The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 391 - Battle in the Prison World

Chapter 391 - Battle in the Prison World

The Prison World. It's a world that the Great Astley Empire used to place all the creatures that they've captured. They were torturing people in this world who confronted the empire. They were punishing people until the prisoners lose their life.
It was a brutal place full of wanted criminals in the Great Astley Empire.
Souta, Isabella, Lydia, and Yuko were inside a magic circle. Outside the magic circle was a huge army. Countless people have surrounded them. All of them were soldiers of the Great Astley Empire. Aside from the soldiers, dozens of sh.i.p.s were floating above as if it was ready to fight in a war.
"There are so many of them..." Lydia said in a grave tone. The numbers of the enemy were fearsome.
"How could this be...?" Isabella was stunned as her face was slowly turning pale. She couldn't help but become nervous looking at the countless soldiers around them.
'Fighting so many of them is going to be a problem.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.
'Yeah, it's a big problem plus I could feel the fluctuations of more than twenty B-rank powerhouses.' Souta replied to her as he glanced at his system.
*Ding!*
[Quest 1 completed!]
[You've gained 15,000 exp, 10 free attribute points, and 8 skill points!]
[Quest 2 unlocked!]
[Great Astley Empire] Quest 2: Assist Lydia in escaping the army of the Great Astley Empire.
Rewards: 20,000 exp, 15 free attribute points, and 8 skill points
The rewards were almost the same as the quest 1. Well, Souta could understand it as the quest this time wasn't to kill the enemy commanders. They had to escape from this place as soon as possible.
But the question was how could they escape from these countless soldiers?
It's going to be hard. Just fighting two commanders already forced Souta to use the [Soul Blood Mode] just to kill them. Luckily, he had Yuko with him to decrease his burden.
"Hu~ I should've brought Alice with me."
He exhaled and said as he looked around trying to find the easiest path to get out of here.
"Don't worry Master. I will protect you."
Yuko's small voice sounded like she was confident. The numbers of the enemy didn't even make her nervous.
"It's okay. Just focus on protecting Isabella and I will do everything for us to get out of this place."
Souta said to her with a smile. He looked down and saw that the people that died in the Blackrock City were still around. Denver, Vagua, and Jayce's bodies were lying on the ground along with the soldiers of the enemy and citizens of the city.
He could feel that some of them were still alive. Yeah, even the city lord who welcomed him was barely alive but he has a huge injury in his body. It was just a matter of time before he lost his life.
'Well, I will not let you felt anymore pain.'
Souta said inwardly as he tapped his toe on the ground and several black spikes emerged from it. The black spikes pierced the bodies around them.
One of the soldiers stepped out and looked at Souta's group several hundred meters away. He opened his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Traitor Lydia and the folks from another world. This is where you will meet your end. I admire your strength for killing three commanders but this is where it ends."
His voice had mana within so it resounded in the whole area.
"That's General Asimon, one of the greatest fighters in the Great Astley Empire. The two behind him are General Albert and Warden Mackenzie. They are also powerful." Lydia said with a gloomy expression.
Souta ignored them as he activated the [Harvester of the Soul] and gathered the lingering souls in this place.
[Harvester of the Soul] Soul Collected(Left Piece): 2,400/2,400
[Harvester of the Soul] Soul Collected(Left Piece): 2,500/2,500
...
[Harvester of the Soul] Soul Collected(Left Piece): 1,320/4,000
He placed all the 160 points that he got in his agility attribute making his base agility a total of 978 points. If he added the plus stats of his equipment then his agility already surpassed 1,000 points.
With the great increase in his agility, Souta felt that his body was getting lighter when in fact his weight didn't change.
"If you surrender I will make it easy for you!" General Asimon said in a loud voice. "I will give you one minute to think about it. I just hope that you don't disappoint me, Lydia. You're one of the most trusted commanders so no one expected your betrayal."
Souta cracked his neck as he already finished his preparation. Why don't these guys just disappeared so that he could finish his evolution? Well, he wasn't that rushing it as there were still so many souls in front of him.
He slowly opened his mouth and said to his comrades, "Prepare yourself, we're going to fight our way out of this place. Lydia, bring Isabella with you. Yuko and I will be on the front. Just follow the two of us and kept running."
Swoosh!
The two generals and warden looked at them with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"So they refused to surrender?"
"Well, start firing the cannons."
The floating sh.i.p.s in the sky charged its cannon one by one. The cannons charged a large amount of mana before firing it at the group.
Boom!
A loud sound erupted as dozens of sh.i.p.s discharged a powerful beam at Souta's group.
Souta jumped in the air and he poured his mana on his sword.
[Crimson Moon]!!
Blades of energy flew out of his sword and it collided with the beams from the cannon causing a powerful explosion.
Boom!
At the same time, black mist oozed out of Souta's body and it quickly spread out in the whole area. It enveloped everything within four kilometers of diameter in black mist.
Explosions occurred strongly inside the black mist. It shook the entire ground as the sh.i.p.s didn't stop firing at all. Dozens of light beams were flying out of the sh.i.p.s every second.
The soldiers of the empire felt the shockwaves and some of them got caught up with the explosions. They were just several hundred meters away from Souta and the black mist shrouded everything within four kilometers so the people in the front got caught up.
What's terrifying was inside the black mist? Ordinary soldiers couldn't see through it so they could only hear the screams of the soldiers along with the sound of explosions.
Black tentacles filled everything inside the black mist. Souta wasn't reserving his mana anymore. He was going all out at this moment to take out as many as he could.
The two generals, the warden, and dozens of commanders were inside the black mist. They narrowed their eyes as they felt the energy of Souta kept moving forward. They haven't taken out any of them and instead, their soldiers were the ones getting killed every second.
"Prepare yourself..."
Suddenly, they felt intense pressure burst out.
All of them opened their eyes widely as they understood what it meant.
"Dragon's energy...?"
"They had a dragon in their group... but how could we not see it before...?"
"How...?"
The two generals knitted their brows tightly. They know how dangerous a dragon is. Yes, they could handle a dragon but the casualties that they will receive for taking down a dragon weren't small.
It will take an entire military of a country just to defeat a single dragon. But in the case of the army that they've brought, they had the power of several countries combines but they still couldn't imagine how many would die and sh.i.p.s that will be destroyed if they confronted a dragon.
But then it was out of their expectations that something aside dragon appeared before them.
Roar!!
A huge flaming bear charged at them with a fierce look on its face. The dragon's energy was coming out of this bear.
What?! How could this bear use the dragon's energy?!
The bear opened its mouth and flames gushed out of it.
Swoosh!
The attack was a wide range so it blocked all of their escape routes except for moving backward. But they weren't going to do that. They worked together to block the flames that were coming in front of them.
Boom!
While Yuko was keeping them busy, Souta and the rest moved to the other side. They were going to focus themselves on escaping this place.
Swoosh!
"Just go ahead."
Souta said to Lydia who was carrying Isabella. He then charged towards the group of soldiers and used his skills to annihilate them.
Boom!
