The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 534 - Witch Clan: Start Of Chaos

”Yenxa! Gragas! Eztein! Come here!”

Souta said as he poured some of his energy in his voice.

The three quickly went out of their room after they heard his voice. His tone was serious so they knew that it was a serious matter. Also, they knew that Souta wouldnʼt call them for nothing in the middle of the night.

”Whatʼs the matter, Souta?” Gragas asked while rubbing his eyes. He was sleeping when he heard Soutaʼs voice.

He then stopped as he heard Amandaʼs voice in the room. She sounded like she was in pain.

”This...”

Eztein glanced at the room before he turned his attention at Souta as if he was asking whatʼs going on.

”Come. We will know the answer. Also, one of the elders is inside the room so be careful.” Souta said before he turned around and enter the room.

Yenxa, Eztein, and Gragas followed him. The moment they entered the room they saw Amanda writhing in pain.

”Argh!! It hurts! My head feels like itʼs going to explode!!” Amanda roared as she grabbed her head tightly. She couldnʼt do anything to lessen the pain. The images that popped into her mind were forcefully twisting her memory.

Elder Guan stood up as he glanced at the group. He was about to say something when Souta asked something.

”What happened here? Itʼs midnight and you wouldnʼt visit Amandaʼs room if itʼs not important matters.” Souta stared at Elder Guanʼs eyes. He knew that this elder didnʼt harm Amanda but he still needed to do this to avoid suspicion.

”Youʼre asking me politely, monster. You should watch your word in front of me. If you didnʼt come here with young miss I would have killed you the moment I saw you.” Elder Guan said in a cold tone.

”I donʼt care about your opinion of me. I just wanted to know what happened to Amanda. She suffered like this and donʼt tell me itʼs just a coincidence that you are in her room.” Souta didnʼt back down. Although this elder was a shackled realm expert, he didnʼt care about that. He knew whoʼs the real enemy and he was just testing the waters to see if thereʼs other enemies in this clan.

After all, his special quest was to secure the survival of the Witch Clan. If thereʼs fewer casualties then his rewards would be higher.

”Iʼm telling you that I donʼt know what happened to young miss. Iʼm talking to her when young suddenly became like that. I wouldnʼt harm her. Thatʼs what I promise to her parents.” Elder Guan while glancing at Amanda.

Soon, Amanda had calmed down. She was breathing heavily and her body was drenched in sweat. Her eyes were round as if she was shocked. She just recovered her memories in the past.

”I... Iʼve remembered everything... Uncle Rowan killed my parents...”

She said in a low voice.

”WHAT?!!”

Eztein and Gragas were shocked when they heard her words. Uncle Rowan? Isnʼt that the name of the current Clan Leader? If thatʼs the case then they were in the enemies...

ʼSo thatʼs how it is... But thereʼs still an important detail thatʼs missing.ʼ Souta thought as he glanced at the quest.

The Quest 4 said that Rowan isnʼt in his right mind.

Someone was controlling him.

Since Amanda regained her memories, he could simply ask her.

But...

”Oh, it seems that youʼve recovered your memories, my niece.” A voice sounded behind them.

”Wha-” Eztein, Gragas, Yenxa, and Elder Guan were surprised when they heard a voice. They were about to look over when a figure flashed beside them.

Swoosh!

Souta opened his eyes widely. His energy burst out as he pulled the vajra sword on its sheath and swung it behind him.

Boom!

Half of the room was disintegrated immediately as smoke and dust filled everything in front of him. His reaction was too fast that it caught Eztein, Gragas, Yenxa, and Elder Guan surprised.

”Youʼre quite strong for a mere third evolution monster.”

A voice sounded and the smoke and dust slowly disappeared as the wind blows. Clan Leader Rowan was revealed while grabbing the blade of the vajra sword with his bare hand.

”Although the Witch Clan had declined and is not as strong as the current top organizations. It still a place for a mere monster to mess with.”

Rowan said while looking at Souta with chilly eyes. His hand was filled with a boundless amount of energy and it prevented him from being harmed by Soutaʼs attack. The pale blue light that covered his hand was so dense that it made the atmosphere vibrate.

Tsk!

Souta clicked his tongue. He knew that Rowan was a shackled realm but to possess this much strength was really beyond his expectations. If the Witch Clan was already this powerful then what about the top organizations like Union Peace or Night Watch.

Out of the four top clans that joined the war decades ago, only the Witch Clan was left but they were reduced to the point that they needed to hide just to protect themselves.

”Well, what can I do? Your head is very tempting as it will give me a bunch of points.”

Souta said with a laugh and he poured his best feram on his sword. He pulled it back and thrust it quickly but Rowan reacted faster than him. Rowan used the back of his palm and parried the blade before he delivered a powerful blow on Soutaʼs stomach.

Bam!!

His body bent backward before it flew and crashed on the walls.

Bang!

”Souta!!”

Eztein and Gragas shouted as they raised their hands to cover their heads.

”S-Souta...!”

Amanda was still feeling a bit tired because of the pain that she felt when she regained her memories.

”Clan Leader?! Why are you doing this?” Elder Guan stepped forward and asked while glaring at Rowan. His energy slowly seeped out of his body making the air around him boil.

No matter what, he was still a clan elder, a person at Extinction Realm.

Rowan smiled and shouted, ”Listen! Elder Guan and Young Miss Amanda had committed a treason! They coveted the title of the clan leader and attacked me! They are colluding with the other forces so we will prevent them from leaving this place!!”

”You!! You are setting us up! Young miss is your niece. Do you really want to kill her?” Elder Guan tightly clenched his fist.

”What do you think?” Rowan grinned evilly as he stared at Elder Guanʼs eyes.

Boom!!

A thick and dense best feram swept out in every direction. The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy and the weaker people felt the pressure of the immense energy.

Souta walked out of the smoke while cracking his neck. The wounds in his body were closing at high speed. As long as he didnʼt get one shot by his enemy, it was close to impossible to kill him in his current state.

”Oh, fuck! That really hurts...”

He slowly activated his skills. [Night Overlordʼs Aura], [Agility Boost], [Strength Boost], [Triple Muscle Strengthening], [Catʼs Speed], and [Shadow Cloak] were all used at the same time.

Jet-black energy slowly covered his body like an armor and he used [Armored Scale Formation] trait to make it stronger.

”Eztein, Gragas, Yenxa, do your best to survive! Especially you Gragas, you donʼt have a parasite so your healing speed is several times slower than us.”

Souta said with a faint smile on his face as he focused his attention on Clan Leader Rowan.

Rowan turned to Souta and said, ”Oh, so you dare to fight me with your meager abilities.”

Souta slowly opened his mouth and said, ”Elder Guan, right? Iʼll leave Amanda in your care.”

Elder Guan narrowed his eyes. He stared at Soutaʼs back and his energy swept out in every direction. He sensed that most of the clan members were gathering outside, completely surrounded them.

”Witches under my jurisdiction! I hope you can put your trust in me this time! I donʼt have a time to explain but Clan Leader is the one that attacked us first! Clan Leader Rowan just wanted to eliminate young miss to prevent her from snatching his throne!”

He shouted as he poured his mana in his voice so that everyone could hear him. Then, he grabbed Amanda and burst through the ceiling.

As soon as Elder Guan left with Amanda, Souta dashed towards Rowan. He poured a huge amount of best feram in the blade and slashed it horizontally.

[Crimson Moon]!

”Have a death wish, right? Then, Iʼll gladly grant it.” Rowan said in a cold tone before he shot a powerful punch.

Boom!

Both of their attacks collided and the whole building quickly exploded.

...

Elder Guan looked down before he turned his attention to the people around him. They were all Rowanʼs subordinates but his attention was on the old man behind.

”Even you! Elder Hanmi!”

He gritted his teeth and said.

If Elder Hanmi sided with Rowan then their situation would become worse. He could stop Elder Hanmi but who would stop Clan Elder Rowan. He knew that the monster and the other three people could only buy a few minutes.

”Young miss, prepare yourself.. This is going to be a bit difficult.”
