The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peakchapter 544: witch clan: yuko, doranjan, alice, and souta vs rowan

'So this is the reinforcement that he was talking about...' Eilish said inwardly as she glanced at them. She then looked at Guardian Fortresses in the sky and thought, 'There's no technology on this planet that could create something like that. So how...? Don't tell me...'

Souta looked around and smiled faintly. The chances of him completing his quest grew high but still, Rowan was in a different league.

The smoke disappeared and it revealed Rowan's appearance. He just tanked [Bestrou] and [Dark Shooting Ray] and it only leaves bruises on his tough body.

"Ah, damn! That hurts! My protective field is weakening and an attack like that could now damage my body... I don't like it."

Rowan cracked his neck and he looked ahead. He saw an unfamiliar group of people beside Souta and Eilish. There's also some sort of floating fortresses in the sky above them.

"So they are the one that I felt but..."

He looked around and found that none of them had reached his level nor Eilish's level. In other words, all of them were weaklings. They wouldn't stand a chance against him in a one-on-one battle but who knows if they were abnormal like that third stage monster who was called Souta.

They probably had some sort of technique that could pierce his body. He could still remember how that strange technique of Souta damage his body before.

"I'm done playing with you guys. If you want war then I'll give you one."

Rowan said as his expression turned hideous. He didn't know these newly arrive people but since they were standing beside Souta and Eilish, he just needed to kill them all.

Although he was enraged, his aura was like a calm water.

"Witches! Hear me! Stop playing and kill all these people! Don't hold back and use your soul weapon!"

His voice reverberated in the whole area and it even caused the ground to tremble.

Souta narrowed his eyes and said, "Franklin, Isabella. Bring some of your people and help Yenxa and the two people with her." Since they didn't meet Eztein and Gragas, he had to explain it to them.

"Can I bring one of the Guardian Fortress with me?" Franklin asked.

"Fine. Just accomplish it no matter what." Souta glanced at him before he nodded. He knew that there were a bunch of S-rank chasing Eztein's group so Franklin and Isabella alone wouldn't stand a chance.

They have to overwhelm them with numbers, tactics, and technology. For individual strength, their opponents were highly powerful. It's not wise to fight them in a fair battle.

"I understand." Franklin nodded and wings grew on his back. He flew towards the Guardian Fortresses in the sky with Isabella.

Alice glanced at Eilish wondering who's this woman. She saw her injuries and thought, 'Her injuries aren't regenerating. It means that she's not one of us but she's on our side for now.'

Then, she turned her head to Souta. She saw that his wounds were slowly regenerating. It was still fast but not as fast as before. His parasite was the queen and its regeneration ability was higher than any known parasite so if it slowed down then Souta must have taken a considerable amount of injuries while they were gone.

'Also, it seems that the opponent is injured.'

Various scenes came into her mind as she tried to imagine what happened before they arrive in this place.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hundreds of people flew above Rowan and stared at their group. They were all witches and Rowan's personal subordinates. The force of the Clan Leader of the Witch Clan. Their power levels range from B-rank to S-rank.

A terrifying lineup.

"For now, let's see... Doranjan, Yuko, and Alice will back me up." Souta said as he pointed at Rowan and added, "Our target is that guy, he is the Clan Leader of the Witch Clan. He is currently injured but don't underestimate him. He still had the power to defeat all of us in a one-on-one battle."

"Then, I should handle the rest with our current forces..."

Torkez muttered as he looked at the witches. The energy emanating from those people was intense and he doesn't think that their forces had a huge chance of overcoming them. Although, they had an advantage in terms of numbers the enemy had higher quality.

"So, we will fight quality with quantity."

"Ah, don't worry about that. This woman here is Eilish, she will help you handle most of the strong witches so that you can focus on cutting down their numbers." Souta said as he introduced Eilish.

Eilish stood up and smiled faintly, "Souta's friends. Don't worry about it. I looked pretty bad right now because of my injuries but I can still handle those witches. If I can handle some of the strong witches here then it's the same for that guy. He could handle all of you."

"Although, I said that you can leave Rowan to us. I still hope that you can support us with your spells." Souta said to her.

"I know. If you ever got defeated then I will leave this place without hesitation." Eilish said to him.

"I understand. You're already doing a great favor to me by helping me fight that guy before." Souta replied as he understood that they were not close enough to the point that she will risk her life for him. Helping him and going against Witch Clan was already risky for her.

He turned to Torkez and said, "Go, use everything to push those witches away from the Clan Leader."

"I understand." Torkez nodded and black wings formed on his back. He flew towards the sky and commanded the Guardian Fortresses.

After a few seconds, one of the Guardian Fortress moved. The clash between Souta's forces and the witches had begun. Eilish also moved as she knew that her strength was needed to shorten their gaps in terms of power level. Even though she was heavily injured, she was still a shackled realm expert and it would need a few solidifying realm to fight her on equal grounds.

"Hmm...? Why does one of the Guardian Fortress stayed?" Souta looked up and asked.

The last Guardian Fortress was still above them and it seems that they had no plan to move.

"The one controlling it is part of Torkez group but it seems that the monsters inside it didn't want to follow their orders," Alice reported to him.

The monsters that Doranjan and Yuko brought only followed them. Communication was a problem but there were two third-stage monsters among them so those two could talk to her but somehow, those two monsters wouldn't listen to them.

"Doranjan, Yuko, tell them to move or else I will discipline them later!" Souta said in a cold tone as he turned his head to the dragon and a bear. Those fucking monsters really needed to suffer before they submit. Some of them wouldn't even submit to him even if he beat them.

He was about to add when a figure appeared in front of him.

Swoosh!

"Stop talking monster! Let me finish you properly this time!" Rowan laughed as he coated his fist with a huge amount of mana and threw it in Souta's body.

Bang!

Souta was blown away and Rowan opened his other hand. Several balls of golden light formed as the golden bell rang behind him. He shoots the golden lights towards Souta.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The golden lights pierced through Souta's legs, arms, chest, and stomach. He wanted to completely avoid it but the lights were incredibly fast and he wasn't in a position to avoid it.

"...?" Alice reacted quickly as she pulled out her spear and thrust it towards Rowan.

"It's futile," Rowan said and Alice, Yuko, and Doranjan were blown away instantly.

Boom!

"Argh!" Alice gritted her teeth and she was shocked. Rowan was in no position to attack them yet he managed to do so.

"It's the sound. He could create sound waves using that giant bell of his. If you can't avoid sound then use your energy to protect your body all the time. Even I could barely avoid sound waves." Souta stood up as he wiped the blood on his mouth. He explained Rowan's ability to Alice, Doranjan, and Yuko so that they could prepare themselves.

"It's futile. You can avoid sound waves because you're unbelievably fast for your level but I don't think they had that speed in them." Rowan replied as he glanced at Alice, Doranjan, and Yuko. No matter how much he looked at them, they weren't as strong as Souta.

As expected, it's impossible for third evolution monster to have that kind of power. Souta was an exception and it would be too ridiculous if there's another third evolution monster like him.

Hmm...?

Doranjan unfurled his wings as his body grow taller and a vast amount of best feram exploded in him.

[Monster Orb Release]!

Yuko's body inflated as a dense amount of flames covered her and it turned the whole area into a sea of fire.

[Monster Orb Release]!

Their normal form couldn't keep up with Rowan's simple movements at all so they had no choice but to use their release form at the moment.

"Turning serious, huh?" Rowan smiled and his expression turned brutal. "Come, let me subjugate all of you. I will earn a huge fortune if I sell your body parts."
