The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 317 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Clash

Yuko had the blessing of Raeshka so she wasnʼt feeling the power of suppression from the Underground King but Souta wasnʼt exempted from this.

It wasnʼt that she couldnʼt feel the suppression. Itʼs just that she could reject the will of this monster lord as she was under Raeshkaʼs banner.

But Souta...

Souta couldnʼt move his body at all. He was forced to his knees. He couldnʼt decline or reject the Underground King. If the Underground King ordered him to kill himself, Soutaʼs body would move and kill himself.

A monster lordʼs order was absolute.

No stray monster could reject it.

Thatʼs what it means to be a monster lord. They have absolute dominance over lower monsters.

This was the reason why Souta didnʼt want to meet a monster lord. He will have no choice but to grovel on the ground and followed the lord of the monster.

He was just lucky that Raeshka didnʼt use her suppression on him or else he wouldnʼt be able to come back here.

ʼSouta, do you want me to control your body?ʼ Saya asked him.

ʼNo, thereʼs a chance that they will discover your existence if you possessed my body.ʼ Souta replied to her. He didnʼt know what they would do once they learned about Sayaʼs existence.

...

Leo looked at the Underground King with a plain expression.

ʼDid this guy sense the soul arts? No, thatʼs not possible. His entire attention was on the chains so he couldnʼt have sensed the soul arts. Also, he didnʼt even sense when I arrived in front of him.ʼ He thought while looking at the monster lord.

Then, about the others...

ʼI will erase everything around the perimeter so that no one would know about soul arts.ʼ Leo said as his overwhelming energy started to came out of his body.

He raised his right hand and black energy with green linings coated his hand.

[Rotting Earth]!

Black mist seeped out of the ground and it corroded anything around Leo. Everything within three hundred meters around him started to decay.

ʼNo one should covet the soul arts. For safety, I will erase anything.ʼ

...

Souta noticed the wave of energy. The corpses around him started to disintegrate. Even the boulders of rocks were slowly crumbling.

He was shaken. This skill was damaging everyone except for him. This made him realized that Leo was deliberately keeping him alive.

Itʼs too early for him to meet this level of opponents.

ʼSouta, thereʼs no doubt about it.ʼ Sayaʼs voice sounded in his mind. ʼThat man knows about you using the souls to fight.ʼ

Soutaʼs expression turned grave. He didnʼt know any soul arts at all. This was the ability of the universal artifacts that he had.

Then, the ashes moved and turned into a body. After that, the body started to twitched before they stood up.

After the body disintegrated it formed another body and turned into an undead.

Souta could clearly see it using his [Soul Eye]. Different souls came from another realm appeared and entered the body of the undead.

This was the ability of the leader of the Zodiacs, the Zodiac Leo. He was a peak necromancer that could control millions of undead at the same time.

This man is an army of his own.

...

The Underground King turned silent as he glanced at Leo who was leisurely standing in front of him.

”Are you the one who freed me?” A voice came out of his mouth.

Leo couldnʼt understand his words but the intent in the words came to his mind. This was like talking to the undead.

”No, Iʼm not the one who freed you. Iʼm just here to see what kind of creature was sealed here.” Leo replied to the Underground King.

”How many years since Iʼve been sealed? This place greatly changed.” The Underground King said as he looked around. ”Iʼm in a good mood today. Iʼll let you off for not kneeling in front of me so you should leave this place as soon as possible.”

”What an arrogant attitude you have here. If you keep that kind of attitude the three great countries would deem you as a nuisance and they will eliminate you.” Leo said as he opened his hands.

”Me? A nuisance? What three great countries! Iʼm the Underground King! Ruler of the subterranean army!” The Underground King said strongly.

”Sure, let me check if you really have the power to confront the three great countries.” A smile formed on Leoʼs face as his energy burst out of his body and tried to push the Underground King.

Boom!

The Underground King pulled back his giant hand and clenched his fist. A large concentration of best feram coated his fist before he threw it towards Leo.

Leo met his punch with his own punch. Both of their fists collided causing a powerful shockwave in the surrounding.

Boom!

Souta was blown away along with the undead in the surrounding area. He spun in the air before he crashed on the ground leaving a trail of smoke behind.

Before he could regain his balance, another shockwave swept out and he was blown away once again.

The shockwaves alone crushed a few of his bones. He was sure that he would die he if got closer to them.

Ugh!

Souta spat a mouthful of blood before he lifted his head only to find that the two were already fighting.

...

Leo who was fighting the Underground King glanced in Soutaʼs direction. He couldnʼt afford it if Souta was to die because of his battle.

If Souta was to die, then he wouldnʼt be able to know the soul arts. Even if he created an undead using Soutaʼs body, thereʼs no guarantee that Soutaʼs soul will be the one to occupy it.

Thatʼs the problem with necromancy. He wasnʼt sure if Souta will remain Souta if he became undead. Necromancy was just like that. They could take out the souls in the soul realm but they couldnʼt pick which soul will come out.

ʼI need to move the battlefield to another place.ʼ Leo thought as he threw an energy beam at the Underground King.

His thoughts will indirectly save all the people in this place. Him wanting to Souta alive will save everyone from impending doom.

This level of battle will surely wipe this entire city from the map.

Leo flew around while shooting energy beams at the gigantic monster.

Despite being a gigantic monster, the Underground King could move so fast to the point that he avoided all the energy beams.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Leo flew below the Underground King before he opened both of his hands. A huge magic circle formed in front of him.

[Decapitation Twisting Ray]!

A black and white energy shoot upward and it swallowed the whole body of the Underground King. The force was so huge that it covered the entire sky.

The ground shook heavily even though the energy didnʼt touch the ground. And everything around it was blown away by powerful shockwaves.

If one was looking outside the city, they would say that the black and white energy was ten times larger than the whole Ladros City.

In the capital of the Hebrei Kingdom, everyone lifted their and saw a bright light in the direction of Ladros City. The bright light was like a huge pillar that connected the earth and heaven.

After a few moments, a wave of energy swept out and it covered the whole kingdom.

Everyone felt it. This was the first time they saw something like this but the senior officer of the kingdom have a grave expression on their face. They knew it. That level of energy wasnʼt something a mortal could possess. In short, a god-level powerhouse was fighting in that direction and it was inside the territory of their kingdom.

They already received a report that the airship that was coming towards here to the capital was attacked and the same for the Ladros City. The attackers were identified as the Deadly Sins, one of the most dangerous organizations in the world.

But they didnʼt think that a god would appear.

Is it an eight-circle officer?

Everyone thought that it was an eight-circle officer but the truth was much worse than that. A living disaster was in their territory and thereʼs two of them.

One by one all the senior officers received an emergency summons from their king. They needed to talk about the things that were happening in their territory. The scale of this incident was too large for them to ignore it.

The commander of the royal guard was in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the palace. The place was dark and cold at the same time. The mana density in this place was higher than the mana on the surface.

He wouldnʼt attend the meeting above that the king started. He had his own will and the king could understand it. The king couldnʼt force him even though his status was higher than the commander. He was the commander of the royal guard, at the same time he was also a god-level powerhouse that was protecting this kingdom from the threat that mortal couldnʼt handle.

The king could only order his subject but if his subject became a god then he wouldnʼt have the right to give an order to that subject.

A god was always above the mortal even if that mortal was a king or an emperor.

The commander was here in the bas.e.m.e.nt to meet the other god-level powerhouse of the kingdom.
