The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 553: Witch Clan: Struggle III

Rowanʼs reflexes were on a different level. The body of a shackled realm expert couldnʼt be underestimated. It was on clearly a higher level than a third evolution monster and a person at solidifying realm.

Soutaʼs sword slash has enough power to damage the tough body of a shackled realm. He saw it clearly and he tried to avoid it with his maximum speed which was faster than his sound attacks. Even though he was fast, he realized that the sword slash contained an energy that pulled him towards it.

ʼItʼs pulling me?! Itʼs impossible...ʼ

In the end, he couldnʼt avoid the violent energy torrent from the sword slash. It ripped his left shoulder apart and his entire left arm flew in the air. It wasnʼt that awful compared to getting his head cut into two. At the very least, he avoided death.

”It missed...” Doranjan muttered when he saw that Souta failed to kill Rowan.

Yuko fell down on the ground. The huge gaping hole on her chest was regenerating as she lifted her head and looked at the enemy.

The red dragon didnʼt know what was happening as he was busy intercepting all the sound waves. But since the golden bell continued to release strong sound waves it means that Rowan was still alive.

”Iʼm reaching my limit here... The central continent is truly dangerous.”

The dragon didnʼt have a parasite so he couldnʼt recover from his injuries like Souta, Yuko, Doranjan, and Alice. Compared to the four of them, he was the easiest to kill.

Eilish turned to Torkez and asked, ”Can you hold all of these witches for a few seconds? Iʼm going to help them for a while.”

”Hold them. I donʼt think I can hold them for too long. A few seconds would be enough for them to kill me so make sure to make it fast.” Torkez said in a grave tone.

Eilish was the focal point of this group and without her, they wouldnʼt be able to fight a group of witches that had several S-rank and more than thirty A-rank. Luckily, the witches were insane as they were fighting everyone in front of them including their fellow witches. If not for that, a single second would be enough for more than five S-rank to kill him.

”Twenty seconds and it will be done,” Eilish said as she placed her hand on her stomach. The injuries that she received from fighting Rowan before were getting worse. She really envy these people that had strange yet powerful regeneration ability.

The two elders who were preventing more than thirty Annihilation Realm and a number of Extermination Realm witches got their hands full.

”Elder Guan. Assists them so leave our fellow clansmen to me. I canʼt promise you that no one will die but Iʼll try to minimize the casualties with everything I have.” Elder Hanmi said to Elder Guan.

”Even so... Thirty Annihilation Realm masters are too much for you.” Elder Guan hesitated. He never doubted the abilities of numbers. There were some cases in the war that an Extinction Realm master died in the hands of a combined force of Annihilation Realm masters.

”If no one stopped the Clan Leader then most of our fellow clansmen would die. Do you want that to happen?” Elder Hanmi said in a fierce tone.

”I understand.” Elder Guan nodded.

...

”Fuck!!”

Souta roared as the sword slash continued to move forward directly slicing every object in its path. He felt weak as he fell on his knees. The tiredness and exhaustion assaulted his body. Even his wounds had stopped regenerating.

The queen parasite had reached its limit and from now on he wouldnʼt be able to use its regeneration ability until it recovered its strength.

”Youʼre done.” Rowan smiled as he tightened his other hand.

”Not yet... Did you forget about her?” Souta chuckled as he looked at Rowan in the eyes.

The temperature dropped suddenly and towering ice rose from the ground. The ice was covered in darkness making it look terrifying.

Hmm...?

Rowan looked down before he jumped away to avoid the walk of ice.

[Freezing Darkness]!!

Alice sighed as she managed to separate Souta from Rowan. The wall of ice that she created had a height of five hundred meters, a length of fifteen kilometers, and a thickness of fifty meters.

”Oh, right? This demon is a problem too.” Rowan muttered as he turned his eyes on the girl on top of the wall of ice.

Alice took a deep breath. She had realized her demon form and broken the limit. It means that she was in her strongest form. This was her full power, the power of the daughter of the Great Demon Emperor Lucifer.

ʼI donʼt want to break the limit as my father would know my position but I donʼt have a choice now.ʼ She said inwardly before she pointed her spear at Rowan.

[Secret Technique: Heavenly Demon Dual Element]!

The enormous wall of ice was shattered in an instant and it condensed hundreds of powerful concentrations of energy. It looks like a whirlpool with a blue and black color fusing into one.

With a wave of her spear, the whirlpool shoot countless rays of energy at Rowan.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

”Ugh!”

Rowan spat a mouthful of blood as he placed his right hand on his left shoulder. The wound was twitching and it felt extremely painful because of all the ice and dark energy in the atmosphere. Even the lingering best feram made his wounds hurt.

Bang!

Just like that, he forgot to avoid the rays of energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

”Damn!”

Rowan grumbled as he launched himself towards Alice. Alice didnʼt back down as she collided with Rowan several times before she was blown up in the sky.

Boom!

ʼI still have energy left in my orb. The [Nebula Heart] and parasite are completely drained because of my last attack. I just have one last attack so I donʼt have a choice now...ʼ Souta looked up as he activated his equipment skill.

[Harvester of the Soul]!

All the souls around him were sucked inside his earring and Souta quickly used the [Soul Blood Mode]. The souls in his earring started decreasing as they turned into fuels that boosted his body.

ʼI canʼt move my body so I can only try this...ʼ

Souta opened his right palm and several small spheres of energy swirled around his hand. He gritted his teeth as he poured all of the remaining energy in his orb towards his palm.

Dozens of tiny condensed [Bestrou] fluctuated and it gives off a very oppressive aura. This time he will try different than normal [Bestrou]. He already tried to make his [Bestrou] into a form of sword slash by combining it with [Crimson Moon], but he needed Sayaʼs help to execute that attack.

ʼThis is my last attack...ʼ

Souta focused his attention on Rowan who was fighting Alice. He tightened his muscles before he threw the attack. The [Bestrou]s that he created didnʼt focus on destructive power. Instead, he focused all of its power on killing strikes. It wouldnʼt explode upon contact just like the normal [Bestrou].

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The small beams of highly concentrated best feram flew towards Rowan at high speed. It was like a light that traveled in space without any sound.

Hmph!

Rowan suddenly glanced at Souta and shifted his body to the side. He avoided the super fast beams as if he excepted that Souta will attack him.

Eilish and Elder Guan gritted their teeth in frustration when they saw that Soutaʼs attack failed to hit Rowan. As an Extinction Realm master, they naturally sensed the power behind those attacks. It would be sufficient to deal considerable damage to Rowan.

But then something happened the next moment...

Blinding rays of light erupted on the floor beneath the Clan Leader. It was so fast and unexpected that made Rowan lose his focus. The rays of light pierced his body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ugh!

Rowan groaned in pain as blood gushed out of his mouth. The rays of light completely penetrated his defense. He knew that he was weakening but to think that his defense will shatter just like that.

”F-Fuck!”

He looked up with difficulty only to see the demon girl looking at him with fierce eyes. Several golden spheres formed as he opened his right hand.

Ohm!

Alice took a deep breath as the black and blue energy around her intensified. She tightly grip her spear before she launched herself at the Clan Leader with a determination to end this battle.

Swoosh!

Eilish suddenly stopped moving and she raised her staff above her.

”Fine, Iʼm going to leave it to you!”

She said as she casted several buff spells to boost Aliceʼs combat prowess.

Elder Guan, who was on the other side, raised his hands above his head. He could cast buff spells like Eilish so the only thing he could do was to create a barrier around Alice to protect her.

”Free the Clan Leader!!”

Rowan gritted his teeth and waved his hand. The golden spheres shoot sound waves just like his soul weapon, but its strength was lacking compared to his golden bell. Nevertheless, it was enough to deal with a person that hasnʼt broken a single shackle.

Swoosh!

Aliceʼs figure flashed as she moved her body from side to side avoiding the sound waves with unbelievable speed.

[Secret Technique: Heavenly Demonʼs Dark Stride]!

Some of the sound waves were blocked by a barrier that Elder Guan conjured around her. Her speed was fast enough to avoid sound waves but if several sound waves come at her at the same time, she would have a problem.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In just a second, she avoided thousands of sound waves.

Argh!

Rowan widened his eyes as Alice penetrated his chest with a spear.

”N-N-N-No......!”
