The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 679: War in Subterranean World: Avron vs. Hippogriff

There was a reason why Souta was confident with his proposal. He knew that he wouldnʼt be bound by the Terror Gale Hippogriff. The inheritance of the God of Space was gone so the Red Matter Association acquired it for sure, if not then it would only be one of the locals.

The Red Matter Association was staying in this land for several years and surely they already discovered the existence of the fifth stage monster. They just probably didnʼt do anything that would arouse its attention and in the dark, they were preparing to eliminate it.

The presence of a fifth stage monster was like a time bomb for the Red Matter Association. They could only sleep peacefully in this land when they were sure that they had the power to eliminate it.

At the very least, no one would escape unscathed if the fifth stage monster and Avron clashed. It doesnʼt matter who wins among them, the Athenʼs Champion would eliminate them and claim victory at the end of the day.

”Hippogriff... You appeared in the end. I thought that you are just going to observe everything on the sideline like you always do.” Avron forced a smile on his face.

”Puny humans!!” The Hippogriff roared before he flapped his wings. Flames on his wings swirled wildly and it turned into tornadoes.

Boom!!

Avron jumped away while shooting several rays of energy to slow down the flame tornadoes. He knew that he couldnʼt defeat this powerful monster in a head-on confrontation.

”Iʼve prepared this Aranhgrad for you!”

He grinned as he took out a small device in his pocket. He crushed it with his palm and the fragments of the device turned into five rings.

”Activate Aranhgrad!!”

Thousands of runes shone brightly around the giant fortress. The pillar of energy that supported the sky suddenly disappeared leaving only a huge ball of light close to the ceiling.

ʼI didnʼt need to channel any more energy to Prototype Sicily. I just need to wait for it to mature and I will be able to complete one of my goals.ʼ

Lightning whip burst forth from the edges of the fortress. It spread out and enveloped the fifth stage monster, Hippogriff.

The Hippogriff turned his head left and right. The countless lightning whips were rushing at him at extreme speed. He opened his beak loudly and a huge amount of flames gathered.

Ohm!!

[Terror of the Flaming Wind]!!

He used one of his trait skills. A skill that could let him create a miniature sun with overwhelming heat. The light coming from it illuminated the entire subterranean world and the temperature rose rapidly.

”I know that itʼs not gonna be easy but this guy is really strong,” Avron muttered while looking at the miniature sun. The appearance of this monster was still within his expectations. Plus, it doesnʼt matter as Project Sicily had finished taking the energy. It will continue even without the support of Aranhgrad.

The heat coming from it dispersed the countless lightning whips easily. The entire area was boiling as if everything was going to turn into ashes.

Sun rays burst forth and he quickly moved his body away while sending darkness to offset it.

”I should start the last part... This monster is the obstacle to creating the Spatial Gem but it will not stop me.”

With a wave of his hand, the five rings on his finger shone brightly. Some unknown mechanism in the core of the fortress had begun to move. It was going to process and construct the stone from legends.

Thirty minutes... Thirty minutes before it completes the construction. In that amount of time, he should kill this monster first so that no one could disturb him.

”If this was before then I will be defeated even after borrowing the power of Aranhgrad but now... I mastered the Archetype of Space God.”

Avron jumped above as darkness covered his whole body. Then, he opened his left arm and energy fluctuated around it.

[Archetype: Spatial Domination]!!

[Seventh Form: Emptiness Earth]!!

BOOMMM!!!

Vandal was blown away by the shockwaves of the two attacks. He looked ahead with disbelief in his eyes as the small sun and colorless giant sphere collided.

He gritted his teeth as he grabbed the wound on his stomach.

”So this is the power of the Archetype...”

Even though he was strong among the Seven Shackles Realm, the power that Avron showed this time was greater than he had imagined. Although the thousands of runes from the Aranhgrad were supporting him, it was still a great feat to fight a fifth-stage monster alone.

Seeing this scene personally, he could say that Avron was the strongest Seven Shackles Realm he had met in his entire life. He had met and fought various Seven Shackles Realm from other God Legions but none of them would be able to contend against this man.

”But how come he could use all those runes?”

Bang! Bang!

Avron crashed on the ground. He looked ahead and saw a giant fireball and wind coming at him. He kicked the ground to create a distance.

He grabbed the air in front of him and darkness spread out.

[Veil of Darkness]!

The sharp wind destroyed the curtain of darkness while the fireball flew in his direction. He then raised his hand and swung it down.

[Second Form: Invisible Night Blade]!!

Boom!!

ʼMy [Element Drive] will not last longer than Vandal so I have to damage this monster before my drive runs out of power. It will make the battle easier after that.ʼ Avron said inwardly as he flew towards the sky.

Swoosh!

A huge flaming claw suddenly appeared beside him. He opened his eyes widely as the claws rushed at his body.

[Fourth Form: Dimensional Step]!

The Hippogriff only hit the air as Avron suddenly vanished. He quickly turned around and flapped his wings creating a flaming tornado.

At this time, Avron reappeared behind the Hippogriff. He stepped on its body and grabbed both of its wings.

”Y-You!!”

The Hippogriff roared as flames erupted in every direction. Avron gritted his teeth as both darkness and flames fought each other.

Boom!!

The two crashed on the ground. Then, the best feram shot through the sky like a giant pillar. The energy dispersed the shadows on the entire surface of Aranhgrad.

Avron was blasted several hundreds of meters away. He stretched out his hands and stabbed the ground to force himself to stop. Then, he looked ahead before raising both of his hands.

[Archetype: Spatial Domination]!

[Sixth Form: Boundary of the Empty Land]!!

The space in front of him was folded several times. A crackling sound echoed as the space distortion occurred.

Then, a huge amount of flames and wind smashed into the folded space. The impact caused a powerful shockwave yet nothing passed through the folded space. It was blocking everything in sight.

Bang!!

Looking at the scene ahead, Avron grinned and said, ”Finally, youʼre taking this seriously... Then, let me respond to you!”

[Archetype: Spatial Domination]!!

[Ninth Form: Eternal Damnation]!!

The space around him was shattered like a fragile glass. The fragmented space turned into sharp weapons as it flew toward the direction of the fifth stage monster.

The Hippogriff size had shrunk down. It turned into a two-meter-tall monster with two pairs of flaming wings. Its aura was stronger than before and sharp winds were spinning around its claws.

It was the [Monster Orb Release] of the Hippogriff. It wanted to finish this fight as soon as possible. What it didnʼt expect was that Avron had the ability to hold it down.

The space affinity was extremely hard to counter than any other elements out there. It was also one of the hardest things to master out of all affinity types.

Boom!!

The two fought fiercely as the aftershocks from their battle slowly chipped the Aranhgrad. The fortress was trembling heavily and some of the runes around it started to explode due to overload.

It was shining brightly under the darkness. It kept flickering and gave a boost to Avronʼs combat prowess. Due to its effect, Avron started bleeding in all seven orifices as his body couldnʼt handle the overwhelming power of all runes.

If he didnʼt have the key and Archetype of Space God, then his body wouldʼve exploded before.

Bang!!

The legs of the Aranhgrad moved and it caused a tremor in the entire three nations. Its weight was something that they couldnʼt imagine.

Boom!!

Souta stopped moving as he turned his head. The aura of the fifth stage monster had grown stronger and it could even pressure him at this distance. The uneasiness he was feeling was growing stronger.

It was forcefully letting his urges out of him. Thatʼs why he created a string of flesh and drilled his stomach to control the urges.

”Shit! This will end soon...”

He cursed before he continued running. He was already outside of the three nations and was catching up on the warriors of the Fourth Set.

The environment of the three nations was disadvantageous to him. The other Shackled Realm experts could still fight under that pressure but him... He was different. He was a monster. The suppression it brought was higher to him compared to humans and demis.
