The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 62 - Into the Dungeon

Souta was surprised when he received a quest.

[Gathering]: Help Lumiliaʼs group in acquiring the Mystical Light Cherry. Rewards: 20,000 exp, 10 free attribute points, 5 skill points.

ʼFive skill points...!ʼ Souta was surprised to see 5 skill points as rewards. The difficulty of this quest was clearly higher than all the quest that he did before.

He turned his head and looked at Lumiliaʼs group. He wondered if he should accept the quest or not.

Accepting the quest means that he wouldnʼt acquire the Mystical Light Cherry, but he would get five skill points. Thatʼs a lot of skill points.

”Okay, Iʼll help you but first you have to help me first.” Souta nodded at them and stated his condition. If he hadnʼt asked them anything in return then they would grow suspicious of him.

”Thanks for accepting our selfish request, but I have a question,” Fred said politely.

”Do tell me,” Souta said in response to him.

”How should we help you?” Fred asked carefully.

”Hmm... We will enter the dungeon later and just protect Cl.u.s.ter.” Souta said as he rubbed his chin.

”Is that all?” Fred took a glance at Cl.u.s.ter and asked Souta.

”Yeah, Bryan and I will become too busy in fighting so we need someone to protect Cl.u.s.ter.”

”Then, Iʼm curious about this Red Fur Bear.”

”Ah! Her? Sheʼs Yuko, my partner! Yuko say hi to them!”

”Mu.”

...

Souta turned his head and looked at Bryan. Bryan was looking on the ground while his fists clenched tightly.

Souta approached him and patted his back. He said, ”Donʼt worry about it, Iʼm just testing you if youʼre going to change your perspective in life. But donʼt worry, that okay, just do what you think is right.”

Souta left after he said those words to Bryan.

Yuko looked at Bryan before she followed Souta.

Cl.u.s.ter lifted up her head and looked at Yuko and Soutaʼs back. Then, she turned her head and looked at Bryan.

...

Souta talked about the detailed information of the Mystical Light Cherry to Lumilia.

Souta, Lumilia, Fred, and Jusmin were around the Map of the Desolate Woods. They were looking at the map with a serious expression.

”Where is the exact place of the fruit?” Souta asked.

”We donʼt know the exact place but the fruit was said to be seen in this part,” Lumilia said as she drew a circle in small part of the northern woods.

Souta looked at the map with a scrutinizing gaze. After a few moments, he opened his mouth and said, ”We should go around this part to avoid the nest Titan Hornets. We shouldnʼt use our energy in fighting these monsters as we need to fight the other people that came here for the fruit.”

”Other people?” Lumilia looked at Souta.

”Huh? Do you think that youʼre the only one who came here for the fruit? There are people who came here with the same reason as you. They are competitors. We have to fight and defeat them if you want to get the Mystical Light Cherry.” Souta said in a cold tone.

”...yeah.” Lumilia lowered her head and nodded.

Souta guessed that Lumilia didnʼt know anything at all. She just came here because she heard about the Mystical Light Cherry. She didnʼt even bring knights in her quest like the other nobles that came here.

”Hais...”

Souta sighed helplessly. It seems that Lumilia was innocent in outside world affairs.

To think that the strict class rep didnʼt know this. It seems like he overestimated her.

”Okay, letʼs finished what we came here first,” Souta said as he stood up.

”Thanks.” Fred also stood up and thanked Souta.

”You can save your thanks after we get that fruit.” Souta glanced at him and said before he left.

Lumilia, Fred, and Jusmin looked at his back.

”Is he really your classmate, young miss?” Justin asked Lumilia in a low voice.

”Yeah, from what I see heʼs the strongest in our class.” Lumilia nodded.

”Young miss, if Iʼm not wrong your class is Mage Class, am I right?” Fred asked.

”Yes, weʼre from Mage Class. He showed a power not befitting any mage in our class. He even defeated the students from Shield Class without using any spells.” Lumilia explained to them.

...

The group walked for an hour before they arrived near in front of the waterfalls.

”Is this where the dungeon resides?” Bryan asked as he looked at the forty-meter tall falls.

”Yeah, itʼs behind that falls.” Souta nodded as he observed Bryan. It seems that Bryan recovered now. His mental capacity was high and it looks like he experienced the same thing before.

Souta doesnʼt know what Bryan experienced before that made him like that. Bryan seems bent on saving everyone that needs help.

Souta looked at Cl.u.s.ter and said, ”Cl.u.s.ter, stay behind Lumilia. She will protect you.”

Cl.u.s.ter nodded her head and she stood beside Lumilia.

Lumilia looked at Cl.u.s.ter and patter her head. ”Donʼt worry, I will protect you.”

”Thank you.” Cl.u.s.ter nodded meekly.

”Follow me,” Souta said as he stepped forward and let the water fell on his body.

The rest of the group followed Souta behind.

Behind the waterfalls, they saw a wide cave. It was so wide that Yuko could move inside the cave freely.

Everyoneʼs clothes were wet because of the waterfalls.

Bryan looked around and saw Jusminʼs bra through her maid outfit. When he saw her bra, he quickly turned around and looked deep in the dungeon.

Souta noticed it so he looked at the girls and said, ”You should dry your clothes first. Bryan couldnʼt even concentrate when youʼre showing such things to him.”

Lumilia, Cl.u.s.ter, and Jusmin looked at their body and saw that their wet clothes were sticking close in their body.

”Young miss!” Fred exclaimed as he removed his coat and placed it on Lumilia.

”Thank you, Fred!” Lumilia said with a hint of redness in her cheeks as she glanced at Bryan and she saw him looking at the cave, then at Souta, and saw him looking at her. ”You!!”

”You, what? I couldnʼt even see whatʼs there even if you donʼt hide it.” Souta said to her.

”You!!” Lumilia blushed and she didnʼt even know what to say anymore.

”Young miss is still in her growing phase, so she would grow into a fine woman after a few years.” Jusmin stepped forward and said while looking at him fiercely.

”Then, complain to me after a few years or after she got the same body as yours,” Souta said as he turned around and shrugged his shoulder.

Jusmin covered her chest with her hands when she heard Soutaʼs words.

Yuko stepped forward and stuck out her tongue. She licked Soutaʼs cheeks.

”Stop that! I will give you some fruit.” Souta said as he patted Yukoʼs head. He placed his other hand on his bag and took out a fruit. He gave the fruit to her so that she would stop.

He then walked beside Bryan and placed his hand on Bryanʼs shoulder. He placed his mouth near Bryanʼs ear and whispered, ”After this quest, you should come with me to the Red Light District? I will pick the best woman for you.”

”I-” Bryan was about to decline when Souta interrupted him.

”Donʼt worry itʼs my treat.” Souta patted Bryanʼs shoulder.

...

The group went inside the dungeon. Souta lit up a torch and he let the none combatants hold the torch. The area inside the cave was wide so they were not cramped in a small narrow path like any other dungeons.

The road was dark and they could barely see whatʼs inside the cave.

After walking for a few minutes, they saw crystals on the ceiling that was emitting light.

”Beautiful,” Jusmin exclaimed when she saw the crystals on the ceiling.

”Yeah, itʼs pretty.” Bryan nodded at her words.

Souta didnʼt have any reaction except that he thought that these crystals were convenient. These crystals were nothing compared to the crystals the lit up the Undead Sanctuary.

Souta looked behind him and said, ”You can throw the torches. We donʼt need them anymore.” Souta knew that at this point they didnʼt need the torches.

”Okay.” Cl.u.s.ter nodded and she threw the torch that she was holding. She was a non-combatant so Souta gave her a task before to hold the torch.

”Hmph!” Jusmin also threw the torch that she was holding.

”Also, be careful,” Souta warned them as he knew that they will meet monsters when they go deeper in the dungeon.

Bryan, Lumilia, and Fred nodded at his words. They prepared themselves to fight the monsters.

Soon, they met three giant snakes. The snakes were ten meters long and they have green scales.

”Letʼs kill it quickly,” Souta said as he pulled out the Vajra Sword.

”Okay.” Fred nodded at him.

Souta and Bryan charged towards the three giant snakes, and Fred followed behind the two.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

The snakes attacked Souta but he easily avoided it.

Bang!

He then slashed his sword at the snakes. His sword easily broke through the scales of the snake.

Putchi!

Red blood spurted out of the cut he gave to the snake.

Souta then jumped in the air and he twisted his body. He followed it up by waving his sword towards the head of the snake.

Putchi!

The snake was cut into two cleanly.

...

Bryan pulled back his fist and he gathered his mana.

Boom!

He jumped in threw a powerful punch on the head of the giant snake.

Bang!

He landed on the ground and flames coated both of his fist. He bent his knees and threw himself at the snake.

[Blazing Strike]!!

Boom!

The snake was pushed back. It took damage from that punch.

Suddenly, Bryan saw a sword flew in the air straight to the eye of the snake.

Putchi!

The sword pierced through the eye of the snake and Souta appeared.

Souta grabbed the handle of the sword and he pushed it deeper.
