The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peakchapter 572: council's attack: battle in the space

"Please, teach me how to fight properly!" Yenxa said to Doranjan in a serious tone.

"Um... How should I say it? There's a huge difference in our body shape so I wouldn't be able to teach you. My body is several times larger than yours so my combat style is entirely different while your body is humanoid like humans and demis. It means that your combat style is closer to them." Doranjan slowly explained to Yenxa. "But the easiest way to hone your combat skill is through battle. You've already experienced different battles and I'm sure that you've built up your combat style."

"My Lord taught me his spells and I'm not sure how should I use them in battle. I don't want to bother My Lord because of this so I could only ask you." Yenxa said.

"I see... There's a training ground in this fortress. It's in the basement. Do you want to go there and show me the spells you learned?" Doranjan asked.

"W-Wait! M-Master taught you his spells?! Rah!! No matter what you did you will never become Master's..." Yuko joined the conversation.

Yenxa turned to Yuko and said, "I just want to become useful to My Lord. I've realized in the previous battle that I couldn't help him at all. I swore that I would help him before but I couldn't do anything."

"Wah! Of course! Hmph! I'm the only one who could help Master!" Yuko harrumphed as she turned her head sideways. "Master always gave me fruits that I like and he always pats me! I'm getting stronger and soon I will be able to evolve once again! Once that happens Master will praise me once again! Kuh! I can't wait for it!"

Doranjan just looked at the two monsters in front of him. He was the strongest here and he was also the oldest here. Almost one hundred years had passed since he was born.

Yet, the two in front of him could surpass him in the future. No, Yuko was already close to reaching his level and if that happens he didn't know how could he stop these two. If that's the case, then he would simply make sure to become stronger so that these two couldn't catch up to him.

Nothing was wrong with it. He could feel it. He was at the limit of his evolution and it was the first time that he was experiencing this type of feeling.

Before meeting Souta, he thought that his knowledge was huge and the only thing that he didn't know was little. He even learned all the languages of humans on his planet. But he realized that he was quite ignorant.

He didn't even know what's a best feram. He always thought that it was unique to dragons and no other creature could manipulate this energy. After all, all dragon was born with this power.

Souta told him the truth about monsters. Everything that he need to know about monsters and dragons was revealed before his eyes.

'Such a problem... I don't know what would these two do if they aren't besides Souta.'

Doranjan said inwardly with a sigh. Yuko and Yenxa weren't talkative but when it comes to their master they would blabber nonstop.

"Stop it! Let's go to the training ground!" He said to the two before he turned around his huge body.

Right now, the fortress had completed its missions. Yenxa's tribesmen were on board and they were on their way back to the meeting place.

Soon, they were going to the rendezvous point.

...

Days had passed quickly... The Guardian Fortresses was getting chased by the army of the Council of High World. They were getting closer to Imperium and the army that was chasing them was getting stronger too.

They arrived in a distant galaxy with a low world in it.

The mana density of this planet was too low but it was still under the rule of the council. It had several facilities and military bases in it.

Just like what Souta expected, the council managed to trace them using the lingering energy from their previous location. The transportational gate was made using science and magic and its magical structure wasn't that complicated. The council could easily track them with it.

Right now, Souta and the rest were floating in outer space. The two Guardian Fortresses were behind them and in front of them was the army of the council.

'Just one more jump and we will arrive in the Imperium and the council knows it too. They are getting impatient by sending a strong army to stop us. In the next jump, I'm sure that the army will definitely try to stop us at all cost.' Souta said inwardly while observing the army of the council in front of him.

The two elders along with Eilish were also here. The strongest people in the fortresses were outside to repel the forces of the council. Everyone knew that it will become an all-out battle until the cooldown time of the transportational gate.

"They are coming..." Franklin smirked as he saw hundreds of people rushing in their direction.

They were in outer space so only B-rank and above have the capability to survive in the vacuum of space.

The battle started as Eilish casted a wide-range offensive spell. She raised her staff above her above and a magic circle formed beneath her feet.

Several hundreds of spears made of water formed around her. The spears were vibrating strongly as they emitted a very dangerous aura.

With a wave of her staff, hundreds of spears flew towards the army of the council.

Elder Guan glanced at Eilish and thought, 'This is the woman who stood against the former Clan Leader.'

No matter what, Elder Guan and Elder Hanmi had respected Eilish for her strength. She was a textbook mage at Extinction Realm. Even the Clan Leader avoided fighting Eilish at long-range battle. She was a disaster that could wipe out an entire country in the high world easily.

More than twenty S-rank worked together to stop Eilish's attack. Even then, the spell still took some of their comrades.

"It's fine to attack now!"

Franklin grinned widely as he charged towards the enemies.

Eztein, Alice, Amanda, and the other S-rank witches also charged at the enemies.

Of course, Souta didn't want to be left behind. The experience points that he could get from killing S-rank were several times higher than A-rank. When he waged war against the Great Astley Empire, he killed millions of C-rank and D-rank.

Killing a thousand A-ranks was already enough to fill the exp of those millions C-rank. Yet, the exp he could get from one S-rank was equal to hundreds of A-rank. The difference was huge.

Although killing was the slowest way to raise his level, it was still better than nothing. He played the game for ten years and he knew the big event where he could get billions of exp but gods were involved in those events.

Ever since he arrived in this world, his goal was to survive. He would avoid participating in those events if it was necessary. After all, in every event in the game, he died several times. That's why he was only taking the quest that he knew he could complete.

But unique events in this world, just like what happened in Ladros City. If he knew that the Underground King and Zodiac Leo would appear there he would have evacuated that place a long time ago. He was lucky that the two fought in the sky or else everyone in the city would have died.

"Tsk!"

Souta clicked his tongue as he threw a punch at the A-rank in front of him before he slash his sword on the person beside him.

He wanted to fight some S-rank but these guys kept bothering him. Although these guys were weaker than him, they had good coordination that made them harder to kill.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They exchanged hundreds of powerful blows in just a minute but Souta failed to land a fatal blow.

'My normal form still couldn't handle a group of nine expert A-rank.'

Souta tightened his fist as a gravity field formed around him. The field expanded instantly as it tried to push everyone away from him.

[Hunting State]!

[Serial Killing Steps]!

The black boots that he was wearing emitted a strange dark blue aura. His body moved so fast that the A-rank could hardly follow his movements.

The equipment skills of the dark grade [Solid Hunter State Boots] were activated.

The [Hunting State] could create a field that could decrease the target's movement speed by 20%. Can be only used at five targets at a time. This skill consumed 2 stamina per second and stamina was the thing that he lacks the most.

His health and energy(best feram) were enormous but stamina was left behind. Once he got to Imperium, he will try to increase it first.

While the [Serial Killing Steps] was a movement skill that could increase the user's speed by 20%. While using, the user's stealth ability and backstab attack will also increase by 20%. The last effect of this skill was that the other movement skill that he had will have a 10% power up and he currently had a lot of movement skills in his arsenal.

The only problem was that this skill can only be used for ten minutes at the cost of 100 stamina and 100 energy. It has a cooldown time of 2 hours before he could use it again.

The two skill was completely compatible to each other. Decreasing the opponent's speed by 20% and increasing the user's speed by 20% could create a huge gap in a one-on-one battle.
