The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 56 - Saving the damsel

Roar!

Yuko roared loudly as she charged towards the group of people wearing a black hooded robe.

”Letʼs kill this monster quickly!”

”Yeah!”

They quickly move around and surround Yuko.

Swoosh!!

Swoosh!!

Swoosh!!

A dagger fell out of their sleeve and they grabbed it before attacking Yuko.

Yuko grabbed a huge boulder on her side and threw it.

”Dodge!”

The hooded people quickly jumped sideways to avoid the boulder.

Boom!

Yuko saw them avoid the boulder. She turned around and faced the one behind her.

She stepped forward and waved her hand towards the hooded man.

Swoosh!!

The hooded man bent his body barely avoiding her attack. ”Thatʼs close...” He muttered while looking at Yuko warily. He understood that this Red Fur Bear was strong and knew how to fight.

”Bombard it using magic!” He shouted before he jumped backward.

Roar!

Yuko charged towards them but they just avoided her maintaining a distance away from her.

”Stop the monster for a second!”

Five hooded people then charged and clashed with Yuko.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While the five hooded people weʼre exchanging blows with Yuko the other five from the back casted their magic spell.

But before they threw their spells at Yuko, Bryan appeared with flames coating his fist.

”[Blazing Strike]!!”

Bryan threw his punch towards them.

Boom!!

...

”Hmm... These people are quite strong.” Souta muttered while looking at the people who were exchanging blows at Yuko. Even he wouldnʼt dare to take Yukoʼs blow head-on. Her strength wasnʼt something he could ignore.

”Donʼt tell me they are nobles from Melosa Country,” Souta said. He heard from the adventurers in the guild that nobles from Melosa Country came here for the Mystical Light Cherry.

”These troublesome nobles...” Souta sighed. He too was killed by the army of those nobles back in the game when he was doing a quest concerning them.

Thatʼs why right now, he doesnʼt have a plan to solo all the quest. He planned to build a team and train them to avoid getting killed. He knew clearly how dangerous the quest that he will take in the future. While taking those difficult quest he died at least once.

...

Boom!

”I will take you!” Bryan said and his mana flared up. He moved his hands and casted a magic spell.

”[Lightning Edge]!!”

Lightning crackled and it formed like a blade at the side of both of his wrist.

”[Lightning Boots]!!”

He casted another spell. Lightning crackled around his feet.

”Okay, letʼs do this!” Bryan smiled and charged towards the group of hooded people.

Swoosh!!

”Wha-” The group of hooded people was shocked. They found the Bryan was already gone. They slowly turned their head behind them and saw that Bryan was already standing there with his back towards them.

Crackle!!

Suddenly, they felt pain all over their body.

”Ahh!!”

They groaned as they found that they couldnʼt move at all. Their consciousness was fading slowly as their vision began to blur.

They gritted their teeth and was preparing to attack Bryan but he was already gone.

Crackle!!

”Ahh!!”

They screamed as they fell down and lose consciousness.

...

”[Lightning Boots]...” Souta muttered in a low voice. This spell was more effective in raising the agility and dexterity attribute than his [Agility Boost] spell. He could see it that those people could barely react to Bryanʼs speed. This was the first time he saw Bryan used a magic spell. Bryan always used combat arts before so Souta doesnʼt have any idea what type of mage Bryan is.

[Lightnight Edge] also wasnʼt an ordinary spell. Itʼs a powerful spell that has high damage and could paralyze the target. It was perfect for subduing the targetʼs alive.

”It seems that Bryan is going to the path of Battle Mage...” He patted his clothes and walked towards Bryan.

...

Bryan looked at the green-haired girl that looks like 13 years old girl. He smiled and asked, ”Are you okay?”

”...um.” The green-haired girl didnʼt know what to say.

Bryan turned his head and looked at Yuko. It seems that she was done in her business too. He turned back his head to the green-haired girl.

Bryan smiled gently and said, ”Donʼt worry, I wonʼt harm you. Iʼm just here to help you.”

”...why?” A simple question escaped out of the green-haired girlʼs mouth.

”Um... I say do I need a reason to help other people.” Bryan said gently.

”Cough... Cough...” Souta coughed when he heard those cringy words. Those words made him shiver. ʼWhat the hell?! Is he some kind of real-life hero?!ʼ He thought.

Bryan turned his head and saw Souta. ”Whatʼs wrong, Souta? Did you catch a cold here?” He asked when he saw him coughing.

”N-Nothing...” Souta shook his head.

He then focused his attention on the green-haired girl. He narrowed his eyes while looking at her green color pupils.

”...um.” The green-haired girl subconsciously took a step back.

”Oi Souta! Donʼt scare her.” Bryan said to Souta when he saw the green-haired girl getting scared.

”Youʼre too kind.” Souta sighed and he turned around. He saw that Yuko was already behind him. He reached out his hand and patted her head. ”Good job, Yuko.”

Bryan squatted down and asked the girl. ”How many people are chasing after you?”

The green-haired girl shook her head.

Souta joined them. ”Then, why are they chasing after you?”

The girl lowered her head as she didnʼt dare to meet his eyes.

”Hmm...” Souta narrowed his eyes. It seems that the girl knew why those people were after her. She just doesnʼt want to answer him as there was a chance that he will get involved in her affairs.

ʼI smell a secret quest from this girl. Okay, thereʼs value in keeping her.ʼ Souta rubbed his chin and grinned.

”Stop Souta!” Bryan stopped Souta and he patted the girlʼs head and said, ”Donʼt worry, if you donʼt want to tell us then we will not force you.”

”Well...” Souta shrugged his shoulder. He then looked around and said, ”Letʼs go now.”

”Okay.” Bryan nodded his head. He then asked the girl. ”Do you want to come with us? Donʼt worry we will protect you.”

”I promise I will not harm you,” Souta said from the side. He decided that itʼs worth keeping her beside him.

”...O-Okay.” The girl nodded meekly.

”Yosh! Letʼs go now!” Bryan said as he raised his fist above his head.

”Yuko, Letʼs go!” Souta said as he started to walk.

Bryan, Yuko, and the green-haired girl followed him.

...

Souta stopped after walking for a few minutes.

”Whatʼs wrong, Souta?” Bryan asked him.

Souta glanced at him and said, ”I forgot something. Wait for me here.”

”Huh?” Bryan looked at him with a confused expression.

The green-haired girl also looked up at him.

Souta ignored them and he patted Yukoʼs soft and fluffy fur.

”Yuko, stay here for a while.”

”Mu...” Yuko looked at him meekly.

”Okay, I will go now.” Souta smiled and said. He then jumped in the tree.

”Wait, Souta! Where are you going?” Bryan shouted.

”Wait for me here!” Soutaʼs words echoed as he disappeared.

”Jeez... That Souta.” Bryan complained. He looked at the girl and Yuko. ”I guess we will wait here for a while.”

...

The group of hooded people slowly regained their consciousness.

”Ouch! My head hurts!”

”What happened?!”

”That girl managed to escape!”

”Argh!”

”We need to find her or else the boss will...”

They complained as they felt the pain on their body. They couldnʼt even move properly with their condition. They recalled what happened before and cursed the one who helped the girl.

”That f.u.c.k.i.n.g tamer!”

”Why did he help that girl?!”

They thought that Bryan was the tamer. He didnʼt saw Souta before so they thought that Bryan was the master of the Red Fur Bear.

Suddenly, their shadows shot upwards and bind their bodies.

”Argh!!”

”What the hell is this?!”

”F.u.c.k!!”

”Darkness element spell, Shadow Bind?!”

”Whatʼs that?!”

”A spell perfect for binding!!”

”Weʼre done!”

”Hahaha, weʼre going to die!”

Various exclamation sounded as they tried everything theyʼve got to free themselves from the shadows.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

A sound of footsteps echoed causing them to stopped moving. They turned their heads but the shadows moved and prevent them from seeing the personʼs face.

They could only see the lower body of the approaching person. They donʼt have any idea about who it is.

”W-Whoʼs that?!”

One person got a courage and asked while stuttering.

”Hmm... That doesnʼt matter. I want to ask you some questions so you better answer me honestly.” The person said in a monotonous tone.

From the tone of the voice, they guessed that this was a man. They kept their mouth shut.

”Hmm... If youʼre going to keep quiet then let me do this...” The man grabbed his sword and swung it towards the person near him.

Putchi!!

A head of a person flew in the sky. The headless body spurted out blood like a fountain.

The people beside him opened their eyes widely. They looked at the headless body of their comrades with wide eyes. Fear started to seep deep in their soul.

Gulp!

They subconsciously gulped and when they were about to turn their heads towards the man, the shadows that were binding them tightened around their body.

”Okay, I will ask a question so think carefully before you answer.”

The personʼs voice was cold that it made them shuddered in fear.

”Why are you chasing that green-haired girl?”
