The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 315 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Name

Randolf left so Souta didnʼt have to worry about Randolf attacking him. He could rest assured that he wonʼt get attack from behind.

Randolf must have left to take his comrades out of his of this chaotic city. He was pretty sure that Randolf wouldnʼt leave his comrades in this city.

Well, thatʼs if Randolf was saying the truth about him being a homunculus.

ʼWhat should we do now?ʼ Saya asked him.

Souta stood up and patted his clothes before he replied, ”Weʼre going down. This land would crumble at any second.”

Now that the crystal was gone. This land loses its property to float in the air. It will collapse and fell to the ground. Itʼs not good to stay in this place as the seals that were binding the Underground King were going down the moment this floating land collapsed.

Bang!

The ground shook heavily and huge cracks appeared on the floating land. What Souta said before was right. This floating land was going to fall.

After a few moments, the land started to collapse. The edge of the land was crumbling before it fell down towards the surface.

Souta was on top of one of the falling rocks. He had a clear view of the Underground King from this position. He could see the cracks on the chains and estimated that it will only last for another two minutes.

Falling on the surface means getting close to the monster lord. The atmosphere changed as he continued to descend. The best feram was so thick in this area to the point that it made Souta feel helpless.

”Damn! This guy is like a god.” Souta muttered as he observed the seven hundred feet tall humanoid furry creature.

ʼYeah, your god. A monster lord is equivalent to a god for monsters. Mostly, the monster lords are stronger than gods. Newbie god and a newbie monster lord which do you think possessed more power?ʼ Saya said.

”Of course, the monster lord,” Souta answered without hesitation.

Humans and demis will have to evolve if they want to become a god but they insist that was not an evolution. Evolution is what makes a monster so if they evolved, then doesnʼt that mean that theyʼre a monster too?

They called the process of changing oneʼs body and transforming it to break the shackles of mortalʼs limit was Deification or Divinization.

ʼCorrect. The monster lordʼs physical strength and ability were all above god. Thatʼs why the gods fear them since ancient times. If a monster lord was to go out of control the gods will bond together to subdue that monster lord.ʼ Saya said.

”There is an exception to every rule. Some people could already fight a monster lord the moment they become a god.” Souta said and he recalled the names of those gods that could fight a monster lord when they just became a god.

Some of the gods in the three great countries, Mount Olympus, Asgard, Heavenly Palace, Takamagahara, etc...

Also, the Seven Deadly Sins, Ten Commandments, and the Twelve Zodiacs.

Their powers were above ordinary gods and they were like God of the gods.

Randolf was just like that too. If Randold became a god just like in the game, then his power would skyrocket while defeating powerful opponents on his way until he stood at the peak.

ʼWatch out!ʼ Saya warned him.

Boom!

Souta quickly jumped away and went to the other falling rocks. A wave of best feram just burst out and destroyed his previous position.

He needed to use it right now. The blank skill card that he got from killing the seven-circle officers that have blessings. This blank skill card let him randomly copy any characterʼs skill.

What a great card but the process to obtain this was too hard for him. Killing a seven-circle officer was extreme. He wouldnʼt be able to do it without Randolfʼs help and if the officers didnʼt fight Bargan before.

He was just lucky. Yeah, thatʼs right. He was lucky. He wouldnʼt be able to do it again.

ʼWhat are you doing, Souta?ʼ Saya asked him.

”Nothing,” Souta replied before he focused his attention on the Underground King.

*Ding!*

[Do you want to use the blank skill card? Yes/No?]

Yes.

[Please select a target!]

He waited for a few seconds until a notification pop up in his vision.

*Ding!*

[Youʼve successfully copied a skill of the Underground King!]

[Burrow]: Increased burrowing speed by 100%. Could easily change the formation of the soil.

[Do you want to use 2 skill points to learn this skill? Yes/No?]

The Underground King has hundreds of powerful skills but to think that he will get this one.

Not a great skill but it will become useful for him in the future. But itʼs not the skill that he was looking for.

Nevertheless, Souta used 2 skill points to learn this skill. He only had 6 skill points left to him and he had one blank skill card left.

*Ding!*

[Do you want to use the blank skill card? Yes/No?]

Yes.

[Please select a target!]

Souta chooses the Underground King as his target once again. He wanted to get some useful skills that will boost his strength. If possible he wanted the most powerful skill of the Underground King.

*Ding!*

[Youʼve successfully copied a skill of the Underground King!]

[Monsterʼs Force]: The strength of the king from ancient times. +100 strength, +80 agility and dexterity, and +50 vitality.

[Do you want to use 2 skill points to learn this skill? Yes/No?]

This was not what Souta want but this skill was pretty good in its own way. This will do for now. This was a trait of a monster that they will receive once they evolved to their third evolution.

Yes.

Souta replied as he used 2 skill points to learn this skill. It was good as he felt a pleasant feeling coursing through his body strengthening his muscles and fibers.

After that, Souta quickly jumped as he looked at the state of the Ladro Institute. The Institute was gone and it seems that the students already left after the Underground King appeared.

The entire place was deserted. No forces of the city and seven deadly sins could be seen around. The deterrent force of a monster lord was really high. It even scared the forces of the seven deadly sins.

ʼHmm...?ʼ

”Whatʼs wrong Saya? Have you notice something?” Souta asked as he landed on the ground. He could see corpses in every direction.

ʼMnn... A person is standing in front of the Underground King.ʼ Saya said to him.

Souta gulped as he turned his head to looked over. If Saya was right then there were only a few people that could stand in front of the Underground King without being affected by the best feram.

The gods.

They were the only ones who could stand in front of the Underground King.

He narrowed his eyes as he saw a silhouette of a person. He couldnʼt clearly see the personʼs appearance but it seems to be a male based on the figure.

ʼJust who the hell is that man?ʼ

He thought while looking at the figure of a man. It seems that he had to observe whatʼs happening in this place.

ʼItʼs too dangerous, Souta.ʼ Saya warned him.

”Donʼt worry they will not care about a weakling like me. With their powers, they must have already known that weʼre but they didnʼt care at all. For them, Iʼm just an insect that they could easily kill.” Souta replied to her.

ʼYouʼre underestimating yourself too much.ʼ Saya said.

”Well, thatʼs the truth. For other B-rank, Iʼm a powerful person but for them, Iʼm just an insect. It doesnʼt matter if Iʼm an A-rank or a Hero-rank.” Souta smiled as he quietly moved away while observing the movements of the unknown man.

He remembered that he still had 3 random reward cards. He had to roll this to know what cards he will get.

*Ding!*

[Youʼve received a 300k exp card!]

[Youʼve received a blank skill card!]

[Youʼve received a skill-level up card!]

Itʼs good except for the 300k exp card. A 300k exp was nothing at his current level. Well, itʼs still better than nothing.

He already had two skill-level up cards so added this one makes it three. He will use it later to level up some of his skill to try to promote himself to Rank 3 Battle Mage.

Another blank skill card. He was quite lucky today. So should he use it to Underground King or that unknown man? He was sure the unknown man was at least a god.

Okay, he decided to use it to that man.

Souta narrowed his eyes as he set the man as his target and used the blank skill card.

*Ding!*

[Youʼve successfully copied a skill of the Zodiac ʼLeoʼ!]

[Sword Mastery]: Acc.u.mulation of oneʼs sword strength. The understanding of the way of the sword.

Souta didnʼt care about the skill that he got. He was simply stunned by the name of that person in his system.

Zodiac Leo. Isnʼt that the leader of the Twelve Zodiacs? Why is that man here in Ladros City?
