The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 680: War in Subterranean World: Fall of Aranhgrad

Chapter 680: War in Subterranean World: Fall of Aranhgrad

Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire surface of the Aranhgrad was instantly flattened by Avron's attack. It was a powerful folded space that grinded everything in its path.
Even the Hippogriff was nailed to the ground. The dominating power of space erased all the flames and winds. It could hardly resist such attack made by a powerful expert.
"Shit! The runes are exploding one by one but... I think it's enough to last until the [Monster Orb Release] ends."
Avron said as he wiped the blood on his face. His body was full of injuries and even with the help of Archetype, red-grade equipment, [Element Drive], and Aranhgrad, he could hardly suppress this lone monster.
To defeat this Hippogriff, he would at least need his executives to support him so that he wouldn't suffer any life-threatening injuries. But it was too late now, he already finished arranging their path to survive. He was alone once again.
ROAR!!!
"PUNY HUMANS!! I'LL KILL YOU! SHOW ME THE POWER YOU'RE PROUD OF!!"
The Hippogriff roar reverberated across the entire three nations. Its huge body rose from the ground as best feram bore down directly interrupting the flow of mana in the atmosphere.
It was radiating with unbound power.
It opened its mouth loudly and small dots of energy appeared in thin air. The small dots gathered together forming a huge sphere of berserk energy. It shrunk before it fired thousands of red rays.
[Bestrou]!!
"Don't underestimate the Aranhgrad! Even though it's old and rusty, it still came from the ancient era and a fortress built by a god itself!"
Avron roared as various runes emitted a strange light. Darkness wrapped around his hands as he tore through the space.
Boom!!
A loud bang echoed as the space shattered. The fragment of space turned into sharp blades as it collided with the energy rays. Then, darkness swept out above and shot down like a lightning.
The Terror Gale Hippogriff flapped its wings. It was followed by a powerful gust of wind that collided with the darkness from above.
Swoosh!!
Avron emerged from the sea of flames and he pounced at the Terror Gale Hippogriff.
"Die! Human!" The Hippogriff said as it swung down its sharp claws.
Avron crossed his arms above his head as he blocked the sharp claws. Cracks formed underneath his feet as he felt his arms going numb.
ARGH!!!
He roared madly with a ferocious look on his face. He wasn't intimidated even though he was facing a powerful fifth stage monster alone.
He raised his left foot and heavily stomped the ground. A magic circle formed beneath his foot and after a few moments, the ground changed.
[Darkness Weaver]!!
The ground turned into sticky black mud. It slowly wrapped the limbs of the Hippogriff. A low-grade tier 3 spell could affect the target's physical body. It was a spell that could lower the target's defense by wrapping them with thick black mud.
Bang!
Avron vomited a mouthful of blood. He felt that the bones in his hands were going to break if he continue this.
"Ehe~ I don't think you can escape from this..."
He laughed as he stared at the Terror Gale Hippogriff's eyes. He eased his arms and the sharp claws crashed into his body. He was nailed to the ground covered in blood. Nevertheless, the grin on his face hasn't disappeared.
The Terror Gale Hippogriff was alarmed after seeing Avron's eyes. The instinct kicked in as it felt danger.
Avron slowly opened his mouth, "Fucking monster... Just die..."
Before the Hippogriff could even react a huge ray of light crashed into its body. The flames and winds around its body were dispersed and all of its defense was shattered instantly.
The ray of light pushed it out of the Aranhgrad, smashing into its leg before finally crashing into the three nations.
It was followed by a deafening sound that reverberated throughout the entire subterranean world. A rapid release of energy occurred as the wind blows strongly. It was followed by a heat wave that could burn the skin of a Shackled Realm expert. Then, a blinding light shone as the explosion erupted.
BOOM!!!
Everything within a radius of twenty kilometers from the impact was swallowed by the explosion. And the area around it was also affected by powerful shockwaves.
"W-What?!"
Vandal who was watching the battle was stupefied after seeing this. Looking down, he could see the destructiveness of that attack.
He didn't know the outcome of this battle. The appearance of the Terror Gale Hippogriff wasn't within his expectations but it opened a possibility for him. It gave him a chance to stop, no, to defeat Avron.
Ugh!
Avron stood up. He was weary and felt tired. He wanted to rest but he had to force himself to finish what he started. No matter what people called him, he would follow this path.
"I used some of the energy in Project Sicily. Those people would try to kill me if they learned about this."
He mumbled to himself as he glanced at the bright energy sphere close to the ceiling of the subterranean world. Using the power of Project Sicily heavily taxed his body.
Project Sicily...
Was an object that was created using various highly classified materials and the boundless energy of the Aranhgrad. In fact, this was one of the things he needed to accomplish but it wasn't his goal. Someone just asked him to forge this object.
He didn't know the true uses of this object. The ray of light before was caused by Project Sicily by infusing the runes of Aranhgrad, creating a reaction that burst energy rays.
As for his true goal...
Avron turned his attention to the rings on his fingers.
"A little bit more and the Spatial Gem with be completed."
A gem with the ability to borrow and control space. It was beneficial to him as it would greatly boost his Archetype. Due to its strangeness when infused with Archetype, he would be able to promote easily to the next level, the Eight Shackles Realm.
All of this was within the inheritance that he got from the God of Space.
The Aranhgrad was just a tool to forge those objects. Awakening it took a long time and a lot of preparation but now... He could feel that it was collapsing. Still, even if it collapsed, the Spatial Gem would be completed.
Hmm...?
Avron sensed something as he slowly turned around. He saw Vandal looking at him with determined eyes.
"Gahaha, Are you happy? That fucking monster is still alive and I have to finish it."
He laughed as he faced his childhood friend.
"I know... But I will stop you first." Vandal said without changing his expression.
The ground shook as one of the limbs of Aranhgrad collapsed. Its giant metallic limb crashed on the three nations, burying the Terror Gale Hippogriff on the ground.
It was still alive but it took heavy damage from taking that energy ray from Project Sicily head-on. It wouldn't be able to move for a while.
"Hehehe, come! Show me your will! Vandal!!" Avron roared as he charged forward.
Swoosh!!
Vandal also dashed forward and both of their bodies wrestled on top of Aranhgrad while it was plummeting toward the ground.
Boom!!
Souta glanced at the three nations with a grave look on his face. In this situation, only experts would be able to survive the things that were happening in that place.
The giant fortress was collapsing and parts of it were crashing down the land, burying countless people. It was even hard to tell how many warriors would survive in the end.
Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rose, forming a mushroom of smoke. It was as if the end of the world. No, for people of the subterranean world this was really the end of the world. Their world was this place.
Even the ceiling was shaking nonstop as cracks were spreading out. The runes that were strengthening it were flickering dimly.
Bang!!
The Aranhgrad crashed on the ground and slid in their direction. From the looks of it, the fortress was going to crash on the passage. If that happens, Souta and the rest would be stuck here for a long time.
A lot of people saw this scene and their expressions quickly turned pale. They were terrified to the point that they couldn't even move their bodies.
"N-No!"
"W-We are going to die!"
The size of Aranhgrad was no joke. It was as huge as one of the three nations. It could even house millions of people on its surface but seeing this giant fortress coming at them... shook them to the core.
"Mama!!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Help me!"
Some of the people gave up as they fell to their knees. Some of them hugged their family members as they close their eyes preparing for their deaths.
"This is bad."
Souta looked behind and saw that a lot of people were hurrying towards the exit. He looked at the warriors of the Fourth Set and said, "Warriors, don't fall back! We can do this!"
