The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 175 - Going Outside

”Youʼre a B-rank adventurer so you could go toe to toe to some monsters with a monster orb. You will handle that monster while Iʼll handle the tamer.” Souta said to the guild master.

He knew that the guild master was a B-rank adventurer. The prerequisite requirement to become a branch guild master was to have the power of a B-rank. Thatʼs the minimum power level if one wanted to become a guild master.

”Can I trust you?” The guild master asked Souta with a serious expression. He still didnʼt know if he could trust Souta or not.

”You donʼt have a choice but to trust me or else this dukedom will fall,” Souta said as he shrugged his shoulder.

The power of the B-rank adventurer was important for this mission. If Souta wanted to take down the tamer then he needed to have at least one B-rank beside him to hold that monsters.

Souta knew that the guild master wasnʼt a match to a monster that undergo fourth evolution. Thatʼs why he planned to disrupt the evolution. No, even at the current power of that monster the guild master still didnʼt have a chance to defeat it.

A single B-rank wasnʼt enough to defeat a monster at the peak of the third evolution. In the game, the third evolution monster was between level 40 - 60. So defeating it was impossible for a mere B-rank. They needed at least a party of B-rank to defeat a monster at the middle level of third evolution, and three parties consisted of B-rank to defeat a monster at the peak of third evolution.

A single A-rank was needed to fight this level of monsters. But it still wasnʼt enough to defeat it. Well, it all depends on the skills of the adventurers and the type of monster.

But from the guild masterʼs story, it seems that he already fought this monster before when he got captured. The power of the guild master must be between B-rank and A-rank.

Looking back at that monster in the bas.e.m.e.nt, Souta thought that the monster didnʼt show its true prowess to the guild master.

Well, the guild master was clearly at a disadvantage at that time and the tamer must have launched a surprised attack to injured the guild master.

”I understand. Iʼll fight that monster.” The guild master nodded his head.

”Youʼll fight that monster while Iʼm going to fight the tamer. I wanted to see his taming skills and compared it to mine.” Souta said.

Judging from the guild masterʼs current condition, Souta thought that the guild master could only fight that monster for ten minutes. He also considered that the monsters in the bas.e.m.e.nt werenʼt at its peak because they would disrupt its evolution. These ten minutes were enough for Souta to handle the tamer.

Suddenly, Souta heard footsteps that disrupted his thoughts. The guild master and Yuko also heard it.

”Iʼm wondering where are the guys that will silence us but now they are here,” Souta said as he smiled as he looked at the hallway.

”Those dark vine eaters from the back?” The guild master looked at the back. The two dark vine eater were eating the corpses of the prisoners. These emerged at the same time with the dark vine eater that Yuko killed.

”Kill them. And Iʼll handle these people.” Souta said before he stepped forward and pulled out his sword. His shadows spread out and it covered the entire floor.

After a few moments, a group of guards appeared in Soutaʼs vision. At the same time, the shadows on the floor burst out and bound the guards with high speed.

The guards didnʼt expect this at all. They thought that the prisoners were inside their cells.

”Is that it? The tamer really asked these weak people to silence me and the guild master.” Souta muttered as he slowly approached the guards. He was doubtful if these people were really in cahoots with the tamer.

He looked at them from top to bottom before he asked, ”Who asked you to come here? If you answered my question truthfully then Iʼll let you live. If not Iʼll kill you painfully.”

The cold expression of Souta scared the shit out of the guards. They began to tremble and sweat heavily. They said everything they know to Souta.

...

Souta fixed his clothes and looked down at the lifeless body of the guards with a cold expression. He was right. These people were here to kill him and the guild master.

”They thought that Iʼm going to spare them. If Iʼm Bryan, I will spare them but Iʼm not him.” He muttered and he looked back. He saw the guild master looking at him.

”Youʼre quite merciless.” The guild master said.

”Yeah, I agree with that.” Souta nodded and he asked, ”Do you prefer the other way?”

”Nope, who knows how many people they killed?” The guild master said as he shook his head. He wasnʼt going to spare those people too.

The guild master was an adventurer so he must have killed a bunch of people before. The work of an adventurer revolved around killing. The bandits and monsters were the usual targets of the adventurers.

Souta smiled and he looked behind the guild master. He saw the carcass of the two dark vine eaters.

It seems that the guild master already killed the two dark vine eaters. As expected of a branch guild master, he could effortlessly kill someone at this level.

”Letʼs go towards the duke mansion. The monster is inside there.” Souta said to the guild master.

The guild master nodded his head. Both of them went outside of the prison and the chaos in the dukedom.

Countless dark vine eaters were rampaging around the whole land. It feels like this was a monster tide. But Souta and the guild master knew that the tamer was the caused of this chaos.

Souta glanced at the guild master and said, ”Wait for me here. Iʼll leave Yuko here with you.”

The guild master looked at the red fur bear before he nodded his head to Souta. He actually wanted to ask what Soutaʼs going to do but he held himself back.

[Shadow Ball]!

Souta opened his palm and a black ball of shadows formed on top of his palm. He then vanished leaving the ball of shadows with them.

...

Souta appeared in the middle of the city. He was on top of a small house. Earlier when he promoted his class, Souta casted the [Shadow Ball] spell and the ball went outside of the prison. He controlled the ball of shadow to go here in this place.

He looked around and ignored those monsters that were causing destruction.

”Thatʼs old man Jaredʼs house if Iʼm not wrong.” Souta muttered as he looked at the small house in front of him.

Before he separated with old man Jared, Souta asked the old man Jaredʼs house so that they could contact him after he finished his quest.

Thud!

Souta jumped down and landed in front of the house. He raised his hand and opened the door.

”Old man! Iʼm here, Souta!” Souta shouted so that the old man would know that he arrived. He still didnʼt even know if old man Jared was still here in his house as thereʼs a possibility that old man Jared would evacuate because of the chaos in the whole dukedom.

After a few seconds, Souta didnʼt heard old man Jaredʼs reply. He didnʼt have a choice but to stepped inside the house.

Inside the house, Souta found old man Jared lying on the ground. It seems that he loses his consciousness because of the dense best feram in the atmosphere. His frail body couldnʼt take the berserk power of the best feram.

Souta squatted down and placed his palm on top of old man Jaredʼs forehead.

”Wake up...” He muttered as he poured his mana inside the old man Jaredʼs body to protect him from best feram.

”Itʼs harder than I thought...” Souta muttered as he felt that his mana was dispersing because of the best feram.

He took a blue potion in his pocket and drunk it without hesitation. He then poured a huge amount of mana to counter squeeze out all the best feram inside old man Jaredʼs body.

A huge amount of mana was needed to counter small amount of best feram. This place was quite far from the dukeʼs mansion so the best feram here wasnʼt as dense as in the mansion.

Souta could still counter it with his level of mana control.

After a few moments, old man Jared slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Soutaʼs face.

”Youʼre quite lucky old man. You would die if not for me.” Souta grinned and said to old man Jared.

Old man Jared pushed himself in a seated position and asked, ”What happened to me?”

”You lose your consciousness after the best feram swallowed the whole dukedom. Your body couldnʼt take it and you would die if you let yourself expose to best feram.” Souta paused for a moment before he added, ”One hour. If you let yourself frail body expose to best feram you would die within one hour.”

”Wha-” Old man Jared was surprised when he heard Souta mentioned that he was going to die.
