The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 140 - Chain Quest: Souta vs. Gregory 2

The [Vajra Sword Saya] emitted a dark red energy. The energy spread on the ground beneath Soutaʼs feet.

Boom!

Soutaʼs aura skyrocketed and it reached the level of Gregory. He was using the [Vajra Sword Saya]ʼs ultimate skill. The [Possession] that he hadnʼt tried before. This was the first time he was using this skill ever since he acquired the Vajra Sword.

Soutaʼs pupils turned into red color and his body slowly absorbed the energy that the sword was emitting.

”W-Whatʼs this?” Gregory subconsciously took a step backward when he felt Soutaʼs energy reach his level.

”Have you forgotten who am I?” Souta said and he slowly lifted up his hand.

The sword trembled and it slowly changed form. The simple one edge blade became a blade that has an exquisite design. The handle didnʼt change as it still looks the one that came from katana but it only has a black orb on the pommel of the handle. Thereʼs a white long cloth that was attached to the black orb.

Then, a huge upper body of a woman materialized behind Souta. The body was red in color and it has one pair of horns sticking out on the side of her head. The woman didnʼt have eyes but she has a nose and mouth. Her mouth seemed to be laughing at everyone and her whole body was semi-transparent.

It was the corporeal body of the red woman inside the Vajra Sword.

Everyone took a step backward when they saw this scene. This scene of the red woman behind Souta was giving them some creepy feelings. They couldnʼt help but felt goosebumps from seeing this.

Alice and Lynn looked at this in daze. They were the closest to Souta so they felt the rise of his aura and this strange phenomenon that was happening right now.

Alice then regained her composure and she quickly took Lynn away. She knew that this place was going to become the battlefield for Souta and Gregory.

”Letʼs get out of here,” Alice said as she carried Lynn in her arms.

”Whatʼs that?” Lynn asked while looking at Souta.

”I donʼt know.” Alice shook her head.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

After the next moment, the red woman shrunk down to normal body size. She opened her arms and hugged Souta from behind. Then, her figure fused with Soutaʼs body.

”I thought class rep said it to you.” Souta grabbed the handle of the sword and slowly pulled it out.

He lifted up his other hand and bit his thumb. Then, he placed his thumb on the red blade of the sword and rubbed his blood on the blade by drawing a line on it.

ʼUfufu, contract complete.ʼ A playful voice sounded in Soutaʼs mind

Shiing!

”Iʼm going to show you what it means to take me, Souta Ieshi, with his dark grade weapon.” Souta then raised the sword above his head and the sword exerted a powerful force.

Ohm!

It caused a dark red ripple in the air and the [Ice Dome] collapsed. It broke like a fragile glass from the top and every tiny piece of it sprinkled down.

The [Ice Dome] reached its limit after it contained the power of the two tier 3 spells. It collapsed as soon as some powerful energy made contact with it.

”Impossible! A mere student, wielding a national level weapon?” Gregory was alarmed. He was now losing his composure as he felt that Soutaʼs power really reached his level. No, Souta was even stronger than him right now.

”Iʼve never heard such a thing!” He tried to denied what Souta said just now. He was in a state where he would lose his sanity at any moment.

”Of course, up until now, I didnʼt meet a worthy opponent to use the full power of this sword,” Souta said and he pointed his sword at Gregory.

”The Vajra Sword, Saya...” Souta paused for a moment before he continued, ”The sacred sword of the ancient Vajra race that annihilated countless demons in the war twenty thousand years ago.”

ʼUfufu, your lying... Do you want me to tell you about my origin?ʼ Saya laughed in his mind.

”You! Why must you get in my way?!” Gregory shouted as he charged towards Souta.

”I donʼt know, itʼs just that youʼre in the way of my quest,” Souta said and he charged towards Gregory.

Swoosh!!

In an instant, he appeared in front of Gregory. He then swung his sword but Gregory saw this and managed to avoid getting slash.

Gregory then took a distance away from Souta before picking up any random sword on the ground. He coated his sword using his mana to strengthen it so that he could exchange blows with Souta.

Souta chased Gregory and he didnʼt let him escape this place. He thrust his sword forward.

Swoosh!

Gregory reacted quickly and blocked his thrust using his sword. His sword cracked from that collision.

Thereʼs no way that an ordinary blue grade sword would last long against the dark grade sword that released its power. At best, a normal blue grade sword wouldnʼt last longer than five strikes. Since Gregory was strengthening it using his mana it would last longer than five strikes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Souta continued to slash his sword at Gregory, while Gregory could only passively defend himself from Souta.

Souta didnʼt even give him a chance to attack as he would shatter Gregoryʼs sword. Once Souta shattered Gregoryʼs sword, Gregory would back down and picked another sword.

Gregory jumped back and lifted up his hand above his head. He opened his palm and casted a powerful tier 3 spell.

[Downfall Flaming Rocks]!

A huge magic circle appeared in the sky. It emitted a dense magical aura and after a few seconds, hundreds of flaming rocks emerged from the magic circle. The rocks fell down with powerful momentum.

Souta ignored those flaming rocks on the sky as he charged towards Gregory. He then used [Crimson Moon] skill.

A dark red light flew out of his sword and it went directly towards Gregory.

Swoosh!

Gregory knew that he couldnʼt avoid it in time, so he chose to block the skill with his sword.

Bang!

”Argh!” Gregory couldnʼt completely block the skill using a blue grade weapon. His sword broke and the red light flashed on his right arm.

He then felt something wrong with that skill. The red energy was seeping inside his body.

”What the hell!”

He realized that this energy was corrupting his mana pool. He quickly circulated his mana and expelled the red energy out of his body. With the level of his control over his mana, he could expel the red energy, unlike Madan who didnʼt notice it until the last minute.

But he still lost a little bit of control over his mana even though he managed to expel the red energy out of his body.

”Damn, that brat!” Gregory cursed angrily. He looked at Souta with intense rage.

The flaming rocks were just above the two.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

Souta casted [Shadow Bind] and hundreds of towering tentacles-like shadows rose up from the ground.

Although the [Shadow Bind] spell was powerful, itʼs still a tier 1 spell so it wasnʼt a match of a tier 3 spell of Gregory.

ʼIf you want to make [Crimson Moon] and [Cross Moon] stronger, just used best feram and my energy along with it. Donʼt just randomly use the skill as you fit. Thereʼs a proper way to use every skill in the world.ʼ A feminine voice sounded in Soutaʼs mind.

Souta nodded his head and he looked up above him. The tentacles-like shadows were getting destroyed by the falling flaming rocks above him.

He gripped his sword tightly and dashed towards Gregory.

Swoosh!

”You still want to fight?!” Gregory gritted his teeth when he saw Souta rushed at him. ”If I only brought my armor and powerful knights here, you people wouldnʼt have a chance to win.”

Souta swung his sword which was coated with dark red aura.

Swoosh!

Gregory jumped away quickly and managed to avoid getting slash by Souta but Souta chased after him without hesitation.

Souta charged toward Gregory and thrust his sword forward. He used [Stab] skill along with it.

Swoosh!!

Gregory once again jumped backward to avoid Soutaʼs sword but he was wrong to do that. The [Stab] combat arts was already at level 4 so it has a range of five meters. Also, the piercing effect of this skill was quite high.

Added with Soutaʼs boosted strength, it pierced Gregoryʼs shoulder. Blood spurted out of his wounds. Gregory could avoid getting hit if he moved his body sideways.

”Argh!” Gregory groaned in pain as he looked at Souta with rage in his eyes.

Souta took a deep breath and he continued to clash against Gregory. His body couldnʼt handle the best feram and the [Vajra Sword Saya]ʼs power at the same time.

Plus, he found that the percentage added of the [Possession] could be increased. A normal [Possession] skill could increase his overall abilities by fifty percent.

He knew that the fifty percent increase of his abilities wasnʼt enough to defeat Gregory, so Saya offered him a deal to greatly increased his powers more than the added fifty percent.
