The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 639: Terror in Fone Kingdom: Another

Souta arrived on the surface. The underground base had collapsed, burying the [Titanous Victor Golem]. He finished the quest and all the members of the Red Matter Association in the Fone Kingdom have died mysteriously.

They just felt an aura of a pinnacle fifth stage monster and all of a sudden, everything was finished. It was indeed a terrifying experience.

Souta found the Blue Cross Squad and asked them about the things that happened. Just like him, they didnʼt have any idea too.

”What the hell happened?”

He narrowed his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose. The good thing about this was that he completed two quests without him knowing anything.

He sat on the corner and looked at the sky, feeling exhausted. Suddenly, he felt something in his pocket.

He took it out only to find a small pure red marble. It was glistening and inside it contained enormous energy.

”What is this?”

He muttered to himself as he carefully observed it.

ʼWhile you were unconscious, I found it so I decided to bring it with you. I think you should let Isabella examine it.ʼ Saya said to him.

”Oh, I see...”

Souta raised his eyebrows. He could tell that Saya was lying to him with his [Galaxy Eyes].

”Saya, tell me the truth... What really happened while I was unconscious?” He asked in a serious manner. He didnʼt understand why Saya had to lie to him.

ʼI... I canʼt tell you... Itʼs something really to a huge casualty. Itʼs not that I donʼt want to tell you, itʼs just that I canʼt.ʼ Saya explained.

”So youʼre saying that something is preventing you from telling me what happened?”

ʼThatʼs the gist of it. The time is preventing me from saying anything related to it. Iʼm just a consciousness so Iʼm bound by it. If I have my previous body then this is nothing to me.ʼ Saya said to him.

”I see...” Souta nodded at her. This time, she was telling him the truth.

Even though she couldnʼt tell him the truth, he still wanted to know. He was curious about how did this happen in the first place. All he could remember was that Gremina used his strongest ability and fell unconscious after that.

ʼThe one from before is Souta from five years... He just evolve into the fourth stage a few weeks ago and in just five years he will reach the peak of the fifth stage. Itʼs unbelievably fast.ʼ Saya said inwardly. ʼAlso, itʼs too powerful. Itʼs several times stronger than a pinnacle fifth stage monster.ʼ

What she didnʼt know was that considering the system, it was reasonable that Souta reached the fifth stage in five years. It was short but itʼs also not too long.

Souta reached level 60 in just two years. It was harder to level up above level 60, so it will take a lot of time if he wanted to reach level 80, the fifth stage. Well, since he reach the pinnacle of fifth stage, its level was definitely higher than level 80.

ʼI donʼt know if itʼs bad or not. He said that I shouldnʼt protect him. He will face a tragedy in the near future. Just what did he experience to have that kind of face.ʼ

Saya observed Soutaʼs face while in deep thought.

Souta looked at the system and opened his eyes widely. He saw countless notifications, seemingly endless.

ʼI...ʼ

He killed tens of thousands of people and most of them were normal people.

The citizens of Fone Kingdom were killed by him? But how?

He looked around with a pale expression. His eyes saw countless grieving souls around.

Although he killed innocent people before, he was trying to avoid killing them. That was his bottom line.

He was trying to avoid this as he felt that he would become someone else if he carelessly killed innocent people. His monster instinct would eat his emotion and he would become a mindless monster.

He wouldnʼt be able to think properly if that happens.

ʼI...ʼ

Souta walked around and looked at the corner. He saw a woman holding a young girl in her arms. Both of them were dead and it seems that they died because of intense energy pressure.

His eyes pierced through the surrounding area and saw a bunch of corpses. Their cause of death was all the same.

”Iʼm sorry...”

Souta closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He didnʼt know how, but the system was telling him that he was the one that killed these people.

ʼI need to clear my mind...ʼ

Huff!

ʼI can still do this.ʼ

He shook his head. After a while, he opened his eyes. He needed to think about something else.

...

In the outskirts of Mirror Lake.

The main force just finished the people of the Red Matter Association that was trying to stop them.

”They are just buying time.” Vandal said as he looked at the Mirror Lake.

”I have the same thoughts, Chief. I donʼt know what they are planning but we should prepare ourselves. I think itʼs better if we fight them as soon as possible before our enemies finished their preparation.” A woman with long yellow hair said. She was the Vice-Chief of the Third Set of Pallas Division, Shirley De Guann.

”Weʼve suffered some casualties this time but we can still fight the Red Matter with our forces.” Vandal said.

”What about the Grains that we sent to the surrounding kingdoms?” Shirley asked.

”Have you read the report already?” Vandal looked at her.

Shirley shook her head. ”No, sir.”

”I see... They are fighting the members of the Red Matter Association. Itʼs a huge battle as three [Titanous Victor Golem] appeared in different cities. Our side suffered huge casualties this time.”

”[Titanous Victor Golem]?!”

”Yes, that was what they said in the report. Itʼs hard to believe it but our troops encountered those so-called War Golems.”

”Thatʼs quite a problem. Only a Grain Leader can match a War Golemʼs strength.” Shirley rubbed her chin.

”Weʼll gather everyone here in the next two hours. After that, weʼll proceed to Mirror Lake. Our support from the Fourth Set and Sky Avenue will narrow their encirclement after we proceed.” Vandal explained.

”You must be aware that Red Matter isnʼt moving alone, Chief?” Shirley asked.

”Yes, thatʼs why we asked the Fourth Set and Sky Avenue to support us. Also, the Red Matter Association will not make a big movement like this one without someone supporting them.” Vandal paused for a moment before he continued, ”This is the reason why this mission is important. It will lead us to a bigger event that could endanger a lot of people.”

”Itʼs really strange that a lot of organizations like Red Matter Association are making a move. Even the other Divisions are busy taking care of other troubles. Not just us, even the other legions are moving to fight those organizations. I think that if we didnʼt take care of it, it will cause a huge war.” Shirley said her opinion.

”The happenings in the continent are getting more and more chaotic. Sooner or later, Division Commander will have to make an appearance. Even gods could show themselves if things get more worse.” Vandal said in a grave tone. He had a bad feeling about these events.

First, was the demon invasion. And now they had to care about these hidden organizations.

At the very least, the situation here wasnʼt as bad as in the southern part of the continent, where demons ravaged dozens of countries.

...

”I donʼt know what happened but all the members of the Red Matter Association in the Fone Kingdom have died,” Carmel said in a loud voice. He looked at the aftermath of the battle and said, ”Whatʼs left is this ruined land. I donʼt think the Fone Kingdom could rise once again after this.”

The squads of the Tenth Grain War were all standing in front of him, listening to his words. Some of them were injured and full of blood but all of them had a serious look on their face.

This situation was serious. They didnʼt have time to joke around. Their members had died too in this battle.

As for the Fone Kingdom, although it was unfortunate, they couldnʼt do anything about it. The members of the Red Matter Association werenʼt the only ones that died from the strange incident just now, most of the citizens of this kingdom couldnʼt handle the intense pressure of the best feram that appeared.

The pressure directly killed all the people with low power levels.

Souta was with the Blue Cross Squadron. While listening to Grain Leader Carmel, he was checking his system. He just finished two quests and earned 20 skill points.

It was good.

But another quest had pop-up.

[Red Matter Association]: The Third Set is going to confront the Red Matter soon. Help them destroy the organization and discover its connection with the Third Set.

Rewards: 10 skill points, 40 free attribute points, 10 million experience points, and 2 random cards.

ʼOh, a card? Itʼs a pretty good reward. I donʼt think this is going to be an easy mission.ʼ Souta muttered inwardly as he glanced at Carmel.
