The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 79 - Monster Tide 2

”Warning! A Monster Tide has appeared in the outskirt of the Gate 1 of the city!”

”All available adventurers should gather to the Adventurers Guild and help fight the Monster Tide!”

A warning was issued all over the whole city.

Souta stood up when he heard the warning. He looked at his side and saw that Bryan was looking at him.

He understood what Bryan wanted to do by looking at his eyes. He smiled and nodded at Bryan.

Bryan nodded in return.

Souta then quickly turned around and exited the classroom. Bryan followed him behind.

”W-Wait!! The class...” Lumilia stood up and wanted to stop them but she found that both of them were already gone.

She could only sigh and went back to her seat.

...

Since it was early, the gate of the institute was still open. The guard would let students enter and exit the institute as long it didnʼt pass eight oʼclock.

On their way to Adventurers Guild, Souta and Bryan met a lot of adventurers going towards the Adventurers Guild. Itʼs natural that they heard the warning.

Thereʼs also a group of city guards heading towards the Gate 1. They were going to repel the monster tide with the help of the adventurers.

The people around them didnʼt care about that. It looks like they trust the city guards to defend the city.

Souta and Bryan arrived in the Adventurers Guild. Both of them entered the guild and saw a lot of adventurers taking the monster tide quest.

Souta and Bryan all took the quest.

*Ding!*

[Quest Triggered!]

[Monster Tide]: Kill the monsters that are going to attack the city. Rewards: Depends on the number of monsters that you have slain.

Souta nodded when he heard the system prompt inside his head. He received a lot of monster tide quest back in the game. A lot of players joined the monster tide quest because the rewards for this quest were something good especially to those who had high merits in the quest.

The two went to Gate 1. They looked ahead and saw a large group of monsters. Their numbers surpassed one thousand and the scout estimated that its number reached five thousand.

Souta looked at the monster tide and saw a lot of familiar monsters.

”A disaster-level monster tide, huh?” Souta muttered in a low voice.

A disaster-level monster tide was the lowest level of monster tide. It means that the monsters that formed the tide were just low-level monsters. The level of the monsters in this tide was between 10 and 40. The strongest one was the monster who just formed their monster orb.

There were three levels of monster tide. The disaster-level, calamity-level, and the catastrophe-level.

The calamity-level monster tide wasnʼt going to be easy like this one. The higher-ups of the city guard would join the battle and sometimes the city lord would be forced to take action. Even the branch guild master of the Adventurers Guild would join the battle.

Then, the catastrophe-level monster tide was worse. Ladros City wouldnʼt even be able to defend such level of monster tide. It needed the force of the whole Hebrei Kingdom to stop it because a monster lord was leading such monster tide.

”What the hell!! There are so many monsters!” Bryan exclaimed at his side.

Souta looked at Bryan and said, ”I thought that you donʼt want to skip class.”

”Yeah, I donʼt.” Bryan nodded his head.

”But why?” Souta asked.

”Hmm... I thought that should join this fight and help defend the city against the monsters.” Bryan replied.

”Nnn...” Souta focused his attention on the monster tide.

...

In the classroom...

Bargan was in front of the class and was doing a roll call. He found that Bryan and Souta were absent once again.

He looked at Lumilia and asked, ”Where are Bryan and Souta?”

”Um... Sir... They are adventurers so they probably went out to fight the monster tide.” Lumilia hesitated at first whether she should tell it or not.

”...They didnʼt even say to me that they are going to join the battle.” Bargan said with a sigh.

”Um... Teacher, what should we do?” Lumilia asked.

”Donʼt worry about it they are adventurers so they should be responsible,” Bargan said as he waved his hand. ”Iʼll deduct their points later.”

”You too should experience a real battle as it would make you strong.” He said to the whole class.

Alice looked outside the window and wondered what they were doing right now.

...

The guards already formed their formation. They were the vanguard of this group while the adventurers were going to cut down the number of the monster from the side.

The guards were wearing full plate armor like a knight. They were exuding a fierce aura and intense killing intent. They were ready to clash at any time.

The adventurers were different from the guards. They were lively and chatting with a happy expression. They were talking about the rewards of this battle and what theyʼre going to do with it. As an adventurer, itʼs not the first time they join a fight in the monster tide.

Only those Rank E adventurers had a nervous expression. They were trembling at the sight of more than a thousand monsters ahead of them. Their party members assured them that itʼs gonna be okay. They just needed to be careful and watch out for monsters that were coming behind them.

Souta turned his head and looked at the adventurers.

At the back, he saw a group of five people wearing orange grade armor. They were the hunters of the Adventurers Guild. The hunters were the ones who were going to deal with the monster with a monster orb.

Orange grade? Even some noble household couldnʼt brought out that high grade armor. These adventurers weʼre definitely not normal at all.

ʼLuckily, I didnʼt bring Yuko here.ʼ Souta thought. He knew that these people hated monsters to the bones.

”Well, letʼs wait for the signal,” Souta said.

”Yeah, I canʼt wait for it,” Bryan said with an excited expression.

”Is this your first time seeing a monster tide?” Souta asked.

”Yeah, what about you?” Bryan nodded and asked him the same question.

”Yeah, itʼs my first time too,” Souta said. Heʼs not lying. This was his first time seeing a monster tide since he transmigrated into this world.

Souta recalled something. He opened his mouth and said, ”If we performed great in this battle, there is a chance that the guild will promote us to Rank D.”

”Really?” Bryan asked.

”Yeah.” Souta nodded while looking at the monster tide.

The monster tide was slowly getting closer to the city. It was now one kilometer away from the Gate 1.

”Prepare yourself!!” The guard captain shouted.

The guards tapped their chest in response. They slowly advanced forward and was going to clash with the monster tide.

Souta looked at Bryan and said, ”Letʼs go.”

”Okay.” Bryan nodded at him.

The adventurers followed the guard behind. They split up into two groups. The left wing and the right wing of the formation. They were responsible for cutting down the monster from the side.

When they got closer to the monster tide, guards charged towards the monster tide without any hesitation. They raised their shield and sword.

Roar!!

The monsters roared angrily at the group of city guards. They dashed forward to kill those impudent city guards.

Boom!!

There were many types of monsters in this tide. Terror wolf, kobold, troll, orc, and ogre were among the tide. Even their evolve form joined the tide.

The guards smashed their shield at the monsters that pounced on them before swung their sword.

Putchi!!

The number of guards was only five hundred but each one of them could fight three monsters at the same time. Even though they were outnumbered they could still put up a fight against the monsters. Plus, the adventurers were helping them from the side.

Souta and Bryan rushed towards the monsters.

[Agility Boost]!!

[Strength Boost]!!

Souta casted two buff spells on himself. He pulled out the [Vajra Sword Saya] on his waist and slashed it at the monster in front of him.

Putchi!!

The monster was sliced into two. Its body spurted out blood.

”I need to kill a lot of monster in order to raise my rank,” Souta mumbled as he kept slashing his sword in every monster that he saw.

He moved his body swiftly. Jumping from side to side dodging every attack while waving his sword. Every time he waved his sword, a body of a monster flew in the mid-air.

Swoosh!!

Swoosh!!

Suddenly, a loud explosion occurred in the back and it shook the entire ground. Strange energy swept out like a ripple in the air. It brought down the mana in the air.

Boom!!

Souta stopped when he felt it. He looked in that direction and guessed that the hunters were fighting the monster with a monster orb.

”I should hurry up before they could kill that monster,” Souta muttered and he casted [Shadow Bind] spell.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

Then, he swung his sword around him killing all the monsters in the vicinity.

Putchi!!

Souta smiled his filled the soul requirement. Back in the Desolate Woods, some of the corpses there already passed the time limit of three hours so he couldnʼt collect all the souls there.

He only managed to fill up the souls when he came back to the Dry Gulch Town. There, he collected the souls of the dead one and used the effects of the [Harvester of the Soul] two times.

But here was different...

All the souls of the monsters kept flowing in the [Soul Blood Earring]. If they managed to kill all the five thousand monsters here, then Souta would be able to collect five thousand souls.

Ah~ thatʼs good...
