The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1078: Destruction of the Ekatoe City: Monster Subjugation

Franklin, Eztein, and Vashno, who were in another area, also felt it. Their instincts screamed at them to run. There was no way they could resist such force with their current strength. ”Letʼs go... We canʼt stay here,” Vashno said. ”Yeah, itʼs too much...” Eztein paused before continuing in a grave tone. ”Ekatoe will be gone...”

They knew that after this, the once-prosperous and bustling Ekatoe City would be no more. The damage to the city was too great. It would take a lot of time and resources to rebuild.

The three got up and began to retreat.

It wasnʼt just them. The other survivors of the battle started retreating as well. They were all warriors of Ekatoe City, none of them ordinary people. All the ordinary citizens who hadnʼt managed to evacuate in time had perished when Kessa unleashed her form.

Some of the warriors helped the monsters leave the city. Some of the weaker monsters, already affected, had lost control and began attacking everything in sight.

This forced Torkez to order some witches to eliminate the monsters. A monster tide would occur if Doranjan and the others stayed here much longer.

In the dreamscape...

Trander and the other warriors watched as the Messenger of Gluttonyʼs sword expanded like a balloon.

The Messenger stepped forward, and Souta roared fiercely. The four spider limbs on his back transformed into a mass of flesh, wriggling in the air as it flew toward the Messenger.

The Messenger of Gluttony stepped back, but the flesh still managed to slice his shoulders. Blood spurted from the wound and quickly transformed into sharp blades. These blades then flew toward Souta.

Swoosh!!

The sharp blood blades pierced the Messengerʼs skin as he swung the balloon-like sword in his hand.

Ohm!!

In the next moment, a powerful explosion erupted, tearing through the boundary between dream and reality.

A deafening sound reverberated. On the outside, people saw a burst of light erupt within the thick white smoke, followed by a powerful, dense energy flying out.

Boom!!

The entire city rumbled as the thick white smoke shattered. The sheer force of the explosion surged into the sky.

Everyone who witnessed this realized that the dreamscape had been shattered. ”Itʼs too strong...”

Erkigalʼs face grew grave at the sight. Alice, who was several dozen meters behind, wore a concerned expression, her fists tightly clenched.

Whoosh!!

An object fell from the sky and pierced the ground.

Alice turned her head and saw a familiar sword. ”This... is Soutaʼs sword,” she muttered, recognizing it. ”I...”

Swoosh!!

The area was filled with smoke, and violent energy sparks flew every second. The radiation was so high that a huge crater, nearly two hundred meters deep, marred the ground.

The wind blew slowly, dispersing the smoke.

Trander, the Chief Captain of the First War Set, stood in the air, observing the surroundings with his subordinates. ”Prepare yourselves. Weʼll intervene,” he instructed his subordinates.

Whoosh!!

In the center of the crater, the Messenger of Gluttony stood. A few meters away, Souta knelt on the ground.

Soutaʼs body was cut in two, from the center of his head to the bottom. Only his bones remained from his head to his torso.

His powerful attack tore through Soutaʼs defenses. The strength of any of the Messengers of Gluttony was not to be underestimated. They were a force to reckon with due to their immense power.

The Messenger stood calmly, his gaze still fixed on Souta.

Suddenly, Soutaʼs eyes lit up as the flesh on his body began to move once again. His energy surged, and his flesh merged, reconnecting the half of his body that had been sliced off.

ROAR!!!

The ground turned black and white as dark clouds gathered in the sky once again. The gravity in the area increased severalfold, and black spheres materialized behind Souta. The darkness on the ground writhed as black tentacles rose from it.

Several spells activated one after another.

The Messenger vanished from his position and appeared behind Souta. Black strings emerged from his body and transformed into a sword.

Swoosh!!

Souta turned around, his blood covering the four spider limbs on his back. The limbs transformed and swept toward the Messenger of Gluttony.

The Messengerʼs sword flashed, cutting through the toughened spider limbs. The blade continued its path, heading straight for Souta.

In the next second, a massive cut appeared on Soutaʼs back, and his blood spurted out like a fountain. The blood armor on his back was torn apart by the sharp blade.

The Messenger of Gluttony was about to attack once more when Trander appeared behind him.

Swoosh!!

Trander gritted his teeth and delivered a powerful kick to the Messenger. The Messenger of Gluttony was sent flying into the air, and the other warriors quickly drew their weapons.

In less than a second, they simultaneously activated their combat arts and launched their attacks.

Several powerful auras erupted, followed by violent sparks of energy.

A massive explosion ensued. ”Continue!” Trander shouted as he bent his knees and launched himself into the air.

It was difficult to catch a Messenger of Gluttony off guard, so they had to either eliminate him or deal significant damage.

Trander and his subordinates held nothing back. They bombarded the Messenger with powerful skills. The sky was filled with various lights, making it both beautiful and dangerous at the same time.

The air vibrated as their auras swept through the entire city.

As the Chief Captain of the First War Set, Trander possessed great strength befitting his position.

Swoosh!!

A figure fell from the lights in the sky and crashed to the ground. Trander followed swiftly, swinging his sword.

A terrifying sword energy erupted.

The Messenger of Gluttony lifted his head and saw the sword energy. It was too late to dodge now.

Boom!!

Trander landed in front of the Messenger, tightly gripping his sword as his energy surged. ”Die!!”

With a swift slash, an enormous white light erupted. [Titanic King Incineration]!!

The Messenger of Gluttony didnʼt stand a chance to defend himself. He was bombarded by powerful attacks from the warriors of Athenaʼs Champion. His defenses were torn apart, and his flesh was shredded into pieces.

Whoosh!!

Trander and his subordinates stopped attacking.

They saw the Messenger standing still, covered in blood. His flesh was torn apart, and his aura slowly dimmed.

The moment Trander launched his attack, he made sure to shatter the defense around the Messenger, allowing the attacks from his subordinates to easily deal damage.

It was flawless execution. ”After all that, youʼre still alive...” Trander said as he stood in front of the Messenger.

He slowly raised his sword. His elemental power and mana swirled around the blade.

Swoosh!!

With a powerful thrust, he stabbed the Messenger in the head.

From start to finish, the Messenger of Gluttony never uttered a single word. ”If there were three or four Messengers, perhaps you could wipe us out. Unfortunately for you, youʼre alone.” Tranderʼs voice echoed as he withdrew his sword, and the Messenger collapsed to the ground.

The Messenger had perished at their hands. ”Now...”

Trander turned around and gazed at Souta.

Soutaʼs wound had already healed. He roared to the sky, unleashing his energy without care. ”Itʼs time for monster subjugation.”

Trander clenched his sword, narrowing his eyes. Soutaʼs insane regenerative ability was troublesome.

It was true that the Messenger of Gluttony was stronger, but Souta was harder to kill. At the very least, the Messenger couldnʼt regenerate a vaporized brain, but Souta could. ”Chief Captain...” One of the warriors glanced at Trander with a worried look. Trander shook his head. His eyes were determined as he said, ”Donʼt treat Grain Leader Souta as a fellow warrior. Right now, he is nothing but a monster. A monster consumed by his power. We must take him down before he can harm the survivors of this city.” ”Yes, Sir.” The warriors obeyed his command. ”Disperse!” Trander shouted, his eyes locked on his target.

His subordinates immediately sprang into action, and an arc of red lightning flashed into their previous position. The lightning poured down in every direction from above, spreading like a net and destroying everything in its path.

Trander leapt into the air, his focus solely on Souta. He aimed his sword at his target as his aura surged through the air. [Vanity of the Knightʼs Will]!!

Trander activated the equipment skill of his weapon. He vanished from his position and flashed toward Souta, tearing apart the red lightning in his path. ”Grain Leader Souta, itʼs time for you to rest before you harm your comrades.”

He thrust his sword with immense power, and a white ray shot out.

Swoosh!
