The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 392 - Escaping

Souta pointed his sword forward and black energy spun around the tip of his sword. He charged it until it reached its limit before he fired it.

[Dark Shooting Ray]!!

A large gigantic beam erupted as it swallowed everything in front of Souta. It then caused a huge explosion several kilometers away from them. The size of the explosion was several times stronger than what occurred in the Blackrock City.

BOOOOMM!!!

It annihilated more than ten thousand soldiers of the Great Astley Empire in an instant. The aftershocks of the explosion blasted everything around it and the ground collapsed like a fragile glass.

Lydia stopped running as she covered Isabella from the aftershocks of the explosion. Her heart was thumping wildly. The power of Soutaʼs spell was several times stronger than before.

It was already at city scale. It could wipe out an entire city on the map using that spell that he just used.

It was truly frightening...

”Continue! Donʼt stop running!”

She came back to her senses when she heard Soutaʼs voice. She shook her head and focused her attention on running.

Souta glanced at them before he resumed firing his spell in every direction.

Several explosions occurred that shook the entire place. Everything within fifty kilometers got disturbed by the battle that was happening in this place. Aside from countless prisons in this world, a lot of monsters were roaming around the world but they started running away.

Why? Well, the aftershocks of the battle felt like the world was going to end.

The [Dark Shooting Ray] was stronger because Souta didnʼt hold back charging it with his mana. Also, the mana density in this world was lower than before so the things here were fragile.

The power of an offensive tier 2 spell in this world was terrifying.

Souta narrowed his eyes as he moved his body side to side while killing every soldier that tried to stop Lydia and Isabella.

”Argh!!”

”Ugh!!”

”No!!”

”Help!!”

The soldiers of the empire screamed as he killed them swiftly. He was killing everyone in just one swing of his sword.

After killing a few hundreds of people using his sword, the blood of his enemies already covered his body. It looks like he bathed in their blood.

...

The group was so far from Yuko who was fighting the warden, generals, and the commanders alone. She was keeping them busy while Souta, Lydia, and Isabella were escaping.

Still, fighting more than twenty B-rank powerhouses was too much for her. They were specialized in different fighting styles so it was really hard.

There were tankers, close-range attackers, long-range attackers, and supports. They filled up what each member lacked. Also, their combination was extraordinary.

Yuko couldnʼt even take out one of them. Her opponentsʼ experience was vast and they honed their fighting style by fighting dragons.

Also, her opponents werenʼt ordinary B-rank. All of them had parasitic essence eater in their body which boosted their physical ability to A-rank.

[Burning Shout II]!!

She jumped away and avoided the attacks but then the sh.i.p.s in the sky fired light beams at her.

Boom!! Boom!!

General Albert opened his mouth and said, ”We should take this monster first. Lydia and the other two wouldnʼt be able to escape this planet. They didnʼt have the transportational gate after all.”

”Yeah, if they planned to steal one then they have to go through the other wardens first.” Warden Mackenzie said.

The Prison World was huge so one warden could handle everything thatʼs happening here. One warden could supervise the whole world so the Great Astley Empire stationed thirteen powerful people as wardens in this world.

The wardens were like kings and emperors of this world. They were the ones who are deciding everything. It wasnʼt exaggerated to say that they were like kings and emperors. Their region was even larger than the whole Condifan Empire in another world.

”If this monster really is like a dragon then it also has the boosted mode. Once it uses it, itʼs going to get harder.” General Asimon said.

”If this one didnʼt have that mode.” General Albert said as he glanced at General Asimon.

General Asimon smiled and replied, ”Then, weʼll be able to kill it without suffering that much casualties.”

They were talking about the [Monster Orb Release]. Since Yuko had dragonʼs energy, they had guessed that she also had the boosted mode or rage mode. It was a powerful and terrific skill but they were prepared.

There were more than twenty B-ranks so they could handle Yuko. Itʼs like a raid party of adventurers in Imperium hunting down a third evolution monster that could bring danger to the city.

Yuko felt overwhelmed. This group of people that she was fighting wasnʼt that strong. She was sure that she could defeat them in a one-on-one battle but somehow she couldnʼt even land a direct and fatal hit at one of them.

She was about to attack the nearest person to her when beams of light flew at her and landed on her body.

Boom!

...

Lydia and Isabella managed to break through the army. Isabella closed her eyes. The things that were happening around her were something she hadnʼt experience before. It was horrible and frightening as thousands of people were dying around her.

”This is it.”

The two heard Soutaʼs words. Lydia turned to look at them and asked, ”What are you going to do?”

”Just escape from this place. Youʼre from the Great Astley Empire, right? So you have some idea about this world. Just go and Iʼll follow you soon.” Souta replied while wiping the sweat on his forehead. He was already breathing heavily and consumed a lot of his energy.

He then gave her his spare transmission talisman. He could contact her using this but Lydia didnʼt know its function so he explained it to her first.

”Okay, weʼll wait for you.” Lydia nodded with a serious expression before she turned around and left with Isabella.

Souta glanced at their backs before he looked at his system.

Health: 2,197/2,420

Stamina: 572/995

Mana: 2,276/3,802

Just by fighting these countless soldiers, he already consumed more than a thousand of his mana.

Well, they were safe for now so...

Souta charged at the enemies in front of him. He used everything that he had got to eliminate his enemies as many as he could. It was a very exhausting battle.

He didnʼt even know if he would run out of stamina and mana first before he could kill everyone here. He opened his [Harvester of the Soul] once again and plundered all the souls of the people that died.

Reaching 1,000 points in agility greatly increased his speed. It was also the effect of his agility attribute that his speed rose exponentially.

Then, Souta heard a familiar sound in his mind. He was waiting for it. The system prompt.

*Ding!*

[Quest 2 Completed!]

[Youʼve received 20,000 exp, 15 free attribute points, 8 skill points!]

*Ding!*

[Quest 3 Unlocked!]

[Great Astley Empire] Quest 3: The Prison World is one of the worlds under the Great Astley Empire. Freed the prisoners to create chaos in this world.

Rewards: 10,000 exp, 5 free attribute points, and 3 skill points

The third quest wasnʼt that hard. Also, its reward was less than the first two quests. Well, itʼs not that bad. As long as he had benefits to it then he was fine with it.

Forget about it. He should finish this as soon as possible. No, he should leave this place since Lydia and Isabella werenʼt here anymore and proceed to finish the third quest.

[Air Walk]!

Souta jumped in the mid-air as he looked towards the direction where Lydia and Isabella went. When he confirmed that they were really not here, he landed on the ground.

The soldiers around kept rushing but Souta simply avoided them by jumping in the mid-air while slashing his sword at them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta flew away in a different direction where Lydia and Isabella went. Ten black balls appeared behind him as he shot towards the sky.

Since the ones who were trying to stop him were just ordinary soldiers, they wouldnʼt be able to catch him. None of them had parasitic essence eater so no one could fly.

”Bye-bye...”

He muttered as a smile formed on his face. His acceleration was so fast that he easily reached 3,500 kph in just a second.

Swoosh!

He continued to fly until he found a huge mountain. He shoots down without decreasing his speed and the moment he landed on the ground he quickly used the [Burrow] skill that he got from the Underground King.

This is a perfect place...
