The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 486 - Clautus

In the secret hideout of the Red Witch...

A seductive woman with long silky hair was sitting on a throne-like chair with her legs crossed in front of her. She was the leader of the Red Witch Organization, Amanda Brune.

”You are saying that the four Ruin Realms have died?!” She asked in a cold tone.

”Yes, My Mistress.” One of her subordinates said in a respectful tone.

”Even though Remina is a Disaster Realm, she is already injured to the point that she couldnʼt even fight a Ruin Realm. Hmm... Maybe, someone helped her or else she would have died for sure.” Amanda said while rubbing her beautiful soft chin.

”My Mistress. The Nine Lives is asking us to start our preparation for the summoning scroll.” Another subordinate entered the room and said.

”Tell them that I will start the ritual. Also, donʼt forget to tell them to hunt down Remina and her group. They are the ones who know that we have the scroll. We couldnʼt let the other organizations know about it.” Amanda said.

”Yes, My Mistress.”

...

ʼTook a deep breath... Just follow the rhythm of energy pulsing in your veins.ʼ

Souta was sitting in the center of his room with a monster orb in each of his palms. His eyes were closed as he followed Sayaʼs instruction.

The two monster orbs in his palms were from a fifth evolution monster. The energy stored within was enormous and if he directly guided it inside his body his monster orb would explode.

He heard system prompts saying that his energy had increased.

[Energy has increased by 5!]

[Energy has increased by 5!]

[Energy has increased by 5!]

His speed of absorbing the energy has increased thanks to Sayaʼs help. He didnʼt even know that the technique that she was teaching him had a function like this. It seems that the [Archetype: Vajra Extremety] was better than he imagined.

Now that he mentioned it, there was an Archetype technique in the legacy that he received. The legacy that he got only had a few techniques compared to other legacy but all the techniques in his legacy were powerful.

Souta opened his eyes after a while. He checked his body and nodded with a satisfied expression. The improvement this time was greater compared to the past few days.

ʼYou are close to learning my technique.ʼ Saya said to him.

”Really?” Souta raised his eyebrows.

ʼYes, just a little bit more and you will be able to use it.ʼ

He was looking forward to that future. It took him a lot of time and he was close to learning it. He guessed that he would be able to apply it in battle next time.

If he didnʼt have Sayaʼs inner consciousness then who knows how long it would take him before he learned this kind of technique.

Knock!

A knock sounded on his door and it was followed by Isabellaʼs voice.

”Souta, Torkez is here. He said that he wanted to talk to you.”

”Okay, tell him that Iʼm coming,”

Souta said before he stood up. He placed the two monster orbs inside the drawer on the corner of his room. Then, he waved his hand as he dispersed the field that he created around him.

...

”Hmm...”

Souta rubbed his chin as he listened to Torkezʼs report. He took a sip of his coffee and glanced at the system.

[Quest Triggered!]

[Reminaʼs Revenge]: Remina was betrayed by one of her trusted aides. She almost died because of that person and now she wanted to get her revenge. Help her in her revenge.

Rewards: 10 skill points, 15 free attribute points, and 25,000 exp.

ʼThis is a good quest.ʼ

The rewards were high and this was what he needed right now. He needed skill points and free attribute points to but the legacy in the system. He wouldnʼt decline a quest in his situation so...

”You have my permission. You can help that woman named Remina but donʼt underestimate the people of this world.” Souta said in a serious tone.

The quest reward was high so it means that the danger it possessed was high too. It probably involved a bunch of B-rank experts or maybe an A-rank. Well, he was already sure that the leaders of the so called Red Witch and Nine Lives would make a move based on the rewards of the quest.

According to Torkezʼs report, Extermination Realm was equivalent to an A-rank powerhouse.

Ordinary A-rank wouldnʼt be Torkez match so he would be safe but itʼs better to be cautious than regret it later.

”Okay, you can go now. You can talk about it to Alice. Also, Iʼll call Yenxa here with me so bring Isabella with you.” Souta then turned his head and said in a loud voice, ”Isabella, you can go with Torkez if you want to go outside.”

”Oh, really?!” Isabellaʼs voice sounded from the other side of the room.

”Yeah, yeah. I know that you want to explore this city so you can follow him.” Souta sighed inwardly.

...

On the next day, Torkez appeared before Remina. He said that he could help her with his strength in exchange he just wanted to her force later but then he realized that Reminaʼs forces were really small.

The Clautus Group only had twenty two members including the one who betrayed her. Also, most members were Ruin Realms as Remina was the only one at Disaster Realm. It was quite pitiful as their forces were too weak for Torkez.

Torkez sighed as he wondered if this force will be enough to gather information across the whole country.

”Err... Iʼm sorry about it.” Remina said with an awkward smile on her face.

”Donʼt worry about it.” Torkez shook his head and he changed the topic. ”So do you know whereʼs the hideout of the Red Witch and Nine Lives? Also, can you elaborate to me the forces of those two organizations?”

”Okay.” Remina nodded and she told him the details of the Red Witch Group and Nine Lives Group.

According to the information that she had gathered, the Red Witch had more than ten thousand members and the same could be said to Nine Lives. The leaders of the two organizations were powerful people at Extermination Realm. There were known twenty five meeting places of the two organizations across the city but their actual base of operations still remained a mystery until now.

Most of the information that she had came from the broker that she knew.

Knowing their meeting place was enough for Torkez. He wouldnʼt have to do this if the one that he brought before didnʼt die. Unfortunately, that Ruin Realm person died from blood loss before he could ask some questions.

”Okay, tell me your plan,” Torkez said while looking at the people behind Remina. These people were the members of the Clautus. Theyʼve gathered here to plan on how they will achieve their revenge.

Remina nodded as she passed a map of the city to him. She then explained that the red circles on the map were the meeting places of the two organizations. They needed to be careful in approaching it as the twenty thousand members of Nine Lives and Red Witch was Ruin Realm and their actual members were much more.

All the residents near the red circles were members of the two organizations. Their power level didnʼt reach Ruin Realm so they only became a lookout for their meeting places.

Reminaʼs plan was simple. She will attack the three meeting places in the eastern part of the city. They will capture some of the Ruin Realms of the two organizations and interrogate them. They wanted to know whereʼs the man who betrayed them.

”Okay, I get it. We will attack tonight, right?” Torkez nodded and asked.

”Yeah. We donʼt have much time. We also wanted to know the purpose of that scroll the two organizations became restless after they got ahold of that.” Remina said with a grim expression.

”Do you know whatʼs written on the scroll?” Torkez asked with a curious expression.

”I donʼt know but itʼs some sort of magic circle. Itʼs too complicated for me who didnʼt even study spells so I donʼt know what its use.” Remina felt sorry that she didnʼt have much information to share with Torkez.

Suddenly, one of her subordinates joined the conversation of the two.

”Actually, I know the drawing on the scroll.” A young woman said with slight hesitation.

Remina was surprised when she heard her subordinateʼs words. ”You, you know it?”

”No, I donʼt know it. I just remember the magic circle so I can draw it for you.”

The young woman stood up and went to the drawer. She took out a piece of paper and a pencil.

”I forgot some part but the magic circle looked like this one.”

She said as she passed the scribble on Torkez.

Torkez simply looked at the scribble on the paper.. He didnʼt know if he should believe this young woman or not.
