The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 768 Battle In The Poison Swamp

Chapter 768 Battle In The Poison Swamp

"Twilight?" Alexander was confused.
"Yep, it's twilight..." Souta nodded without explaining much.
"Then, should we move forward?" Alexander asked.
"It's such a waste if we didn't use this time to snatch some things..." Souta was a little bit excited. At this time, he was in his strongest form. His stamina, energy, and health recovery had increased by twenty percent.
He could feel it.
Alexander was about to say disagree when he felt a slight mana fluctuation in the atmosphere. Souta also felt the fluctuation in the air. Both of them turned their heads in the direction where they felt the energy.
"This is..." Alexander narrowed his eyes.
"Perfect timing..." Souta grinned widely. Then, he glanced at Alexander and asked, "What about you? You can't use your energy, right? If you want you can leave it to me."
"No, I will go too. I'm afraid that you will kill everyone." Alexander said.
"Oh, come on, man!" Souta waved his hand. "Even though I'm a monster, I still have some morals you know. I will not kill anyone who didn't provoke me. If I just started killing anyone, the warriors from the Athen's Champion will be the first ones to attack me since I'm part of their legion so they are responsible for me."
"I know but you killed everyone that arrive in the desert, right?" Alexander said.
"Oh, that... I accidentally killed them. Even the people that excuse themselves were caught in the battle. It's not my fault. The strength of the guardian isn't something I could underestimate."
Souta recalled Casti's group. She wanted to leave before the battle started but the guardian arrived so the aftershocks killed her. Well, he didn't plunder her soul so she could try it in her next life. As for the others, there's no hope for them since he plundered their souls.
"That's what I'm worried about. It looks like you are about to lose control any second. Just like those monsters in the monster tide where they couldn't control their emotion. Their instinct consumed them and became a mindless killing machine." Alexander said.
"Hmm... Well, if you want to come with me then let's hurry up." Souta shrugged his shoulders.
...
Yaniesvyl and Dream were standing in front of a purple barrier. Both of them could feel ominous energy inside this barrier. This frequency only comes from Extreme Poison Field.
"This is it..." Dream narrowed his eyes.
"But the problem is that this barrier is Six Layers Poison Array. We can't carelessly attack it. It has offensive capabilities." Yaniesvyl said.
"But we don't have a choice. If we wait longer, Lady Heimbra will finish the refinement of the Extreme Poison Field." Dream said in a grave tone.
"You're right. Our comrades are fighting the other members of the Poison Demon Palace. We can't let them wait for too long." Yaniesvyl nodded.
They were about to attack when two people walked out of the barrier.
Yaniesvyl and Dream opened their eyes widely.
"Why are the two protectors of the Poison Demon Palace here?!"
Poison Demon Palace had four protectors in total. They were the ones standing at the top in charge of guarding the entire palace in four directions.
The East Protector and West Protector were here. Both of them hide their identity and tag along with Lady Heimbra.
"Shit! This is bad!!" Dream gritted his teeth.
"Yeah, but we don't have a choice!" Yaniesvyl nodded.
"It seems that you wouldn't give up even after seeing us. I expected more from you, Princess Yaniesvyl." The West Protector said with a sigh.
"Don't waste any words at them. We should just kill them." The East Protector said with a huge grin on his face.
"I know." The West Protector nodded as a huge amount of mana burst out of his body.
Both of their figures flashed and quickly arrived in front of Yaniesvyl and Dream in an instant. Yaniesvyl and Dream's eyes shrank as they hurriedly brandished their weapons.
Bang! Bang!
In just a second, their figures were thrown several meters away. Yaniesvyl took an object from her pocket before she threw it into the sky. The small object exploded creating several lights in the sky.
"You want to call your comrades, right?" The East Protector grinned before he leaped forward. His figure burst forth as he thrust the short sword in his hand.
Yaniesvyl used everything she got to protect herself. She hurriedly activated several combat arts to boost her power. She moved to the side to avoid her opponent's attack but the East Protector forcefully stopped his attack. Then, he swung sideways aiming at Yaniesvyl's neck.
'Not good.' Yaniesvyl used the handle of her sword to parry it. Then, she stepped forward before she spun and used her momentum to kick her opponent's stomach.
Bang!
The East Protector was forced to back away. Yaniesvyl didn't waste any more time. She raised her sword as the temperature rose sharply. Flames danced around her blade as she swung her sword downward.
"It's not enough!" The East Protector said before he activated several combat arts that he knew to boost his stats. With this power, he raised his sword and swiftly slashed the incoming attack.
His attack was clearly stronger. Yaniesvyl slash only lasted a second before it broke apart. She knew that the East Protector was stronger than her so she was prepared for this. Before the two attacks collided, she retreated and prepared herself to cast a spell.
"Fall!"
She raised her hand as her mana flared up. A magic circle appeared beneath her feet, shining brightly like a sun.
In the next second, a giant flaming rock appeared in the sky. It has a diameter of one hundred fifty meters and it was descending at high speed.
"You want to attack the barrier!" The East Protector only laughed at her last-ditch effort. He raised his sword and was about to execute a combat art when Yaniesvyl appeared in front of him.
"You!" Although he was surprised he still reacted swiftly. He bent backward to avoid the sword and kicked the ground. Then, he spun in the air before he kicked Yaniesvyl in the face. After that, he thrust his sword upward.
Boom!!
A beam of sword light flew out of his sword and collided with the flaming rock.
BOOM!!!
A loud explosion occurred as the flaming rock exploded. Its fragments fell down causing several small explosions in the area.
Cough! Cough!
Yaniesvyl coughed a mouthful of blood. She slightly turned her head and saw that Dream was in the same situation. The Two Protectors were only playing with them. Even at their full power, they couldn't match these two old men.
Boom!!
The land shook and the Six Layers Poison Array started to change color. It slowly turned green as green fog seeped out filling the area.
"No! It's at this stage!" Yaniesvyl gritted her teeth. She knew that the refinement of the Extreme Poison Field was close.
"What about you join us, Princess?" The West Protector asked. "If you join us, the Heiro Kingdom and Poison Demon Palace will be able to sweep the Spring Land. We will catch everyone off guard and attack the other top factions."
"Princess, don't listen to them..." Dream said with great effort.
"What are you saying? Even if I agree with you, I will still die because of the poison from Extreme Poison Field." Yaniesvyl laughed as she stood up and wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth.
"That's true..." The West Protector nodded. He couldn't refute her words since ordinary detoxification items wouldn't work against the Extreme Poison Field.
"See..." Yaniesvyl smiled as she pointed her sword ahead.
Before she could do anything, the East Protector appeared in front of her. He swiftly launched a series of sword attacks. He was too fast for her. Yaniesvyl couldn't even follow his movements.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ugh! Yaniesvyl groaned in pain. Several huge cuts appeared on her body as blood gushed out of these wounds non-stop.
"You're waiting for your comrades, right?" The East Protector smiled wickedly. "I have to tell you the truth now. East and West aren't the only protectors here. The North and South are here too. They are taking care of your comrades."
"What?!" Yaniesvyl widened her eyes. Her grip on her sword loosen and slowly, the sword fell to the ground causing a metallic sound.
Does this mean that the four protectors are here? Why?
She couldn't understand why would they leave the base of the Poison Demon Palace. If that's the case, the entire alliance made up of rouge experts was useless. They didn't stand a chance at all.
"You, Verto, and Dream. We'll take all of you alive and use you to gain an advantage to your factions. Now, we just have to find Casti and Hermo." The East Protector said wickedly.
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside his ear.
"You're looking for them. Unfortunately, they are not in this place anymore."
The East Protector's eyes shrank as he quickly shot a sword light before he jumped away to create some distance. Before he could take a good look, a voice sounded beside him once again.
"Are you looking for them? Do you want me to help you meet them?"
