The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

695 Combat Arts, Spells, and Techniques

The Astros had many members, especially the people from the witch clan. He even brought children and old witches after accepting Amandaʼs allegiance. Not everyone in the witch clan was an expert so he naturally didnʼt know what to do with them. So he let them do what they were doing when they were still in the witch clan.

Simple farm and selling to make a living. Just the lives of ordinary people. They had different professions and most of the engineers that were working to build the wall were witches.

Also, Souta would copy Athenʼs Champion. He planned to create a portal here and establish a connection on the Guardian Fortress. Doranjan, Yuko, and the others were still staying in that place.

To create a portal, he had to use most of the savings that he kept. It would take a large number of resources as he also needs to create a portal on the Guardian Fortress. The resources needed depends on the distance between the two sides.

The transportational jump of the Guardian Fortress was almost nonexistent in Imperium. The mana density in this land was preventing it from jumping to a far place. Especially right now since the increase in mana density a few days ago. The travel distance of the transportational jump was reduced by a lot.

Itʼs not as simple as the portal that Eilish build to transport objects.

”You can also recruit the civilians in this city...”

Souta then clapped his hands and said, ”Okay, I still have something to do so you can go out now.”

Torkez, Alice, Franklin, and the rest nodded at him before they left the room one by one.

After everyone left, Souta stood up and looked at the piles of thick notebooks in the corner of the room. He picked one and placed it on top of the table.

”Saya, Iʼll leave it to you. Itʼs time to fulfill what you promised before.” He said.

ʼFine...ʼ Sayaʼs voice sounded in his head.

Souta lowered his guard and Saya took control of his body. She then opened the notebook and proceeded to write something in it with full concentration.

Previously in the Fone Kingdom, Saya said that she was going to provide him with some of the combat arts and spells that she knew. Not just combat arts and spells, there were even techniques that could help people strengthen their flesh and mana pool faster. There were even techniques for Liquefying, Solidifying, and Shackled Realms.

This would help the Astros grow faster than before.

This would even benefit the chiefs of Astros except for Alice and Isabella. Well, she was using a demon art to help her liquefy, solidify, and break the shackles in her body. As for Isabella, she had the legacy of the God of Hunt.

Their progression was definitely faster than anyone in the Astros. Alice had already broken one shackle when the mana density rose sharply and Isabella was currently at the initial stage of S-rank.

Franklin, Eztein, and Eilish also had better combat arts and spells than others. The achievement points they earned from clearing the mission were exchanged for high-level skills in Athenʼs Champion. Thatʼs why Souta recommended that if anyone wants to join the Athenʼs Champion, they could join freely.

After two days, the compilation of combat arts, spells, and techniques was completed. Saya didnʼt include the exclusive race skill as no one would be able to use it except for vajras. It was the same for Aliceʼs demon art. It wasnʼt built for other races to use.

Souta asked if Archetype was an exclusive race skill which she answer by saying ”no”. He could learn it but the true power of [Archetype: Vajra Extremity] would only be displayed when a vajra was using it.

So thatʼs why he felt that something was missing when he was practicing it.

ʼThis is enough... I canʼt remember the other powerful skills.ʼ Saya said in a tired tone.

”Itʼs fine. Youʼve greatly helped me.” Souta smiled as he could understand Sayaʼs feelings.

It was impossible for Saya to remember all the skills that she knew for several hundreds of years. She was a god before but right now... Her ability had degraded much to the point that it even affected some of her memories.

Souta was somewhat similar. He couldnʼt remember all the dungeons that he knew in the game. He had already forgotten some of the events in the game. And the hundreds of quests that he took in the game, he could only remember a few of them.

He wanted to recruit people like Isabella, Yanagi, or Alexander who would become powerhouses in the future. But he forgot their backstory so he didnʼt even know where he could find them.

He was surprised when he met Alexander in the Fone Kingdom. That man was going to become the Ancient Myriad Emperor.

”Hu~ letʼs call Torkez.” Souta exhaled as he stretched his body. Saya had been using this body to write every explanation of the combat arts, spells, and techniques that she could remember.

He circulated his best feram to stimulate his muscles and bones. It was also a way of strengthening his body.

He gently opened his mouth and said, ”Torkez, come here.”

His voice contained best feram so it traveled quite far and Torkez naturally heard it.

In just a few seconds, Torkez arrived in his room.

”Is there something I can do for you?” Torkez asked after he bowed his body slightly. It was a sign of respect for the leader. Although Souta said that he didnʼt care about it, Torkez would bow if he knew that he was going to receive an order.

”See these notebooks?” Souta pointed at the piles of thick notebooks. ”Take all of it and build a school in Astros. All of you can learn this and after that, find some instructors for the school.”

Torkez stared at the notebooks. After a few moments, he said, ”I understand. I will do my best to improve myself.”

”Nah, donʼt worry about it. Iʼm sure that you will be fine. Just donʼt forget to continue your research on parasites.” Souta waved his hand.

Torkez thanked him before he left whole all the notebooks. Souta knew that he could leave it to him and everything would work out. If there was any problem that he couldnʼt solve, he knew that Torkez would consult him.

Sometimes he wondered why he played solo in the past. He had a feeling that there was a reason for it but he couldnʼt remember it. His memory was still vague even though he reached the fourth stage.

”Thereʼs still one month before the warriors from Athenʼs Champion arrive. I couldnʼt take any missions so I guess I will try to perfect my combat style.”

Souta said as he left the city lordʼs office.

He learned a lot of things in the war against Red Matter Association. Also, his release form had taxed his body too much compared to when he was still third stage. The consumption of best feram and stamina was too high.

He called Yenxa before he visited Aliceʼs room. He told her that he was going to leave for a while. When she asked ʼwhy?ʼ He answered her that he was going to train with Yenxa. She was at the limit and would reach the next evolution soon.

”How long?” Alice asked as she glanced at Yenxa who was standing beside Souta.

”One month... The maximum time is probably two months.” Souta answered her.

”Hm... I see. Then, should I tell others or not?” Alice nodded and asked. She knew that Souta was a training maniac. He just returned from war and he hasnʼt even rested for a long time, yet he was going to train once again.

So she was already used to it.

Souta shook his head and said, ”You can tell them after I left. I donʼt want to bother them this time. They are all busy. You also have to train. Donʼt forget your goal.”

Alice laughed lightly as she covered her mouth. ”I know, I know. I didnʼt forget it. You donʼt have to always mention it.”

”Well, if you say so...” Souta shrugged his shoulders.

”Okay, Iʼll take care of this place while you are gone.”

”Thanks.”

After talking to Alice, Souta secretly left Ekatoe City with Yenxa. Aside from Alice, the others had no idea that the two had left this place.

Ekatoe City belongs to a group of seven cities around the Mine Valley. And the Mine Valley was a part of the land called Hall Plains. It was a region outside the territory of Olympus. It contained seventeen small nations and several dozens of independent cities and independent noble lands.

There was a mountain range thirty kilometers away from the city. Souta and Yenxa went to that place to start their training.

While the two were away, the renovation of the city continued. A few days later, the wall was completed and it was called the inner wall, the boundary of Astros and Pople.

The wall around the city was also expanded and various houses were built. The former residents of the inner district took these newly built houses.

Days had passed quickly... A school was established on Astros and Torkez started to implement some of the rules of Astros. The entire Ekatoe City had no other choice but to keep up with the changes.

Everyone was busy.
