The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 61 - Lumilia's Quest

Chapter 61 - Lumilia's Quest

Souta used [Light Heal] on the palm of Fred. He stopped the bleeding of the wounds before he took out something from his bag. This was a potion to completely heal the wounds.
His skill was only a basic heal skill. It couldn't completely heal any wounds, so to completely heal any wounds without leaving a scar a potion was needed.
"No need." Fred shook his head as he declined the potion that Souta gave. "We also have some potion. No need to use a potion in such shallow wounds."
"Okay." Souta nodded and he placed back the potion in his bag.
"So your name is Cl.u.s.ter?" Lumilia looked at Cl.u.s.ter and asked while patting her head.
"Yes." Cl.u.s.ter nodded meekly.
"Where are your parents?" Lumilia asked her in a gentle tone.
Cl.u.s.ter replied by shaking her head.
"I see... I'm sorry for asking such question. It must be hard for you." Lumilia said as she gently caressed Cl.u.s.ter's head.
Souta looked at Lumilia with a surprised expression. Her tone was different from the usual. She was always putting up a cold front and a strict tone, so it was surprising to see this side of her. He guessed that she was like that because she was seriously taking the responsibility of a class representative in the Institute.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared before them. Those people were wearing leather armor and pants. They were also armed with sharp weapons. They were bandits without a doubt.
Souta just looked at these bandits without saying anything. In fact, he knew that a lot of people were coming in this direction but he got distracted when he listened to Lumilia and Cl.u.s.ter's conversation.
Bryan, Yuko, Lumilia, Fred, Jusmin, and Cl.u.s.ter stopped moving. They turned their heads to looked at the bandits.
Lumilia glared at the bandits. "Who are you?" She opened her mouth and asked them in a cold tone completely different from the one she used on Cl.u.s.ter.
The bandits looked at them with a grin on their face. They looked at them as if they were prey that fell in their traps.
"Oh!" The leader of the bandit stepped forward and looked at Lumilia with lewd eyes. He didn't even bother hiding his desire. "From the looks of it, you're a noble, right?"
"What if I am?" Lumilia replied in a cold tone. She placed her hand on the handle of her sword.
"We're finally going to enjoy some noble after a long time, boys!" The leader said as he looked at Lumilia up and down.
"Yeah!"
"Boss! At least let me enjoy the maid first!"
"Boss! That little girl, can you give her to me? I have a thing for little girl!"
The bandits said in a burst of laughter. They already think that the girls here were their property.
...
Souta looked at the bandit leader and Lumilia. He doesn't know what got the bandit leader's interest in Lumilia. Is it a body? No, Lumilia's b.o.o.b.s were close to none existence and she doesn't have that great curves. If Souta was to say it, Lumilia looks like a child, a loli to be precise.
Souta would prefer the maid over Lumilia. He could see the curves and those well-endowed chests of her through the maid outfit.
He shook his head and removed those thoughts in his mind. He looked at Bryan and thought that he should teach reality to him.
'Okay, I will show him how to handle a situation like this, so he wouldn't make any mistake again.' Souta thought as he nodded to himself.
Souta knew how Bryan think, so he guessed that Bryan would let these bandits go.
Ah~ how shallow.
...
"You started it!" Bryan said as his mana flared up. He clenched his fist gathering his mana around it.
"Otto, don't you see that you're at disadvantage here. We have numbers here. You can't hope to defeat us!" The bandit leader said with an amused expression. "We're going to slowly enjoy those girls, right boys?"
"Yeah!!"
"This sc.u.m!" Jusmin gritted her teeth as she pulled out her sword.
"Stand back, young miss! I will protect you!" Fred said as he stepped forward in front of Lumilia.
"You don't have to worry about me, Fred. I can protect myself." Lumilia said as she pulled out her sword.
"Hmph!" A sneered sounded.
All of them looked at Souta who stood up while patting his clothes.
"I'm grateful... Just like what the maid said before, you're just a lowlife sc.u.m." Souta looked at the bandits and slowly approached them. He stopped in front of the bandit leader. "So..."
Bryan, Yuko, Cl.u.s.ter, Lumilia, Fred, and Jusmin just followed Souta with their eyes.
"Huh?" The bandit leader placed his hand on his ear as if he couldn't hear what Souta was saying.
"...I will not have any second thoughts in killing you." The [Vajra Sword Saya] in Souta's hand emitted a red aura.
[Cross Moon]!
Swoosh!!
A red light flashed and everyone saw a red line in the body of the bandits.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Slowly their upper body fell down on the ground. The face of the bandits showed an expression of shock. It seems that they couldn't believe what happened to them.
Spurt!!
The lower body spurted out fountains of blood in the mid-air. The whole area was dyed in a blood-red color.
Cl.u.s.ter was terrified when she saw the bloody scene. She quickly turned around and covered her ears.
"Eik!" Jusmin felt a little dizzy witnessing such a gore scene. She's just a maid that have knowledge about fighting, so she hadn't seen someone kill people like this.
"He's not an ordinary student. From his reaction, I could see that it's not his first time killing people." Fred narrowed his eyes as he looked fiercely at Souta.
Lumilia subconsciously took a step back while she covered her mouth with her hands.
After all this were their first time seeing someone killed like this in front of them, so it's natural that they felt nausea because of the gore scene.
Souta ignored them as sheathed the Vajra Sword. It was his first time using the skill of his sword. It feels different from using the skill he learned.
Souta closed his eyes and heard a sound in his mind.
*Ding!*
[Experience points reached!]
[You've level up!]
[Strength attributes have increased by 8!]
[Intelligence, Agility, Dexterity, and Vitality attributes have increased by 5!]
[You've received 2 free attribute points!]
[You've received 1 skill point!]
Finally, Souta reached level 19. Just one more level and he will reach the level requirement for the second evolution.
"Souta!!" Bryan walked towards Souta and grabbed his collar.
"Hmm..." Souta looked at Bryan with plain eyes. He saw that Bryan was clearly angry at what he did to the bandits. "Why?" He asked in a plain tone. There's not a hint of emotion in his voice.
"Why did you kill them?" Bryan asked him in a loud voice.
"You know the reason why," Souta replied as he shook his body and fell on the ground.
"But... You don't have to kill them." Bryan said as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
"Is that what you always do in your quest? When you met a bandit did you always let them live?" Souta said stood up while patting his clothes. He turned to look at Bryan's eyes and continued, "You know that the bandits you let go before didn't stop in what they are doing. Because of you they killed and r.a.p.e more people, you know?"
"But..." Bryan lowered his eyes.
Souta narrowed his eyes when looking at Bryan. He then sighed and shrugged his shoulder.
"Okay, let's go now."
Bryan's attitudes didn't really bother him. In fact, he actually liked it. This kind of attitude was the one that would lead him in getting more quest. Like before, if Bryan didn't insist on helping Cl.u.s.ter then Souta wouldn't know about the Great War.
He's just testing if he could influence Bryan easily... But it seems that's not necessary for him. Souta decided that he will do things in the shadows secretly.
Souta turned to Lumilia and asked, "You Class rep, what are you going to do?"
"Um... Young miss, we should go now. This man is dangerous. I don't like that feeling." Jusmin whispered to Lumilia.
"Young miss, we should ask him for help. His strength would help us in a lot of ways." Fred whispered.
Fred and Jusmin have different opinions. One was afraid of Souta because of what he did, while one thought of taking advantage of Souta's strength.
"Young miss... If we don't get it, you know what will the lord say." Fred continued to persuade her.
Lumilia frowned when she remembered her father, the family head of the Asvares Noble Family.
She gritted her teeth and slowly opened her mouth, "Um... S-Souta..."
"Hmm... What is it?" Souta titled his head with a confused expression.
"Um... I want to ask you... If you can help us..." Lumilia stuttered. She wasn't used in asking other people for help.
"Hais... Speak clearly." Souta sighed.
Fred was the one who stepped forward and bowed his head, "We request you if you can lend us your strength to get the Mystical Light Cherry!"
"Hmm...?"
*Ding!*
