The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 525: Training

Souta, Yenxa, Amanda, and Eztein were inside a room. The room was huge and it was protected by several layers of barriers. It was to prevent anyone from eavesdropping and carelessly entering the room without their permission.

Souta told Eztein that they were going to train. He told him everything that he needed to know about the group. Since he had the parasitic essence eater in his body, Souta didnʼt need to worry about betrayal.

After that, the group entered Sayaʼs inner consciousness. Souta didnʼt tell a thing to Gragas as he wasnʼt part of the group. He wouldnʼt tell him everything unless he had a parasitic essence eater in his body.

”So this woman who tortured me is part of the Witch Clan? She is the reason why youʼre trying to find everything related to that clan.” Eztein said as he looked at Amanda from the corner of his eyes. He still couldnʼt forget the pain he experienced from this womanʼs hands.

”Yeah, so what are you going to do?” Amanda glared at Eztein.

”You! You canʼt defeat me, witch! You must be some bastard daughter of a witch so they decided to abandon you!” Eztein replied to Amanda in a loud voice.

”Stop arguing, we are here to train. We must improve our battle prowess as fast as possible.” Souta looked at the two. Then, he threw an object at Amanda. ”Here, catch it.”

Amanda caught the object with her hand and closely looked at it. ”Isnʼt this the one from the auction house?” She asked as she glanced at Souta with a confused expression.

”Yes, youʼre the one that took that fruit so take it and eat it. Improve your combat prowess with that fruit.” Souta said to her. He didnʼt care about the High Phaseless Fruit as he already had a few of this fruit in the Guardian Fortress.

Also, the High Phaseless Fruit was only effective once. If Amanda ate this fruit and she ate another High Phaseless Fruit then it would only increase her mana a little bit.

Still, the High Phaseless Fruit was too rare and precious. It could give light and dark affinity to any person that ate it. Thereʼs a chance that a person would gain an innate body too after eating this fruit. This was the reason why a lot of people coveted this precious mana fruit.

”Are you giving the High Phaseless Fruit to her?! Isnʼt that too important?” Eztein opened his eyes widely as he looked at the fruit in Amandaʼs hand.

”It has no value if we donʼt eat it,” Souta shrugged his shoulder and turned to Amanda. ”Eat it. Itʼs yours. Just remember that we will go to the Witch Clan after this so we have to prepare for all kinds of trouble.”

”I-I understand.”

Amanda nodded her head and she stared at the apple-shaped fruit in her hand. The color of the fruit would turn black and in the next moment, it would turn white. This was the characteristic of the High Phaseless Fruit. Light and darkness attribute.

”Good.” Souta smiled while looking at her. The first time she joined the group, she was silent all the time. But now, she must be pretty comfortable with the group. Itʼs a good thing for her.

Suddenly, he noticed a figure beside him. He looked over and saw that it was Yenxa.

”What is it, Yenxa?” He raised his eyebrows and asked.

”Um... Er...” Yenxa was hesitating if she should say whatʼs in her mind or not.

”Tell me, if you have any problem. I will listen to it.” Souta said. Yenxa rarely talks so he was a little bit surprised at this situation.

”Please forgive me for my rude behavior, My Lord! Iʼm wondering if you could teach me your skills!” Yenxa kneeled in front of him and said using goblin language.

”Skills? What skills?”

”The ability to control gravity...” She said in a low voice.

”Hmm...” Souta rubbed his chin and observed her for a while. Yenxa was smarter than most intelligent second evolution monsters. She was even smarter than Yuko who always acted like a spoiled child in front of him.

She must have realized that she possessed a powerful ability to take creatures that were stronger than her. But her ability needed time to take effect so wanted to learn his [Gravitational Ball] spell, an all-rounder spell that could be used in various ways.

It will greatly help her in delaying her opponents.

Hmm...

Souta had [Pet Bestowing] skill but he couldnʼt use it to impart spell into her body. He could only use it for combat arts and a few of his traits.

He had tested it before. He found that this [Pet Bestowing] worked differently than what it was in the game. He couldnʼt bestow exclusive traits like [Blood Field]. Only normal traits like [Extraordinary Body] or [Greater Energy Resistance] would work.

Bestowing spell would work. He tried it once to Yuko. Yuko learned the knowledge about his [Light Heal] spell but the problem was that it wasnʼt imprinted in her inner consciousness so she couldnʼt use it perfectly like him. Although Yuko knew the structures of [Light Heal] spell, she couldnʼt use it because she didnʼt have any idea about the magic circle and its uses. She could use this spell if she had the [Light Heal] spell was imprinted in her inner consciousness.

Thatʼs why when he was using [Pet Bestowing], he mostly imparted his combat arts to them.

”Do you really want to learn it?” Souta asked.

”Yes, my lord! I want to get stronger!” Yenxa replied to him with a serious expression. She didnʼt even hesitate to answer him.

”Fine. Iʼll teach you the basics of spell casting.” Souta said as he knew that he couldnʼt directly teach the [Gravitational Ball] spell to her. This spell was tier 2 so it would be too complicated for her.

First, she needed to know the structures of the magic circle and how to build it using energy.

He would teach her step by step. He was lucky that he enrolled in the Ladros Institute or else he wouldnʼt know the basics of spell casting. The system simply provided a magic circle inside his inner consciousness.

The group trained nonstop inside Sayaʼs inner consciousness. Originally, they planned to train for a week but since Yenxa wanted to learn spell casting, Souta had extended their training for another week. It means that the time they spent inside Sayaʼs inner consciousness was ten weeks.

Boom! Boom!

Two figures collided several times in the mid-air causing powerful shockwaves. The sound of their collision was horrifying and the vibration in the air shook the entire place.

Bang! Bang!

ʼThose two are really strong... Souta is a very unusual monster and Eztein had grown stronger in the past few weeks.ʼ Amanda said inwardly as she observed the battle between Souta and Eztein. She was a hundred meters away from them. It would be dangerous if she was close in the fight between Annihilation Realm and a third-stage monster.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Eztein arrived in front of Souta and he lifted his left foot. His foot was like a hook as it tore the air towards Souta. Souta raised his right hand to block the kick. His eyes never left Ezteinʼs body.

Bang!

A loud sound exploded when the kick landed on Soutaʼs hand. It was so powerful as it contained a huge amount of energy. It even managed to crack his bones and destroy the best feram he used to strengthen his whole arm.

But Souta ignore it, in just a second his arm was completely healed and black energy covered both of his hands. He pulled back his left hand and tightly clenched his fist as a large concentration of best feram swirled around it.

[Transforming Shadow Barrage]!!

Eztein grinned and he used his own combat arts to fight Souta in a close-range battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Souta was fighting Eztein, a strong S-rank powerhouse, without the help of equipmentʼs added stats and it was too difficult. The difference in strength put him in a tight spot against Eztein.

If he didnʼt have his equipment, he couldnʼt hope to defeat much kill Eztein. The fight would only result in a draw. At the very least, his ordinary attack could now pierce the protective field of an S-rank, all thanks to his Archetype.

If he wore his equipment, he could capture Eztein alive just like before when they fought in the hidden base.

The difference in equipment was huge. Eztein only had a piece of orange grade halberd while he had a bunch of red grades, one dark grade, and a pair of universal grades. The difference was laughable.

He could destroy S-rank with his skill set and equipment set. He would be able to fight two S-rank experts with this.

”Letʼs rest for a while,” Souta said as his aura disappeared.

Eztein glanced at Souta and said, ”I didnʼt think that you would learn [Element Drive] in just a short amount of time.”

”Yeah, but I still need to familiarize myself with this. I could barely control it if I activate it on top of my other combat arts.” Souta said with a sigh.

ʼYou will master it in no time. Donʼt worry you have me here. You will be able to use it in combat soon.ʼ Sayaʼs voice sounded in his mind.
