The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 670: War in Subterranean World: Souta and Darwin vs Dromas I

Souta took a deep breath as he gathered the souls in his surroundings. If he was alone, he wouldnʼt fight Dromas but since he had Grain Leader Darwin with him the chances of winning had increased.

Aside from arranging everything, this was the only thing he could do. The executives of the Red Matter Association were out of his league much less the founder.

Thud!

Dromas came out of the smoke. He stared at the two of them with intense killing intent.

”Hey, you two! This is not your business! Get out of my way! Let me fucking kill Finn!” He said in a hoarse voice.

The energy around his body kept increasing. The pressure around him made the ground tremble.

”Iʼm afraid that we canʼt do that,” Darwin replied as he slowly brandished the sword on his waist.

”DIE!!!” Dromas roared as he jumped forward. He instantly covered several hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

Darwin stepped to the side and kneed Dromas on the stomach. Then, he swung his sword but his opponent caught it with his hand.

[Earth Shaking Strike]!

Dromas threw a powerful punch at Darwinʼs chest.

Bang!

A ring-shaped shockwave exploded from the impact. The next moment, Darwinʼs body flew at high speed before he crashed to the ground.

ʼSo fast!ʼ Souta exclaimed inwardly. He knew that his opponent was strong but it was above his expectations.

Swoosh!

The [Dark Cloud Hunting] was blown away easily and the [Shadow Cloak] was shattered in just a single punch.

Ugh!

Souta spat a mouthful of blood. He could hardly react to the movement of his opponent. It was too fast and the strength was beyond his imagination.

Dromas grabbed his face before he threw him in the air. Then, he punched him in the stomach with all of his might.

Bang!!

Blood splattered everywhere as Soutaʼs body was blasted away. His figure penetrated dozens of buildings away before he crashed to the ground causing a huge explosion.

Boom!!

Dromas turned his head away and said, ”One down.”

He glanced at his subordinate who was fighting Finn and Boudo. He wanted to join the fight but he knew that he had to defeat the other warrior.

”Tsk! After I finish my goal I will kill them all!”

He said to himself. He looked at the side and saw Darwin staring at him. It will take some time if he wants to kill this guy.

”It hurts... I canʼt believe that Iʼm fighting a barbarian in this place.” Darwin said as a smile formed on his face. He didnʼt expect it at all. Plus, it seems that this guy had learned various combat arts related to his bloodline.

It will be a great challenge for him.

”You think highly of yourself just because you came from the surface,” Dromas said in a low tone. His energy fluctuations flared up once again. Several combat arts were activated one by one.

”Bloodline alone will not make you the stronger fighter here! Iʼve fought barbarians before!” Darwin said before his energy flared up too. He activated his combat arts to boost his overall stats by a large margin.

The two suddenly disappeared from their position. The next moment, they were already exchanging hundreds of blows in the middle of the palace.

Boom!! Boom!!

”Ugh!!”

Souta opened his eyes. The punch from Dromas penetrated all of his defenses and it even destroyed the equipment he was wearing.

He forgot that his [Flame Unity Robe] was still with Airi. So his defense provided by red grade equipment disappeared.

He looked at the huge hole in his stomach and sighed. His flesh was moving and after a few seconds, the hole on his stomach had disappeared.

”Damn, that fucking hurts!”

Souta complained as he stood up. Dozens of his bones were broken in that attack and he couldnʼt even do a thing.

He picked up the vajra sword on the ground before he stretched his body. All of his wounds were completely healed just like that. The parasite was really useful or else he wouldʼve died from that kind of injury.

”At least from that attack, I realized the extent of my opponentʼs strength. His energy reserve is equal to Grain Leader Darwin but he had unbelievable physical prowess. A barbarian with various combat arts that boosted his physical strength to the limit.”

He muttered while rubbing his chin. His eyes could see the energy capacity and power level of his opponent but he couldnʼt see their learned combat arts. He could only know it if his opponent activated it.

Still, at that moment, he saw various skills were activated one by one. It shook him to the core as that attack almost killed him.

”Okay, Iʼm good as new... Itʼs time to return.”

Souta grinned as he rested the vajra sword on his shoulder. While he was walking, strings of flesh slowly covered his body.

”Itʼs been a while since Iʼve fought someone above me. Itʼs making my skin crawl.”

His Second Mode wasnʼt enough to keep up with Dromas. One hit was enough to heavily injure him so he was going to take this to the next level. Itʼs been a while. He wouldnʼt be able to experience this feeling if he Athena trained him in Olympus.

Boom!! Boom!!

Darwin slashed his sword and an energy blade flew out of it. Dromas simply punched it and the energy blade was chopped into two. The pieces of energy flew behind him and caused destruction.

”You canʼt do it! There are a lot of people stronger than me!” Darwin roared as he slashed his sword once again.

Dromas stepped on the side barely avoiding the slash before he stomped his right foot heavily on the ground.

[Earthshaking Wave]!

Cracks formed on the surface as boulders of rocks burst from the ground.

”No matter what I will achieve my goal! Nothing could stop me!”

He moved his body to the side as Darwin destroyed the boulders of rock. Then, he clenched his fist as light seeped out of it.

The next moment, he threw it forward and it was followed by a huge ray of energy.

[Barbarian Demolition Fist]!!

Darwin narrowed his eyes. He realized that he couldnʼt avoid this attack so he could only block it or offset it with his own attack.

He jumped away while pointing his sword at the attack. His blade gives off a brilliant white light. Not only that, his body also emitted a burst of light as he thrust his sword.

[Oblitering Holy Judgement]!!

”What?!”

Dromas was shocked when he saw that the white light swallowed his attack. He was about to retreat when his feet sunk to the ground. No, the solid ground turned into mud.

He simply removed it with his energy but several black tentacles emerged strangling his body.

Not even a second had passed but the white light was already in front of him. He gritted his teeth and faced the incoming attack.

Boom!!

The white light continued to move forward as it obliterated everything in its path. It wasnʼt destructive but the power it possessed was concentrated. If people were beside it, it wouldnʼt do any harm but the moment they touch the white light it will be their doom.

Souta landed on the ground as he watched the white light destroy everything. It continued to move forward until it reached several kilometers before finally stopping.

”A high level light attribute combat arts...”

As expected of a Grain Leader of Fourth Wise. In that second, Darwin used [Elemental Drive] to bolster the power of his attack before he turned it off again. It was quick but it shows the amazing control of his power.

ʼI can still feel his presence. That guy is still alive. Be careful. You distracted him at that crucial moment so he will try to target you this time.ʼ Saya warned him.

”I know...” Souta replied to her. That attack reached the battle on the other side and he could feel that it killed some people there.

”Youʼre still alive, thatʼs great,” Darwin said when he saw him. ”Thanks to your distraction he got hit by my attack. No matter how strong he is, he wouldnʼt be able to escape without any damage.”

”Well, yeah...” Souta nodded.

Boom!!

An explosion occurred on the other side as the ground started to shake heavily. They saw Dromas charging at them with unbelievable speed.

”Iʼll take him...” Darwin said before he stepped forward.

Swoosh!

His figure collided with Dormas. They exchanged thousands of blows in just a second when Dormas suddenly used his [Elemental Drive].

[Dual Elemental Drive: Fire and Earth Force]!!

It was so powerful that it blew Darwin several hundred meters away. Then, when Dormasʼ feet touched the ground it quickly turned into magma.

”Shit!!”

Souta tried to fly in the mid-air but the opponent grabbed him on the feet. Then, he smashed him into the sea of magma.

Bang!!

If it was an ordinary magma, it wouldnʼt harm him but it contained Dormasʼ enormous mana, and it was breaking his defenses.

”Move!”

Souta roared as blood flooded the whole area. It tried to offset the magma but the energy within it was too much. It was evaporating the blood that he was controlling.

His skin was melting and regenerating at the same time. It was a painful process that he had to endure in his current state.
