The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 1108 Battle

”Letʼs go!”

Dozens of figures flashed through the air, entering the giant formation.

They were the warriors of Athenʼs Champion.

They dove straight toward the massive hole.

Whoosh!!

The titans charged after them but were pushed back by the formation. The glowing bluish light of the formation electrocuted any titan that attempted to follow.

However, it wasnʼt enough.

A blue-haired warrior named Sekdab shouted, ”Hurry up!!”

Sekdab was one of the squad leaders participating in the mission. He was the formation master who had set up the barrier to create an opportunity for the other warriors.

He knew the limits of his formation.

Since he was the only one maintaining it, his capabilities as a Sixth Shackle Realm warrior were stretched thin against the numerous titans.

Bang! Bang!!

Loud echoes rang out as the titans fiercely collided with the formation. Their bodies, bursting with power and energy, tried to pry open the barrier that was preventing them from advancing.

”INVADERS!!!”

”Kill them all!!”

Their roars filled the air, thick with bloodlust.

Bang!!

Powerful titans began breaching the formation, their eyes locking onto the warriors.

Of course, Sekdabʼs formation couldnʼt hold back hundreds of titans at once.

It was within everyoneʼs expectations.

”Prepare for battle!!” Berken shouted.

Alice, Vashno, and Eztein looked up, seeing titans rushing in their direction. All the warriors drew their weapons as their energy surged outward.

Whoosh!!

The battle had begun.

While descending toward the hole, Alice flew around, fiercely clashing with the titans using her spear. Vashno, Eztein, and the other high-level warriors engaged their enemies.

Bang! Bang!

The sounds of battle echoed through the air.

The squad leaders, who were at the Sixth Shackle Realm, positioned themselves at the rear, holding back the Sixth Shackle Realm titans.

Boom!!

Vashno kicked one of the titans as a massive golden wing unfurled behind him. He glanced down at the enormous hole below and felt a strange sensation.

”A suction force...!” he muttered.

Ohm!!

At the bottom of the giant hole, swirling energy formed a gate—a portal leading to an unknown place.

It radiated a powerful pull, dragging everything toward it.

”Thereʼs a portal! It looks like this is where the titans were sealed!” Alice shouted. She shifted to the side, a golden spear materializing in her hand.

The spear glowed brightly as she thrust it forward, blasting the titans in front of her away.

Bang!!

”Go!!” Sekdab roared, pressing both of his hands together.

A second later, the formation he had erected collapsed under the titansʼ relentless assault. Sekdab staggered backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Looking up, the warriors saw hundreds of titans surging toward them.

Whooosh!!

In an instant, the group vanished into the portal.

Their vision spun wildly, and when they regained their senses, they found themselves in midair—plummeting toward the ground.

Everyone quickly looked around, observing the unfamiliar scenery surrounding them.

A huge, dark cave stretched around them.

The distance between the ceiling and the ground was vast. At the center stood a massive tower, its surface carved with countless symbols.

ʼItʼs similar to the place Iʼve been to,ʼ Vashno thought inwardly, ʼbut the symbols are different. This must be one of the places where the titans were sealed.ʼ

Alice noticed something. She turned toward Berken and the other squad leaders, all at the Sixth Shackle Realm.

”Thereʼs a gate on each floor. What should we do?” she asked.

”Go to different floors. I assume all of you still have the artifact you received to dispel the runes, right? Use it when you find the main runes,” said a woman with short brown hair. ”The main rune should be easy to spot. If you can read the energy flow in the air, youʼll be able to locate it when youʼre nearby.”

She then glanced at a man with black hair and dark eyes. ”Omiros, do it for everyone,” she said.

The man named Omiros nodded and closed his eyes. A surge of energy erupted from his body, bathing everyone in a greenish light.

”I can only mark one person per squad, but thatʼs enough for us,” Omiros explained. ”Use the mark to share information. Thereʼs a limit to it, but it should be sufficient here.”

Alice and the other warriors were amazed by the abilities of these high-level fighters.

”I know some of us might die,” Berken said in a loud voice, ”but donʼt surrender to those titans! Fight until the end! Fight until your mission is complete!”

There were still many of them gathered at this moment. They all knew titans awaited inside the tower, and that fierce battles would soon erupt. Some of them might fall—but even in death, they would uphold the dignity of a warrior.

Whoosh!!

The group of warriors entered the tower, each passing through the gates on different floors.

...

Aliceʼs group entered the floor near the top of the tower.

This floor was dominated by a vast sea, dotted with dozens of islands. Floating islands hovered in the air, glowing with an eerie red light.

”Another space...” Eztein muttered, raising an eyebrow as he scanned the surroundings.

Suddenly, the group tensed as they felt an energy wave sweep across the area.

”Is the artifact and potion still active?” Eztein asked in a low voice.

Vashno shook his head. ”No, we already canceled their effects when we fought those titans earlier.”

”Damn,” Eztein cursed under his breath. ”That means the titans here have already detected us.”

”Yeah.”

A few moments later, several gigantic figures appeared in the air, rushing toward them with immense momentum.

”Theyʼre here.”

Alice and the others quickly drew their weapons.

They knew it.

A battle was inevitable.

”Eztein, take this.” Alice tossed an object to him.

Eztein caught it and immediately recognized it—the artifact that would be used to dispel the main rune.

”Iʼll leave this task to you. Weʼll keep the enemies busy. Besides, youʼre the one with the mark,” Alice said.

Eztein nodded.

Alice glanced at Vashno and the others. ”Letʼs go!”

They didnʼt wait for the titans to arrive. They would meet them head-on.

Swoosh!!

Alice shot into the air, her energy soaring high. The golden spear in her hand blazed brightly before she launched a massive energy attack.

The golden ray sliced through the air, speeding toward the titans. The titans scattered, evading the attack, but Vashno had already led Leef and the other elite warriors of Astros into the fray.

Vashno clenched both fists tightly as his body glowed with golden light.

In an instant, he collided with one of the Fifth Shackle Realm titans.

Boom!!

A powerful ripple spread through the air.

Watching this, Alice felt a small sense of relief—the number of titans here was fewer than the ones on the surface.

There were nearly 200 First Shackle Realm titans, 150 Second Shackle Realms, 100 Third Shackle Realms, 50 Fourth Shackle Realms, and 15 Fifth Shackle Realms.

”Letʼs reduce their numbers first, so Leef and the others can fight more comfortably,” Alice muttered to herself. She glanced at Vashno and said, ”Vashno, donʼt hold back.”

Vashno paused for a moment before nodding. An immensely powerful energy wave erupted from within him, bathing the entire area in golden light.

Ohm!!

A massive pair of golden wings, tipped with a faint purple hue, unfurled from his back.

[Nine Layers Golden Purple Destruction]!!

Vashno radiated overwhelming energy, stunning the titans for a brief moment. He flapped his wings, disappearing from his position in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!!

In the next instant, he struck a powerful blow to all the Fifth Shackle Realm titans in the area. The fifteen high-level titans staggered backward, reeling from the heavy impact on their bodies.

His [Nine Layers Golden Purple Destruction] had reached the third layer, making him far more powerful than before. He could now take on multiple titans of the same level at once.

”How long can you last?” Aliceʼs voice rang out.

”Five minutes...” Vashno answered, his gaze fixed on the Fifth Shackle Realm titans. His voice dripped with confidence.

”Itʼs enough.” Alice replied, turning her focus to the lower-level titans. Her aura flared, and the temperature in the air plummeted dramatically.

”Prepare!”

Alice gripped the spear tightly in her hand and launched herself into the air. Her figure blurred across the sky, leaving a trail of ice particles as she chased after the titans.

[Freezing Ground]! [Chilly Wind]! [Hail Storm]!

Her skills unleashed a storm of pure ice.

[Great Blizzard of Thousand Moon]!

[Ice Tornado]!

Titans below SSS-rank were frozen within seconds. They couldnʼt even react before their bodies were encased in ice as Alice unleashed a sweeping, devastating attack.

Alice moved with lightning speed. With every slash and thrust of her spear, a titan fell from the air.

In just moments, their numbers had decreased dramatically.

The Fifth Shackle Realm titans seethed with anger at the sight. They tried to retaliate, but Vashno intercepted them single-handedly.

Vashno activated [Element Drive], combining it with his other skills and equipment to hold back the fifteen Fifth Shackle Realm titans.

His golden figure flashed through the air, continuously clashing against the powerful titans with relentless force.
