The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Chapter 66 - Next Quest


Chapter 66 - Next Quest

Souta packed the container inside his bag. He stood up and said, "You can rest here. After we rest, we will head to get the Mystical Light Cherry for class rep."

Bryan and Fred nodded at him. They sat down and tried to recover their energy as fast as possible.

"How about you?" Jusmin asked him.

"Me, I'm going to see what's this undead," Souta said as he walked towards the Undead Cyclops.

Lumilia just looked at him before she closed her eyes.

Souta sat down in front of the Undead Cyclops and sliced a piece of its meat. He placed it inside the other container that he bought.

It's one of the requirements for his next evolution, the meat of the level 20 and above undead.

Now that he acquired all the materials needed for his next evolution, the only thing he needed was to level up to twenty. He doesn't need to worry about that now as his priority was to complete Lumilia's quest. The rewards of her quest were the highest all of the quest he received ever since he came here in this world.

He will undergo evolution once he finished this quest. After that, he will focus on leveling up his class. Currently, he was just a Rank 1 Mage. To promote to Rank 2 Mage, he needed to level up once of his specialty to level 10. Leveling up a spell was completely different from leveling up a combat arts like his [Stab] skill. It was different from combat arts that could be trained to level up.

The spell was made up of a magic circle. He needed to know how to build up a magic circle without relying on his system. This was the reason why he enrolled in the Ladro Institute.

...

The group rested inside the boss room for almost an hour.

They recovered some of their energy in this time, so Souta lead them out of the dungeon.

"Ho~ that undead was crazy strong," Bryan said after they got out the dungeon.

"Don't worry about it, you have the potential to surpass it," Souta commented.

Lumilia agreed at him. She knew that Bryan had four affinities and only powerful people possessed four affinities. In the future, Bryan would become one too with proper training.

"Okay, prepare yourself. Our opponent this time isn't some mindless undead." Souta clapped and said. "The battle this time will be hard, harder than conquering the dungeon, so be prepared. The nobles from both Hebrei Kingdom and Melosa Country will be our opponents. Also, some of the high-level adventurers will be there to get the Mystical Light Cherry."

Lumilia, Fred, and Jusmin nodded with a gloomy expression. They knew that it will become a fierce battle if the nobles from other countries were involved in this fight.

"Bring it on," Bryan said with a smile. He was excited to fight strong people from another country.

"But something is strange here..." Souta said as he looked around.

"Something is strange?" Bryan looked at Souta with a questioning gaze.

Souta looked at them and asked, "Are any of you familiar with this forest?"

"No, this is my first time here." Bryan shook his head.

"We came here before but we didn't enter this deep," Fred said.

Souta nodded in understanding. He opened his mouth and said, "In the books, they said that we shouldn't enter the inner part of the Desolate Woods if we don't have enough strength."

"Yeah, why?" Jusmin nodded and asked.

"In this part of the forest, there's a lot of powerful monsters. Two types of these monsters even possess a monster orb. So why we haven't met those monsters?" Souta carefully said to them.

"Do you mean..." Fred looks like he understood what Souta was saying.

"Yeah, I think someone with enough power came here and killed those monsters," Souta said.

"But, why? Mystical Light Cherry is nothing to someone that powerful." Fred asked.

"I don't know their reason but it seems that we need to be extra careful in getting the Mystical Light Cherry," Souta said.

Fred looked at Lumilia and asked, "Young miss, what should we do?"

Lumilia lowered her head. She was having a hard time deciding what to do. She couldn't let Fred and Jusmin to be put in danger because of her decision.

"Don't worry, young miss. No matter what you do I will support you." Jusmin said.

"M-Me too... Don't worry about me. I don't want you to worry about me. I can run anytime and I'm confident about this." Cl.u.s.ter slowly raised her hand and said meekly.

Souta smiled looking at them. He opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry about it. When the time comes, I will do anything to get that Mystical Light Cherry for you."

Lumilia lifted up her head and looked at him in the eyes.

"Hahaha, yeah we will help you." Bryan laughed and said.

...

Somewhere in the forest...

"Ah~ where's the one that will become a sacrifice for our God," Julius said while looking around at his surroundings.

"We will arrive there soon," Carmilla replied to him.

These two people were the commandments of the God's Will cult.

They came here to retrieve the body of a certain god from ancient times. They didn't know have much information about that god as a lot of information about the ancient era was gone. Only a few pieces of information were passed down and a lot of people treated that information as a sacred treasure.

"For the love of our god. We must complete this mission as soon as possible." Julius said.

"Naturally, we couldn't afford to fail this mission," Carmilla said. She then stopped moving and looked in the sky. She opened her mouth and said, "Someone is coming here."

"He~ more sacrifice," Julius said as he opened his arms widely.

"They didn't even bother hiding their aura." Carmilla smiled.

With her power, she could sense people who didn't bother to hide their aura a few kilometers away. Especially, those people clearly had hostility while coming in this direction. So it's not that surprising that she felt those people.

Carmilla shook her head and said, "They didn't even realize that they will only become a sacrifice if they went here."

...

A middle-aged man was heading towards the Desolate Woods at a fast speed.

The middle-aged man had an angry expression on his face. He has blonde hair that was comb behind his head. His pupils were gleaming with an intent to kill.

"How dare you kill my son?" He said with an angry expression.

A few hours ago, he sensed that the life force of his son disappeared in the Desolate Woods so he quickly flew towards it. He had a special bloodline where he could sense the life force of his descendants and know their location. Those descendants of his could provide him their power through his connection with them.

He was going to kill the one who killed his son. He couldn't contain his rage anymore.

...

Back in the Dry Gulch Town.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Head, a lot of nobles died in the inner part of the Desolate Woods according to some adventurer that went there."

"The heck! This is bad!!"

The Head of the town received a report that a lot of people with backgrounds died in the Desolate Woods.

The Head was shocked when he received such reports. Since this town was closest to the Desolate Woods, the backer of those people would naturally question him about this.

He needed to come up a with report and know the truth about their death in the Desolate Woods.

"This is getting bad. Something is happening in the Desolate Woods." The Head gritted his teeth.

He stood up and looked at his assistant and said, "Prepare my armor, I will go there myself to investigate it."

The assistant nodded and bowed his head before he left.

The Head looked at his assistant's retreating figure before he walked towards the window and looked at the direction of the Desolate Woods.

Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura coming to his direction.

"Hais... They are here. I need to come up with an excuse." He couldn't help but sigh. He knew he was no match about those powerful nobles from large countries.

He could only curse those idiot second generation that only relies on their parents.

"Damn, who would have the guts to kill those idiots!"

...

Souta and the rest stood in their place with wide eyes.

In front of them were the bodies of dead monsters, demis, and humans. The whole area was dyed in red because of the blood of dead creatures.

"This...?" Jusmin covered her mouth with her hand. She was shocked by what's in front of her.

"Young miss..." Fred muttered as he turned his head and looked at Lumilia.

Lumilia swallowed her saliva. To think that what Souta said before was true.

Souta observed the corpses around them and he even saw monsters with a monster orb. There's even a people wearing a knight armor.

"Hahaha, this is bad news." He could only smile wryly at this scene. He had an idea of how powerful the person that could do this violence.
