The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 475 - 91st Floor To 100th Floor III

”Wait... But how can we talk with her? I donʼt even understand Yenxa at all.” Torkez glanced at Isabella.

”Err... I donʼt know...” Isabella said awkwardly. She didnʼt have any idea how to communicate with Yenxa.

”Then...” Torkez slowly turned his head and glanced at Yuko.

”Um... I think that it wouldnʼt work. Yuko rarely talk to me in the past few months.” Isabella said with a wry smile. She actually wanted to get closer with Yuko but she didnʼt even know what Yuko likes.

”I see...” Torkez sighed while looking at Yenxa. ”Then, we would only know about it when Souta came out of the trial.”

”We could only wait...”

One week had passed quickly and Franklin was the second one who came out of the trial.

”Oho, it seems that Iʼm the second one. Damn! I thought that I lasted longer than others.” Franklin said with a laugh.

”Howʼs the trial?” Torkez asked.

”Itʼs fun,” Franklin said with a wide grin on his face. ”By the way, isnʼt that little girl the little goblin before...?”

”Yeah, thatʼs Yenxa and she evolves into higher species but I donʼt know the specific details. I just know that her toxins are strong that it could even melt my skin.”

”Oh, itʼs pretty interesting. Her power level is just below B-rank yet her toxins could damage you, an A-rank.”

”I was shocked when I found about it. Since we couldnʼt communicate with her, I observe her battle with the monsters in this labyrinth.”

”Then...” Franklin glanced at Torkez and asked, ”What did you discover? Iʼm sure that you didnʼt observe her for nothing.”

”Hmm, let see... From my observation, Yenxaʼs ability is still the same. It just improves and itʼs much more lethal than before. She could exert poison gas from her pores and it will take approximately ten minutes for it to work against B-rank monsters. Thirty minutes if she wanted to take down an A-rank. Fortunately, she didnʼt try it on S-rank in the lower floors as those monsters could kill her easily before the poison worked.” Torkez paused for a moment before he added, ”Aside from poison gas, she could also use liquid poison that could melt any object. You see those spikes of her shoulders...”

”Yeah,”

”Those spikes are similar to her limbs as she could move it just like the tentacles of an octopus. Well, I found one of its purposes. It could splash liquid poison that could severely damage her opponentʼs skin. Also, she could directly inject the poison inside her preyʼs body by piercing it using those spikes.”

”Oho, her ability is so sick...” Franklin laughed. ”She could kill an A-rank with her C-rank power level. The only problem is that the A-rank could kill her before her poison could work.”

”Yeah, itʼs not just poison. She could bite you with those sharp fangs and you would die with her venom. Isabella took samples of her poison and venom yet she didnʼt find a cure for it so right now itʼs dangerous to carelessly approach Yenxa if you didnʼt have high poison resistance.” Torkez said.

”What about our parasites?” Franklin asked.

”Weʼre not sure about it. Isabella said that she isnʼt sure if the parasites in our bodies have resistance to Yenxaʼs ability.” Torkez shook his head.

”I see...” Franklin nodded while looking at Yenxa.

”By the way, have you met Isabella and Yuko on the lower floors?” Torkez asked.

”Yes, they are currently on the 75th floor. They are trying to clear it with their own strength. Haha, to be honest, Iʼm surprised when I saw how that lass, Isabella, has grown in the past two months.”

”Sheʼs close to reaching Lydiaʼs strength. If she kept growing at this rate then she would catch up to the two of us.”

”Itʼs pretty interesting if you put it that way. Itʼs good for me though, I donʼt want to stand at the top as I wouldnʼt be able to enjoy battle if Iʼm the strongest.”

”Hmm... How long do you think it will take for them to clear those trials?” Torkez asked.

”Just one more month and they will come out... I stopped myself after the 96th floor. I could somehow handle the 95th floor as the movement of the monsters are simple but on the 96th floor, it became too hard for me that I almost died. I had so much fun but I guess thatʼs my limit.” Franklin explained to him.

”My limit is 95th floor so can you give me the details of whatʼs on the 96th floor?” Torkez asked.

”96th floor is a huge forest although I canʼt see anything I can still feel it. The monsters there had a form of a six-meter tall monkey. Their power level ranges from B-rank to A-rank and there are three S-rank monsters guarding the passage to the 97th floor. They are very agile and itʼs hard to predict their movement. Some of them would attack you from afar and some would attack in close range. I couldnʼt even land a single hit on those three S-rank monsters. If I didnʼt escape on time I would have died there.”

”Is it really dangerous?”

”You say, the S-rank monster on the 95th floor is nothing compared to the S-rank monster on the 96th floor. Both monsters had the same power level but the monsters on the 96th floor felt like it was an experienced fight while the monsters on the 95th floor were just strong and thatʼs it. They donʼt even know how to properly attack a person. Itʼs like youʼre comparing an ordinary civilian to an experienced soldier.”

The two talked for a while before they went to the lower floors to improve their fighting skills. Itʼs the only thing they could do while waiting for Souta, Alice, and Doranjan.

Time had passed quickly and Doranjan was the third one to come out of the trial of the 91st floor to 100th floor. Franklin and Torkez asked him various questions about the trial. Doranjan simply answered them without hiding anything.

He said that he got to 97th floor. The 97th floor was terrifying and he explained that he felt like he was inside a void. The void which was devoid of anything.

All five senses were disabled. He couldnʼt see anything with his eyes. He couldnʼt hear anything even his own voice and heartbeat. He couldnʼt smell anything. Lastly, his sense of touch was gone. This was the worse for him.

He couldnʼt even feel the ground on his feet. Even if he touched the body of the monster he wouldnʼt feel anything. There was only one reason why he could survive in that place. He could still sense his energy, the best feram, and he used it to escape from the relentless attack of the monsters on the 97th floor.

Even his senses from the parasite were cut. It felt like he didnʼt have any body at all, heʼs just a lump of energy in that place.

He gave up after that and didnʼt try to challenge it. He thought that he needed to improve in all aspects. His control of his best feram was the first that he needed.

It was fruitful. Although he failed the trial, he understood a lot of things.

...

On the 100th floor...

Souta couldnʼt feel anything aside from his best feram. He was overwhelmed yet improve a lot in this amount of time. His [Energy Manipulation] skill had reached level 7. He could properly control his best feram like his own limbs.

He was holding the vajra sword in his right hand yet he didnʼt feel anything. He just know about it because of the energy that was flowing inside the sword.

He was using [Possession], [Soul Blood Mode], and [Monster Orb Release] at the same time. Yet, his opponent could still hold his ground against him.

ʼThis monster...ʼ

He cursed inwardly as he released countless webs in every direction.

On this floor, the last floor, there was only one enemy. The enemy had the same skill set like him. Also, the enemy had the same combat style and it could use monster traits just like him.

The enemy was a copy of him.

It means that the difficulty was adjusted to the power level of the person that took this trial.

A slash shot in front of him that cut his threads and caused a huge cut of his chest. Yet, Souta didnʼt feel anything because all of his senses were blocked except for his energy sense.

”This is too difficult...”

An enormous beam appeared on his side and Souta quickly gathered his webs in front of him while activating the [Armored Scale Formation] at the same time. Then, a bunch of black tentacles rose from the ground to help him block the [Bestrou] of his opponent.

[Doppelganger]!!

Seven shadows shot in every direction to hunt down his opponent. This room was full of webs and it helped him locate the opponent as his best feram was flowing in every string of webs in this room.. It was taxing to his monster orb yet this was the only thing he could do at this moment.
