The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Chapter 672: War in Subterranean World: Souta and Darwin vs Dromas III

Finn and Boudo finally defeated George, the second-in-command of the Rebel Army.
It took them all of their strength to defeat this man.
They didn’t expect that there would be another powerful man close to Dromas level in the entire three nations.

“Huff… We did it…” Boudo said with great effort as his great sword fell from his hand.
He didn’t have enough strength to lift his sword after fighting such a battle.

“Yeah, somehow…” Finn, the President of Cartel, nodded.
He glanced at Boudo and saw his state.

Boudo lost his left arm and there were several gaping holes on his body.
His orange-grade armor was shattered and their potions were consumed.
Blood kept pouring out of his wounds, creating a small pool of blood on the ground.

“You did great…”

Finn said as he used all of his effort to salute to the Guardian of Palace.
He knew that Boudo wouldn’t last long with that kind of injury.
The only thing he could do was see him off.

He closed his eyes as Boudo slowly fell on the ground.
He tightly clenched his fist and wondered why did this happen.

In an instant, the entire nation was engulfed in chaos.
No one expected this to happen at all.

“I just hope that the warriors will win against Dromas.” Finn turned his head and looked in the direction where he could feel the battle.

Defeating George considerably weakened the Rebel Army.
The Rebel Army was more focused on Cartel than the two other nations so the number of enemies here was several times larger.

But something’s strange… They shouldn’t have enough people to fight against the Rebel Army and Red Matter but somehow they managed to hold on for a long time.
Even those Commanders of Rebel were being held back.

The Athen’s Champion and Government shouldn’t have enough people to handle them.

Everything was in a stalemate.
There’s no progression in this war.
Even though Finn wanted to win against the Rebel Army and Red Matter, he still felt a little weird about this situation.
The Rebel Army and Red Matter matter should’ve completely conquered the entire Cartel right now.

Now that he thinks about it, maybe this was a strategy of Athen’s Champion.
Or there’s a chance that the Red Matter is planning something again.

“What is it? I need to uncover it to formulate a counter plan.”

Finn said to himself as he stood up and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth.
He glanced at Boudo’s body before he left.
He wanted to retrieve his body safely but he knew that he still had something important to do.
He just hopes that Boudo will forgive him in the afterlife.

…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Darwin and Dromas wrestled as both of them crashed on the ground.
The entire place was devastated as both of them used their [Element Drive].
It became an all-out battle until one of them died.

Souta jumped behind Dromas before he quickly swung his sword.
Black lightning and crimson energy shot down.

“Pesky!” Dromas blocked the attack with his hand before he delivered a blow on Souta’s stomach.

He was irritated.
He couldn’t even kill this monster.
No matter how severe injuries he gave to that monster, the monster would come back as if nothing happened.

He wanted to directly kill but Darwin was preventing him.

Swoosh!

A large cut appeared on his back, the moment he turned his attention on Souta.
It was hard fighting two people at the same time.
Especially if one of them was at the same power level.

“Don’t ignore me…”

Darwin said in a low voice.
He raised his sword above his head before he swung it down with all of his might.

“You fucking shit!” Dromas roared as he faced the attack with his powerful punch.

Boom!!

Shockwaves swept out.
There’s nothing that could be destroyed around them.
All the buildings within two kilometers radius were obliterated.
Magma, blood, and light were flooding everything.

‘To think that there is an expert as strong as this one in this place.
With his strength, he could defeat other Grain Leaders.’ Darwin said inwardly while slashing his sword.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

He thrust his sword forward.
He didn’t think that he would fail to hit his opponent.
No, even if Dromas tried to avoid his attack someone would make sure that his attack landed.

“You fucking!!” Dromas cursed loudly as strings of flesh wrapped around his feet.
He was pulled back and a blade pierced his right shoulder.

Argh!!

Then, it was followed by black lightning and white light.
It strikes him repeatedly until he severed the flesh that was wrapped around his feet.

Spurt!

[Holy Vanquish]!

Darwin used one of his powerful combat arts once again.
Suddenly, he tilted his head as something flashed beside him.
His cheek and right ear were peeled off from his face.

‘That’s close…’

He said inwardly before he kicked his opponent and pulled out his sword.
But Dromas grabbed his feet and smashed him on the pool of magma on the ground.

Bang!!

Souta waved his hand as several minuscules [Bestrou] formed around him.
His monster orb and [Nebula Heart] released a huge amount of energy to power this attack.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

Dromas moved his body swiftly as he avoided the rays of energy one by one.
In the next second, he looked up as black lightning rained down along with blood bullets.

‘This attack would demolish any One Shackle Realm… I’ve already assessed his strength.
He’s just an intermediate-rank fourth-stage monster.
If he is late or peak rank then it would be different.’

He said in his mind before he increased his speed.
Even though he was exhausted and injured from battling Darwin, he still had enough strength to deal with this monster.
After all, his [Element Drive] was still active.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Souta could barely follow Dromas’ movement.
The next thing he knew, Dromas hand was already grabbing his face.

He mowed him on the pool of magma as a layer of his skin melted.
Souta swung his sword but Dromas other hand grabbed his shoulder before ripping his entire arm.

Then, Dromas threw him towards Darwin.

“Die together!!”

Dromas roared as he repeatedly punch the air.

[Thousand Blazing Strike]!!

Each punch generated a powerful shockwave that turned into flaming energy.
It boiled the atmosphere as he continued to punch.

Darwin caught Souta and pushed him on the behind.

“Stay behind me!”

He said as he faced the powerful series of attacks.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!

The power of the attack shook the entire field.
It flattened everything within five kilometers.
The tall structures around were melted and tens of thousands of people were caught up in the attack.

Cough! Cough!

Souta was on his knees as he coughed a large amount of blood.
Most of his internal organs were destroyed and his body was covered in heavy injuries.

His skin was gone and some of his bones could be seen sticking out of his muscles.

‘Souta! Souta!’ Saya called out with concern in her voice.

‘I’m fine… I survived…’ Souta replied to her.
His regenerative ability had slowed down considerably.
All this time, he was receiving wounds that could take his life.
Even the orange grade equipment on his body became irreparable.

‘It’s twilight…’ Even though his vision was blocked by the ceiling, he could still feel the time.

He couldn’t even move his body.
He guessed that it would take a minute before the queen parasite fixed his bones and muscle tissues for him to move.

Thud!!

Darwin fell down with grave injuries all over his body.
He did everything he could to prevent further damage to his body but the opponent was simply powerful.

“G-Grain L-Leader Darwin…”

Souta said with great effort.
He focused the regenerative ability of his parasite on his legs to fix his broken bones and muscles.
He stood up and tried to approach Darwin but his legs were still wobbly.

Thud!!

He turned his head as he heard the sound of footsteps.

Dromas was slowly walking toward them with unsteady legs.
His right hand was chopped as blood kept pouring out of it and Darwin’s blade was embedded in his chest.

“Y-You fucking monster… You’re still alive.
Even though your power level is low, your regenerative ability is simply beyond imagination.”

He said as he pulled out the sword on his chest.
Such a monster was dangerous if it grew stronger in the future.

“I’ll fucking make sure to kill you this time.”

He arrived in front of Souta and grabbed his neck.
He looked down at the wounds all over Souta’s body and said, “Your ability had slowed down.
I guess it has a limit.”

Argh!

Souta clasped the hand on his neck.
He tried to break out of it but he didn’t have enough strength.
No, the enemy was also above his level so it’s pretty hard to tell.

“Hehehe!” Souta laughed lightly.

Dromas was confused as he narrowed his eyes.
“Why are you laughing? Is it because you haven’t used your release form, right? Do you think that you would be able to take me down with it?”

“You have no idea… Even though I’m injured and all, I still reserve most of my power while you… You exhausted yourself fighting Grain Leader Darwin.” Souta looked at Dromas in the eyes.
“Let me show you, why everything is within my calculations.”

Ohm!!
