The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Chapter 663: War in Subterranean World: Setting Up

Souta could see it. The end of this war was near. He just hoped that Chief Captain Vandal could defeat the leader of the Red Matter Association. Nevertheless, he would arrange things secretly for his own good.

The warriors were rushing towards the three nations. It's getting chaotic as he could feel several powerful energy coming from that direction. At the very least, they've already eliminated five of the twelve executives of the Red Matter. Two of the strongest executives were gone so it should be easier this time.

But what's the goal of Red Matter? He wanted to know why they sacrificed their strongest fighters to buy some time.

"This will be the last... Luckily, I've saved some of my aces."

Souta muttered with a sigh. He had fought dozens of experts ever since they arrived in the Fone Kingdom. In all those battles, he could finish his opponents without taking injuries but he tried to save his aces.

Sadly, he didn't manage to save his [Element Drive] and [Yin Yang Twin Spirits]. But that's fine since he wouldn't be able to make it out alive if he didn't use these two abilities.

He turned to the side and looked at Larry, the top 1 executive.

Larry still had that smile on his face. His injuries were so severe that he was going to die in the next few seconds. He was only alive because of his great vitality as a powerful expert. Even if someone gave him first aid, it was already too late. He already lost a huge amount of blood and most of his internal organs were damaged from his battle against Vandal.

Some of the warriors wanted to capture him and interrogate him as the top 1 executive of the Red Matter Association, Larry must've known a lot of information about the plan of his leader. But it was already too late as he was going to die soon.

"Did I do great...? I'm sorry, master... I wanted to hold them longer but we were not enough..." Larry said as his vision turned blurry. He stretched out his hand and reached for the sky. "I hope you're satisfied with my service..."

He could still remember the time when he was on the streets begging people for money. His master pulled him out of that place and gave him a place where he could call home.

Souta shook his head before he followed the other warriors. He slightly bent his knees before he flew into the sky.

Boom!

Hundreds of warriors charged toward the three nations. When they arrived at the vicinity, they saw the chaos inside. Buildings were collapsing one by one and thousands of people were fighting. Some people sided with the Red Matter and some people sided with the government.

It was chaotic as explosions were erupting in different parts of the country. People that didn't have strength couldn't do anything but flee in panic.

The metallic pillars that surfaced from the ground continued upward. The pillars were actually connected to the enormous object inside the energy pillar at the center of the three nations.

"What the hell is that?!"

"That thing is so huge!"

"What...?!"

The warriors were stupefied when they saw it.

Ohm!

The energy disperses in the surroundings and the appearance of the object was revealed. It was a giant piece of solid rock with various buildings and castles on top of it. The metallic pillars turned into flexible limbs connected to the giant rock above and thousands of runes were glimmering around it.

It was like a giant spider. It covered the boundaries of the three nations while the metallic limbs were inside the cities.

It has the size of an entire nation.

Looking at this scene, Avron laughed while opening his arms widely.

"This is the Aranhgrad. It's time to start the next step."

He muttered as he floated above the Aranhgrad and landed on the supposedly head of the giant object.

The rest of the executives followed him.

Avron walked for a few meters and stopped in front of a rectangular-shaped object protruding from the ground. Then, he placed his palm on top of it before pouring his energy.

Ohm!!

A ripple of energy slowly swept out. It was silent and harmless but something happened in the Aranhgrad.

A mechanical sound rang as numerous runes shone brightly.

Avron removed his hand and an enormous amount of mana gathered on top of it before surging towards the sky.

One of the executives approached him from behind and asked, "Are you sure about this, Master?"

"Yeah, this is the only way..." Avron nodded as he tightly clenched his fists.

The people of the three nations will all die if this plan continues. Although he had killed people before, killing tens of millions of people would feel different as it brought him huge pressure on his shoulder.

But he already steeled his heart. If he didn't continue this, he would die along with his subordinates. He would die in vain.

He at least wanted to take down those people with him if he was gonna die.

Ohm!!

The energy in the sky scattered around and covered the entire three nations like a barrier. The barrier was harmless as of this moment but later on, it will become the opposite. It will massacre all the living creatures around without mercy.

"Sometimes I asked, how did we end up like this?"

Avron muttered as he turned around and faced his seven remaining executives.

"Josen."

"Master." Josen fixed his posture. He was a man with a pair of wolf's ears on the side of his head and a wolf's tail on his back. He was the third executive.

"Nigret."

"At your command." Nigret kneeled down respectfully. He had a pair of antennas on top of his head and exoskeletons on his arms and legs. He was the fifth executive.

"Lovan."

"Yes, sir." Lovan was a man with long black hair with a scar on his left eye. He was the sixth executive.

"Ashen."

"Master." Ashen was a beautiful elf with pure white hair and green-colored eyes. She was the seventh executive.

"Amy."

"Yes, master." Amy was a beautiful woman with green scales on some parts of her body. She also had a pair of horns sticking out of her forehead. She was the ninth executive.

"Wenkha."

"I'll follow your command," Wenkha said calmly. He had a short green hair, green eyes, and his body was covered in light armor. He's the tenth executive.

"Crusz."

"I'm here, master." Crusz was a two-and-a-half-meter-tall man. His eyes were red and his long red hair was tied in a ponytail. He was the eleventh executive.

Avron looked at them one by one with a calm expression. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Larry and the others had fallen. They performed well against a strong enemy and we'll not forget what they did for us."

He took a deep breath and stretched out his hand.

"Here, after this, you will..."

...

The situation escalated quickly and it became an all-out war. The Red Matter Association and the rebels against Athen's Champion and the government of the three nations.

A full-blown war occurred.

Staring at this scene from above, Vandal felt cold in his heart. A lot of people were dying every second and it was horrifying.

"I need to stop this..."

This subterranean world was isolated from the surface and people were here living a life without caring about the events on the surface. This place was huge and it could be compared to some of the small sub-worlds out there.

The dangers here were small and they didn't have a lot of competition. There were only four countries and it seems that four of them were on friendly terms. As for the monsters living in the mountains, rivers, and forests, they were not strong but not weak at the same time. It was only equivalent to the power level of the people in this place.

That was if he wouldn't include the fifth evolution stage that one of his warriors said. But they haven't proved anything yet aside from that instance of suppression that his warrior felt.

Nevertheless, the entire population of the subterranean world was high. The dangers here were a lot lower than the dangers on the surface and there wasn't war here. It was a huge factor why the number of people in this place was higher to some unknown kingdom on the surface.

"Go into formation."

Vandal narrowed his eyes.

His command was passed down and warriors from the Fourth Set had started to move. They surrounded the three nations with little manpower.

The barrier that was covering the three nations was harmless. Warriors could go out and go inside without being affected by it. But he had a bad feeling about it.

So he asked Fourth Set to surround the nations and set up their own battle. While the Fourth Set was around, they would fight the Red Matter Association in an all-out battle.

Anyone from the enemy's side that tried to leave would be struck down by the warriors from Fourth Set.

They will lock down three countries at the same time.
