The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

[Archetype: Vajra Extremity]!

[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!

A loud thunderclap echoed in the sky as black lightning coated Souta's huge body. It complemented his strength as a gigantic figure with four arms materialized on his back. This figure had two pairs of eyes and horns on the side of its head. It has a semi-transparent body that was made of lightning.

It slowly opened its eyes and looked at the man. The terrifying aura that it possessed was something that the man had never felt before. Just like a god.

After all, the Archetype was a skill for those who want to ascend godhood. It wasn't something that a mortal could easily learn. Only people that broke five shackles had the right to learn this type of skill. For monsters, it was equivalent to a fifth evolution monster.

Although his Archetype has a low power due to his limited power level, it was still enough for him to severely injure and maybe kill an S-rank powerhouse.

It has the potential.

"Let me break you!"

Souta roared as he swung his sword and the twenty-meter tall figure behind him turned into a torrent of energy that rushed towards the man.

The man wanted to retreat but he found that a powerful gravity was pushing him towards that attack. His face turned pale as he realized that he couldn't block the attack with his current power.

He would die. He would die for sure.

The torrent of energy swallowed his entire body and the energy turned into a grinder that twisted every object inside it.

"NOOOOOO!!!!"

The man roared as his body was gradually turning into a bloody mist.

Blood poured out of his seven orifices and his internal organs were crushed.

His four limbs were twisted as blood spurted out of it.

...

The woman was confused when she saw the six shadows disappear leaving one shadow. The last shadow suddenly turned around and left.

"What is happening?"

She whispered to herself. Then, a sudden explosion shook her to the core as the aura in the atmosphere skyrocketed to the point that it brought pressure on her body.

Her eyes constricted as the bell on her waist turned into dust. This bell was a treasure that she used to create the barrier around the entire auction house. If it turned into dust, it only means one thing.

"This?!"

She quickly looked up and saw the barrier was shattered. A huge gaping hole could be seen on the barrier.

"Shit! What happened?!"

She gritted her teeth and took out a bottle with a single pill inside it. She removed the cap and placed the pill inside her mouth.

This pill could recover her health and mana. She still had three left in her pouch so she guessed that it was enough to handle the monster.

"It's been a few minutes... I need to finish it before the authorities of this city enter the barrier through that hole."

She muttered as she flew in the direction where her comrade was fighting the monster.

Swoosh!

...

"Huff... Huff..."

Souta looked down as he heard the system prompt in his mind saying that he killed the man. The attack before was too powerful and his body couldn't handle it.

Although he could use the Archetype skill now, he still have to be wary if he wanted to use the fifth form and above of [Archetype: Vajra Extremity]. To use the fifth form, Souta even canceled some of his active skills so that he could control it.

He looked at his hand which turned into bones without any flesh. Gradually the flesh covered the bones and turned into a fresh hand.

"It hurts..."

He gritted his teeth as he opened and closed his palm. The fifth form had a powerful backlash on his body so it resulted in his hand turning into bones.

"I wouldn't even dare to use it without parasite."

He muttered as he turned his head on the hole in the barrier.

'You're just a third evolution monster so it will burden your body if you used the Archetype. At the very least, you had a killing strike which you lack.' Saya said to him.

"Then, the remaining one..."

Souta turned his head and narrowed his eyes. The woman was stronger than the man he just killed so the difficulty in killing her was high. Well, it was nothing compared to battling them at the same time.

He was lucky that he managed to separate the man and woman, and clearly they underestimated him. It allows him to separate the two.

"This will be a tough battle."

Without saying another word, he launched himself on the woman. He flicked his finger and the web that was attached on the handle of the vajra sword was pulled.

The vajra sword flew towards his palm. He wrapped his finger around it and layers of flesh covered the sword once again.

[Crimson Moon]!!

Hmph!

The woman snorted as she tightened her grip on her sword. Then, she swung it and their weapons collided causing a powerful shockwave.

BOOM!

[Watching Prey]!

Souta and the woman exchanged blows a thousand times. Every second shockwave burst out in every direction. The ripples of energy circled around the area.

They didn't even know that the people on the surface and other floors had died because of their battle. It doesn't matter to the two as they only wanted to kill the opponent in front of them.

[Element Drive: Wind Force]!

The woman used a powerful ability unique to the people that only had wind elemental affinity. Power gusts of wind swept out like a hurricane as it clashed with Souta's terrifying attack.

Boom!!

'She even knew [Element Drive].' Souta's grin grew wider as he created a gravity field to suppress the sharp winds.

"Just die!"

The woman swung her hand and Souta looked up. A gigantic tornado crashed down on his body from above. The black savage armor on his body was slowly turning into dust.

BOOM!

His body was smashed on the ground and the tornado didn't stop. It continued to grind his body as his blood splattered in the area.

"Fuck! This is great!"

Ohm!

He gathered his energy on his palm and pushed it towards the tornado.

[Dark Shooting Ray]!

An enormous black beam swallowed the tornado. It tore everything in sight before it exploded on the barrier that caused another hole in it.

BOOM!

Souta saw the woman flying at him in his field of vision. The woman was carrying a powerful energy as if she wanted to eliminate him in one attack.

"As if that's possible."

He smiled as he activated the equipment skill called [Insta-Regen]. The [Insta-Regen] could instantly recover forty percent of his mana but in his case, his energy only recovered by a mere ten percent. After all, the energy he had wasn't mana.

It was enough to lengthen the duration of his released form.

"Then, how about this?!"

[Silver Desolation]! [Flame Carpet]!

The whole field turned into a burning place as pillars of flames would soar on the sky every second. Then, it was followed by a silver metal tsunami. The silver metal was radiating a powerful heat thanks to the [Flame Carpet].

The burning silver liquid rushed towards the woman.

The two equipment skill complemented each other. Most of his equipment right now was red grade so he could go toe to toe with a peak S-rank with his current strength.

The only people who could potentially kill him were the shackled realm experts. No matter how strong an S-rank the woman was, she wouldn't be able to kill him with all of his aces.

Two tornadoes bore down and collided with the silver liquid.

BOOM!

The woman gritted her teeth and she took out another pill. She ate it and felt that her mana and health had returned to her body. With all the pills that she had, she could fight for another hour using her full strength but she wondered about her opponent. The released form wouldn't last that long.

And in the end, she would win this battle.

Souta stood without attacking her personally. He just kept controlling the silver liquid to attack her and it confused the woman.

'What is this monster trying to do? His time will be up if this keeps up.' She narrowed her eyes. Then, she saw a shadow appear on Souta's side.

The shadowed stretched out its hand and presented a fist-size orb.

'That?! A monster orb?!' She opened her eyes widely when she saw it.

Souta grabbed the orb and smiled widely. This was what he wanted from the beginning. If the woman could use pills to recover her mana and health, then why couldn't he use a monster orb to lengthen the duration of his released form by absorbing the energy inside it.

"This will be your end."

The energy inside the fifth evolution monster orb flowed inside his body and it slowly filled his monster orb. For the excess energy...

Souta pointed his sword at the woman and used his body as a medium.

A large concentration of best feram gathered on the tip of his sword.

[Bestrou]!!
