting hit by that attack, but in fact, the reason for his panic was something else!”

”Hmm?”

Liliane was caught off guard.

”What do you mean? I would definitely fear for my life if I were threatened by such a powerful flame attack!”

The Old Horn scratched the back of his head.

”Yeah, maybe you would, but not him. The only thing that bothered him was the flame, specifically what would happen to the snow and the lake.”

The realization struck their team.

”He just didnʼt want the fire attack to evaporate all the water in the lake, which would destroy his home.” The Old Horn turned to Goen. ”Am I understanding this correctly?”

Goen nodded.

”Yeah. I spent a lot of energy and time finding this place. I donʼt want it all to be destroyed because of some kids who think they have real power.”

For Liliane, that was the last straw.

”Now!” She pointed her rapier at Goen. ”Weʼll end this fight right now!”

Everyone understood her order.

The blue-haired girl was the first to act. Her shots did not affect Goen, but like any Lord, she had a trump card.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Her aura grew as a blue circle with several stars soaring before her.

Adam had seen such abilities before. They were used by the Lords who fought against Saegar at the Dark Shore.

The blue-haired girl chose one of the stars as she exclaimed:

”Azure Hail!”

The hammer man and axe man used their abilities as well. As soon as the three of them chose stars from their circles, fields of different colors emerged from them: blue, yellow, and red, differing in their elements.

Goen blinked as he saw myriads of azure dots high in the sky. Flames were gathering on the left, and lightning was moving on the right.

ʼHave they finally decided to show what they are capable of? Good. It will be useful to know what the current Lords are capable of.ʼ
