The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Chapter 378 - Crisis



Chapter 378 - Crisis

Souta could easily overpower B-rank powerhouse on his own. It wasn't a problem to him with his current strength. All his training paid off. Also, it was thanks to the skill [Monster Force] that he got from the Underground King that his stats rose highly.

The entire training ground was silent while watching Souta placed back his sword in its sheath. He defeated all the Master-class Knight of the Gyunar Republic just like that.

For them, he was like a walking disaster that could destroy kingdoms. If words of this got out, different countries would watch his movements. They will try to bring him on their side and if they can't they will be forced to eliminate him.

Countries will work together just to bring him down so that they could sleep peacefully.

"This is..." Janford didn't know what to say anymore. The things that happened today was outside of his expectation.

No, the scale of this grew larger. Souta was an unknown variable which was extremely dangerous.

They had to think about their next move. A meeting about how would they handle people with this much power.

Souta smiled as he walked towards Alice and the rest.

Gyun's party was still in daze. They just couldn't believe what they saw at all. Even Isabella was shocked as her mouth was agape.

"I thought that you're going to make it easy for them," Alice said to him.

"Nope, against three B-rank powerhouses I need to be cautious. If I lowered my guard they would be able to injure me." Souta replied to her as he shrugged his shoulder.

He was right, any B-rank powerhouse had the power to kill him if he lowered his guard. His flesh wasn't that tough to endure a direct hit from a B-rank.

Janford called the other officials. They talked with Alice and Souta before they left the area. They were going to have an emergency meeting and Souta could guess it.

It's wasn't that much, since he defeated the strongest fighters of this country they had to talked about him. What will they do? Or how will they treat him?

There's a chance that they will offer him some high position or benefits. Also, they could assassinate him but that's the least that they would do. They saw his strength so assassins wouldn't be able to do any against him.

Souta, Alice, Isabella, and the Gyun's party went back to their room leaving the four Master-class Knights having a treatment in the training ground. The medicals of the palace were checking their condition.

In their room, Souta looked at Alice and said, "Accept their proposal. You'll become a duchess of this country."

Alice turned to him and asked, "Why?"

"You already know about it. If you become a duchess you'll slowly form connections here and find the things that we wanted." He said to her.

"I see..." Alice nodded at his words. The information about this world and if there's a chance that they could go back to Imperium. She then asked, "Then, what are you going to do? I'm sure that you're not going to leave everything to me, right?"

"Me? I'm going to bring Isabella and Yuko with me. I found something interesting that could entertain me. Also, if you failed to find the information I could probably find it." Souta replied to her as he glanced at Isabella.

"I-I'm going with you...?" Isabella looked at Souta with a confused expression.

"Yes, you're going with me. Then," He nodded and glanced at the Gyun's party before he said, "You guys decided to follow us, right? I need you to stay here and become Alice's retainer. She could also teach you some skills to boost your strength. At the moment, you guys can't do anything."

"Eh??" Gyun, Mae, Rini, and the rest were surprised. They understood that they couldn't do anything to help these two who had a Master-class Knight strength.

Souta will leave this place after Alice became a duchess. He will follow that woman named Lydia. Since the Great Astley Empire managed to arrive at the Imperium, he will just use that chance to go back to the Great World.

They will know the coordination of the Great World sooner or later. That's why he had to make contact with the Great Astley Empire.

...

In the meeting room, all the higher-ups of the Gyunar Republic were present. They were sitting around a large table and everyone had a grave look on their face.

"Do you think this is connected to the two Master-class Knights that appeared in our country?" The president of the country asked in a grave tone.

They were just talking about the Souta and Alice when they received a piece of news that the Condifan Empire, the oldest country in the world, collapsed.

One of the three strongest countries collapsed in just a day. Just who could destroy that country with overwhelming military power.

"There's a possibility that they are related to each other. According to some survivors, the one that destroyed the Condifan Empire is an army. A powerful army with powerful troops. It caught the empire off guard as it suddenly appeared in the middle of the capital." One of the officials slowly explained. "They fought the empire's army and in the end, they managed to defeat them. All the Master-class Knights of the empire were killed in the battle."

"Strange occurrence is happening in different parts of the world. The two people that appeared in our country are said to come from the Great Tunbra Forest. As we know we haven't explored the entirety of the forest. Maybe, there's an unknown country inside there that grew in power without us knowing about it." Another official said.

"Yes, the possibility of that is high. We can't deal with this alone. We had to work together with other countries. Dragons are rampaging in some countries while people with overwhelming strength are appearing too." Janford said with a gloomy expression.

"I see... We will contact the Linca Empire first to know what they think about it." The president nodded his head while tapping his finger on the table. "Also, try to ask the two Master-class Knight if they know something about the people who attack the Condifan Empire."

"Yes, we will try everything to gather information about that army."

What they didn't know was that the army that attacked the Condifan Empire was many times stronger than the combined army of all countries of this world. The Great Astley Empire ruled hundreds of worlds and this world was just one of their current target.

...

A few days later, Souta set out to go to the other country with Isabella and Yuko. Lydia followed him with his consent. Of course, she was trying to gather powerful people that could help her in her goals in stopping the invasion of the Great Astley Empire.

"You still didn't believe my story. Words of the collapse of the Condifan Empire spread out in the entire world like a wildfire." Lydia said to him.

"Yeah, yeah, I know but why are you sure that they are the ones who destroyed the Condifan Empire?" Souta said nonchalantly.

"The other countries didn't have enough strength to do that in one day. Only the Great Astley Empire has the power to do it." Lydia said to him in a loud voice. She wanted to convince him that her words were true.

"A few B-ranks are strongest in that country... If I have my entire legion here, I could also do that. No, Yuko is already enough to destroy that country." Souta replied to her as he kept walking.

"B-ranks? Yuko? No, stop joking. I'm serious here. I'm talking about serious things here." Lydia said as she shook her head.

"I'm serious," Souta said as he smiled and shrugged his shoulder. That's true, Yuko was enough to wipe out a country as strong as the Gyunar Republic. A few B-ranks weren't enough to defeat her.

Also, all the combat arts and spells in this world were low grades. Low-ranks combat arts and low-tier spells. That's why most of the B-rank powerhouses in this world couldn't bring out their true power as they were just using combat arts for D-rank and C-rank fighters.

"Fine. We'll go towards the Condifan Empire to see if what you're saying is true or not." Souta said as he looked at her.

Lydia opened her eyes widely and said, "Are you out of your mind? That place is dangerous. The army of the Great Astley Empire is there."

Isabella who was listening to the two suddenly asked, "Um... You're from another world, r-right? Then, how did you get into this world?"

Souta and Lydia stopped as they turned to Isabella.

Souta smiled and said, "That's a good question, Isabella. Okay, Lydia, tell me how did you arrive in this world? I will believe you if you tell me how?"

"I..." Lydia was speechless. She didn't know what to say to the two.
