The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 668: War in Subterranean World: Battle

Chapter 668: War in Subterranean World: Battle

"N-No... We're close..."
Airi said while looking at the huge ball of fire. Suddenly, a foot landed in front of her and it blocked her vision. She looked up and saw that it was Souta.
"If I say I got your back, trust me. You don't have to look back to see if I'm still there. I'll always be." Souta said to her before he turned around. "Don't look back. Take your siblings and get out of this place."
"I..." Airi forced herself to stand. She glanced at her siblings and saw that both of them lost consciousness.
"They are fine. They just fainted. The warriors outside will help you treat your injuries so hurry up." Souta said.
"T-Thank you, b-brother... I'll always be in your debt. Thank you for saving us." Airi said before she picked both of her siblings. She then ran towards the gate without looking back.
Souta sighed before he glanced at her back. He smiled and said, "Well, it's not that bad."
He shook his head and focused his attention ahead. Something occurred that he didn't expect. In that explosion, three warriors died instantly.
Looking at the giant ball of fire, he knew that Shackled Realm experts had arrived.
The Solidifying Realm experts that were chasing him were on the sidelines watching the event unfold. With the appearance of Shackled Realm, they had to be cautious as it could cause their deaths.
The situation was dangerous.
Time seems to stop as more and more experts had arrived. They were in the mid-air without moving yet their mana was circulating very fast around their bodies. Some of them were injured as they just clearly experienced battle.
'Three hundred...' Souta had a gloomy look on his face.
What makes it troublesome was the person that caused the explosion. It was dangerous since that person possessed an overwhelming aura.
This man had his hand above his head as the huge ball of fire floated on top of his hand. He had long red hair tied in a ponytail on the back of his head. He was wearing a black tunic with various ornaments around it.
Souta could even feel the pressure coming from the man's presence. He moved his eyes and glanced in Airi's direction. When he saw that she was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If a battle of this scale suddenly occurred while she was here then he wouldn't be able to guarantee her safety. But it's still not safe unless she got out of the barrier. The battle power of this man was above him and if he released his energy there was a chance that it would affect her.
'Let's wait for a bit more...' Souta said inwardly.
'Don't do anything reckless. Continue to observe...' Saya warned him in a serious tone.
'Yeah, I know...'
Souta said to her. He looked around and several people that he knew.
'Grain Leader Carmel? That one is the leader of Sixth Grain Wise, Arse...! Also, Grain Leader Yemi is here!!'
He was shocked as he recognized three Grain Leaders around. There were even high-ranked warriors here. If they were here then that man must be...
An executive?!
Souta's expression turned gloomy.
The man was the eleventh executive, Crusz. He was powerful in his own right and no one could deny it.
Crusz looked around as he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Do you really think that dividing us executives will make you win this war? It's good but I hope you make it entertaining for me. I'm getting bored all this time waiting for you warriors to come."
His expression turned mad. He grinned maniacally as he turned the giant fireball on the ground.
"For the opening strike!"
[Blazing Floor Carpet]!!!
"Shit!!" Souta cursed as he jumped in the mid-air and crossed his arms in front of him. Then, a wall of blood emerged from the ground.
Boom!!
Once the fireball landed on the ground, the fire spread out as it flooded the entire area with a radius of five hundred meters. Hundreds of houses were set on fire instantly.
This spell was only harmful to low-level experts. Its main effect was to increase the power of the fire attribute combat arts and spells.
The reason why Souta blocked it was that it could affect the children. Airi hasn't traveled far enough. She was closed and he could sense that some of the Fourth Set warriors were approaching her.
"Good job." Souta smiled.
Boom!
The energy erupted out from the bodies of the experts around. They protected their bodies from flames as the warriors and Red Matter clashed.
The three Grain Leaders surrounded Crusz and they attacked him at the same time.
Boom!! Boom!!
A powerful shockwave swept out and it destroyed his wall of blood. Crusz and the three Grain Leaders were going all out. It will be hard to approach their battle with all these shockwaves.
"Mnahahaha!" Crusz laughed as Yemi kicked him in the stomach.
Bang!
His body was blasted hundreds of meters above the surface. It was followed by a ray of light that Carmel fired. An explosion occurred but Carmel continued to fire his attacks.
"Let's go!"
Yemi and Arse flew towards the smoke. They didn't even give Crusz a time to recover as both of them delivered a powerful blow to his stomach.
Bang!
The impact of their punch dispersed the smoke and they could see that Crusz still had that smile on his face.
Souta was observing their battle. After making sure that Airi was safe, he stepped forward. It's time for him to join the battle.
He said before that he would demolish them. They even gave children a bomb.
He took a deep breath and circulated his energy around his body. Looking at the battles in front of him, his eyes turned cold.
Warriors were fighting their enemies with burning determination. Some of them had died as their corpses fell on the ground.
A few S-rank experts landed in front of him.
"This guy didn't even move!"
"Are you scared of dying?!"
"Hahaha!"
The S-rank experts laughed as they slowly approached him.
Souta smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm scared of dying but... I'm not afraid of some weaklings like you."
"Huh?!" The S-rank experts were confused.
Souta stepped forward and the air around him changed.
Ohm!
An invisible pressure spread out of him. All the S-rank in this place, including his allies, felt a chill on their spine. They felt strength leaving their bodies and it rooted them on the spot. It feels like an apex predator was staring at them.
[Serpent Dominance]!
"W-What's this...?!"
The S-rank experts' expressions changed. Their complexion turned pale as Souta slowly walked in their direction.
"I-I couldn't muster a-any strength...!"
They subconsciously took a step back before they fell on their butt. Beads of sweat formed on their forehead as goosebumps appeared on their body.
"Just die for me." Souta swung his sword. The next moment, the heads of the S-rank experts rolled in mid-air before it landed on the ground.
"You guys don't have a place on this battlefield."
He raised his other hand as the blood of the people that he just killed left their bodies. With a flick of his finger, blood bullets shoot in every direction targeting the people from the Red Matter and rebels.
His skill immobilizes all the Solidifying Realm and below within a radius of one kilometer. There's no differentiation. Even his fellow warriors were affected by it.
A few seconds had only passed yet someone at Shackled Realm already appeared before him.
"That's some dangerous skill you have there! It deals with weak people!"
The man said in a low voice as he thrust the golden spear in his hand.
Souta didn't say anything. He simply tried to block the spear but he realized that the force behind it was several times stronger than he expected.
Boom!
A ring-shaped shockwave exploded from the point of impact. Souta couldn't handle the power so his body was thrown like a cannonball. He crashed on the walls causing a huge dent to it.
Ugh! Damn!
Souta stood up and noticed that he was bleeding. The strength of this person was higher than what he expected. A Two Shackles Realm expert was capable of giving him an injury with little effort.
'The Squad Leaders should be the ones dealing with this person. My base form is weaker than them.' He complained in his heart as he wiped the blood in the corner of his mouth.
He looked up and understood why this person got free from the hands of other warriors. His [Serpent Dominance] affected his fellow warriors.
S-rank warriors were working together to fight a Shackled Realm but since his skill affected them, the enemy easily defeated them. Even though he killed a bunch of enemies before, the Shackled Realm warriors still got their hands full as the number of enemies was higher.
'Damn, this skill is for fighting an army alone.'
